She wanted to be THE woman to show that family values mattered, so show off your family. She wanted to be THE woman to show off that abortion was not right by showing off her handicapped baby and her pregnant underage daughter.
You don't get to play that game without the good AND the bad.
Apparently, if your name is Sarah Palin, you think you do.
Of course, if your name is Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin will remind you that you need to stop whining.
Fair or unfair, I think she does herself a disservice to even mention it. You gotta to plow through that. You have to know what you're getting into -- which, I say this with all due respect to Hillary Clinton, and to her experience and to her passion for changing the status quo also -- but when I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism or you know maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think, 'man that doesn't do us any good' -- women in politics, women in general wanting to progress this country, I don't think it bodes well for her, a statement like that. Because, again, fair or unfair, it is there, I think that's reality, and I think it's a given. I think people can just accept that she is going to be under the sharper microscope. So be it. I mean, work harder, prove yourself to an even greater degree that you're capable, that you're going to be the best candidate, and that of course is what she wants us to believe at this point. So it bothers me a little bit hearing her bring that attention to herself on that level.

Fabulous! She sure doesn't practice what she preaches, does she?
Sarah Palin's lawyer threatened to serve a blogger with libel papers
at the kindergarten where he works for writing a post saying the
former Alaska governor was getting divorced.
Gryphen, who writes a blog called "The Immoral Minority," wrote on Saturday that "according to my source Sarah is finished
with Todd and has decided to end their marriage."
Good news. I hope he does. What the left (Democrats) have done to Sarah Palin (worse than what they have done to so many others), shows the depth of their hatred for Republican Conservative women (and Christians), and just how far they are willing to go to discredit them; they will stop at nothing to smear them. Truth has no meaning to them.
I hope these people are dragged into court one by one and forced to pay huge settlements for their slanderous behavior.
Me, too. A story about a divorce is hardly "viscious".
it certainly is when it happens to be a wholly invented lie, intended to smear the target, which sends the PDS crowd cavorting about in shrieking 'family values!!!!' dervishes
keep in mind, the source is one of the initial propagators of the 'trig' conspiracy theory.

And I hope the same thing happens to the birthers.

how does it smear the target? it was an easily discreditable rumor, and it was quickly discredited.
does a bunch of people saying "so much for family values!" for a few hours on the internet hurt palin? if so, how?
but yeah, worth posting over and over again til it gets through some thick skulls:

and if baseless rumors don't bother you, why do i see you spending so much time on the ones concerning obama's birth certificate?
1. those are rumors that actually have an effect on something. those people have the intent of removing obama from the presidency. never mind that some truly unhinged person might get fed up with obama supposedly hiding very important things and try to assassinate him or blow something up. in no way are the obama conspiracy theories comparable in scale to the palin divorce rumors, from how widespread they are to how much of a smear they are.
2. i have a weird proclivity for arguing with wingnuts. what can i say.
3. even if some people still buy the palin divorce rumors, so what? how does it harm her? either she gets divorced or she doesn't, and that's that.
4. what could someone hope to achieve by starting this rumor?
5. i have also denied the rumors about palin's divorce (in the very same thread you posted in). baseless rumors should be denied. if palin had denied the rumors and left it at that, i would have had no criticism for her. but she has to start threatening lawsuits and whining about "the media" based on some blog posts. that's just ridiculous.

Good grief! What the right (Republicans) have doen to Hillary Clinton(worse than what they have done to so many others), show the depth of their hatred for Democratic Liberal women (and Christians), and just how far they are willing to go to discrdit them; they will stop at nothing to smear them. Truth has no meaning to them. There are still people here on CD accusing her of the murder of Vince Foster.
