I'm done with her

Well, I am not defending Sarah Palin anymore. I have tried to be neutral. I have suggested that if she did a good job the next 4 years in Alaska, that she might be a great Republican candidate. But after her attacks this week, I am done. When I hear interviews with people leaving her rallies saying they are "afraid" of Barack Obama, saying they were on the fence before, but now they are "terrified" if Obama elected. More and more people are calling him a terrorist. We've seen these changes on this board this week.
She's either an idiot, or she is content to lead with fear and further fracture our country. If she believes that for a second that Obama has a terrorist agenda, she's a dummy. I don't think she believes it, however. I think she is just throwing out the insinuations, letting people connect the dots, and come to the most vicious of conclusions. I've heard her lastest battle cry referred to as "red meat" speeches, where she is throwing raw meat to the savage dogs to work them into a frenzy, throwing chum in the water to stir up the sharks.
I can take this kinda crap from Hannity or Rush or Savage or any of the others. But she is trying to be the VP - NOTHING about her this week has been either Presidential or remotely classy. Will she use this same language about world leaders? Will she say the same about our Secretary of State when they meet with "unfriendly" leaders? Did Colin Powell or Condy Rice "pal around with terrorists"? They have certainly met with some of the most controversial leaders in the world.
I won't defend her any more. I will not, as a Republican woman myself, support her if chooses to run on '12. I will leave her to the dogs and let them attack. I am ready for REAL change, and this type of race baiting, this type of insulting, unpatriotic dialogue about a STANDING US SENATOR, is beyond insulting. I'm disappointed in her, in myself for supporting her, and this morning, as I listened to part of her speech, I actually threw up in my mouth a little. Her words, her tone, and the response she created was disgusting. I am done with her.
