Palin is their new Goddess of Conservatism, like Ron Paul was the God of Libertarianism, and Fred Thompson was the Last Great Hope.
Which means she's just another neocon.

Not conservatism but corporatism. The GOP does not support any candidate that doesn't fully endorse outright corporatism. So even with a change in faces the policies they support remain the same.
In short Palin is just a human face on a set of inhuman policies.
Note, the Democrats aren't much different, they just cloak their corporate whoring with a patina of social do-gooderism and slick propaganda so folks feel good as they lose their jobs and homes.

I don't think the right is really latching on to her. I think there is something of a media push to make us believe it so that she can be milked for entertaining stories, and conservatives are really looking elsewhere.

So true--about both parties. Democratic politicians fully blew their do-gooder cover when the majority of them supported TARP, despite the known and overwhelming opposition by the rank-and-file of their own party.

I got to agree, the MSM has used Palin from the get go as a comedy prop and also drove her from office. I wish they would have applied half as much energy to exposing the link between Wall Street and our economic crisis.
That's alright though, as they are busy making themselves irrelevant through being asskissers to the oligarchic elite. I take great joy at watching fish wrappers like the NYT and LAT slowly croak thanks to their bullshit they try to pass off as news and censoring other important stories because it doesn't pass their ideology test.
CNN and MSNBC are nothing but jokes and don't even bother to do news but agenda driven news casting. They mock Fox but they are even worse and more sanctimonious. And its reflected in their sinking ratings.
As it stands now all the MSM is good for anymore is celebrity gossip and balloon chases.

As it stands now all the MSM is good for anymore is celebrity gossip and balloon chases. Exactly. A case in point today was when PBS (Plutocratic Bull-Shit) broadcasting interviewed another war-mongers trying to sell the war in Afghanistan—as being "necessary" and significantly "different" than when the Russians got their butts handed to them by the Afghanistan resistance. MSM & "public" broadcasting consist only of celebrity & entertainment industry news, combined with lies and half-truths to support the Terror-Wall Street-Banking-Health Insurance Complex. You'll find more truth & reality on the SciFi channel.
