BobTom- you voted for Brother Bill in '92 and '96? I knew you were a heckuva nice guy but didn't know you also had such political acumen 
Comparing Palin to Truman, Roosevelt, Reagan and Jackson is kind of silly. Truman was not only very intelligent but a war hero commanding his troops during WW 1. Not sure if you meant FDR or Teddy Roosevelt but both were very educated and intelligent men. Both exhibited incredible courage in their lives whether it be Teddy dedicating his life to busting trusts (the monoplists were shaking in their boots), preserving the environment or courage in war, or FDR and his fight against polio, etc. Reagan? Well maybe she could be compared to a poor man's Reagan.
The party that scripted the Watergate coverup, that let its dirty tricks people loose on Edmund Muskie, that spread the lies about Kerry and smeared a true war hero is busy again. They have found in Palin a Stepford Wife who takes orders and espouses the party line. Maverick? Ha. If you wanted an intelligent woman who was a true conservative why not someone like Elizabeth Dole? Palin is a joke. If she were a Democrat the Royal Rooters of the Conservative Right would have a field day with her, so don't give me the b.s. that it is the leftist media that is causing her her problems. What is causing her problems is that America is waking up and realizing that she could be just one heartbeat away.....
