The criticism of Palin is the criticism of you....
The Same attacks leveled at Palin would be the same attacks used on any American who went to the wrong schools, lived and worked in the wrong towns, had a normal family with patriotism, a working class lifestyle, and the humility that comes with a culture of faith. These elitist reflexes are not isolated to the Dems and the media....I couldn't help but to wonder how those entrenched Republican career politicians felt when she took aim at them. Make no mistake...she did! There are plenty of Ivy league elitists on both sides of the aisle. We have all seen and heard them as they make confident assertions about working class people. To many of them, education and bloodlines trumps ideas, intelligence, common sense and honor. ... Keep your eyes open, not only to Liberals and their attacks, but watch carefully for ivory tower republicans who will patronize, and think she's just a fluke or a convenient political fortune. They are just as stunned at Palin's success as some Dems......and they are also on her radar. Her world seems to be based on character and fairness. In a political world where so many other things decide success, it is refreshing to know that the common man or woman can still rise to greatness. Her success is a success of the middle class...unfortunately, the same is true if she fails.
