I wonder if this is actually true.
This ridiculous debate will continue. Obviously, if it were a lib woman, like Hillary, they would say that she has 100% support of women. But, as she is a conservative, with great appeal to all, then they need to attack her with pointless stuff like this. That’s my feeling, anyway.
Oh, spare me.
She was narrowly elected governor and had to buck people in her own party, raise her own money and do her own campaigning to get there.
Yeah, Hillary was sandbagged by the enemedia when they went all out to elect ObaMao-- but that was one time. Sarah has put up with and overcome far worse sandbagging all her life. Don't try to tell me which one is smarter and which one had to work harder, because it isn't the carpetbagger currently from New York which has had to trudge uphill and against the wind all her political career.
This is from the same type of people who idolize a frivolous dumb lightweight like Gloria Steinhem, but passionately detest an accomplished and brilliant woman like Phyllis Schlafly.
The type who read the New York Times.
And the type who write for it.
Sarah Palin—”she is not smart”.
I can’t stand that statement. as compared to whom? The other VP candidate in the 2008 race? Joe Biden? Puhleeze.
Where is she “not smart”?. Ask a lib that question and they can’t answer it.
That’s OK. Like I told someone tonight—they will just have to get used to saying “President Palin”.
'nuff said.
Well Ms. Zimmerman, if Palin isn't smart, what does that make a nobody like you? Hmm?
I've noticed that many of the people who dislike Palin do so without regard for the facts.
They either ignore her record, or resort to predjudices about her being female, attractive or not part of the establishment.
Especially women, from my personal experiences. My opinion on that is - it's a lot of envy.
As the mother of a special needs child, Saran Palin and I belong to an exclusive club. As for the not smart part, for a woman who isn’t particularly smart, I say, she’s been able to become governor on her own merit, and she didn’t even need to stay married to a cheating husband to get there.
Love the quote from the RINOette Lisa Copeland:
Of course, there are others who insist that, in the long run, Going Rogueis too short on substance to help Palin, at least in a political sense. In her piece Belkin quotes Lisa Copeland, a lifelong Republican and Texas native, who is a founder of a nonprofit group, the Project 19 Foundation, to move more women into political and professional leadership roles.
When [Palin] gave her convention speech, I sat in my living room and wept, Copeland told Belkin. She was my age, she looks like me. I really thought she would save the party. But then, she says, Palin began to talk. She embarrasses me.
RINOs and RINOettes embarrass me every time they open their pie holes to opine.
... and who the heck is Eileen Zimmerman?... and why should we care what the hag thinks about Palin?
Women are jealous, vicious and petty and really direct that toward other women that are 'doers' or those that show independence. There's no reason for these vicious attacks on Sarah Palin but the better we get to know her, the more foolish those attackers appear (men included).
Anyone who thinks that Sarah Palin is not smart is herself not smart. What she is not is an intellectual, but intellectuals are often not smart—being better critics than doers.
Sarah Palin, unjustly, allows Republican women to feel less guilty for letting strangers raise their kids.

I’ve watched all the videoes of Palin’s book signing events, and I sure see a lot of women of all ages, from teenagers to seniors in those lines.
Jealous, snarky, women.
I know one myself. My lefty, code pink mom. She has Palin Derangement Syndrome. She went and “spied” on Sarah Palin’s book signing THREE times on Tuesday. She says that Palin wouldn’t have gotten anywhere without being “pretty”.
Sarah Palin succeeded despite not having a pedigree, an Ivy League education, a wealthy well-connected husband, or radical feminist inclinations.
I haven’t read her book, but I imagine that her motivation for getting into politics is also foreign to the Angry Women.
To me she embodies the American ideal of anyone being able to grow up to be President, and I think that’s pretty cool.
my female coworkers and friends do not like her at all and think she is dumb and doesn’t represent women well. Some are democrats while other are moderates. They get their information from media, which is the best source of information for most. I think this is a problem that Palin needs to address. Most women don’t spend time reading alternative online news coverage and just get whatever information from local news/mainstream news stations.
