Palin Interview

It would have been hilarious, if it weren't for the fact that this woman is still a serious contender for the Vice Presidency of the United States of America.  (By "serious", I mean that a lot of people will vote for her, not that she's an informed or sensible choice

Clearly, you are just being sexist.

What does concern me is that, at least initially, she is pulling women away from Obama in the polls. This is a woman who doesn't believe in anything most American women rate as important issues in the coming election; ending the war in Iraq, preserving Roe v Wade, making serious strides in combating climate change and saving the environment. Oh, wait....those issues are on the header list for almost everybody, not just women. Luckily, I believe that women ultimately are more intelligent and less shallow than the Republicans do, and will, in the end, vote for the candidates who REALLY represent their beliefs.

Here's the thing... disagree with me if you will... I think the majority of the Republican leadership in the US has no real desire to strike down Roe v Wade

hmmm....good point. I admire that level of cynicism. It makes me think that there might be several issues like that on the "hot list" from time to time, where the appearance of supporting a particular position gets the candidate votes, so they continue to feign support of same to keep the issue alive, so as to continue to garner votes from their constituents. Affirmative Action might be said to be on this list, for both sides. How sad our political system has become.

and Republican Candidate X's daughter was arrested in an illegal clinic in Utah

If RvW were struck down, it'd be a state issue, right? So then I'm guessing the daughter would be shipped over state lines to NYC or LA, which might be illegal, but never actually prosecuted.
