A few more things about her. She was Miss Congeniality and 2nd place

sportcaster in Alaska. She was head of her Fellowship of Christian

playing with a fractured ankle. She is known as a "hockey mom." She
is married to a man that won the Iron Dog snowmobile race (2000 miles)

having beat an incumbant to be Gov. She was President of the Alaska
Mayor's association, when she was Mayor.

As mentioned, Biden matches on this, and she has to debate him, and

You omit that she loses the women's rights vote, the

might even lose Alaska, since her popularity has been dropping like
that of other Republicans in the state.

Image. The Dems need to LOOK united. And the media (and the

Your reasoning is full of holes. If I'm for the elevation I'm going

reforms needed. Think of the word "conservative." The American
Heritage Dictionary defines "conservative" as Favoring traditional
views and values; tending to oppose change. So should I vote for a
movement that favors keeping things as they are or should I vote for a
movement favoring liberalizing the laws that keep women from achieving
their highest rewards? Easy choice.
>If you refuse to vote

Okay. So McCain put Palin on the ticket because she was the most
qualified person for the job. He did not do it for politics--even
though you've already said he did.
>If she is a heartbeat away, as you claim, she is

She is a heartbeat away from being the MOST INEXPERIENCED President in

A woman is not running for the White House.
>If so, you cannot claim to be

Your logic is circular. Look it up.
Um, Delaware isn't considered "remote." Small, maybe. But many, many
corporations are organized in Delaware since they have pretty liberal
laws. Can Alaska say that? I live in Wyoming and we're remote, but
not as remote as Alaska. If you think Delaware is remote, then you
have problems with geography. (And you don't have to cross another
country to drive into Delaware.)
[snip]
Sexist? No. Just anti-beauty queen. Your team picks a beauty queen
because of Obama's popularity.
----------
I think it was more about pandering to the religious right. Palin's
anti-same-sex marriage and anti-choice positions are far more important to
that small-minded group than her qualifications for taking over the
presidency or her views on economic or foreign policy issues.
18 million Democrats voted against Hillary, who was FAR more qualified
than Palin.
And Palin isn't in fact running for the White House, except as backup
for if the old guy dies. Otherwise she is running for the Navel
Observatory (a fitting goal perhaps for a former beauty queen).
Actually not. Her election wouldn't elevate women at all. It would
elevate the concept of tokenism and pandering to women.
>If you refuse to vote for her, you aren't really for elevation of women
Or perhaps you are for the elevation of ALL women rather than
elevation of one woman as a token while shoving down all the other
women in the country.
>but want to use it for party politics.
That is precisely why McCain chose her.
>If she is a heartbeat away, as you claim, she is
>a heartbeat away from a WOMAN BEING PRESIDENT.
She is also a heartbeat away from being an anti-abortion, creationist
lightweight scandal-ridden nonentity being president.
>Again, will you vote against a woman for the White House?
If that is the woman, probably.
>If so, you cannot claim to be the party for elevation of women
I claim to be me, not a party.

No. Just noting that she is qualified for PART of the traditional job
description of a Vice President, as suggested by someone else.
I've also said that she is qualified for the constitutional
description of the office of Vice President.
On the other hand, women aren't fungible (except for those who only
use them as tokens and sex objects), and there are a lot of women who
can look at Palin and say "I *know* Hillary Clinton, and you're no
Hillary Clinton."

Not hardly. They will be running an anti-third-Bush-term campaign
from this point on, and Palin offers only more ammunition. After all,
Bush has a lot token women in his administration who have screwed up
their jobs. Attacking that ideologue who screened out lawyers
applying for the justice department for political reasons, is not
anti-woman, just because the law-breaking perp happens to be an adult
female.
>they were be disqualified from claiming to be the woman's party.
I don't know any party that was claiming to be the woman's party.
I think that the Democrats may have some argument for being the
women's rights party, or the women's equality party, but even that
isn't their primary identity.
The notion of a "liberal media" is as nonsensical as the claim that
the Reagan-Bush-Bush crowd is "conservative." If John McCain had not
been smeared by the Rove-Bush establishment Republicans in 2000, it is
very likely that McCain would have won by a landslide. There would
have been no reason for the Supreme Court to appoint the current
occupant of the White House. The neocons would not have highjacked the
U.S. government, and the U.S. armed forces would not have been misused
for their reckless, irresponsible adventure in Iraq. Clueless
Condoleezza Rice would not have been put in charge of National
Security, and quite possibly the 9-11 attacks might have been
prevented.
The questions that are being raised about Palin's qualifications to be
President are quite laughable, in view of the complete lack of
qualifications of the current occupant.
Obama was a fucking community organizer hahahahahah, and a tool of
the corrupt Chicago political machine.

John #1782
Obama organized a presidential campaign from scratch, turned it into
an army of workers, is overseeing a budget of a half-billion dollars
of campaign contributions, setting down policies while also providing
"the vision thing", managed numerous crises during his campaign, and
then defeated his opponents and brought them together in support of
his candidacy. And he hasn't during this period shown himself to be
the "tool" of anyone.
Wasn't that Hillary's campaign message?
Regardless. I'll leave it up to women to decide if electing a woman
or keeping a woman from excelling is supporting women. Obama appars
to disagree with th e posters on here, since he reprimanded his staff
for their earlier criticism. He obviously figured out the threat he
faces, if he attacks a woman having passed over a woman. But, you
guys go ahead and disagree with your candidate and show your true
sexist colors. I'm not even going to reply any more to this specific
thread, since your words are the best case I can make.

Agreed. But with her lack of experience, she'll be a drag on the
ticket.
Or since you've been made a fool of once again. Bye-bye Kenny-boy.

The only vote she might win is the conservative vote. If she was going
to win all the other folks, she should have been the nominee. She will
NOT win the women's vote or any other block you mentioned save MAYBE
the soccer mom's votes. Stupid is as stupid does.

I believe the Republican ticket is much more appealing
to independents than the Democratic ticket. The Dems
have nominated two far left party loyalists. The Reps
have nominated two people who are not afraid to oppose
their own party when the party position conflicts with their
principles.
McCain has gone back on all the principles he espoused on the Straight
Talk Express. He even made up with the bozos at Bob Young and with the
other fundies. To feel that there has been a sea change in the
Republican Party or its candidates is just untrue - McCain voted with
Bush about 95% of the time. The country should steer clear of McSame.
WB Yeats
Look at McCain's comments about the Christian reich in 2000. Look at
the pandering he's been doing now. Either his principles have changed
(not likely), or he is indeed "afraid to oppose" that nutwing branch
of the party.
And Palin is solidly in the Christian Reich camp.
Already anti-choice organization are cheering her and getting behind McCain.

You mean, of course, pro-illegal abortion. The sign of legal abortion is the
caduceus; the sign of illegal abortion is a bent coat hanger.
I still remember 22-23 year old grandmothers.
I hope you're aren't going to complain when social services taxes go up by 40
or 50 per cent (100%?). You ask for it and win, you pay the bill.
You do seem to think that there /is/ such a thing as a "free lunch".
Unwanted children tend to be part of "the criminal class". You don't mind if
we raise taxes by very significant amounts to build more and bigger jails and
more and stronger police forces, doyounow?
And, then, of course, we're going to need new schools for "Baby Boomer II -
The Movie" participants.

Apparently eight years of Bush wasn't enough for you.
You just can't stop worshipping the torturers and war criminals.
I find it impossible to think of anyone who has supported George Wc Bush for
the last seven years and advocates the election of the damaged mind and the
virgin of experience as honorable.

There are nine jobs in D.C. that are more powerful than Senator or President.

It's worth noting that McCain appears to be mentally ill.
However, the reason - apparently - that so many of the higher ranking Navy
and Marine officers hate / are scared of McCain is because of his temper.
Many, many military and next of kin folks (MIA/POW) also hate McCain's guts
(such as they might be).

Uh, dummie . . .
That would be the Naval Observatory.
The White House would be "just another house" for the crazy McCain who
appears to combine the intelligence of George Wc Bush and the ethics of
Richard "Les" Cheney.
It's going to be "interesting" to see if the Republican party self-destructs.
Conservatives are no longer in charge of it; Irving Kristol lives.

Its so refreshing hear the left defend all women, sneering at the
60-70% who don't hold
the party line with NOW and assuming the 30% or so that do are
representational of the
whole country.
Guess thats why they keep winning them elections or has NOW taught them
to be big boys and
not whine about it for the next 4 years!
But we're "a nation of whiners".
