1. She reminds me of my mother.
2. She kind of reminds me of my mother-in-law.
3. She reminds me of myself, actually.
4. She’s ballsy. She stood up to all the mean girls who trashed her and the perverts who made pornography of her and the media who mocked her. She did it with grace, complete sentences (unlike our current resident moron) and with HUMOR and a big wide smile on her face and 4 kids in tow.
5. She refuses to stay in the box society made for her. In fact, she pretends there is no box.
6. She believes in God and she believes God has a plan for HER. So do I.
7. Seriously, she breast fed her baby in the limo and green rooms before those speeches. Let me repeat - she breast fed her baby on the campaign trail. That’s cool. That’s freaking amazing.
8. She realized kids are portable and brought them with her to campaign instead of refusing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pursue her dreams “because she had kids.”
9. She’s ambitious.
10. She’s beautiful AND smart. Yes, world, women can be pretty AND smart. We don’t have to pick one.
In fact, the ONLY thing I don’t like about Sarah Palin is her politics this year.
In 8 years she’ll be more mature and more experienced and qualified-enough if she can keep her nose clean in Alaska.
Barack Obama is the LAST man I will vote for before a woman serves as President of the United States.
So some Democratic women better step up to the plate and groom themselves for a solid run in 8 years. Hear that Emily’s List and The White House Project? It’s Sarah Palin if you can’t train a female superstar to step up to the plate and win in 8 years. I’ll even send you money and help you groom her, but I’m not voting for another pro-woman MAN.
I WILL vote for Sarah Palin in spite of her politics to break the glass ceiling in 2016.
In fact, the way I figure it - if Barack Obama does what he says he’s going to do, then I will be satisfied with my equal pay, universal healthcare, family medical leave insurance, and solid standing in the Supreme Court, and will have healed the economy by using cash to pay as we go.
The Republican Party will have reinvented themselves and brought in some young blood like Sarah Palin and kicked out the crazies who are against birth control or I’ll be menopausal so it won’t be that important to me.
Obama will have healed the racial divide and sexism will be the final social frontier (Ok there will still be homophobia, but it too will be less pronounced in 8 years) and I’m sorry people, I don’t give a crap how much you personally hate her, feel offended by her, feel jealous of her, feel defensive by her outward morality - I NEED to see a woman in the highest office of that land.
More importantly MEN need to see it so we can earn their damned respect. My children need to see it, both my son and my daughter.
If that woman is Sarah Palin, well, she’ll be highly entertaining to watch for 8 years. We might learn a few useful tricks from her about how to have it all. I’ll be watching her.
I’m a man, and I like Sarah Palin, she is what made me feel good about voting for McCain.
Another interesting take on Sarah.
Hopefully, we won’t have to wait until 2016, 2012 sounds better.
> I dislike race and gender politics, no matter who benefits from it.
I think it’s time to have a DOG in the Oval Office. My German Shepherd, f’rinstance. She is at least as qualified as the current President-in-Waiting. She has excellent manners — tho’ she does chew with her mouth open, at least her teeth are sparkling clean and razor sharp. She’s always a GOODDOG, she’s photogenic, and she has sound fiscal policies (she has never borrowed a cent in her life, neither does she overspend). On foreign policy, she is quite clear: “WOOF! WOOF!” And on the WOT and Osama bin Laden she is unequivocal: “Grrrrrrrr..!”
As an added bonus, she could dispense with the Secret Service escort: nobody in their right mind would meddle with her.
Hmm, that could all be summed up just by saying that she is a ‘real woman’
She reminds me of Sarah Connor.
“John McCain’s V. P. pick is Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska!”
.........................................
“Oh, my God,” came the involuntary cry of the ordinarily humanistic, intellectual atheists of the Democratic Party.
The Progressive Democrats’ worst nightmare had arrived and the inevitable order went out, “We must destroy her!”
As a tribute to Governor Palin, she has, after weathering this blisteringly malicious campaign, earned the right to eventually sit in the Oval Office and behind a desk known as The Intrepid … and her family, certainly as beleaguered a target as Governor Palin has been, would henceforth be known as The Most Fearless of First Families!
It’s time to prepare for 2012
The best thing about Sarah is that she will win in 2012.
Be there.
Except for #6 there’s hardly a hint her of her ideas, values, and principles. I’d rather focus much more attention on those and note that her (mostly) conservative ideas come in an exciting package. I’m a strong admirer of Governor Palin but she has a lot she needs to do in the next few months and years to build upon her opportunity for a national role:
1) salvage Alaska’s budget and economy in the face of plunging oil prices which will be killing their surplus.
2) devote herself to sucessful governance there b/c her national prospects will evaporate if she does not continue to build a strong track record as Governor.
3) develop and/or express more ideas in speeches and writings - she has Reagan/Thatcher potential, I believe, but she has a long way to go in terms of actually expressing a wide range of conservative principles and practices.
She is the first proud articulate Conservative in 30 yrs.
Pray for W, Palin and Our Troops
NO DOGS!
