online.wsj.com— Politically conservative author Peggy Noonan asks "Who is the real Sarah Palin?" What is it she stands for? After seven weeks, we still don't know.

I'm crossing my fingers that after Obama wins, Palin runs for President in 2012 and the Republicans are dumb enough to nominate her. She represents everything that all Democrats and Independents hate about the Republican Party. On her own, she would be lucky to get 35% of the vote.
Ohh please....I'm sick and tired of hearing about the "liberal media" and you silly little Republicans blaming your problems on it. It's a crock of s**t. Sarah Palin is god awful and people say what they think. Don't blame the media, blame the morons who give the media a reason to question.
"In the end the Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in American politics. It's no good, not for conservatism and not for the country. And yes, it is a mark against John McCain, against his judgment and idealism."
Yes we know what Sarah Palin stands for. Sarah Palin stands for the glorification of what President Bush (of all people) so aptly termed, "the soft bigotry of lowered expectations". Sarah is the personification of our racist, xenophobic, Bible-thumping and gun-clutching fascho-racist sub-culture. She stands for a society that is more concerned with maintaining a pretty exterior with no regard for core values.
Few quotes are as priceless or accurate as this one. McCain will forever regret his unbelievably poor choice of VP."In the past two weeks she has spent her time throwing out tinny lines to crowds she doesn't, really, understand. This is not a leader, this is a follower, and she follows what she imagines is the base, which is in fact a vast and broken-hearted thing whose pain she cannot, actually, imagine."

While I completely agree with you, I found it impossible to believe that Bush could be the source of such an eloquent phrase. Indeed he wasn't - he was merely the parrot. <a class="user" href="http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=576239">http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=57 ...</a>
