i know it wasn't directed at me, but i do get upset about lies about sarah, just as i don't like the lies about obama, even if i don't plan on voting for him. you did say that "Some of the same people on this board who are upset over the negative things said about Palin, are the same ones agreeing with and spreading the lies about Obama." Thanks for the apology, wasn't needed, and wasn't trying to start an argument between me and you. i'm sorry if it came across that way! i just wanted it known that i don't spread lies about obama, but i don't like the lies about sarah either! :)

"Very well said. It's not all about Palin, it's about the fact that she is being used to represent the same people that despised those characteristics in others."

Yes, when the Republican Party tells McCain he can't have Lieberman as his running mate at the last minute, he runs out and grabs an inexperienced, totally unvetted, ultra-right wing politician from Alaska just because she is a woman. The obvious reason? McCain thinks he can pick up disaffected Hillary voters.

McCain's pick an insult to the intelligence of Hillary voters. Palin stands for the opposite of everything they stand for.

Electing Palin would not help Hillary's career or eventual chances at the Presidency. Electing Palin would roll back the clock on so many issues critical to women, such as equal pay - there will be no chance of overturning the Supreme Court's horrible decision in Ledbetter with more McCain/Palin appointees.

Palin is so radical that she is on the record as being in favor of forcing a woman to bear her rapist's child.

And Palin is just not up to the job. Period. Just look at her recent interviews. It's not Palin's fault. It's McCain's fault. Palin never had a chance. McCain didn't vet her to see how she would stand up.

McCain picked her way before she was ready with only a few days for her to prepare for the incredibly charged two months before a Presidential election. Palin is not a stupid person. I don't know if she's a bad person. I just don't know. None of us can. The only thing we can know right now is that she is a risky pick and certainly has not shown that she is ready to be President.

"these are the same women that were whining about not being able to play at Augusta"

I guess we're all just a nation of whiners, right? That's what McCain's Chief Economic Advisor called us, after all. He also said we are in a mental recession. McCain's next Chief Economic Advisor randomly declared in a meeting with reporters that McCain invented the Blackberry LOL!

So we should really listen to the fops (Fox-Republican officials and politicians - not you or anyone on this board) when they tell us we're just whiners, whether it's about women's issues, the economy, Iraq, or whatever else the fops disagree with us on.

"Excuse me? Those militant SAHM are the same ones slamming Palin for wanting to work"

This is what a prominent, female conservative, emphasis on conservative, pundit just said:

"Only Ms. Palin can save Mr. McCain, her party and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first"

How do we explain this?

It is amazing to me that we want the best in every field of endeavor except for our political choices. We want the best athletes for our teams, the best doctors to examine us, the best lawyers to defend us, the best teachers to teach our kids, the best carpenters to build our homes and so on. But when it comes to our political choices, we don't always look for the best, we appear to be OK with the incompetent as long as he/she connects with us emotionally.

Sarah Palin's Latest Interview Is Making People Sad

The mood over Sarah Palin is changing. Her political naysayers used to delight in her floundering her way through interviews (okay, that one interview with Charlie Gibson). They enjoyed pointing out her lack of credentials. But her interview with Katie Couric over the past two nights has elicited a different response — like cringing.

Basically because Biden knows what he is talking about.
