We love Sarah Palin blogs seem to be very rare these days (this blog excepted, of course) as the negative media attacks against Sarah Palin continue to grow. Recently, Sarah Palin said something in a speech that drew some boos from her followers. But, as we have all seen, the media has done a great job of twisting this moment (like many others) for their own benefit.
What is it going to take to get a media that is actually responsible and responsive and NOT caught up in all the hype and negativity of campaigning? Even Barack Obama and John McCain have managed to set their differences aside for even just one night to have some laughs.
Blogs about Sarah Palin are no different than the media in a lot of respects. So many aimless bloggers about Sarah Palin are just out there creating content that is either completely false or negatively spun for some political aim.
Look, folks – we all know Sarah Palin is perhaps one of the most interesting politicians any of us have seen in a very long time. But that’s no reason to give her a figurative public beating for our own benefit or for the benefit of the blogosphere. What’s wrong with the Sarah Palin bloggers of the world?
This blog – Sarah Palin is “Change We Can Believe In” – is an effort to put the positive spin back into Sarah Palin. No, this is not about uncritical praise for the sake of the McCain – Palin ticket. This is about honoring a successful mother, politician, and woman. It’s also about honesty and straightforward reporting on Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin blogging in general has become somewhat sloppy and overplayed. We’re just trying to keep it real! I know you agree with me because you have seen the slop that’s out there lurking for anyone to read. We are fed up here at http://www.SarahPalinBlogs.com and we just won’t allow it to continue. (OK – maybe that’s a bit over the top, but we’re trying here!)
Blogs for Sarah Palin need to start delivering valuable content. Consider this a call to action for fair reporting and/or blogging. Regardless of what you call it, everyone of us in the blogging world has to hold ourselves accountable to some kind of a standard. Are you really contributing to the conversation, or are you just blowing more smoke in the average search engine users’ eyes?
What do you think dear Sarah Palin blog readers? What is the worst example of negative sloshing on Sarah Palin you have seen so far?

I saw Sarah palin at the Leesburg, VA rally today. She was totally awesome, extremely articulate, and more composed than most candidates I have seen in my lifetime. The media has done America an injustice in robbing her of the credit she so deserves. I honestly believe that Peggy Noonan and other female journalists must be jealous of Gov. Palin. Afterall, Peggy Noonan had her nostalgic hay day with Ronald Reagan years ago. It must be difficult to see such a young rising star like Sarah Palin, who is as beautiful as she is witty, articulate, and astonishingly charming, enter the glorious spotlight as the first American woman to be nominated for Vice president of the United States. Women seem to accept another woman who is smart, as long as she is not too pretty. On the other hand, a woman is ok being pretty, but she must not be too talented. Afterall, that would threaten to expose insecure feelings other women possess. In other words, Sarah Palin’s VP nomination reveals a point not discussed by the media; Women are more sexist towards other women, especially women like Palin, than any man would ever dare to be! Think about it. Sarah Palin hunts, fishes, and enjoys sports like most men do. Nevertheless, she maintains her beautiful femininity, which makes her highly revered by most men. Women hate this! It makes them feel insecure knowing that a woman like this can relate so well to men, even to the point of becoming somewhat of a comrad to the male gender, yet at the same time maintaining the kind of physical beauty most men appreciate. Sarah Palin represents the opposite of what women have always demanded of men over the past few decades. Remember what female editors used to write concerning the ideal man? Women for years have been asking, why can’t men show sensitivity, and relate more to women, but still maintain masculinity and strength? Well, Sarah Palin relates to men concerning masculine hobbies, yet she maintains her feminity and beauty, and exhibits poise, composure and intelligence. Because of her extraordinary combination of success, intelligence, and good looks, female journalists have thrown all the mud at her that they are capable of throwing. Added to these attributes, is the fact that Sarah Palin represents conservatives family values, and capably articulates her views in a manner that connects with Americans in a superior way than most politicians can ever aspire to imitate. Hence, Sarah Palin’s attributal strengths cause others to target her, if not for her political ideology, at least out of envy.

I just want to say “thank you” to
Sarah and Todd Palin for having a rally today in Fredericksburg, Virginia. It really made my day listening to Sarah, shaking Todd’s hand, and participating in the event.
I really believe that Sarah is sincere and she will advocate for us with John McCain in the White house. You have my vote and support!
