I have two friends who were anti Obama all the way and now claim that they can't even vote because of the idiot Palin. They couldn't tell me why she is an idiot, they just can't stand her.
Of course, they are both women.
Why are women so outraged by a successful, beautiful woman?

Is it envy?

Some people theorize that they feel guilty about past abortions. I’m sure some of it is envy, too. Also, Governor Palin is “country” and many city people don’t like that, either.

She is a mirror to these women, and they don’t like what they see staring back.

Of course, it is ENVY, the ugliest most prevalent trait in human beings..It has not changed since Neanderthal days. And, those who act on this emotion, as have the women described here, are the ignorant and uninformed who are also undisciplined regardless of whether they have worthless diplomas on their walls. When common sense comes into play, you will find little of it on college campuses these days and you can totally write off the North East Liberals. Only people who have enough space to observe the workings of nature for real and enough hospitality to become acquainted with their neighbors learn multiculturalism (meaning different cultures within our nation as well as race) and common sense. Sarah Palin knows how to survive in Mother Nature's harshest environment and that knowledge teaches much about survival in all venues. She is a woman to be emulated by young girls and the vicious, poisonous, envious masses of “Femi-Nazis,” (Rush) out there in their hearts know it!

OTOH, my wife and a co worker were discussing how disappointed they were in both presidential candidates, and that they would both vote for McCain, just so that they could vote for Sarah Palin. (Yes, guys, eat your hearts out. I married a good one.)

It is envy.

Not just about the looks, but by the fact that Sarah has managed to pull it off so well.

She landed a really HOT macho guy, who isn’t a jerk.
The man isn’t just macho - but he cooks! And he raises his kids too! He changes diapers and takes his kids to the park.

Meanwhile, Sarah manages to conquer.

She governs Alaska throughout her pregnancy.
After giving birth she looks like she never was pregnant.

She fired her cook!
She is picked to be VP!
She is traveling the nation and attracting thousands!!

It “appears” that has come “easy” to her.

But that is the beauty of Sarah. Truly talented people can make something look easy, when everyone knows it is not.

So - you get these feminists who chose career over family.
Or you even get women who chose family over career.

And they see this woman who managed to pull off both.

I think many women look at their own lives and feel insecure about choices they’ve made, and they project that onto Sarah.

Let’s face it ladies - Sarah is unique.
Most of us cannot pull it off like she does.

But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t admire her.
