The media and the desperate political "insiders," are infuriated by John McCain daring to pick an "outsider," and from that weird territory called Alaska.
While I am part of the media, the newspaper I write for reports Conservative opinion as well as well-selected AP stories that actualy report the news. I am not embarrassed by my newspaper.
Yesterday, on KTKZ at noon, local political PR guy Doug Elmets filled in for Eric Hogue - a surprising choice. I had to turn the show off when he gleefully demonstrated his "insider" credentials, his years of working in Washington, and then called the Sarah Palin decision a "disaster."
What he failed to see as have many insiders is that citizens are tired of political insiders pontificating. Citizens are fed up with the pompousness and political dogma. And that's just from the Republicans. While the Republican insiders pontificate, the Democrats lie, cheat, steal and lecture citizens about how we need to shrink our carbon footprints while they fly around in private jets.
Sarah Palin represents real people. The excitement surrounding her pick as VP is that she's a classic working mother - she cooks for her family, she has kids, they are a family with real issues, and she went to a state college as most people do. What if she had gone to Junion College and then university? Gasp. She believes in God, and that's a big problem for the insider snobs and the atheistic media.
Citizens are so tired of the Ivy League snobbery and political blue bloods that Harvard and Yale produce - especially since most of the democrats who attended these schools did so courtesy of Affirmative Action.
Perhaps Eric Hogue strategically had Doug Elmets as a fill in on his show... because the callers were lighting up the lines in disagreement.
While the liberal media harpies like Sally Quinn and Maureen Dowd run Sarah Palin down for being a working mother and for her own family, Republican insiders are running her down for not being one of the "in" crowd. They are upset that no one asked them for their advise.
...while the rest of us are laughing at the squirming and whining of the insiders, and rolling our eyes at the hypocritical leftist harpie media hags, McCain and Palin will be storming those ""fly-over" states gaining popularity and votes.
