Were you asked 3 or 4 times for the information? Did you keep talking as if you had already answered the question before some one said, 'Hey what's the answer?' before you admitted you had to look up the details? That's something a teenager would do because he didn't want to tell his parent's he's going to an unsupervised by adult party. Talk and talk without saying anything until mom and dad pin him down for an answer.

well I am glad you don't believe me, as I didn't submit anything for your approval. I didn't make any pre-election that the black people I work with are voting for obama because he's black. the only black guy I worked with didn't vote for obama. he wrote in a candidate. I will also say that the majority of black people voted for him because he was a democrat. I would also say that when people found out that there was a mixed candidate running, they were more excited. I know lots of black people, and I don't believe I have ever met a black liberal. lots of black democrats, but not really black liberals.

This is right up there with all the pre-election claims that "The Black people I work with say they are voting Obama because he is black".

Oh really? I am sure that just like those Blacks, these Liberal women just go around saying self-incriminating things.

You put a thread up.

That's an invitation.

You are making things up.

Deal.

I am constantly surrounded by liberal women, and their guard is down around me if anyone, because I dislike Palin as well, yet not a single one attacked her looks. Not one.

Now, I am moving on, because your thread and the line of "reasoning" you are adhering to is ridiculous, divisive, and frankly, not worth another moment of my time.

You are right. As a woman, I feel badly about all of the vicious attacks on S Palen, by other women. I am not a great fan, but I like her fine, and think she is as qualified as many others, to run for public office. Most conservative women like her. and maybe some Liberal ones. I think the main reason liberal women dislike her, is the "abortion" issue, and the fact that she has managed to accomplish what they have not, despite that they consider her a piece of ignorant,"white trash". They also hate the fact that she is a Christian, who practices her beliefs. She manages to do everything--run a home, be a Mother, has a good looking husband, runs a State, ran for VP, and to top it all--is an attractive lady--things that most women don't have--all in one package. I say-Good for her.

It's the Palinites that would have you think that it was her "good looks" that infuriates liberal women, but it's not. She's not ugly, but her politics sure are.
I have never read, or heard that she uses "witch doctors." She just attends a church with an ordinary Minister. like Obama did with the Rev. Wright. Most Ministers are similar, no matter what the religion--just like most politicians are alike.

Why as a woman do you feel badly? Why not as a person? I don't believe Palin is not now and not then prepared to be a VP because she is a woman. Palin is not qualified for the position of VP because of her lack of experience, lack of knowledge, lack of education and because I don't believe in her politics. Were she a man with the same lack of qualifications and political beliefs, I would feel the same about her. Were she a man who presented himself in interview the same way she has in ALL of her interviews, I would consider him the joke that I consider her.

This 'I'm a woman and that's why....' is bull scat and demeaning to women.

You initiated this line of discussion. You imply that you have little use for females while, at the same time, claiming
to have them all figured out. Very contradictory. Why is that?
And please, carry on.

I'll miss you. you so frequently make sane rational points. come back again! I am sure that if a woman was jealous of her looks, they would come out and tell you that was the reason. you've got to read between the meows. some women, not all, are catty like that. men do it too. I just find that most liberal women are much more angry and bitter. not 100% though because I know some great liberal women as well.

I agree with the majority of this assessment. I think jealousy played a large part in the whole thing. I can understand the disliking her over the abortion issue, but there are many politicians who are against abortion that don't see the kind of hatred that she has.
