I'm not a product of the Puzzle Palace. I worked there from 1990-1995. Before that, I worked in the field for the Army. After it, I worked in OUSDP doing technology security. The jobs I held in USDP allowed me to work in close proximity to those I have criticized from the Bush Administration and in DC think tank community.
The reason I won't list all the things that I dislike about Sarah Palin is that she has no positions beyond the Conservative Right Wing. In my mind she is a "personality" not a serious politician. I find amusing the reason you give for her quitting as the Alaska Governor... To my way of thinking, you run for office, you put yourself out in the public domain. You take the office to which you are elected and serve the people, not your own selfish interests. If it were merely the lawsuits, she could have just disappeared, but has she? NO. She's taking the money. She's still putting herself out there. If she were a serious person, she would have stuck it out in Alaska for her term. She's nothing more than a mouthpiece. She doesn't have any ideas of her own.
Anything I would say will not persuade you to change your mind about her. I'm hardly alone in my dislike of her. Other than the people who express opinions here, I don't know anyone who thinks that she has something to offer the country.
Mr. Hodja is right. I don't have my finger on the pulse of mainstream America. For most of my adult life I have been blessed to live a comfortable lifestyle. And I'd be the last person to argue that Washington is mainstream; it is pretty far from mainstream. And that's why the politicians are having such a hard time connecting with their constituites. It's just a different world. Most of us don't live by sound bites and the 24 hour news cycle.
