Well, I’ve read some more of donna’s comments, and I must say she makes some relevant, even if disturbing to our campaign, points!
I was gleeful that McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate, mostly because she’s such a kick-ass and refreshing and real Reagan-esque conservative, and partly because by running Sarah as Veep, we are BEATING THE LIBERALS AT THEIR OWN SICK, AFFIRMATIVE-ACTION “DIVERSITY” GAME.
How can we counter the evils of feminism unless we promote our own female champion, a Trojan Mare, if you will?
Gov. Palin’s own example shows that we cannot beat the leftist feminazis with male candidates/campaigns/cajones: Every prominent male that has opposed her, from EITHER party in Alaska, and on the national stage (including Charlie Gibson and Joe Biden) has LOST, big time. Gibson’s career may never recover, and Biden is even more of a national joke than ever. It was Dukakis that sunk Ferraro, not Quayle, nor Bush Sr.
The point is that it’s NEVER a fair fight when a male is pitted against a female—we boys are trained from bitrth that hitting girls is taboo, and so despite our advantage in strength and size, girls have the double-whammy of societal protection along with expertise in subterfuge developed early on when both their cerebral hemispheres co-ordinated, as ours were rather bifurcated.
The conservative movement, paradoxically, needs a neo-feminist (or, you come up with a better term) like Sarah, to make it a fair catfight. Males just aren’t allowed to beat females on our own turf anymore! I disagree with the whole arrangement, but it is what it is for now. I could raise holy hell at my workplace on a daily basis when they say that discrimination based on race, gender, etc., etc., is forbidden, even as they in the same breath enforce mandatory discrimination against white males, but hey—I need the job, and must find other ways to further the revolution than direct confrontation (I’ve tried that, with mostly bad results).
Sarah’s nomination was our answer to Hussein’s missed opportunity in failing to nominate Hillary, and Sarah is what—if ANYTHING does—will make that failure on Hussein’s part plain on Nov 4th.
I’m willing to live with the obvious moral hazards of having our Veep nominee possibly embody the utmost in GOP hypocrisy and feministic decay of the hearth—I’m willing to risk all that because I see the situation as such: We conservatives must learn to act, ourselves, as a counter-culture, to adopt Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals” too, if we are to fully engage and defeat the truly diabolical Left. Yes we will be scathed; we will not emerge from battle uncorrupted and intact. But as with the internment camps of World War II, after the war is won freedom will ring again; liberties will be restored to even greater degree; conservative principles will reign, because Sarah is truly the anti-Obama.
The campaign is but for a season. If installed as Veep, Sarah’s life will settle down drastically, and her duties will permit nurturing of her family to a much more drastically improved extent than now. donna has to realize this.

Do you believe the Palins' children are neglected and poorly reared, simply by the fact of her holding a political position? That everything, both good and bad, in that family is a reflection of parental abandonment? Do you believe their father is chopped liver and not a significant member of his family?
Or did the use of "possibly" in your sentence back you off that position, held by at least one poster?
