Yes Hawk, it really is that simple, yet intelligent people have fallen for the politicians pitch....they create hate figures just as most here have done with Mrs Palin, when the only things worth hating in political terms are corporate global capitalism and its crude use of power and deception.

Mrs Palins positive values are hidden under a veil of abuse...every excuse to use her lack of education to diminish her as a person.

They do notr seem to realise that she, or someone very like her could be their only chance to break the mould that you have illustrated in your post above.
Mrs Palin believes in her values....and as far as I can see truly believes...maybe that's naivety on her part, but through someone like her power can be wrenched away from corporate America ...and corporate Britain....and returned to those from which it springs.
