You have to admit, if you had arms like hers, wouldn't you be going sleeveless as much as possible?

...for no apparent reason.  xD

I think you're mixing two points here: Palin the woman and Palin the politician.  It's incredibly unfair to mix the two because somebody horribly unfit to rule anything but her own home like Palin could potentially earn undeserved sympathy towards her political persona just because she's a woman.  That's dangerous logical fallacy that I hope NOBODY falls into.  Palin is a horrible politician.  How she is as a woman, how she used her wits (snort) and contacts to reach where she's at is another story (mainly because I don't think it has much to do with her political cunning, if any).  

So.... 

Why I Hate Palin. 

SHE THINKS ALOUD TOO MUCH.  For instance, I'm sure we've all wondered in our youths whether Africa was a country or not.  However, past college, you're expected to know that it is NOT a country.  The fact that she's admitted in public that she thought it was a country is abhorrent to me, especially when one of the areas that salvaged the GOP in the foreign affairs arena was Bush's awesome Africa policy.  Sure, it was all about abstinence and AIDS prevention w/o condoms, but the continent's seen a surge of foreign aid, which was prompted by Bush's lead.  So to see Palin screw her own party in this regard was like... "Uhhhh... do you have any braincells in your head?"

SHE HATES WOMEN.  Well, progressive, independent, free-thinking women who unlike her don't identify their worth in relation to a man.  In other words, to her, a "worthy woman" is one who is either a mother, a wife or a sister.  I've never heard Palin say anything positive about women's role in this changing society, and quite frankly, I have a feeling she secretly hates the architects of the Women's Rights Movement for showing us that we don't have to be barefoot and pregnant to find our place in society.

KATIE COURIC.  I watched it.  America watched it.  THE WORLD WATCHED IT, TOO?  DURN IT!!!!  Honestly, I've never felt uncomfortable watching a Couric interview, but after that one, I wanted to bang my head into my floorboards enough times until I created a crevice large enough to fit my fat head inside and just stay there until the elections were over.  If I have to explain why her "I-am-an-expert-in-foreign-politics-because-I-can-see-Russia-from-my-house" comment was absolutely, jaw-dropping RIDICULOUS, then... stop reading, this will go over your head.

Also, she doesn't know anything about job creation and this nation's health care woes because if she did, she would not even IMAGINE how the two are interrelated (well, perhaps after a riveting game of beer pong).  Do you want someone who doesn't know the first thing about our mortgage crisis in charge of our entire economy?  Man or woman, adult or child, US-born or naturalized, ETC., if you don't know the answer as to why so many people blame Greenspan for our "recessionary-pressured economy," then DON'T EVEN DREAM OF THE OVAL OFFICE, BUDDY!  Pick up a "modern econ for dummies," instead.  Someone like Palin as our #2 or #1 (GAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!) makes me crap my pants (the kind that twists your insides and makes you wish you hadn't ignored the expiration date on that delicious yogurt in the fridge).  

I'm all for my sisters, so I don't think it's fair at all to say that just because we hate Palin the Politician we're automatically hating on all women.  Note I didn't mention anything about the other ladies who were immortalized in those comics.  But I pick on Palin because 1) she has a real shot at the presidency and 2) she's horrible, horrible, horrible. 

I hope that explains my anti-Palinism a little better.  :D 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I'm sorry but Palin is  a moron,(if i sat here citing evidence we'd be here all day) and is setting the womens’ movement back YEARS. Ladies before us fought tooth and nail so this charismatic moron can have a political career, and we're all supposed to be "O GOODY! it has a vagina! I must love this person!"

Admiring powerful women is all well and good, but the fact that she further perpetuates the stereotype that "Teehee, i get by on my looks and no substance!” is NOT helping. The fact the women can hardly form a coherent sentence- i mean did you WATCH her resignation speech?- The basic message taken was " IM NOT A QUITTER! WE'RE DOING SO WELL MY ADMINISTRATION!! -BTW I QUIT!"

My gaydar isn’t rumbling AT ALL with this women. I live in a very conservative blue state, that 90% of straight married women with children are VERY much like Sarah Palin.  Guns,  jesus, and making fruit cups for the Hockey team. Nothing gay about it- its middle america values.

Your suggestion that 'all women should just vote blindly' is kind of frightening.  I know plenty of Hillary supporters who liked her simply because she is a women. But i mean, like her or hate her- Hillary has a bit more of a natural public speaking persona-where as Palin comes off like a train wreck.

And to infer that Palin is the same as Obama, - I mean, sure - Obama has done jack shit for the 'cause' . But firstly, the country has bigger problems at the moment, and secondly, at the very  least,  the man  is well spoken and can discuss ideas openly. Imagine the foreign relations nightmare that would unfold with Palin in office.  The entire world thought America was nothing but a redneck inbred food trough of stupid during the Bush jr administration, and frankly,-and this thought is truly disturbing- i think Bush jr. was a better public speaker then Palin. 

I can admit, the women has spirit, but spirit with no substance is just disappointing. I think we deserve better.

get to it!  xD 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
