The Power of the MSM
Though certainly unintended, thanks to the power of the MSM, an obscure first term Alaska Governor has become one of the most influential persons in the country. Love her or hate her, or somewhere between, it's hard to deny that the more the MSM tries to tear her down, the stronger she becomes.
This isn't meant as a pro or con for Palin post. It's simply an observation of the unending attacks on her by the MSM. Of course, that disclaimer won't stop ya'll from exhibiting all the symptoms of PDS.

PB - please excuse my ignorance (or lack of quickness) but WTF are MSM and PDS?

Thanks - I didn't know it was a SYNDROME - I thought it was just her! 
I certainly hope that doesn`t mean we will be seeing more of it - what if it becomes a pandemic

1) WHO chose Palin as the GOP VP candidate in 2008?
B) WHO went all gaga over said choice?
III) WHO decided to accept the VP nomination, even though it put her unwed, pregnant, teenage, daughter in the national spotlight (and then whined about the spotlight being on her unwed, pregnant, teenage, daughter)?
d) WHO decided that asking what publications a politician reads is a "gotcha question"?
101) WHO quit in the middle of her term as Governor, stating (in part; and apparently with a straight face) that to complete her term would "be the quitters way out"?

Like it or not, far, far more Americans relate to, look like, sound like, and think similarly to Palin than Obama.
You guys either believe in majority rule/the People, or you don't.

That's why the 2008 Presidential Election turned out the way it did, right?

That's beyond bratty -- even for someone who thinks that subatomic particles can have mass at one velocity, no mass at another, all so that a particular myth can be "proven" right.
No, I don't believe in majority rule, I believe in freedom.
It's your side that pretends to believe in that archaic, barbaric, thinking- and responsibility-evading political structure -- until, that is, the unwashed masses want something the Anointed don't like, at which time the gloves come off and we see what you folks really mean by "democracy".

Funny, for all your rants and raves, Rags, I don't see any answers to the questions I posted. You are capable of directly answering a question without changing the subject (or posting a personal attack), aren't you?
