I would still defend Palin against the sexism in the media.

What sexism? Her judgment and her priorities were questioned based on what became known about her children, and they questioned her patriotism in light of her husband's treasonous membership with the Alaskan Independence Party, and any lack of apology to the nation for such association.

If anyone is using sexism it's the GOP by promoting her as some GOP Xena Doll who has actually come to dominate the whole show since Wednesday.

Just a reminder: a few months ago, McCain was a dirty word among conservative Republicans. Your own darling Ann Coulter said "McCain nomination would make me a 'Hillary girl"'.

Last night was almost a coronation. How quickly people change their minds! People don't even realize how manipulated they are.

Rush Limbaugh was even more blunt. Commenting on the possibility that Huckabee or McCain getitng the GOP nomination, Rush said ;"it's going to destroy the Republican Party, it's going to change it forever, be the end of it. A lot of people aren't going to vote."

And now, a few months later, McCain is a hero of the GOP? Talk about shallow! Some backbone, let alone character...

FK: I would still defend Palin against the sexism in the media.

What sexism?

Are you kidding, or just not watching the MSM? They have said that she is not the mother of her own son and that Palin covered up that Bristol is the real mother. They have used the term "beauty queen" to make her look like a lightweight. And, they (and you and others here) have asserted that she is unfit to run for high office because it would make her an unfit mother in your personal judgment, a similar charge having NEVER been levied against a man, EVER! .............. I'm just trying to defend this (apparent) good woman as very likely being the best hope against the country going down the toilet under an Obama administration. How long after election day do you think it would take Stevens to retire if Obama won? I'm talking lives here.

Her judgment and her priorities were questioned based on what became known about her children

That's sexism. Name a man for me that you disqualified for office based on the same thing.

...... and they questioned her patriotism in light of her husband's treasonous membership with the Alaskan Independence Party, and any lack of apology to the nation for such association.

I don't know what you're talking about. That group isn't treasonous because you say it is, and I haven't heard anything about her husband being a member. Regardless if he ever was, the most hateful places in the MSM are not even touching this angle, so what does that tell you? It tells me that you are trying to make something out of nothing. :)

If anyone is using sexism it's the GOP by promoting her as some GOP Xena Doll who has actually come to dominate the whole show since Wednesday.

Gimmee a break, she may be Xena, but she's no doll. She delivered a tremendous speech that us conservatives were hungry for. McCain was underwhelming, but competent. Where's the sexism in that? She delivered and outshined McCain. Even liberals said she gave the better speech, along with conservatives.

Just a reminder: a few months ago, McCain was a dirty word among conservative Republicans. Your own darling Ann Coulter said "McCain nomination would make me a 'Hillary girl"'.

Lest there be no mistake, I am no waterboy for John McCain!!! :) I voted strategically AGAINST HIM in my primary, to no avail, and have been very critical of him on FR. However, these are the cards I have left. If the opponents were Zell Miller and a Zell Miller clone then I would vote for them. Instead, the opponents are the NUMBER 1 MOST LIBERAL SENATOR in the US Senate and the NUMBER 3 MOST LIBERAL SENATOR. That tends to tighten the clothespin around my nose and inspire me to some improvisation. :)

Last night was almost a coronation. How quickly people change their minds! People don't even realize how manipulated they are.

Sure. That's politics! :)

Rush Limbaugh was even more blunt. Commenting on the possibility that Huckabee or McCain getitng the GOP nomination, Rush said ;"it's going to destroy the Republican Party, it's going to change it forever, be the end of it. A lot of people aren't going to vote."

Rush was right that this represents a huge change for conservatives. Even if "we" win we're going to be very unhappy a lot of the time. And, there will be some who vote for Barr rather than McCain. I just pray he was wrong about changing the party forever. :)

And now, a few months later, McCain is a hero of the GOP? Talk about shallow! Some backbone, let alone character...

Nah, not a hero, he's NOT Obama. In all honesty I have to kind of laugh at myself since McCain may be the only (R) who has a whisker's chance of preventing a total socialist from getting in this time around. Among a few other potentially good things, at least McCain should get the financial house in order if elected.
