I actually agree with this notion. I'm not a fan of affirmative action.
Hey, there are gay republicans too. That doesn't mean the party as a whole is supportive of gays either.

I don't think any liberal has claimed that. Cite your source, please - and Rush Limbaugh claiming we said it doesn't count.

and women need government programs to manage marriage, children and work simultaneously

I don't think you can look at any politician, especially one with the income-generating capability she apparently has, as proof that ordinary women do not need any help.
Speaking of which, I do wonder where she got the money for her 3000+ square foot house with the sea plane in the front lake. . .

Sarah Palin doesn't just talk respect for unborn human life. She's lived it. She chose not to abort her son after learning that he had Down's syndrome.

There are lots of people, liberals included, who do not choose to have an abortion. The neocon mantra that liberals are baby killers is as undeserved as it is idiotic.

She hasn't fallen for the myth of man made global climate change, or whatever they're calling it today.

I wonder if you've actually looked into the scientific research regarding this issue, or if you're just listening to what right-leaning talking heads are telling you. I assume that as an intelligent, independent woman it is the former, and am therefore curious why you have decided to side with the less-than-1% of scientists (most of whom are on the payroll of oil companies and other major polluters, and some of whom are barely scientists if at all by training) instead of the vast majority of them who are saying that the climate is in fact changing.
And that qualifies her to be president?

#2. Sarah is not a Washington insider. Neither am I and I feel like NO ONE there is working for me. I want them ALL gone. I think like Sarah, so I know she would be working for me.

At what point does one become a Washington insider? Upon election to office? If so, it would be illogical to elect anyone, as they are doomed to become an insider as soon as they get there. If not, then I would point out that Franken can hardly be an insider as he's been a Senator for less than 24 hours. Should you not be throwing your support behind that maverick?

In the video that Ave provided, Sarah explained very well, even twice to the thick skulled Andrea Mitchell, why she is stepping down-to prevent a lame duck sitting governor.
|
No, she didn't. The idea of stepping down once one decides not to run for another term means that no one should ever be in any sort of elected office because eventually they'll have to leave, and therefore will be a lame duck. The period between the decision not to run again and the next election is actually the best time to get stuff done, because you no longer have to worry about getting re-elected.
