Why the Left FEARS Sarah Palin

I just had Jack Cafferty of CNN on in the background. He is all verklempt regarding Sarah Palin and a recent interview she gave that is out on video. You can see the whole thing HERE.

The interviewer who is making a film called, "How Barack Obama won the Presidency" had this comment:

What’s particularly valuable about my perspective is that I am not Charlie Gibson, Matt Lauer or Greta Van Susteren (who I understand now gets her mail delivered to the Palin home) — the conductors of the three most prominent interviews done in this Wasilla home on a frozen lake at the end of a drive with the sign “Palins” posted on a tree. I am virtually unknown nationally and there was absolutely no reason for anything to be done differently as “show” for us. We saw the genuine Sarah Palin and it is patently obvious this is the only one who exists.

She is the real deal.

A person from England who worked with and FOR Margaret Thatcher says this about Sarah:

I know Margaret Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher is a friend of mine. And as a matter of fact, Margaret Thatcher and Sarah Palin have a great deal in common.

They are far from identical; they rose in different political systems requiring different skills. As a parliamentarian, Mrs. Thatcher needed forensic and debating skills which her training in Oxford politics and as a tax lawyer gave her. Mrs. Palin is a good speaker, but she needs to hone her debating tactics if she is to match those of the Iron Lady.

On the other hand, Mrs. Palin rose in state politics to jobs requiring executive ability. Her successful conduct of the negotiations with Canada, Canadian provinces and American states over the Alaska pipeline was a larger executive task than anything handled by Mrs. Thatcher until she entered the Cabinet and, arguably, until she became prime minister.
Ann Coulter asks the question, "Is Sarah the next Reagan?"
“Absolutely,” Coulter said. “They’re not going to give up on the attacks. They see that Republicans have gold in Sarah Palin.

“If I were Sarah Palin’s adviser I would strongly advise her to not run in 2012. She’s very young.”

Instead, Palin should spend the next 8 or 12 years reading the Federalist Papers and other important political works, Coulter said.

“Raise your children so none of them turn out like Ron Reagan Junior, and be a good governor, and then I think she could be another Ronald Reagan…

I think the fear and loathing on the part of the left has most to do with Sarah's potential and focused moral compass.

No one ever kicks a dead dog. Sarah is being kicked, again and again. She is very much alive. She strikes real fear in the hearts of liberals all around the world.

I do not agree at all with you on this one. Sarah Palin lost the election for the Republican party.Just because she is pentecostal does not make her a role model or your vision of a leader who may have similar religious beliefs. She had a teenage daughter pregnant with a boy who had quit high school. and a down syndrome baby, besides her other children. This is the time in her life where she needs to be a mother and not running for office. Truly the worst blunder in the history of political election. A very lovely lady who is a breath of fresh air but the second most important leader in the world? Are you kidding?

If this comment was about Joe Biden it would be accurate.

I would MUCH rather see Sarah.

Sarah's pentecostal roots only reassures me of her core values in part. She nearly won the election for McCain. Without her he would have lost by 10% and not 6.

She will be back.
