And when I say “trashing” I do not mean serious disagreements with her statements and policies. I mean the trashing of her appearance, her voice, her marriage, her lifestyle, etc. Some of it was so ugly, it drove some of the more kindhearted off the boards. I stayed.

Yep, you got that right. I literally CRINGE at some of the comments made on Palin (and other candidate)threads. I find the comments crass and classless. But I have been a member of the forum for too long to leave. And I am GLAD you stayed!

After all, we just let the men THINK they run things!

If Palin throws her hat into the ring, I’ll be cringing, too. It’s Saul Alinsky tactics - those of the schoolyard and the atmosphere of the Lord of the Flies.
