Re: Sarah Palin - Interesting Perspective
 I challenge anyone that reads the Eve Ensler article to research and distinguish fact from fiction. This article if full of OBVIOUSE overstatments, and an actually truly misquote, even, of Sarah Palin.  And really, FORTY caribu at a clip? Does anyone actually believe that? Are we all so not able to think for ourselves, that we swallow anyting any one else writes? Just check your facts people, check your facts. And, I am voting McCain/Palin!

for a woman just because she is a woman is basically the same thing. I
would be selling out all of my beliefs just for a superficial
characteristic that I happen to share with half of the population,
including this person.

I believe that the feminsts fought for us women to be free to use our minds and be judged on more than our gender.
And I think that after nearly 30 years of voting that there hasn't been a MALE yet who has done a thing for me as a woman. I don't have health care, I don't have any more rights now than I did 30 years ago and I sure don't have more respect from the men in office.

Obama has the knocked the opportunities that have been afforded to him by the members of his own his race. He has said that he can't even remember the great leaders like MLK and RFK and then turns around and evokes their names when needed. He doesn't remember them becuase he wasn't in this country during that time. Yet he is able to run as an African American because of the work that they did on his behalf. He says it's time for change but cannot respect the changes that have already been made before him. That is the true meaning of disgrace.

By the same token Sarah Palin, as a woman, took on one of the most powerful corrupt Republican machines led by Sen Ted Stephens to run against the Governor in Alaska. I don't know how much you know about Ted Stevens but I've had the unfortunate displeasure of going against him myself and he is not someone you want to cross more than once. But Sarah Palin did. With little money and no backing she took on his power and his backing of the other candidate and fought hard and WON. If you've never been in politics you have no idea how hard that is to do. You have no idea what kind of mudslinging and dirty tricks that involves, what kind of personal sacrifices you have to make. But Sarah Palin did it. She did it and she beat Ted Stevens with all of his money, corruption and dirty politics! I don't know if that is why he is now being brought up on corruption charges or not but if it is then she is my hero!

I have looked at the issues and I have looked at what is between her legs and I have decided that the women of this country need to act more like MEN and start sticking together instead of tearing each other down over their reproductive rights. Regardless over who is President Roe v Wade isn't going to change. Men use it to scare us and it works every single time. Play on our emotions and we crumble.

Nope, I'm sticking with a woman who can take on a political power machine and bring it to its knees. It's what is needed in Washington.

Besides, Sarah Palin isn't running for President and Joseph Biden is a Washington insider who can't tie his own shoes without plagarizing the instructions from someone else.

I should have said it isnt LIKELY that Obama will have a heart attack. that's what I meant. Obviously anything can happen, he could break his leg getting out of his car and bleed to death. (almost happened recently to a good friend of mine) I am just saying that being scared of Palin taking office if something happens to McCain is all that much more reason for me to not vote for him.


Amen,, we think things are bad now...her in the white house!!! OUCH!!

Re: Sarah Palin - Interesting Perspective
i really wanted to vote for hilary but since she's out i personally think obama is the lesser of 2 evils.  god forbid if something should happen i think his running mate could run the country better than pahlin.  I'm just not sure that I like her and something about McCain is shifty.

personally i think that there has been too much dirt throwing and both parties should grow up and just talk about the issues at hand and don't worry about the other party.  I think if they concentrated on making a strong case of why they would make the best president and compiles the portfolio to back it up that the best man will prevail.  I get so tired of all the mud-slinging though.  it's not just for presidency either, it seems like 9 out of 10 commercials are negative remarks about someone or another.  i think to attack someone else's character like that constantly is petty and frankly is a self esteem issue.  ( i can't make myself look better so i'll drag the other candidate through the mud.)  of course that is JMO lol.

I think dancing with the stars this week spoofed the presidential commercials pretty good, i got a chuckle out of that lol.
Wendy.....love my puppies!!!!!
I made the President's list..wahooo!!!!
