I don't know how others feel, but it seems a bit less than convincing.

Tom, I've been posting Palin threads for over two years now, and have seen literally thousands of Palin-related posts. I could care less if you are convinced or not, but the truth is, there is indeed an undercurrent against strong women in politics on this board, so much so that it has become a running joke among Palin supporters as we see it almost on a daily basis.

The "Stop Sarah" piece points directly at the general feeling within the GOP good ol' boys club that a woman has no business running for the GOP nomination, much less the Presidency, which Santorum pretty much blurted out at CPAC. You can ignore it if you wish, but it is there, and it will destroy the GOP if they don't get their heads out of their arses.

I post here to fight the good fight for Palin and the U.S. military. I've seen too many posts from certain people (invariably PDS'ers) over these past two years saying that "women have no business in politics," that "they should stay home and take care of their kids," and that "they want a man as President and NOT a woman." Like a previous poster said, do a keyword search for 19th Amendment, and you will see it plain as day. And, as I said before, just check in with the Palin threads each day, and you'll see it there too.

I don’t think that the fact that not everyone here at Free Republic is a full-throated supporter of the presidential candidacy of Sarah Palin is evidence of “an undercurrent against strong women in politics.” But if you do, hey, it’s a Free Republic, right?

As far as how much you care, or don’t care, about whether or not you’ve convinced me, you may as well know that I didn’t refute your paper-thin tissue of “evidence” to teach you anything. I doubt your protective shell of ignorance and emotionalism can be breached by any earthly force.

I refuted your claims for the benefit of others, some of whom may be new to this website, who might have made the mistake of taking your assertion seriously.
