Shame on all you jealous, vindictive, liberal and stupid b1tches who aren't riding on the Sarah Palin bandwagon that's been cruising around on myLot for about six weeks now! Everyone knows you don't like her because no Republican woman has the right to run for V.P. and maybe even be the first female President! No female politician has the right to be anti-choice or a Christian and - here's the kicker - she's HOT, a real knock-out beauty queen to boot! How dare you female myLotters not agree with everyone who thinks she's the greatest thing since ice cream? You've also obviously gotten all your negative information about her from lying liberal blogs who were willing to say or do anything to destroy her or to dig up dirt on her...
Are any of the rest of my fellow women of myLot as sick of this crap as I am? I mean, anyone, male or female, has every right to love her to pieces and to defend her with their own life, but so do we have the right to dislike her without being attacked for it or having our motives questioned!
The liberal media didn't make me not like Palin; I disagree with her on pretty much every issue, but there are other political figures of both genders that I can say the same about that I actually LIKE! If she shared my views on some of the issues I still wouldn't like her, so shoot me! Or, better yet, have Sarah shoot me from a helicopter and claim she thought I was a Baby wolf...lol! I'm not jealous of her because she attractive or because she's been successful. At this particular moment in my life I wouldn't be mad if my financial situation were more like hers than mine, but I can say that about millions of people right now.
Sorry about the rant, guys; now feel free to jump right in and rant along or tell me how wrong I am. I will tell you right up front that I'm not likely to change my mind about her and that I intend to treat anyone who responds here with respect and expect the same in return. If you can't be civil and respectful to me or anyone else who weighs in here, please don't help me increase by earning or points by adding your two cents...lol!
Annie
[question posted by anniepa]responses and comments:
I'm not a woman, but every time I've seen a thread like you describe, I respond that I think the women who don't support Palin disagree with Palin on issues. I don't believe it's not so simple as her party or her religion. [MntlWard]
Someone stole ANNIEPA's account. [revellanotvanella]
I'm with you Annie! I don't like her because I just don't like anything she stands for! So yes I guess you can shoot me too! I don't really like Obama that much either so just shoot me again. But the difference is that I will vote for him because I feel he is the better choice and will maybe make a difference and be able to straighten out some of this major mess that this country is in. I know that it won't be straightened out if it is left in the hands of the Republicans! So don't bother tearing into me for having my opinions and speaking my mind because I don't care what you biased Republicans think. You got us into his mess now I am going to help try to get us the hell out of it by getting your azzs out of the damn White House one way or the other and take Sarah Palin and her big mouth with you! [Opal26]
Goodness Annie I have to say I agree with everything you say on here I really do not know what has happened but you have certainly got your point across and well done Hugs [gabs8513]
I don't like mean-spirited, trash-talking, smug and arrogant people, and she showed that she is exactly all of those with her first speech at the RNC. It certainly wasn't the "liberal" media who told me not to like her. ( never could stand Don Rickles, either. I just don't like people who so thoroughly enjoy slamming home a dig at another person's expense. Jealous? Seriously? Not even envious. I don't want the role that she's chosen and while many people wouldn't see my life as successful at all, I'm content and happy with myself. I don't need to be envious or jealous of another woman's success. My own success is in being a well-rounded, tolerant, educated person who has raised five beautiful, educated, spirited children who step up in defense of others, do not cave in to negativity around them and can think for themselves. Do you know what really tore it for me, though? When she decided that the way to deal with the fact that she was going to get booed at the Flyers game was to use her 8 year old daughter to deflect the boos. How dare anyone boo little Piper, indeed. How dare she complain that people pick on her children and then turn around and use that adorable little girl as a shield? [chameleonsdream]
Jealous, thats giving her a little tooo much credit, dont you think? [revellanotvanella]
Eh? I thought you Americans didn't understand irony? Lol, you've shattered all my illusions Annie, you didn't once say, "NOT." I have followed your Palin series with interest, and while I see your bias against her showing through loud and clear, you are never dishonest about it and you always back up your critique with good factual research. Incidentally, even from over here I share your bias against her for many of the same reasons, and I have to wonder what the reaction would have been had I, as male (and assuming I was qualified to comment in the sort of detail you do, being an alien and all) made all the same points you have? I'd probably still have K****R*** up my fundamental orifice, but perhaps not lol. Lash [grandpa_lash]
LOL Jealous that's the one I like, I mean really wouldn't that mean that I would actually want her life? lmao I'm sorry I have no interest in having her life. I at first thought that the announcement of her as the VP pick was what changed her, you know when the McCain camp sunk their claws into her but after much reading I'm no longer under that notion. I think it's all a crock. Maybe the conservative women on this site are jealous of Michelle and Barack. [ZephyrSun]
LOL. I like your rant. My favorite is that we are jealous. No -- we're scared to have an incurious, clueless vice president. [MoonlightSerenade]
P.S. The personnel board ethics probe against her has been expanded for allegations of cronyism and breaching Wooten's file. I started a new discussion about it. [MoonlightSerenade]
No, I don't like her because she's a fruitcake. She is not helping Mc Cain at all, she is bringing him down. But hey, why should I care. I'm voting for Obama. He will get the job done right and his VP pick isn't a fruitcake. [freefogging]
Hello Annie I am so happy not be on any bandwagon, as I can see it must be quite irritating at times to be shot because of your like or dislike of something or someone. Sarah Palin? Whats the big deal about this broad? I really don't even pay attention to anything anyone says...all I know is the candidates have all become too much like 'movie stars' for my liking. It is sickening. Hugs xoxox [OceanTiara]
I don't think you're jealous or vindictive. A little obsessed perhaps. lol [irishidid]
Why, thank you - I think...lol! Annie [anniepa]
Great discussion Annie. I wish I had a dime for every time I have heard comments of this nature. Women are jealous of Palin... Palin is hot... Who wouldn't want a VP they'd like to... Well you get the picture. If I had a dime for every time I heard one of these superficial comments about Palin, I would be in her financial situation. [Lee_Rites]
I have to say I have posted a few times and feel as you do. I truthfully was excited to hear that a woman was up for VP and then when I started to look into and watch her I was like ahhh no way am I voting for them. I was mystified (almost) on why McCain would pick her. In reality I believe it was to try to get the Clinton votes. Some may so no but this is what I believe. I cant help but think to the times when I was looking up info and would come away horrified and have to think NO WAY and then call someone to say would you believe??!! Yeah I guess Im not the normal woman as you arent as I didnt jump on that bandwagon. [Ithink]
OK, let me see here. You start out this discussion with "Shame on all you jealous, vindictive, left-wing B*itches, and then you end the discussion making a vow to treat everyone with respect? When did you intend to start treating everyone with respect? You can't call people jealous, vindictive left-wing b*tches and then expect these same people to be civil and respectful to you. What planet are you from? Whether you love Sarah Palin or hate her is not the issue. If you expect people to think you are capable of having an intelligent discussion then you should learn how to express yourself without throwing a name-calling temper tantrum. I understand that you feel strongly about this, but there are better ways to get your point across. [loved1]
Gee...I'm sincerely sorry if I offended anyone, including you, loved1. I guess you didn't get or appreciate my satire here. As others have pointed out to my great relief and appreciation I wasn't calling anyone those names but I was commiserating with my "girlfriends" here who have, like me, seen this type of post quite frequently here lately. Hopefully those who know me well and who I care about know I'm capable of having an intelligent discussion and of expressing myself without name-calling tantrums. My title WAS intended to attract attention, but isn't that what we're supposed to do here if we want to get people to read and respond to our discussions? Anyway, I'm glad you responded and I'm glad you said what you thought so I could hopefully clear the air and defend myself. I truly am sorry if I offended you! Annie [anniepa]
Annie! I think you have multiple personality disorder! Your first paragraph was nasty... I was wondering if I wanted to call you, friend. But I read on... If free is our highest priority (and I think it should be) being civil and agreeing to disagree is essential. The test of Freedom is not the majority of the voters ruling. The test is how an individual's freedom respected and how minority groups's freedoms are respected. Just the same, intolerance is the hardest thing to tolerate... Steve P.S. & I sure hope the haters are in the minority this cycle... As nasty as Palin is campaigning I find is scary that her followers stay faithful. [SteveSlaton]
What is BR material? Let's see: Birthright Republican? Nah... Born Right? Basically Rong? No. Wrong does not start with an "R." Bright Roy? I give up! Tell me what is "BR" mean? You better tell me! This could interfere with my sleep. [SteveSlaton]
First of all, Annie, let me say that civility and respect does have to be earned! That doesn't mean, of course, that one doesn't give it on trust, as it were, for a time or two. Ranters don't usually earn respect. One may agree with them, of course, but ranting is to expose oneself a little and most people find that a little embarrassing because it isn't considered adult behaviour. Well, political wrangling is often not very adult either! Look at the way your candidates behave from time to time (and ours, of course ... politics has very few real adults the world over). Hmmm ... Sarah Palin. A hockey-loving Rotweiler ... oops, sorry, a 'pit-bull with lipstick' (isn't that more or less the same thing?) Here in the UK very few people care about her because she's only running for VP. Your Presidential Election is like a rather tired version of Big Brother or a very slack series of episodes involving J.R.Ewing and all that cr*p. We shall breath a sigh of relief (with maybe some cheers), let's be quite frank, when Barack Obama is elected president and we are not faced with the embarrassment of having to confuse our favourite brand of oven chips (fries to you) with a world leader. To the rest of the world, I think, Obama seems more honest and open than the Fries-with-everything man. McCain comes at us with clenched teeth and no apparent concern for anything but the gun-toting, gum-chewing, world-ignoring American Heartland. Obama, on the other hand, took the trouble to visit Europe and (so it is reported) got on well with the heads of State that he met. He, it seems, has more of an idea about what being President of the United States involves than anyone. Besides, he appears to be a Green and a Liberal rather than a Labour man ... and hardly Conservative. (You will have to forgive our designations - we don't have Democrats and Republicans here!) [owlwings]
To be honest I live in the UK and know very little about palin,so many things that have been said about her are a lie,but I dislike her because she admitted that she shot a bear,what kind of hateful heartless b*tch would shoot bears and baby wolves? [3cardmonte]
I'm sick of hearing it, too. All I ever hear about her is that all women should support her. Why should we? I don't support anyone based on their gender. [Bd200789]
So we won't be holding the McCain/Palin victory party at your house, then? lol [beautyqueen26]
No, but can I expect your RSVP for my Obama/Biden celebration? You're certainly invited and welcome to attend! Dress is come as you are and when I'm with my fellow myLotters I'm often in my ratty old but very comfy nightie...lol! Annie [anniepa]
Okay i confess it here once and for all... im f*cking jealous of that b*tch! yess i am!!!! i want to be teamed up with an octuagenarian and to have a teenage pregnant daughter...oh and to look so stiff that my broom compared to her is flexible! come on...she is a horrible human being and not because she is a right-winger or a supposedly succesfull mother *lmao* ... i know many mothers that work...and who managed to have kids who didnt get pregnant at 17...what matters to me is not even career in my life, so honestly i could not care less if she was successful or not...waht i care about is that she is mean, evil, and has scary views on women issues...thats all i care about...and only a dumba$$ like McCain could think that those women who wanted to vote for Hillary would now vote for her lmao seriously how much dumber could he get??? now excuse me but i have to go brood in my jealousy for this marvellous woman LMAO!!! god how pathetic some people get!! how can they say we are jealous of her??? loollo as if she was the only career-mom int he world uh [JoMarch]
Good post! I'm still quite angry at McCain for condescending to women as he did because that's what is was as I see it, I don't care what anyone says. It's been widely reported and really makes sense to me that he wanted to pick either Lieberman or Ridge. Annie [anniepa]
I'm a woman and I don't agree with Palin on much of anything. I am proud to say that I am not going to be driven away from forming any of my own real opinions on the person because of gender. It's not that I don't like her as a person, I don't like her take on any issues. I don't like McCain's take on any issues either. If McCain is elected and something happened to him and she had to take over, she doesn't seem like she would know anything about what she is supposed to. That's just my opinion. Gender doesn't matter and everyone has a right to their own opinions. Just because I am a woman does not mean I should have to support Palin. I don't and my mind is not about to change. It doesn't matter is she is a man or woman my opinion wouldn't change. It's about what I think she could do or how she could do the job and how much I agree or disagree on the issues. [dustinnikki]
I don't blame you. I don't like her either but, you don't see me trying to be pushy about my chosen candidates, on other people. I prefer not to talk politics at all. I am not the type that likes to argue. I get all flustered and start stumbling on my words and whomever I am arguing with takes that as a sign of weekness and takes the opportunity to talk over me and beat me down. I just feel like everyone has a right to their opinions and, I can respect yours as long as you respect mine. The sooner people realize that by screaming at others to try to get them to chose your candidate is only going to drive them further away from your candidate. Mission NOT accomplished. Thanks for this discussion. It is nice to see someone who feels the same way I do about being accused of stupid reasons for whomever I don't like. My reasons are all valid. Not jealousy. [cortjo73]
There is just something about her that rubs me the wrong way. I am glad that a woman is getting her shot, but this particular one frightens me. Does she really believe that being that close to Russia gives her foreign policy experience? I hope that is something that is just a misunderstanding. Also, she and her daughter should take a maternity test to silence everyone once and for all if that baby is really her son and not her grandson. I haven't seen one clip or interview that makes her look even remotely intelligent. [Trace86]
Hey now! I may be a liberal b****,(had to use the asterisks because mylot said I violated their terms so how did you get away with it anniepa? Is it because I'm a newbie or something? lol. Oh, well, getting on with what I was saying. I can be vindictive if given the right motive, but I am definitely denying the jealous part. *grins* I have and always will be a faithful supporter of any strong women who can make a difference in this world. Hilary Clinton, Princess Diana, Mother Teresa, Rosa Parks....the list could go on and on. Unfortunately, Sarah Palin is not a name that comes to mind when we talk about strong women. I was not a McCain supporter before he chose Palin, however, I had to scratch my head and say, "what the hell were you thinking McCain?" when I heard who he had chose as his running mate. I guess he was thinking, "There were a lot of women who would have voted for Hilary if she had gotten the Democratic nomination, so maybe I should find a woman and a good looking one at that." You have to remember, we are talking about a man here. Yes, Palin is a woman and yes, she is nice looking (former beauty queen), however, she has no substance. The woman does not know how to answer any questions directed at her unless she has been grilled with answers beforehand. And if she doesn't get the answer right, she blames the interviewer (Katie Courac)for, I guess, asking a question. I watched a little of the interview and had to stop when she kept talking about how John McCain had made so many changes in government while serving as Senator. When Katie asked for examples, Sarah couldn't come up with one. She finally ended up saying, "I'll look them up and get back to you." How lame can you get?To sum it up, Sarah doesn't have the experience it takes to be Vice-President or God forbid, President. Sarah doesn't use her brains, doesn't know about the issues of the country and tries to make others forget that by pointing fingers at Obama and winking a lot. Sorry, Sarah, the winking may work on the men and some women but not on this one. Plus, she's only been a governor for 20 months and already she's involved and been found guilty by her peers in "Troopergate". I don't know if the woman is guilty or not but she wasted no time whipping up a scandal in government. Again, one has to wonder why John McCain would take on a running mate who was already being investigated? Everyone tries to defend her by saying she's being crucified by the media and her peers because she's running for VP but the issued with her brother in law and the investigation of said issues were going on BEFORE she was nominated. Guess John thought he might as well have someone run with him that knows what it's like to use your position in office to get whatever you want, whether it's getting your ex-brother-in-law fired or money. Isn't politics a dirty business? [xandercordy1]
Initially, I thought that she was awesome...strong woman and it's about time we got a women in the white house. The more she opened her mouth, the more I dissillusioned I became. I don't watch enough news to be swayed by the media. Nope...Sarah swayed my thinking all on her own. I can't think of anything that I like about that lady and nope...not jealous....just don't like her views and ways on everything that I find important. [sid556]
hi annie you did have me going but i do agree with you, I do notlike her because of the things she has said and done, I disagree with her. I will not vote for her and thats that. So I guess I am ranting right along with you. I wou ld not want to take the chance of her ever being in the position'of being put in as president in case Mccain gets in and has that' heart attack he probably will have.So I hope we do not get dissed for our opinions. lol. [Hatley]
Great post, Hatley, and I'm with you about getting dissed for our opinions. It happens all the time and it's just not right. I know everyone isn't going to agree with people like you and me about Palin or any other political issue and that's fine, I respect their views and their right to respectfully express them anytime or anywhere; just do the same for us! Annie [anniepa]
I don't want Sarah Palin to get elected, even if she is a woman because I don't want McCain to get elected. We disagree on every issue I value. That's why I don't like her. I think that's why every person should vote for who they want, not because gender or other superficial matters. [cripfemme]
Personally I like Sarah Palin, she is my kind of gal, However I don't not care for either Obama or McCain as president. If Palin were running for president she would have my vote. As it is I am not voting for either McCain or Obama We need a new party in the white house and in congress. New blood, new people. But well that is probably a pipe dream. Most people are stuck in a one party mode me I am independant vote as I consider each candidate and what they are , stand for. Go Ron Paul!!!! [Celanith]
To put it simply Mcain is old. If anything happens to him mrs mary sunshine will be in charge of our entire country. I am in no way shape or form comfortable with that. I'm sure she has some potential..but she needs more experience if shes going to be that close to power. [MissGia]
Joe Biden is 66, Had 5 student draft deferments before being reclassified for having asthma as a teenager, even though he was 26 at the time. He has had 2 brain aneurysms that kept him out of duty for 7 months. Here is a report of the mistakes he made during the VP debate. He made a lot of mistakes. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,433314,00.html Nana Pelosi is 68, Has a net worth of $19 million, Plus a Vineyard worth between 5-25 million. and a bunch of real estate, Not sure how many houses she owns, don't think anyone has ever asked her. But she is one of the richest members of Congress. Next in line,Robert "Sheets" Byrd, was born in 1917, making him 91 in Nov. He is a former Klansman. And was a recruiter for the Klan for several years after deciding it "wasn't for him", right after someone at his church told him he wasn't going to go very far nationally if he didn't change his tune. Has been a Senator for nearly half a century,The longest running in history and is also the oldest rooster in the barnyard. He opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and The voting Right's Act of 1965. Personally spent 14 hrs in Filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Despite his great leadership and his reputation as the King of Pork, West Virginia remains one of the poorest states in the union. All I can say is, If you guys and ACORN manage to get Obama elected, I wish him the best of health. Now I think I'll head on down to Katie's Restaurant for breakfast and then maybe swing by Home Depot. lol =D [morethanamolehill]
Ooh I like it, a jealous vindictive, liberal b1tch, love it you can keep the stupid I don't want that topping thank you. I mean just because she is a woman is not good enough. I could never approve of someone with so many things wrong with her. Not just that she is a traitor to her own kind, women. I don't care how many states charge for rape kits, a WOMAN who COULD have CHANGED this law endorsed it. That is the worst form of treachery. If she is a beauty queen I do not think much of the Alaskan women, I mean she is so not hot. I mean she looks like a deceptive, manipulative woman. Very 1950's look, the woman who cannot have power for herself so she uses people to gain power through them. Not my sort really. I am certainly not jealous of her, why should I be. Any women who wants to can be a career woman with a family, its not hard, all you need is a career and man to impregnate you. Duh. I find it so strange that people call Obama the anti Christ, God alone knows why, in my view Palin is the anti Christ and if she ever became president the whole world would be in big trouble. I would not even care if America did not impact on the world the way it does. I hate globalization and I rue the day that we became locked into what happens in America instead of our own country. [sharra1]
It's funny annie, I never thought of you being jealous. I could think of a few other adjectives but I will refrain. But after reading your latest of many many rants, HmMMmM, I have to wonder now. First, there is the title, And yes I know sarcasm when I see it. And this raises the bar. Then you mention jealousy, what three times in the rant proper? "she's HOT, a real knock-out beauty queen" "I'm not jealous of her because she attractive or because she's been successful." But this is my favorite, When you "Complain" (I'll be nice) about ... "being attacked...or having our motives questioned!" No one is questioning your motives annie! You've made your motives very clear. You can't stand the sight of her! We get it. You don't agree with anything she says, does or believes. Message received. I don't think anyone here questions that! Maybe you have to fill in the new people. But It's gotten to the point where I can spot one of your rants from the title alone! You're the Picasso of Vitriol. Am I supposed to respect you now? =/ [morethanamolehill]
Why do you waste your time telling us how much you disapprove of Sarah Palin? If you had read my post you wouldn't have to ask that question. [morethanamolehill]
Have you really listened to her? Do you really want to put someone with her limitations in charge of the country? If you do well more power to you. I don't [savypat]
NO I DON'T!! Please read the whole post, I'm NOT a fan of Palin I'm one of those who is tired of being questioned about my reasons for not liking her. Annie [anniepa]
I dislike her. I think she has absolutely no idea what is appropriate behavior for someone seeking the vice presidency and I get the distinct ipression whe is always awaiting the pageant judges question that she has the perfect answer for and which will seal the deal. I'm not at all jealous of her. I'm jealous of Diane Sawyer and it's a whole different emotion than what I feel for Sarah from the Frozen North. My jealousy is tinged with admiration but my disdain is not. I do resent being called jealous but as someone on here has already mentioned being called racist for not supporting Obama is no picnic either. I really recented it when I was supporting Hilary and some on here hinted that I was a racist for that. [irisheyes]
well said Annie...I can't stand her a$$ either LOL [thickchic]
Great post, Annie. I just love you! You said it all here and I agree. I remember very well the day someone here called me an anti-feminist! Palin herself made me not like Palin and nothing else. I personally don't see any beauty in Palin, but then for me, beauty is as beauty does. I don't see her as overly intellingent, either. How much beauty or intelligence does it take to condone and encourage aerial hunting of wolves and bears in winter? And to offer an extra bounty for the left foreleg of each wolf killed? She really strikes me as a hard-hearted person and not the saint that some think she is. I don't like her for her views on gun control. I don't like her for her views on Choice. I don't like her for her stand on foreign policy. I just don't think she is someone I could ever approve of politically...like say, D1ck Cheney or George Bush, or Jesse Helms or hundreds of others sharing her viewpoints politically. Even with all that, I only came to deeply dislike her as a person when she decided she would go out and try to ruin Barack Obama with outright lies and innuendo. I am glad to see that it hasn't worked as well as she and McCain thought it would. Now I find the both of them disgusting. What's to be jealous of? [CherylsPearls]
i am a sarah palin fan but i think everyone has a right to believe like they want to about anyone. [ANTIQUELADY]
She has the right to believe what she does. And I have the right to believe that she is utterly unqualified to be vice president. [onesiobhan]
Leaving politics out of it, you seem to just not like Sarah Palin. Can you tell me who it is about her (or her herself) you don't like. Did you know anything about her before she became John McCain's running mate? [bestboy19]
Annie, There's nothing more dangerous than a female pit bull (notice I did not use the "B" word) protecting her pups, except a bear protecting her cubs. Nah. I ain't got this right. Most women are nurturing and maternal. While it is appropriate to even kill if necessary to protect one's loved ones, it should not be a dominate personality trait. With biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons, are you ready for WWIII? If you are, vote McCain. Hell! He'd probably start it. And if he died without starting WWIII, and Palin became President, I bet she would feel it was her "religious duty" to fulfill Revelations with her interpretation of prophecy, and bring about the Second Coming of Christ. I grew up in that kind of church & tried be an atheist for awhile. These kind of people are out there. Again: scary. Every week there is a scary guy on Christian TV between 5 & 6 p.m. talking about "The Time is Near" interpretation of "news" focusing on Israel. Steve Slaton, Rhymes with Satan. He finishes with a "tan." I finish with a "ton." [SteveSlaton]
You've said it all exactly right as usual. I've nothing constructive to add. I don't understand Sarah Palin. She does nothing to inspire confidence in me. In fact, as I have said repeatedly, she scares me to pieces. What scares me more are the rabid pit bulls that support her. I can't believe they are serious, but I know better. Thanks, Annie. [mcat19]
We know that Obama was the editor of the Harvard Law Review. Does anyone know of anything he ever WROTE while he was there? "If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you." Don Marquis 1878-1937 [morethanamolehill]
No,I am saying that Obama makes you THinK you are thinking, As does liberalism in general...and I didn't expect you to answer the question. I just thought it was an interesting point. [morethanamolehill]
I understand how you feel. I don't like people implying that I'm a bigot just because I don't want Barak Obama to be President. His skin color and/or ethnic background has absolutely nothing to do with why I'm opposed to him. It's his views and policies to which I object. Therefore, I'll allow you to be against Sara Palin for whatever reason if you'll allow me the same courtesy. [6precious102]
Absolutely, you have every right to be for or against whoever you choose and I appreciate you giving the me same courtesy. Thanks for posting. Annie [anniepa]
Tell us how you really feel. I like Palin because of what she stands for, and I'm a white male age 40, conservative, Christian, I'm not a minority and that makes me the enemy big time. I like Palin, she's not a punch puller and says what she thinks, she doesn't try to double speak and thank God I don't have to look at the aging Hellory Clinton anymore. [gitfiddleplayer]
I know just one year and I'll be 41. [gitfiddleplayer]
You know what. I like Sarah.. I voted for her and McCain. She is a great mom, and she believes what I believe about the sanctity of life. I love that she chose to have her child rather than throw him out in the garbage. I like what she has done with her own state and the financial affairs. I see nothing not to like about her... but then we are different people with different opinions. I don't want our country to become a socialist country where everyone expects a handout and have the well off pay for it... that is the biggest reason I am a Republican. [OreoCookie3]
Thanks, Cookie, for a very good and respectful response. I think from what you've written and from all our past interactions that you DO "get it", and that you don't automatically assume that if another woman doesn't like her that means she's jealous or vindictive. It's really just a simple difference of opinion. I'd never for one minute say she's not a good mom and I respect her for choosing to have her child despite knowing of his disability and what lie ahead for her and her family but that doesn't mean I feel I have the right to attack anyone who struggled with that awful choice and came to a different conclusion than she did. I just fee that's not for me to judge. I wouldn't say I want our country to become a socialist country but I would like to see it go back to being a country that cares about the less fortunate as much as the rich and powerful.

Here's how I look at it...I've left comments when people point out stupid things that are seperate from the office and the house when people referred to her family life...and I've left comments when some of the info on here was not fully checked out and people went with one phrase.... But here's how I really look at it. Not any one of these people running are a savior or celebrity. But it is true that us women can be catty and jealous at times. I've seen, done it, and heard it. Online and especially offline. [taface412]
When I was referring to "us women" I also put in their "at times" and it was not just directly towards the Palin topics...I meant at times in general with a variety of things in our society. It is in human nature of women. Yes, some overcomes it, while some live for it. We are critcial people. Men are stratight forward thinkers, while our minds have a mulitude of things going on. ANd I do believe it is part nature and part training (by others) because if you look at little girls playing and little boys playing it is kinda obvious. The girls are more sensitive and critical while the boys don't pay attention to these things as much. This is not something that is necessarily a negative. But we are just a little too critical of our gender at times. And sometimes when some women feel threatened by a more dominant woman we tend to let the criticism fly. [taface412]
The shame should be yours for supporting a woman who wants to take away the right of women to choose what to do with her body! It is a right we fought so hard for in the 70s, along with women's equality! But you're probably 16 years old, and don't understand what we all went through, and here is a woman who wants to take it all away, and set us back 40 years to when women were getting abortions in back alleys with coat hangers, and left to bleed to death! Sara Palin would have us go back to that time. Would you like to take away equal pay for equal work? Or how about the right to be hired at all? Or maybe we should let them take away the woman's right to vote so idiots like you wouldn't try to put an idiot like Palin in the White House! Women were beaten to death for that right! Or didn't you know that either? I hope there are a lot more liberal b---itches out there like me!! [fec139]
Wow...I guess you told me...lol! I also guess you didn't read through either my OP or some of the responses, but don't feel bad, a few others apparently misunderstood me too. I'm sure not 16, I'm 56, and I SURE don't support Sarah Palin at all! My title was meant to be satire and it's actually what I and other "liberal b1tches" like you AND me have been told here on many occasions. I happen to agree with pretty much all you said, I was THERE in the 70s and quite aware of what happened to some women and young girls and believe me I pray we never go back to those days. My mom was born before women had the right to vote and my grandmother actually knew some women who were very active in the Women's Suffrage Movement. Thanks for your response. Even if you did mistakenly call me an idiot! Annie [anniepa]
