It is the same in relation to just about every woman in politics, from Pelosi to Hillary, in that a whole bunch of Americans drag them back and forth through the trash.
While you have a point - politicians all want power or they wouldn't be in it - the difference is that Sarah shows no evidence of any competence to balance her ambition. All she's got is a bit of delivery of sarcastic lines and a great ability to tell bald faced lies repeatedly.

Therefore he sometimes "snipes" at women, although the women in his life are all strong.
Snipes at women? He has been the perfect gentlemen concerning Palin. His self control is amazing. Well, what diagnosis did this person have for Palin? I know that her fanatic religious beliefs dictate that she is subserviant to Todd, so I suppose when she is allowed to speak up, all of the pent up rage comes spewing out. She had a witch doctor minister cast a spell to rid her town of some woman that they claimed was a witch. Keeping that in mind, I'd say Palin was a bit addled. She has to be cold hearted because all I have ever heard regarding her stances concerning wildlife issues, was to kill them or have them removed from the endangered species list. That's a tad sociopathic. Convincing herself that she has what it takes to be anything close to a VP would also make her delusional.

Excuse me, Ray? Aren't you the one who posted the photchopped picture of the governor that depicted her as being topless next to McCain?

It's Palin's politics that I object to but something tells me that you're still drooling over that photochop.

You want to see snipes at women? It's long since been deleted, but Ray was posting photochops of the governor in the Alaska forum about two weeks ago.

BIDEN has a BIGGER TRAGEDY.
OBAMA, the dictator keeps Biden muzzled!!!!

He has to read a script if he is allowed to talk.

What a useless VP for the campaign.

Yes, she is different alright. It is human for one to notice differences in others, but not all people notice the same things. Whatever one notices on another depends on one's upbringing from childhood. The problem is that one "sees" in others only those things one is familiar with, and as such one can be repelled or attracted by another. It often takes a long time for one to sift through one's emotions before one sees the real thing. Successful TV show producers, movie maker, writers, and speakers have a clear understanding of these issues, and target their audience, viewership, etc., accordingly. The idea is to persuade or to sell an idea, to entertain, etc.

What we see of Palin on the news media is what the news media wants you to see of Palin. The same goes for Obama, McCain, Biden, and the rest, which amounts to smoke and mirrors. The truth is not what you think, and more than likely the opposite.

Did I say "snipes at Palin"?

About the witch doctor: how about Obama's preacher for over 20 years? Isn't it more harmful preaching hate against America than having a witch casting spells to protect you for harm? Such a witch is her business, since she is not casting spells (or whatever) to Americans.

Oh please don't misunderstand, I wasn't meaning to imply or say that you said it at all. I was merely commenting on the analysis given.

yes...that was evidenced by your photochopped picture.

Please stop trying to speak for Alaskans, Ray. You're just another carpetbagger.

What is wrong with a woman being topless? I was born overseas in a place where bear-breasted women wasn't tabu like it's in the US. To me there is nothing more beautiful that the woman's figure. If I were a woman, then the male figure would seem beautiful to me.
