"I wonder if some of these rumors aren't started by conservatives as a way of making her seem more victimized. I swear half of the rumors I hear people trying to "debunk" are rumors I never heard to begin with."
Yeah, but see, ONLY the Republicans can go on the attack. Only the Republicans are able to be aggressive. The Democrats are supposed to sit back and smile. See, even though the Republicans have been in power for most of a decade, they're the party of resentment. They're the party that the whole media is picking on. Except AM radio and Fox and the Washington Post and...well, THE MEDIA hates them all.
"Psychologists analyzed 88 studies, from 12 countries, with over 22,000 subjects, and found that death anxiety, intolerance of ambiguity, lack of openness to experience, uncertainty avoidance, need for cognitive closure, need for personal structure, and threat of loss of position or self-esteem all contribute to the degree of one's overall political conservatism. Political conservatives stress resistance to change and are motivated to reduce threat and uncertainty."
Conservatives do truly believe they are being victimized and conspired against. Of course, they know how this campaign of Fears, Queers and Smears has been strategically used against their opponents - so they assume that a similar campaign is being used against them. I believe that is called a guilty projection.
So apparently several reporters have dug up more "dirt" on Palin about her time in office, but instead of publishing the info, they passed it Charles Gibson so that he could catch her in a "gotcha" moment without advanced prepping from her handlers.
This is, like, 5th hand information heard from the friend of a friend of a friend who works for a Disney company, parent to ABC.
It will be interesting to see how she does either way. I think she is going to surprise a lot of her critics. It will be good to hear something from her besides that convention speech again.

It's not a RUMOR.
Well, then, my apologies to all those
