A Conservative Woman's Problem with Sarah Palin

Well if any woman, any person at all believes or agrees with this garbage in this article then shame on them for not seeking the truth , which is readily available. We all like to believe that conservatives think for themselves and are able to see behind the liberal smokescreens. However, not ever group is perfect, every group has it’s share of fools and dopes.

I know liberal and conservative women who will walk over hot coals for Sarah Palin. The conservatives I expect if from, but the libs needed to be steered in the right direction and learned for themselves.

That's a lousy comparison.

That short boy, wanting to go out with a superior girl, doesn't really work. We can all guess at least 4 reasons the girl turns down the date; however, why some don't "like" Palin, or are unsure about voting for her is NOT easy at all. When asked, as some have posted here, they don't have a reply; of merit or otherwie.

Not a single other candidate, announced or not, have been vetted as Palin has been.................yet and they probably won't be, prior to and during the primaries.

And yes, it really DOES matter why some people don't "like" Sarah!

Or, Perry could reply and say "Yes, I am from Texas. Lincoln was from Illinois...so is Obama. Does that mean anything?"

Only 146 years' separation Between Lincoln then and Obama today.

Not quite that many between Bush and Perry.

And the fact that Perry and Bush had the Governorship of Texas in common, not just residency.

Cheers!

” Stretch his lead - who told you that? The MEDIA!” =======

I don’t know what pile your head is buried under to miss every poll showing Romney clearly in the lead. He has been allowed to stretch his numbers into a lead because Wonder Girl won’t get in and go to work, and the rest of the conservative tier candidates are first timers who have had to first build a campaign and a name.

” Stretch his lead - who told you that? The MEDIA!”

You just proved my point!! LOL! My my - some are so EASILY swayed. The poll says...the poll says.

SARAH will announce her decision when she is ready. After all, it IS HER decision. Control freaks can just squirm.

the rest of the conservative tier candidates are first timers who have had to first build a campaign and a name.

If they don't have a name - they have no business running as president. And mitt's name is big gov't.

Sorry for the delay. I was afk part of the weekend.

One of the big issues is her children. I don’t have cable and don’t watch much TV, but everyone there (except me) agreed that her kids were rude to her on her TV show. One said that a boy was in her daughter’s room, and that her daughter was mouthy.

Two women there have special needs children, and they both said that there is no way that you can travel the country/world and take daily care of a child, much less a special-needs child.

Is there a double standard about women vs men in politics? Yes, there is. But these women (and I’m one of them) are not going to set aside their beliefs so that we can vote for someone. Women and men are not the same, and trying to persuade or shame a woman into going against her beliefs is just so wrong.

Please consider that we are talking about conservative women who follow the Bible. Everyone at brunch was a Catholic, with the exception of two Evangelicals (6-2).

I don’t think it’s wise make fun of any woman who believes it’s a Biblical principle to take care of the children God gave her and tell her that’s she’s jealous and catty, because she has deep-seated, Biblical reasons not to vote for another woman.

I don’t think it’s wise to tell women who have dedicated their very lives to raising their families that they aren’t of value if they won’t vote for X, either.

You seem to have a serious problem discerning the truth, since you wrote: But if it were real, and then would not vote for Palin over Obama......they are NOT conservatives, they are pretending to be conservatives. and I NEVER said that anyone present said they'd vote for Obama. I said they wouldn't vote for Palin. That's different.

Six Catholics and two Evangelicals who stay at home to raise and educate their children. A couple of them raise special-needs children. All of them attend church. All of them are married. All of them are involved in doing charitable work, pro-life causes, and politics.

I'm sure you can manufacture a reason why none of them are conservative enough since they don't agree with your choice of politician.

And you just proved mine. So, tell me what pile is it that underneath is your head? You said it, ...” - some are so EASILY swayed.” You certainly have been.
“LOL! “ “Bwahahahah’s”, and all those other ridiculous exclamation points. Stick with Rasmussen and at least you’ll be close to the fact, not that they matter in your present case, but closer to the fact.

I’ll stick with reality. And you stick w/your media and polls - it fits you.

SARAH rocks!

[Gondring]

Correct. Romney’s MittBots can’t see that once ObamaCare was passed, he was Dead on Arrival.

I don't really understand why he's such a popular candidate even discounting that.

EXCELLENT POST!

I was at brunch just today with several (7, 8 counting me) conservative, accomplished, church-going wives and moms, all of whom are involved in politics in one way or the other. None of them currently support Sarah Palin. One other woman and myself probably came the closest when we said we’d vote for her if she is the nominee. No one else would make that commitment.
Calling women catty and telling them that they couldn’t possibly be as pretty as Sarah Palin or that they are jealous isn’t the way to win over minds for your candidate.
But since women are only half of the electorate, I’m sure the name callers feel that Sarah Palin’s campaign can succeed without them.
Right?
And addressing women’s actual concerns is probably just stupid.
Right?
