[Rhodes22-list] Political - Palin, Obama

[Brad Haslett]

Herb,

One of the Palin themes that the left loves to beat the drum to is
that she went to six different universities.  And that means what
exactly?  I went to five for an undergrad degree because I paid my own
way, and quite frankly, could only take bullshit in small doses (and
that is what most college professors are full of besides themselves).
Again, I challenge anyone to do their own due diligence and look at
the woman's very real accomplishments.  She actually had the courage
to leave a church because their views were too extreme for her tastes
and they weren't shouting "God Damn America" from the pulpit.  The MSM
double standard throughout this last cycle was disgusting.  There is a
reason the left and the media has gone on a feeding frenzy against
Palin and it is because she is so normal (and that strikes a nerve in
certain circles). Truman wouldn't stand a chance against this mindset.
 Then again, people underestimated him as well, including Roosevelt.
