What the media did to her and her family was wrong.But,that's not something that happens exclusively to Republicans and you know that.
I don't believe that she's a bad person by any stretch of the imagination at all but she has no business in politics on the national level.
And yes,alot of what I dislike does come back to ALEC because of that organizations agenda.And it makes absolutely no sense to say that it doesn't come back to ALEC if you don't know what ALEC is all about.One of their strategies is to eliminate all public sector unions.The reason? to eliminate their competion.look it up!
But,that's just my opinion.

Like I said, you were lied to and you drank the kool-ade, like a lot of other people. You just admitted it. You were told to dislike her because she couldn't name what MAGAZINE (not newspaper) she read on a regular basis. You probably never listened to her explaination for what she said in that interview, or why. You don't know that those "interviews" are completely scripted beforehand, by both parties (Dem and Republicans alike)... so that no one gets asked a question that they might make them look bad. You never knew that Couric was lying in wait to ambush Palin. You never knew that Katie went totally off the agreed to beforehand script. You didn't know how mad Ms. Palin was at the questions about her children that Katie asked just before the question about what she read. You don't know that she almost stopped the interview right then. Yes, she became flustered... SO WHAT???? My God man... do you really think that because she didn't answer what magazine she read that disqualified her to run? How stupid is that? How stupid is it for anyone to believe something like that.. How stupid is it to believe that a college graduate with a degree in journalism, a Mayor, a Governor doesn't know what she reads??? How stupid can people get? It had absolutely NOTHING to do with her abilities to lead... but the media told you it did so you swallowed the kool-ade and believed them ...because you were told to by the media...

And as to your comment about her not having business in politics on the national level I would submit to you that she is FAR more qualified to have business at the national level than the present inhabitant of the White house.

You said

Oh really? Tell me of one, just one attack that the media did against Obama and his family. Either then or now. Please, open your eyes.

As nice people we would all like to think that the attacks are just about equal, but in reality it's simply not so. The media is so overwhelmingly leftist that it's almost impossible to hear anything except what they want you to hear, what they want you to think. We're being brainwashed. If you repeat a lie often enough pretty soon everyone will start to believe it. And that's exactly what they are doing. Like Palin not being articulate, even though she graduated with a journalism degree, or Bush being dumb, even though he has two degrees, one from Yale (BA) and one from Harvard (MBA).

As to the rest of it, no, most Republicans do NOT think that she lost the White House .. The REAL fact is most Repubilcans think that John McCain lost the White house, due to the pathetic, inept campaign he ran. He never answered any attacks by Obama, he wouldn't allow anyone on his team (including Palin) to attack Obama or Obama's past, He was Mr Nice Guy, Mr. Casper Milktoast, and it cost him the election because of it.. he wanted to be liked by both sides,....and in the end the other side used him and his own side hated him... so what did it get him?? NOTHING!!

Last thought. The national elections have absolutely nothing to do with ALEC or any other organization, so forget that crap for now. The national elections have to do with who is going to run our country and in what direction they are going to lead it. The choice is simple and clear cut... Are we going to become a socialist country and then somewhere in the near future lose all our freedoms and slip into a dictatorship, or are we going to become a free republic again? That, in a nutshell, is what this election will decide. Your choice.
