If Sarah were a flaming liberal who approved of abortion, gay marriage, and redistribution of wealth the left would absolutely adore her
Too Bad so many let ideology seep back through what She was and is trying to do for America.
If Sarah were liberal, she would be revered by the liberals and women’s groups as a combination of Joan of Arc, Annie Oakley, and Rosie the Riveter.
Here we have a woman, who rose in politics on her own, not due to who her husband was. She took on corruption in her own party. She challenged an incumbent governor of her own party to be elected governor. She delivered a budget surplus to her state. She reached a pinnacle in politics by becoming only the 2nd woman nominated for vice-president by a major political party. She truly has it all, as she has risen to the peak of her chosen profession, and has a wonderful marriage and family life. She is a woman who has it all, according to the women’s groups aspirations for women; that women don’t have to choose between career and family.
If a liberal woman politician had a life story such as Sarah, she would be perceived very differently by the liberals who set the criteria for judgement. Instead, she was denigrated for not being able to explain the Bush doctrine to Charlie Gibson, for not being able to tell Katic Couric what newspapers and magazines she reads, and poor word choice about how close Alaska is to Russia.
For the record, the closest part of Alaska to Russia is two miles across the Bering Strait. Big Diomede Island is Russian, and Little Diomede Island is Alaskan territory. These two islands are only two miles apart in the Bering Strait. For not being able to articulate this fact to the satisfaction of the liberals, liberals who didn’t even know that fact in the first place, she was labeled as ignorant of the geography of her own state. Unbelievable.
If she were exactly the same person she is, except pro-abortion, she'd be a left's favorite Republican.
