You Cannot Vilify with Truth -- Palin Criticism is Justified -- the "Palin Myth" is Crumbling

The Republican propaganda talking point this morning is that Sarah Palin, new darling of the extreme right, has been "vilified" in the media by the left wing Democrats. Here they go again! Facts are just coming out about Palin that are different from the glowing narrative they presented at their myth making convention. So the Republican shills on cable television are chattering anew about how Palin's honor has been attacked, according to them, "unfairly."

Here is woman who ran in no primary, who has not had a regular news conference as a candidate for vice-president for over two weeks, and the Republicans do not want any negative stories or criticism. They want to continue to manipulate and control all media, as they have pretty effectively during the last eight years of Bush-Cheney Republican rule. But a real investigative spotlight will send the Palin Myth crumbling.

They are playing the old change of direction game that they do so well, but which is death to democracy. When Palin gets caught with having a lack of experience or a real-life lack of commitment to conservative family 'values'--it's always THE LEFT who are wrong, not the duplicitous candidate ! Isn't it nice to take things out of context and claim ignorance all at the same time? This is a prime Republican tactic. What is so sad is that it works with half the population.

The truth is that Palin is a lightweight candidate picked for reasons of perceived electability and not on her qualifications to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency. There were far better candidates in the Republican party, but she was picked by the bosses to be the one to carry on the Bush legacy, because, I believe, of her malleability. One things the Republicans have proved is that they can get elected, but they do not govern well. Palin goes along with this pattern.

It amazes me how hypocritical the right is on the issue of Palin. If Palin were a democrat with the list of things found out on her, Hannity...Limbaugh...and the right wing bloggers would be having a field day with it.

And vilfied? Your'e talking about vilified, what have they been doing for months to Barack Obama? That is okay, but hands off our icon Sarah, who no one may question -- (because, in truth, she might not be able to answer the question).

If we stuck to issues and policies, there is no doubt in my mind that a majority would feel it is time for a change from the ideas of McCain-Palin-Bush. This is the bunch that has driven this country into a very deep ditch. We need to elect some folks who will govern us well, who will make government work. You cannot make government work when you are trying to deconstruct it, as Bush-Cheney has done, as McCain-Palin will do.

But now the Republicans are running against themselves -- and they are winning.

Heaven help us!
