Palin gets to point and wag her finger and make attacks but expects to be exempted from them.

Palin strikes me as the type of woman who will point fingers at and yell at a man and say whatever she feels like because she knows as a woman a man should not hit her and she uses being a woman as shield against well deserved attacks.

Is she going to do that to Biden too on her debates? Lean over the podium and point fingers at Biden?

If Biden comes on too strong they will call him sexist and arrogant.

Yet Palin can sit comfortably in a press free bubble and wag her finger in contempt reciting her worn out speech she recited at the convention.

She gets a pass because the press reported facts about her?

She is upset because people write bad things about her?

She is a victim?

She acts like she is running for President and McCain is just there to cheer her on.



The more I see her the more she pisses me off, i hate freaking posers even if they are ex beauty queens!

1. And women everywhere with any pride should speak out against it.

2. The lady is a phony. When K.O. showed her saying seven times

that she turned down the bridge to nowhere. In each case, she said the phrase verbatim and used almost exactly the same hand and facial gestures each time. He spiel is contrived from a to z.

3. Biden will go after her on the issues, so she can cry all she wants about mean ol' Joe...

it ain't going to fly.

Just like tonite when her feelings got hurt because Biden spoke out about how if people really cared about children with special needs, they would support stem cell research. :P

4. Palin is in some ways untouchable

The fact she is a woman makes it harder for Obama and Biden to attack her. The only way to get to her is on issues.

The bridge to nowhere is not an issue. People don't care about it. Everyone knows politicians try to bring pork to their district/state. The fact that Palin originally supported the bridge, then rejected it, is not a major concern to people.

Her family and its dysfunctionality is not an issue.

There are a few major issues though regarding her. Her statement that the Iraq war is God's will (I'm paraphrasing) is a major issue imo. Here is someone who may be president stating in effect decisions about war have a religious component. I'm willing to bet the country strongly rejects that idea. And would be alarmed by it. And if the people are informed about this, it will change their opinion of Palin. The nice thing about it is we have it on tape. We can play the original for people. It would make for a great attack ad.

Another issue is the book censoring issue. Again, here is something people are strongly opposed to -- government censoring library books, and firing the librarian who would not censor. If people were made aware of this and it were put in the broader context, it's something people would overwhelmingly reject. And again, I think it would change people's opnion of Palin in a major way.

The final issue of course is abortion. If Palin is elected, it will mean the end of choice. Women have to be made aware of this. It should be a major focus in the campaign. I haven't seen much on it so far.

If people hear she wants to censor books, go to war to do God's will, and end choice, I'm convinced the country will reject her. Not the right wing. But everybody else. Right now, she's on a pedestal and hasn't been taken down.
