Palin's Social Views Hurt Ticket
Real Clear Poltics ^ | 9/4/08 | Froma Harrop

Posted on 09/04/2008 8:42:02 AM PDT by steve-b

I had dinner last night with a Republican-leaning independent who was despondent over John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. She had been looking forward to supporting McCain as a fiscal conservative with a deep understanding of foreign relations. But all she could now see was that picture of Palin's pregnant 17-year-old looking defiant and stupid as she held mom's fifth baby.

Many religious conservatives are jubilant. They regard Palin as a swell choice because her high-schooler was going to have the baby. The line sent my friend into shock. This is not a matter of abortion politics, she said, but of managing one's own affairs.

"Don't they have birth control up in Alaska?" she asked....

You know why Free Republic is so slow this morning?

Because you're spamming all the threads? ;-)

Learn about the Page Down key, dude. I’m not posting pictures, so these posts don’t take up a lot of bandwidth like the more fancy stuff. Save your indignation for them. In fact, since those pictures take up about 2 orders of magnitude more bandwidth, you should have a corresponding amount of indignation for them. But you won’t do that, because you’re lazy. Until then, I’m reaching those millions of new freepers with a cool song, and you, lazy bones, can learn about the Page Down key.

***Tell that to my computer when it’s bogged down with pictures over a wireless internet connection. When I go to sites that are text-only it’s much faster.

Page down key is yer friend for now.

I think there is a segment of the liberal-leaning female population who just hate children and those who bear them.

I can’t have my own kids, but have adopted 2 and am waiting for the 3rd. I was asked by one perplexed woman why I adopted when, if I felt the need to love something, I could just get a dog. Go figure.

“This has nothing to do with Romney”

If the poster of this article was a supporter of Romney then it certainly does have something to do with it....
He’s posting article after article critical of Palin...

Alexander Hamilton was his mother's third child, born when she was around 25 years old.

(She died in 1769, aged around 40, and Hamilton was 14 at the time.)

He was, however, illegitimate (as was his older brother).

Well I confirmed it...Froma is single, just as I thought. Like most feminists, she is probably bitter due to all of that pent up frustration from not getting any.

At least I have religion and guns...

This thought came to me the other day in reading about the abortion issue. The WOMB is the only part of a woman's body that has no function unless there is another human inhabiting it. Therefore, it is NOT a part of her body that a woman can exercise complete control over. The Womb belongs to the Baby who lives in it, not to the woman/mother-to-be who is carrying the womb with the baby in it.

Maybe scientists and doctors should work on an invention that will copy what the womb does so that these "wymn" who wish for abortions can have their entire WOMB removed and the womb can be placed in this invention and allow the BABY inside, to grow and then be adopted. THEN the "wymn" don't have to worry about Abortion because they no longer have the WOMB, which WAS NOT THEIRS TO DESTROY in the first place.

OR
"Wymn" who are pro-abortion should just have their uterus removed when they turn from "women" to "wymn" and then go about their lives without trying to force their opinions on others.

Won't ever happen, I know. Not too much science, but lately medicine seems bent on destroying life -- elderly, sick, if they need body parts, unborn -- instead of "doing no harm" to life.

This is maybe the third or fourth time today on the net that I have seen - word for word - this same “opinion” about Palin, under different by-lines (different “authors”) on different venues.

I think the Dims have planted some trolls, even on some “conservative” venues, and now they are executing the line of march on Palin - claim to be speaking with or speaking for “Independents” or “Moderates” of either party, in attempt to frame their view as the view of “Independents” and “Moderates”.

A combo of wishful thinking and propaganda. ...doomed to failure.

Sarah Palin (VP: '08 - ' 12; President: '12 - '20)

Get used to it.
