Fear that some of you actually look to this woman or Carrie Prejan as strong leaders.
It has nothing to do with them being viewed as leaders. It has to do with women, prominent or not, who hold beliefs that are the opposite of the liberal agenda and the opposite of what women in this country are "supposed" to believe. And apparently that warrants vicious personal attacks of calling someone slutty and saying someone used to be a man. But why have a healthy debate when you can slander someone?
There are extremely intelligent conservatives, these two women are not part of that crowd.
Can you give me some names, then?
Apparently you didn't get the memo - you can't consider yourself a Republican unless you like Sarah Palin - it's the new litmus test. It doesn't matter if she's demonstrated time and again that she's out of her depth when it comes to discussing important issues, or even what media she reads ("all of them" - brilliant!). Party unity trumps all. United we stand!
No....
It has nothing to do with agreeing with her on issues, or even her knowledge of the issues. That can be debated both within and out of the party. That's fine, and I don't see how what you said here has to do with what I thought was being discussed. The idea that I'm getting from Headache and others (and what was the original reason for the thread) is that Palin is some sort of wacko for disliking what Letterman said and deciding to defend herself and her family. The vibe I'm getting in this thread is that she can't do that without being some sort of crazy nut.

Sounds a bit like the current vice-president, no? Hell, even his boss sometimes.
