    Palin's Trail O' Fear

    What bothers me most about Palin? It is her love of scaring people, dividing people. Steeped in the far right fundamentalism of "it's us against them " she loves the power rush of a nasty fight. She bullies, lies and smears with the best of them. She is McCain's alter ego in the guise of an attractive woman. She is on the blind ambition tour bus and if she ends up under it (by her own campaign) it is where she deserves to be. I don't get it when people say they feel sorry for her. No one who ever underestimated her would make that statement. I hold her accountable for what comes out of her mouth on any issue. Scaring frightened people into voting for you is inexcusable.
