One thing, if Sara Palin runs for President she won't need to worry about getting my vote. If she can't handle being a govenor, she sure as heck couldn't handle being a President.
No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

This is the paragraph I was referring to. For a brief few minutes, I could
see her as a human being. In the end, she really is her own worst enemy.
"In Evansville, though, Palin concentrated on the task at hand: an emphatic defense of the anti-abortion cause. But in doing so she made a startling confession about what she thought when she learned she was pregnant at 43 with her youngest child, Trig, who arrived in April 2008, as the world now knows, with Down syndrome. “I had found out that I was pregnant while out of state first,” Palin told the crowd. “While out of state, there just for a fleeting moment, I thought, Nobody knows me here. Nobody would ever know. I thought, Wow, it is easy to think maybe of trying to change the circumstances and no one would know—no one would ever know. Then when my amniocentesis results came back, showing what they called abnormalities—oh, dear God—I knew, I had instantly an understanding, for that fleeting moment, why someone would believe it could seem possible to change those circumstances, just make it all go away, get some normalcy back in life.” It is almost impossible not to be touched by the rawness of her confession, even if it is precisely this choice that Palin believes no other woman should ever have, not even in the case of rape or incest. "
Ive never seen such misogyny from women before, this truely is a first for me.

111 pages - that's the length of this thread. It was started by Richard, March 19, 2008!!
I went back and read it from the very beginning. Takes awhile, but it's well worth the time.
Richard, have you thought about turning this into a book

Get on with her life and please, stop talking to the media.
This from one of her latest interviews.........
" Sarah Palin and her defenders have cited numerous ethics complaints against the Alaska governor as a practical reason for her resignation. Fighting the claims, Palin told the Anchorage Daily News Monday, was immobilizing her: "I'm not going to let Alaskans go through a year of stymied, paralyzed administration and not getting anything done."
Naturally, skeptical observers have wondered how Palin would handle being president if some ethics complaints are enough to make her unable to run a state. Palin's answer: if she was president, the Department of Law would protect her.
Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House the "department of law" would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.
"I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.
There is no Department of Law. "
It's not 'my' thread.
The thing that makes me kinda smile about the whole thing is that it has been pretty civil for the most part.
When I read some of the other stuff that shows up on 'political' websites I realize that we are in real trouble as a country. There are people in the media, and others that pass themselves off a media people that I wish would drop off the planet.
But to have this thread going for so long is a real tribute to everyone that has posted and read it.
----------------------------------------
I found out a long, long time ago that anyone who gets angry and cannot laugh before, during or after a political conversation, should not be talking politics.
People have turned it into a reason to dislike another person, all because they have a differing opinion.
So what?
You voted for X, I voted for Y.
I have problems with how my guy lost, Show some class about your winner.
I'll get behind the 'champion', but don't expect me to buy the t-shirt.
I don't take my political views to heart, or anyone else's either.
Politics, nor politicians hold my best interest in mind. I get on the band wagon when I see something I like and let it go afterwards. The people who are injured after a political conversations are the Trekkies of politics!
They refuse to see the reality of politics-the reality is that it's all lies!
Anyway, Trekkies are alot smarter. They save the uniforms and costumes for special occasions, not everday use.

As they say, everyone has opinions and rear ends, right?
You just got to keep them clean and they won't smell.
At worst that insulting at best its enjoying the degradation of others.
Stop watching, stop reading, and stop commenting on it. THe news is after ratings, and they will keep inviting her on as long as she brings ratings.
Alaska has a Department of Law, Mrs Palin was likely referring to the Justice Department for the federal level, she doesnt rely on a full staff of writers and a teleprompter during statements as Gov.
You want painfull, Obama's Q&A about his trip to Russia, the ums and ahs where quite painful to listen to.
Blue.... Let it go. They are neither interested in facts or honest debate. They just want to make themselves feel better by bashing her. Sure, they SAY they feel sad for her and her kids.... But we know, its all good.
If they REALLY did not care for her, they would ignore her. (They being the press and the usual suspects here.) In reality, hardcore "political class" types, some D some R, FEAR her like the plauge. Why else would they invest so much energy in trying to destroy her? Its how they work. They don't argue the facts, because they can't. Instead, they target the person.
Just let it go. Knowing that if it ever came to a real debate on the values and issues... You know, with actual research and facts, rather than a quote from a media article, we can't lose. You know it, I know it, THEY know it.
To the "Progressive" types.... This is not about Sarah Palin. Its about we "flyover country" types knowing our 'place'. Never forget that not only can we win on the debate, we HEAVILY outnumber you. But we are too busy working and living our lives. When it matters, real America will be there.
People are starting to smell the BS the past few Presidents have been dishing out. Heck, these last 2 guys are starting to make me a fan of CLINTON. LOL.

I don't recall rules saying we must debate.
I enjoy reading others' opinions and don't need to make them wrong or try to correct them OR try make them change their minds. I let them be. My opinions may differ from others - and they will - I accept that. You are entitled to yours as well.
To each his own.
