The Right really does not care what Sarah Palin says, as long as she doesn't step outside their group "theology." If she is anti-Semitic, no problem. A good portion of them share that belief. If she is racist, no problem. A larger portion share those beliefs. If she is anti-gay, absolutely no problem. Every one of the social conservatives share that position.

Palin is the sweetheart of the hard right because she is the female George W. Bush. She is marginally educated and happily complacent in her ignorance. She believes in her heart of hearts that America is ALWAYS right - even when it invades sovereign nations, or tortures. She believes that conservatives - and only conservatives - have the right answer to every problem (even when she proves that she does not understand the nuance of those problems). And she has that smirk - the female version of the "W" smirk - that shows her supporters that she understands "all those educated people think they understand, but it's really US who do."

My own feeling is her own party (the Repubs) don't want her anywhere near the nomination. I suspect this is just the opportunity they were looking for to get rid of her.

Of course the woman will ALWAYS appeal to her base no matter what she says or does. But even in far right America, I think there are too many powerful people who understand that this woman would kill any chance the USA ever had of being taken seriously again as a nation.

One thing the people of this country know how to produce on a mass scale is "Stupid." Palin just is one of the producers and demand will remain high no matter what she does. Carroll Jenkins

Sarah Palin will go on and on and on. Her followers are not offended by anything she says, because they agree. She is the female version of W. The billionare republicans need Sarah Palin and her uneducated followers to get what they really want, more money. And they all go along, following each other off the cliff.
