I've been following the stories about Palin fairly carefully over the last couple of weeks. I've realized that people who like her and plan on voting for her because she's "like them", will do so, no matter what evidence may be revealed and by which source. Even if there is video proof of her actually saying something, her supporters either will say it's taken out of context, it's a lie or it's an attempt to somehow diminish this woman. It's the Democrats who are "elitist""mocking" or whatever. How easy it is to overlook that Palin's running mate, who we can assume will at least be the President on January 20, 2009, if they are elected has 7 homes and Palin herself wears glasses that cost $375, about twice as much as I paid for my own glasses. Isn't that just a tiny bit elitist? (Oh I forget. These are just "lies" and "innuendos" like everything else about Palin/McCain) When these Palin supporters are left without a job, a home and health insurance, thanks to the continuation of the failed Bush policies, perhaps they think they can move into the White House, or go out and hunt moose after their 8 hour emergency room visit, the only health care they'll be able to afford.
