It's interesting you mentioned about women's reproductive rights. How about those unborn children's rights to live and be loved?
It's hard to tell what's true and what's not true about what we read and see about all these politicians. Given a choice between someone who truly loves this country (Republican -- McCain/Palin) and someone who doesn't (Obama), I'd vote for the one who loves this country no matter how different the Republican views are from mine.

Here is a great resource about Sarah Palin - the most comprehensive page of information on her record and policies available on the Internet ... including videos of her saying her proposed $30 billion pipeline is the “will of God,” her saying a month ago she doesn’t know what the vice-president does, and her complaining four months ago that Hillary Clinton was whining about “sexist” media coverage -

It has in-depth research, audio clips, videos, and links to hundreds of articles, including many from newspapers and TV stations in Alaska. It has rare footage, including her telling the ‘08 convention of the Alaska Independence Party, whose aim is to give Alaska a vote on seceding from the U.S., to “keep up the good work.”
The level of research is tremendous. The site’s editors and volunteers include an Emmy-award winning CNN reporter, the former operating editor of the Christian Science Monitor’s web site, the former head of NPRs News Blog and the Executive Director of the Online News Association -

Please tell anyone about this who might want to know more.

Just look at this website and tell me that she is who she says she is. It seems that the republicans are really good about one thing and that is LYING to everyone!

In terms of feminism and women we have a long way to go in terms of discourse. I think there's A LOT to talk about, but some of those issues are so "hot" one dare not touch them. If I do talk about certain issues, I'll be labeled. XX. What I most resent, is MEN handing out the rules of what we can do, say, and think.
If the dusts ever settles we're going to be discussing some of the issues raised by posters. For now, we'll have to wait, the "Thought squad" won't allow it.

"Sexist" is Pslin herself, wearing her 4-inch red high heels for official appearances. Those would be more appropriate in a strip club and SHE KNOWS IT. Parade the booty and plan to stomp all over the citizens. Cute little church girl, don't you think? Tramp in my book. Remember, her daughter isn't the only one marrying "quick" for the pregnancy. Sarah did the same thing herself, 19 years ago.

My, My, now we know that liberals are not for women, only liberal women. No suprise here, the same applies to African Americans. It is amazing to me how divided we are. Perhaps we should divide the country, we keep the red states and you get the blue.
Abortion is the great divide, abortion that has freed young men of any responsiblity for their sexual actions, they win and women lose.

Palin has fueled most Republicans by criticism which always seem to work. She has a sense of arrogance that does not get me wanting to vote for McCain. She wants to throw fuel on the fire, but runs and hides when the fire gets hot. This election is so important. people should realize that these are tactics with no merit just to keep the middle class and poor suffering.
