There is no actual ignorance involved here. As much as I’d like to write off this HuffPo writer as being an idiot, sadly, it’s worse than that. She knows the truth, probably even did the research to which you’re referring. She just doesn’t care. The truth isn’t a “Gotcha.” Her BS, 10-cent legal analysis, however, is. To her, anyway, and anyone gullible enough to buy it.

Who will be Sarah Palins’ running mate in 2012?

I suspect Ms. Moore embraced the former, and her chosen path came at great sacrifice of the later.

Under those circumstances, writing would likely be extremely difficult for most, because the writer has been handicapped by the very limited vocabulary of the left’s Talking-Point-O-Matic.™

Titled Sarah Palin Still Befuddles the Media, relates views of AOL politics blogger Henneberger who attended Palin’s recent Indiana appearance. Spoke well of her. Also used the term ‘cultural conservative’ which to me is more accurate and meaningful than ‘social conservative.’ I relate very much to the former term, not at all to the latter. He who controls the language controls the culture.

Liberal MO – keep pounding the same old drum long enough and hard enough and it becomes *ta da* the truth.

Mark Levin’s book is. They will be helpless though they will try to ignore it, kill it etc.

2010 is excellent timing for the book. She will win re-election handily and be on her way to the Presidency.

Also, I think it will be a great book. Classy, but pulling no punches. A great story about a woman who rose from a very ordinary background through her own talents to become Governor and then VP candidate.

I hope this doesn’t happen but it might be a large problem if she ends up NOT running in 2012, or accepting another VP request. You would have a hugely disappointed base that might tend not to bother, especially if the candidate(s) ends up being someone uninspiring like you know who.

Of course I guess that’s why these ankle-biters are trying to do anything they can to take her down and/or discourage/tarnish her before that time.

One would hope for their sanity’s sake that this stuff isn’t purely out of animalistic hatred.

paraphrasing somebody, Seward I think, speaking of Lincoln on his death. Speculation here is that the book deal means she’s not running for re-election as Governor, but rather will be moving exclusively to the National effort. That speculation is reinforced by the fact that she has said she’ll keep the details of the deal confidential until she files her annual Ethics Act income sources report on March 31, 2010, only a couple of months before the filing deadline if she’s seeking re-election.

Interestingly, I have a letter from the Alaska State Ethics Attorney from early in the Palin Administration in which they opine that I will violate the Ethics Act if I use anything I learned in the course of my duties as a state officer in any manner for which I receive compensation – and I had been retired for over six months already, not an active employee. They go on to opine that any application or interpretation of any of the State’s labor agreements or labor policies for compensation will also violate the Act as will disclosure of any information I acquired in the course of my duties if that information has not already been publicly released. So, either they have one opinion for what I can do and another for her, or that’s going to be a really boring book. And somewhere in there she needs to reconcile why she says she’s on duty 24/7 when the issue is collecting per diem while living at home and how she’s going to do all the work on the book on her own time.

In actuality, I thought the Opinion was BS, told them so, gave them about five pages of ethics issues I’d really like to discus in a public forum, and went on with my business ignoring the opinion. They never did anything except huff and puff and threaten both me and my clients with actions under the Ethics Act. So, since I was threatened with Ethics Act charges by the Palin Administration constantly for 18 months of the two years that I was subject to the Act after I retired, I have a lot of trouble feeling much sympathy for her when the Act gets used against her.

I just got a letter from the RNC asking for more money–there was a “Gold” membership card stating that I was someone “special”.

Sarah Palin is the ONLY reason why I donated to the party (and McCain) last year. Arguing about the future while our country is being destroyed by Obama and the Democrats is really pointless.

I’m going to save my money for 2012. The Republican Party doesn’t deserve a dime from me since they don’t seem to believe in anything right now.
