Small Town Mayors and Families vs. Community Organizers

I was gratified and surprised by the acceptance of Sarah Palin's thrilling Veep  speech last night.  Many of the commentators on MSNBC and CNN were actually impressed.  However, there was some surprising grousing.  One commentator on CNN (Sorry.  I didn't get his name, my journalism skills are very rusty) actually said community organizers were going to be upset by her disparaging remarks about community organizers. 

Excuse me.  Did any of the liberal whiners not notice the content of the remark?  She said the difference between an organizer and a small time mayor is that a mayor has responsibilities.  She brought it up because the democrats were making fun of her as "only" a small town mayor.  Is she not allowed to defend herself?  Is she not allowed to defend small town mayors?  Is the democratic party going to apologize to all the small town mayors who work so hard (quite often for no pay) and diligently for their towns?

It is so typical of thin skinned democrats and liberals that they can dish it out, but they can't take it.  They fell free to criticize, demean and belittle, but when the shoe is on the other foot, they immediately cry foul.

I won't comment further on Palin's speech.  I will comment on her family however.  She has one.  A real one.  Not a token daughter.  She truly loves her first child.  So much, that she had four more.  She is a true feminist which is to say that she is a true woman.  In fact, there is no way on can be a real feminist without being a feminine woman first.  More on that in future days.

Sarah Palin..Republican Great White Hope in a dress or a small town pawn ? Don't get me wrong..I like refreshing change as much as the next guy but unless you're a liberal how can you believe good intentions are going to be effective in the scrum of Washington politics ?

I have been around too long and seen too many reformers taken down by the corrosive, seductive forces of the Beltway

I remember a high school baseball pitcher in my home town..no-hitters, 1-hitters were his norm..he got drafted and played in single A but never made it to the bigs..the coaches were smart enough not to put him in the starting rotation of the Dodgers until he had an ERA (the old fashioned kind..not the equal rights kind) against the big kids

My guess is that Sarah will eventually wind up wounded and broken on the Republican landfill in a layer just above The Contract with America
