What's so wrong with Sarah Palin?

Well, I'm happy that Palin is presenting a different, more professional view of feminism. Perhaps she is not a liberal but even a conservative mom can be a Republican. Thanks for your comments.

Not all Rebuplicans have those same views. I am republican/conservative and I support Sarah Palin. Heck, even though it's rare, there are rebuplicans who support freedom of choice.

Yeah! I thought I was the only one. I'm more Republican than Democrat, but still believe that freedom of choice is essential. Once the government starts chipping away at our rights, we'll be no better than Iran. And, I think what a woman does with her own body is her own dang business and none of mine! Heck, I don't want the job of policing a woman's ovaries! I have enough trouble keeping up with mine. (P.S. I mention Iran as an example cause years ago, the Shaw mandated that all married women have seven children. Many of those children ended up in the streets and orphanages cause the families could no longer care for them. A woman is a human, not a cat. We can't keep having litters we can't support. But that's another topic!)

There are some couples that use two or more forms of birth control. That usually brings the number closer to 100% effective!

OH man, if its one pet peeve its men getting woman pregnant and being able to walk away free with absolutely no responsbility. What kind of example is that--its horrible. I believe men should be held MUCH MORE accountable then they are for pregnancies. There is a lot of misguided young woman getting pregnant and left to scrape for pennies on their own or just purely dysfuntional females who will get pregnant just to be accepted. Still doesn't make it right that a man gets to walk away free.

CLOSE still isn't 100%... I can't feel any more strongly about this... because 2 of my children were concieved when I assumed it would be completely impossible. I don't regret it of course!

I agree it is a new breaking grounf for a female to be Vice President if McCain wins. I have heard her talk on tv and I just like what all she is for and against. I hope she wins with mcCain. I think that she wil be a great help for McCain myself. I also feel like a female would be great to have in charge of the United States for once of at least to be the Vice President.

I hate to be one of those people that say, "I'd vote for her just cause she is a woman." But I would! Women are seriously in need of a leg up in politics. I'd like to think that Palin is breaking the ground for my own daughter when she is old enough to be President! By then, it won't seem like such a foreign concept in America.

Same here!

The levels of experience are different. Sarah Palin has 8 years of executive experience. Obama has 0 years of executive experience. There is also the issue that Obama is running for President, Palin is running for vice president. Their responsibilities are MUCH different.

True, there is a big difference in their levels of experience, not just years. Also a good point about the different positions for which they are running. President is obviously a position with much more responsibility, which makes experience all the more important.

I would imagine that Palin's detractors are more scared that four years as Vice President would adequately train her for the job of President. They don't like the idea of her busting into the good ol' boys club!

The foreign policy bit is a lie and excuse used by those who hate her. For the last 16 years we've elected presidents that had no foreign policy experience initially.

From what I hear, the current President had little foreign policy experience when he was elected and literally got through debates by saying, "I agree with him!" when asked questions about foreign policy. That's what I've heard anyway. I think her lack of experience has nothing to do with why people REALLY hate her.

It makes no difference to me taskr whether she has experience or not. If I had to vote for candidates that actually had experience for their job I'd hardly ever vote I like Palin

Your argument that she is too inexperienced is just stupid if you are supporting Obama. She has just as much experience as he does and she has executive experience. If you really cared about experience that much you wouldn't be supporting Obama. Obama's had no problem lying to the American people so I don't see where that is relevant. Did it bother you at all when Bill Clinton allowed Hillary to have an excessive role in the day to day operations of the country? I agree that the spouses shouldn't have such a significant role as it creates a conflict of interests, but Bill set the precedent for it as being just fine so long as they aren't paid.

Yea, what is up with that! Thats not cool for her husband to be trying to play a role in politics where he has none and Palin should not be allowing him or at least putting her foot down farther. If Palin were to make it into office and her Husand tried to play it the same way you can be sure I will be screaming off the highest mountain--get him out of there!

If she had those views and running on the Democratic ticket I would be voting REPUBLICAN this election LOL!!

What's fake about being a hockey mom? Her son plays hockey, and she's a mom. I think it's pretty straight forward.

I agree with you their is nothing wrong with her as far as I am conserned. I think it is just everyone is scared of here. They are worried that she will show the men in government up and prove that maybe for once a woman can work just as effectivly in govenment as a man can. They are just jelliouse of her because they are not in the drivers seat where she is.

Classy cat! You should really blog more! I'll bet you'd have a loyal following of readers. Intense opinion is hard to come by these days. People are so worried about offending that they censor their mouths. Why? When speech is the biggest weapon the average person possesses.

Well - I've never understood how people could place the value of an animal over a baby - we'll fight to save the animals, but cut the baby out of the womb, and dump it in the nearest trash can. Of course if we can refer to it as a 'fetus' - that should soothe our conscienc somewhat. I don't understand this thinking at all. If one doesn't want to get pregnant - don't mess around. It's amazing how today's society 'just can't help theirselves.' What a crock! what kind of wimps have we become over the years? The human desire - lusty feelings or whatever one wants to term it, isn't any different now than when I was young. We have the ability to not go from one situation to another, and have Lord knows how many innocent babies, with different fathers. We've become so lazy where this is all concerned. What ever happened to old fashion responsibility? It's not taught any more, because we just would rather let some teacher teach our kids, and we have no idea of what that teacher espouses. Not only that - but this program of starting to teach the full program to little kids in kindergarden? Good grief - how insane! Having said all of that - I can well understand Mrs. Palin's concern on the educational classes, which really just tell the kids that all is well, so just Go For It! And - I blame the biased media and the far left hate mongers with their websites and blogs, perpetrating all kinds of things (most not true), for generating all of the hatred. There shouldn't be any hatred towards either candidate. All they're trying to do is do their best at presenting their case for helping America do better. This intense hatred will be our downfall as a nation, if we're not careful. OK - it's back to my chair over in the corner.

See, that's where I disagree. I'm a woman and I like Hillary and would no no qualms whatsoever if she became President tomorrow because she is intelligent enough and intellectually curious enough to do the job. She's not too rigid and stubborn to take others' advice if need be, something I can't say about Palin just as we certainly can't say about Bush. I think more people are ready for a woman President than are ready for a Palin Presidency! Annie

"but i see palin as only putting woman back not advancing our rights and bringing us up to par to where we should be in this day in-age" Isn't that just a liberal's way of saying "I hate her cause she's pro-life"? Women's rights are about more than abortion you know.

but i see palin as only putting woman back not advancing our rights and bringing us up to par to where we should be in this day in-age

I doubt there was ever anyone more hated than Hillary - until Obama that is. Annie
