Does anyone recall the movie starring Wynona Rider called: "The Heathers"? It was a cliqué of 4 girls, all of whom called themselves Heather, who went around victimizing, even resorting to the ultimate - murder - when things did not go their way. Palin likely was one of those types in school, though her platform was different --she was in sports. She was probably a bully as well; kicking one's friends to the curb and under the bus are not sterling qualities to boot.
Mean-spirited, ambition-at-any-cost and by any means necessary people have always been part of our lives; they lie, cheat & steal with no conscience. Palin embodies that most embarassing, egregiously hostile ambition to the point of murder, figuratively & literally, that a female can possess. Many of these women who look as she does relate to her, but they do not know what lies beneath that hockey-mom, sugar-coated veneer. What exactly IS the upside to ANY female being a PIT BULL in lipstick, pantyhose or anything?
The fact that she's a fundamentalist states that there's never any room for flexibility in her life and generally these types of people scorn or will kill anyone who doesn't believe what they believe; and would prefer if they ALL looked like Palin.
She'll lie by comission as well as omission.
