Confessions of a Secret Sarah Admirer

Your qualifying article is a perfect example of why women in America can be more like the woman you admire, Sarah Palin, by abandoning your little "secret" liberal mentality and support her conservative views. Women seem to be intimidated by the liberal establishment--rather, you should "come out" and openly state that you really have a jealous vendetta against this God-fearing woman politician who can stand for righteous principles and God-fearing ideals and still be successful in public political arena and front. Why don't you show your readers you aren't double-minded and bravely and unequivocally endorse her and McCain? Perhaps you can send a message to your readers that you are not just another crass reporter who uses coy devices to undermine a politician--like the media that has attacked the daughter's moral indiscretions and failings. Maybe you can actually openly and completely stand-up to the liberal masses and voice to millions of prospective readers the very thing that Sarah Palin believes in and openly states--without undermining her. You've tried to appease the popular media by inferring you understand why she's popular, but could never vote in favor of Sarah Palin because she is too conservative!

Wow, you liked her the instant you saw her picture. That's quite an endorsement. Perhaps when you sit down with her and have a Red Bull you can ask her why she has been lying about her views on things like the\"Bridge to Nowhere" or her view on making a woman have the baby even in rape or incest. Hope you get the right answers!

Palin is pro-life, opposing abortion in all cases except when the mother's life is in danger. She opposes same-sex marriage and favors teaching creationism alongside evolution in schools.

But she hasn't pushed for legislative changes in any of those areas.

To me that says that she recognizes the limits of government and the importance of personal choice. Perhaps even more than the "liberals" who vaunt "pro-choice" above the image of Michelle Obama standing behind her man and taking care of the kids on her own while they talk on the phone with daddy.

Which family seems the most feminist to you?

It seems Palin had written in a questionnaire that she opposed "explicit" sex-ed programs, so she was asked:


In a recent survey you said that you would support abstinence-until-marriage education but that you would not support explicit sex-ed programs. What are explicit sex-ed programs, and does that include talking about condoms in school?

Palin's answer:

No, I don't think that it includes something that is relatively benign. Explicit means explicit. No, I am pro-contraception, and I think kids who may not hear about it at home should hear about it in other avenues. So I'm not anti-contraception. But yeah, abstinence is another alternative that should be discussed with kids. I don't have a problem with that. That doesn't scare me, so it's something that I would support also.

This kind of "stary-eyed" commenting is why it's taken women so long to advance their careers and be taken seriously. Please excuse me, as I leave to the room to vomit!

You are totally SICK. She is exactly what you started to think of her -- as a lightweight, and wild lunatic.
YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO BROOKLYN AND REGROUND YOUR ROOTS. Plus how in God's earth could you believe in AND support Hilary and what she stands for and her experience and then support this no name, uninformed young Mom -- from a state of which you have nothing in common with?? Did you fall on you head getting out of bed one day ??? P.S. I want none of her Bible talk in the White House !!!!!!!

I disagree with Buffaloboy. Sarah Palin is not afraid to be a person of faith. Most Americans do not believe in evolution (see http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/10/22/opinion/polls/main965223.shtml). So try not to "defend" Sarah by weakening her.

When Americans find out who the man was that Sarah tried to remove from office, they will wonder what is wrong with liberals that they cannot tell right use of power from wrong.

Even Sarah's mis-statements serve the Higher Truth that can never be wrong. The Election ended the day after Obama's speech when Americans saw a man who cannot even decide whether he is a Muslim vs. a true American like Sarah. Game/Set/Match. Sorry, liberals! you will have to pack up your anti-God, pro-homosexuality agenda and retire. (Not really sorry, btw.....

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

My mother tried ,(and obviously failed), to abort me in 1965. That was before the wonder working power of Roe V Wade. You will understand why I love Sarah Palin! I am all for choice: provided it doesn't end with me ,or any like me: dead.

I am glad that there is now a prolife WOMAN on the ticket. I have read a lot of comments that say that you can't be a "feminist" if you are antichoice -- doesn't that take away from the very essence of feminism, that empowers each one of us? Destroying life does not empower us. I do find that Democrats who cry that pro-choice is the only way also decry the war and the loss of innocent American lives --even though these Americans CHOSE to serve their country whereever they are sent. Isn't that interesting

One thing I'd like to clarify - Palin does NOT advocate teaching Creationism in schools - I heard an interview of her (before being a VP pick) where she said that "maybe it shouldn't be part of the curriculum" (not an exact quote - don't have time to look it up), but it a student brings it up, then it should be a valid point of debate (and I agree with that - no reason to tell a student "shut up, we don't talk about Creationism around here").

She does believe that Creationism is more accurate than Darwinism - a position I disagree with completely. But that is her personal belief, not her political platform.

One thing must be clarified - Palin does NOT advocate teaching Creationism in schools. She has said that "maybe it should not be part of the curriculum" (not an exact quote, but words to that effect) - she has said that if a student raises a question about it, then it's not unreasonable to have a discussion about it in the classroom.

Yes, she thinks Creationism is more accurate then Darwinism - and I strongly disagree with her on that. But she is not, and never has, pushed the teaching of Creationism in the schools.

Msssss. Pit Bull has anything to do with decency.
That is why this dity ticket McWar&Pit Bull will not win against calm Decency.
I hope in Decency of America, that is why I am confident - we would not rush to the Distatorship of Pit Bulls.
NO WAY
NO HOW
NO MCWar
NO Pit Bull.

awful.

Kathleen, I loved the article. I disagree with your politics... but I thought it was honest and real. Sounds like you too are someone who would be worth having a Red Bull with.

I think we too often fail to think of people as people.

how sad to see all of the hateful, acrimonious, slanderous irrational opinions by both "sides" in this very important election year.

people are "twits." "commies," "marxists," "traitors," ad nauseum.

what happened to the "civil" in civilization?
