I love her!
If it wasn't for hatred of Bush, she would be celebrated, rather than demeaned unfairly.
You would think feminist groups would be honoring her. She is a Republican in a feminist mold. How often do you see that?
But, alas, feminist groups are not really groups for all women apparently, but only liberal single-issue women, namely the right to choose.
Here is a woman that did not seek office originally, but was thrust into it really, and yet performed so well, each time she has moved up, that now, as Governor, she is the most popular governor in America. Quite clearly her constituents (The Entire State of Alaska) are very pleased with her job performance.
Do you think you can be a half-wit and govern an entire state?
Ooops... George Bush just came into my mind, so don't answer that! LOL
Correction...
Do you think you can be a half-wit as Governor, and be the MOST POPULAR GOVERNOR IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY?????
Shouldn't we Judge people on reality, not emotional bias?
But hatred of Bush has made blinded lefties trash one of the few truly honest and decent politicians we have, and an American Hero... John McCain and now, such an advancement for the Republicans, having a strong and capable woman who does it all, be a VP nominee, and they trash her.
Clearly the woman is very smart and confident and capable or she would not be where she is today. She was not born with daddy's oil money behind her. She rose up the ranks the hard way, and has earned every bit of it.
She's being judged UNFAIRLY, basically because two liberal interviewers managed to unnerve her. She stumbled. Now she is an idiot?
Get real.
She doesn't look like an idiot on the debates or on the stump, or going back through tapes of interviews and debates from several years ago.
What has happened, is that she is a normal mom first. She wasn't born a politician. She has done a great job in each position she has held, and likely, she is used to being more appreciated than hated. This is new for her. If it wasn't for the hatred of Bush, no one would have treated her as harshly as they do. Suggesting that her husband must have incest with the daughters since he is a stay at home dad, and in a remote place like Alaska. That skit is supposed to be humor. But how would she feel as a wife and mother, to hear people suggest things like that, and on a national stage! It's humiliating and embarrassing, and out of bounds, but hatred of Bush has made liberals like animals. There are no rules of decency for them any longer. It's pretty disgusting. Look what they did to Hillary. I made a joke awhile back that they were starting to eat their own, and it happened.
Answering one wrong extreme with another is NOT good change.
It's stupidity born of desperation.
