Or another example would be accuse Hillery of hiding a childbirth by saying it was Chelsea's.
Come on now, the left went much further than the right ever did and you know it. I will admit back during the 90s when Hillery appointed herself or Bill appointed her to oversee the health care reform the Republicans sunk pretty low in their criticism of Hillery but never as low as it went whenever Palin was chosen as a vice presidential candidate.
So can anyone tell me what it is about Sarah Palin that skeers the shit out of the left? You can come off it now because she's done politically. You can "stick a fork in it", she's done.

Everybody concentrates on the appearance of women who enter into the presidential political arena. It's a long held fucked-up tradition. And no, I don't see much difference in what has been done to Palin and the literally thousands of images that are out there ridiculing the appearance of Hillary Clinton. But if you're serious, you suck it up and keep going. Which is what Hillary has managed to do. And why is that? In my estimation it is because there is depth and substance behind the image of Hillary Clinton, despite my own personal feelings about her and her husband which are not entirely favorable.
What scared me about Sarah Palin? That there isn't all that much behind those images and, if elected, was one likely heart attack away from the presidency. But since they lost, I've been skeptical of her chances to stage any major plays for the presidency on her own so I can say with total assurance that I am no longer scared of Ms. Sarah Palin.

personally I don't give a crap. there's morons on both sides of the fence and at the start and the ending of them. Find a way to meet halfway and move on.

^^^ see my post above.
But it's got nothing to do with 'access to the button.' And I hardly think it was an illegitimate concern.
