I want to to tell you something positive about Sarah Palin
She does have a decent side to her though it has been hidden for quite some time now. For the first six months Sarah was Governor she was the most popular Governor in the nation. Over eighty percent approval rating and more Democrats liked her than Republicans. (I'm sure that had a lot to do with her being picked) She did some good things in the beginning. One of those things was whenever an Alaskan died, their family received a personal letter from Sarah and the Office of the Governor. No previous Governor had ever done such a thing. She immediately imposed restrictions and a tax upon the oil industry on the North Slope, She sold the "Governor's Jet" which had become a very contentious issue among Alaskans. She put it on e-bey of all things, so as to make it as public as possible I suppose. It didn't sell and she ended up selling it to some big whig for less than half the cost, but she knew how to make herself popular. Anyway I just wanted some to know she wasn't always like she is now..I was one of those Democrats that actually gave her an honest chance in the beginning and was pleasantly surprised. However it was long before she was chosen to become the VP candidate that I had lost my good opinion of her. She just had a knack of pissing people off.

1. She's a zero and the reason a saying like "beauty

is only skin deep" gets coined. She's the poster child for it. She's an empty book and thinks she's an encyclopedia. Get the hook and get her off the stage.

2. What did she do to lose your positive view of her?
BTW I think you are brave for posting something like this.

5. Being popular does not necessarily indicate goodness
It depends on who you are popular with.

7. ...and then she crossed the state line and we've been suffering her ever since.
Too bad she didn't stay the hell up there.

12. I find it hard to believe
that she wrote a personal letter whenever an Alaskan died. I would be curious to know what happened to make you lose your good opinion of her.
