Whats up with the Sarah Palin bashing?

Okay, im a Obama supporter, however I dont get the McCain advisers going on Fox news and bashing Sarah Palin. I mean didnt they help to select her??

Update:

I am not bashing her I actually feel sorry for her. I feel she is being the scapegoat for a failed campaign.

    I am a non republican conservative

    I did not vote for McCain/Palin

    McCain and his team are too spineless to accept their own failures

    When they roped in Sarah to join their campaign

    She had the highest approval rating of any governor in the United States

    .

    Sarah Palin for all faults

    spoke from her heart during the campaign On what she believed.

    Something Obama, McCain and Biden are unable to do.

    She was gracious in whatever the Republican strategists asked her to do

    Went on Saturday night live to do tasteless skits because they asked her too.

    Worked as hard as any candidate has ever ran for such a high office

    She energized HUGE crowds that would have never given politics a 2nd thought

    She was smeared more than any other candidate in history.

    And has NOT smeared back any of her detractors

    .

    The GOP hierarchy is now stabbing her in the back

    And handing her over to the liberal MSM sharks and the new renegade Fox news.

    Making her the blame for McCain failure to win the election.

    The Failure was in Republican Leadership.

    I would not vote for Sarah Palin for president,I do not believe she has the leadership or administration abilities to be president.

    I still think she is GREAT American.

    GOD BLESS HER

    The question is can she do it effectively... but you have fallen for the republican play book to create issues and say that the Democrats are asking the question... We have biigger problems that are going to have a bigger effect on us than the nimrod that can see Alaska from where she lives. You should be starting to realize the Economy is the issue to dump the Republican Mantra? It's a matter of pay now or pay letter. Republicans are all for lower taxes and smaller government except when their greed gets them in financial trouble. Here is the issue that you are dealing with... Since the Stock Market collapse of 1929 a system of checks and balances was instituted as the economy grew to keep greed in check. However, after Ronald Reagan took office and developed the theory of Trickle Down economics, They began to chip away at several levels of checks and balances. One of the first levels that they attacked were the Unions. Unions offered a level that reported abuses in the labor market. Second was deregulation where they actually removed regulation by allowing business to move off shore where inspection and over sight where non-existent... then they moved to gut the budgets of regulatory agencies that were left, to stop over-site. Usury laws were thrown to the wind and bankruptcy laws were changed to protect the rich. (Look up Usury Laws) Example: There are only 8 inspectors for all the livestock sold for food in California. Providing 30 percent of all the meat eaten in the United States and exported. The result is that you have lead painted toys for your children to play with, food is polluted with chemicals and Salmonella and Wall Street Collapses in a heap and your 401K falls through the floor while Oil prices shoot threw the roof because they changed the rules to allow speculation in the Oil market and fought alternative energy. All the while the Republicans keep claiming your taxes are to high and the reason is it's Ear Marks were causing it which equal less than 1 percent of the US budget . We need to start thinking smarter and get back to enforcement of good sound banking rules and reduce greed out of the equation. We need over sight at all levels of both government and business. We need to pay those taxes necessary to enforce regulation and stop investing billions in "Wars to No Where". Think where we would have been financially if we had not swallowed "Georges War to No Where" based on a lie. Wake up America!!! Obama for President

    When you are a strategist and you get your @$$ handle to you on a national stage, you start making excuses or no one will hire you to run their campaign. The "anonymous" source is someone who has no courage or evidence but needs to make something up.

    Most analyst are saying McCain lost the election when he did his "economy is sound" and campaign suspension to go back to DC. Palin had nothing to do with that fiasco.

  • Yea. It's a shame to see them do this. I think it's more a matter of these people trying to find a job for themselves. In my experience, what better way to get a new job than to bash the opponent to show your support for the new person? It sucks and that's why I quit corporate America 6 years ago. It sucks.

    Do we really have 57 states? or is it 47?

    obama couldnt remember how many states we have in this country. I hated geography in high school. Now I wish I had paid attention.

    She lost your candidate won, give it a rest!!

    It is all a rumor with no source, remember that you didn't want to listen to our warnings about obama even with sources.

    They don't need to bash her. She sets the precedence herself. I mean really, please someone stop her from off the cuff responses. People need to lay low on her and in a few months she may have the same fate as J. Edwards. People couldn't even remember he was the running mate for Kerry. The best thing for her right now is to study american history (after the Africa incident) maybe world history too.

    the liberal media thinks that it sells with their hate filled liberal audience and i guess it does . liberals need something or someone to hate that is how dictators like obama keep their followers happy. Bush will be gone soon. maybe jews or mexicans will be next.

    They need a scapegoat. But it's actually good. Anything that anyone can do to keep her out of national government is a good thing.

    Buyer's remorse. They didn't realize that Alaskans would elect a moron for governor. McCain didn't like Bush; his female equivalent probably grated on his nerves too.
