Conservative Cabal

I’ve often said over the last six years, what is the Left going to do in 2009, when there is no George Bush left in office to hate? What will they do?  Will they be like White Sox fans, whose initial response after winning the World Series a few years back was, “See Cubs fans! You didn’t win! Ha ha! We hate you!” And continue the anti-Bush rhetoric into 2012? That’s what’s called Sore Winning.

So W will be out in January, but the fear is ever present with liberals that Americans will act on their inherent homophobic, racist attitudes (liberals “love” America, just not Americans) and vote another eeeeevil Republican into office. Those heartless, hopeless, ignorant rubes could screw everything up, and they must be stopped!

Then entered Sarah Palin, and the fear went into overdrive. Dems are still very confident they’ll win, but there is fear there because she energizes middle-class, grassroots conservatives and so they HATE Sarah Palin. All the energy and venom previously directed to Bush is now aimed at the governor of Alaska, who they had never heard of before Labor Day.

And I have yet to hear one really reasonable argument against her being VP, a “heart-beat away from the presidency”. I have friends saying Todd Palin is giving goatees a bad name, and they wish to shave theirs. Others are alarmed by the occasional winking, which Palin used to very good effect in the recent debate. Keep it up, sister  ;-)

Of course, it’s so incredibly, almost childishly obvious that liberals are afraid of a strong,  attractive woman who knows how to use her femininity, and in defense of conservative principles no less!  I think her winking made some men take notice, and it made others uncomfortable. Maybe they don’t want to admit that they find her attractive at all because they are telling themselves that there is no possible way they could like someone with her views.

And isn’t that what we should be talking about, really? Call me naive, but come on.  From Joe Biden to Billy Bragg (ugh), I have heard for over a year that this is an election where Americans can really make a change.

Think about what that really means. Let’s just stop and think. Change is only as good as what it changes to.

Sarah Palin is, simply, a great role model for American women. She IS strong. She IS independent. She IS feminine.

Her lack of “experience” is a reasonable issue that reasonable people can debate, but the same can be said of Obama, and as NR said recently, the question of his experience is … more pressing.
