Does anyone realize she denied women rape kits? That does not say feminist to me...

Feminism does need to be reborn.. you're right - random Tiffany from Texas. What it doesn't need is to be modeled after a ,glistening, shiny, modern version of Victorian age acquiescence- to the master gender -in this case male. Women and men should be able to coincide in the same environment without trying to dominate or control one another. The "Individuality" phase of the eighties and nineties would be all for not if feminism were to be morphed into defined "gender" roles. Let us face it audience... Gender is taught , it is and shall always be a "cultural" thing, so what you teach your children will be handed down from person to person. Let us rise above cliched "notions" of "soft core" feminism and stick to the cold hard facts.... Sarah Palin would endorse a water down version of feminism that would suck the soul of every woman and girl on this planet. Slavery was abolished in 1863, so why try to revive and collar it around our women subtly with the facade named "Free-market-Feminism"?
Also for the record ...If George Washington believed the common man should run our government, then why were only white property owning males over the age of 25 allowed to vote up 1960's?

I'm a mom of five, I'm not a "church lady" and I don't own a gun but I know how to use one. I don't really believe in abortion yet I think any woman who is crazy enough to put a coat hanger up her whowho needs to have one. I'm in no way on the fringe. I'm a mom, a business woman and a wife and I believe that it's time for feminism to be reborn!
That said, I admire Sarah Palin and if she did decide to run I know I would do whatever I could to help her. George Washington believed that "average" people should run our government as he believed that would be best for the people they represented.

LOL!
ROSS!!!
The fact that you even bring up looks is VERY telling. Would you support Sarah if she was ugly???
It´s good ole southern beauty pageant mentality!! That is Palin´s appeal to MANY. She´s nice looking, she may be vacuous and incurious, but she looks good. OK, I hope her LOVELY FINGER never gets anywhere near America´s NUK-U-LAR (as Sarah pronounces it) ARSENAL.
Ah, Ross loves her.............

You, and your attitude towards woman are a disgrace to either party. Your argument is factually incorrect and full of holes. So Democratcic woman are dogs, and Republican woman are hot? We are jeolous of Sarah Palin for her "beauty"? Can you possibly imagine that many were unconcerned with her looks, given what a vapid, wholly unprepared, and far right leaning piece of work she is??
Rub till it bleeds sucker, it's all she is good for.

I am looking forward to the day when Sarah Palin defeats Barack Obama in 2012 and becomes our 45th president. Barack Hussein Obama sucks and I can't believe we now have this idiot as president!

Ross of CA......
Couric never asked Palin about the BUSH DOCTRINE.
Charlie Gibson asked her, and she couldnt answer.
Couric asked her what publications she personally read...Palin replied ALL OF ÉM.
When asked about McCain´s record, Palin replied, UHHHH, I´LL GET BACK TO YA ON THAT ONE, and Palin couldn´t name a supreme court decision other then the one Couric brought up to talk about, Roe v WADE.
SOME PEOPLE ARE EASILY IMPRESSED, sorry,,,,,,,,
