Palin can be just like "you or me", but that's no credential to be VICE PRESIDENT!!!
You're so wrong. That's precisely what may get them in the Whitehouse...AGAIN!!!

Am I missing something or is this THE FIRST TIME EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES THAT A BLACK MAN IS RUNNING FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND. And you wonder why McCain is only getting 3%???
C'mon, it's not rocket science.
The fact that the 15-year-old daughter took one look at the baby and then asked why they weren't told that he was Down's struck me as incredibly odd. When I relayed the story to my Mom, she commented that she thought it was extremely selfish not to prepare your children better, especially since they are older children.
That's not what she asked. Do you read people's post or just go directly to the insult?

Will you stop with the "You're so wrong" bit, you sound like a child. She didn't say the "you're just like me" may not get her in the White House, she's saying it's no REASON to vote her in the White House. Please read people's posts.
Didn't they not tell the kids she was pregnant til late in the pregnancy too? Or am I confused If I'm correct, that would seem odd as well.
How am I insulting???

It's obvious that the majority of blacks are voting for obama...and so they should. He'd be far better for the majority of them as the republicans would. Don't you think?

This strikes me as exceptionally blinkered, a woman can't have a conviction that a foetus is a human life, or at least a potential human life and oppose abortion accordingly.A feminist doesn't attempt to limit the reproductive choices of other women. Period.
Racist a bit? The color of one's skin or their sexual orientation is not a deciding factor. Meaning, just cause someone is black, he must support Obama, or because someone is a woman, she must support Palin. This is the kind of stupidity we are dealing with
Thank you
In her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, Palin said, "We are expected to govern with integrity and goodwill and clear convictions and a servant's heart. And I pledge to all Americans that I will carry myself in this spirit as vice president of the United States."
The governor's actions, Libenson says, prove otherwise.
In that same speech, Palin told Americans she will be an advocate for children with special needs. "In fact," Libenson says, "just this summer she cut funding for Alaska's Special Olympics."
Libenson cites the governor's line-item veto trimming the Special Olympics budget by $275,000. Palin also slashed funding for statewide independent living centers and transition housing for homeless young adults, Libenson says.
Libenson points out that in a state with one of the highest substance abuse rates in the country, Palin squelched funding — some $325,000 — for a substance abuse education and prevention program aimed at young people. And that she also pared the state's financial support of a Fairbanks community food bank, a drop-out-prevention program and an addiction rehabilitation facility.
C'mon, Obama is going to clean up on the black vote. Partly by default, because he's a Democrat. And yes, partly because he's a black man. It's not racist or stupid to conclude that.

I feel that you made just made Diamonds point, right wing and conservative women, much like black conservatives get labelled as traitors to their group.
I just don't believe that a feminist can.
and conservative feminists disagree with you.

I never said that a woman can't. Many women do. I just don't believe that a feminist can.
Fascist writer Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values, expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that "some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow flies."
It might be worth asking Governor Palin for a tally of the other favorites from her reading list.
I think that the concept of equal rights and universal suffrage are compatible with opposing abortion rights. I really don't see how feminist necessitates support for abortion rights.I never said that a woman can't. Many women do. I just don't believe that a feminist can.
and conservative feminists disagree with you.

I do think there's been too much mean-spiritedness about Palin coming from many camps
visit our injured soldiers in Germany.
It is for no more politics as usual and somebody’s big, fat resume maybe that shows decades and decades in that Washington establishment
