I was wrong!!!
Mea maxima culpa!!! I have written several articles critical of this gorgeous Hollywood model. I am so sorry.
I have suggested that she is not qualified to be President. I have suggested both; that she has no experience, and has bad judgment. I have suggested that she has radical extremists anti-women’s rights policies. I have suggested that she has not been vetted. I have suggested that there are unresolved ethical questions. I have questioned her pregnancy and the pregnancy of her daughter. My bad.
In my article titled: Should Women Control Their Own Body? I suggested that Sarah Palin had extremist views on woman’s rights. I was correct of course, but…
The specific premise of my article titled: What is up with the swollen lymph node on John McCain’s face? was proven flawed by Carolina in comment: #262435 and by Kate in comment: #262482. The specific premise was that there seemed to me to be some evidence of metastatic cancer. Carolina and Kate successfully debunked that premise. However the more general premise that MCCain’s questionable health means that his choice of VP is of special importance is correct… But…
In my article titled: McCain Insults Women I suggest that Sarah Palin is a rank amateur with no real experience, poor judgment, no vetting that was chosen for sexist reasons on the assumption that women would vote for her because she had a uterus. I was correct of course… BUT…
In that article, I suggested Condi Rice would have been a much stronger choice. I was correct of course… We now know that McCain wanted the DINO Lieberman but that the social conservative extremist would not allow him to, so he sold out. Good thing too… Lieberman would have been a real problem for us Dems… If MCCain had the political courage to stay true to his heart, he could have won this thing. They could have presented themselves has a highly experienced national unity ticket and pulled the rug right out from under Obama and Biden. Toss in a little anti-black racism and MCCain would be President. Because of racism it is still an uphill battle for us, but we had the political courage and integrity to listen to our hearts. Palin is a problem too, but she is peeking too soon and she is a weak poorly qualified candidate. Due to McCain’s health, she is too close to the Presidency. This makes her an important VP pick and it is a very good reason for moderates and independents to vote against McCain. If you are a moderate, do you want a rankly inexperienced extremist that close Presidency. So I was correct but… BUT…In the commentary thread of that same article, in comment: #260318 pianofan raised questions about:Even her touted stance against the “Bridge to Nowhere” is bogus - she was for it before she was against it. We now know that not only did she flip flop, she took the money and spent it. We were and are correct to raise those questions… But… But… But…
In the commentary thread of that same article phx8 raised questions about the troopergate investigation that she is now stonewalling and acting guilty about. See comment: #260366 He and we were and are correct to raise those questions… But… But… But…
In comment: #260425l of that same article I said: In one important sense, she is not living her conviction, not even close. She chose as a gift freely given to provide the services of her body to maintain the life of a birth defective fetus. I honor that choice of love. She is exercising her freedom of choice and choosing love. I honor that. She is living the convictions of the women’s right to choose movement. That is not what her convictions are. Her convictions are that the government should force women to provide the services of their bodies to keep potential people alive. She thinks that the government should have forceful control over women’s reproductive organs. In order for her to fully live her convictions she should be forced by the government to have an abortion. How would she like that? Forcing her to have an abortion would be the same level of government control over her reproductive organs that she wants the government to have over the reproductive organs of women who want abortions. That would be living her convictions. She is living choice.
As I have pointed out above: Fetuses although not yet fully human, have a right to life. They are free to live that life independent of their mother. I am fully human and have a right to life. No one is obligated to provide the services of their bodies to keep me alive not even to the point of using their body blow air into my lungs for five minutes. I have a right to live and I am free to live but I do not have the right to forcefully control your body or to have my government control your body in order to keep me alive. Forceful control of women’s reproductive organs is called rape. I was correct of course… BUT… BUT… BUT…
After phx8 raised questions about her pregnancy, in comment: #260512 of that same article I said:Assume the best. Assume her daughter really did have Mono. Assume number 5 is hers. This leaves me questions of why this staunch pro-life woman is neglecting the baby (at 8 months, viable outside the womb, it is a baby). Leaking amniotic fluid??? She should be rushing to the nearest hospital to make sure the baby is alright. Did she want God to perform an abortion for her? Was she trying to give him a little help? “The Lord helps them that helps themselves…” Leaking amniotic fluid might not be serious but a loving mother would certainly want to immediately consult with a doctor and attempt to prolong the pregnancy for the baby’s benefit. She would not be fly on a plane and drive for forty five minutes. She would be on a phone and rust to the nearest hospital. Maybe there is an explanation? Was this speech in Angoon to 10 native Americans where the only medical care was a shaman? If so why was finishing the speech so very important. Was the plane a bush plane with pontoon floats? Was a plane ride and a 45 minute drive to Wasila the closest medical facility? If there are not good answers to these questions then this smells like Kawock… My wife thinks that it is less likely for a teenager to deliver a baby with downs syndrome because genetic damage accumulates as we age. But that leaves the serious questions about the neglect of the baby. We were and are correct to raise those questions which still remain unanswered… BUT… BUT… BUT… BUT…There is another aspect of this. Yes Sarah is important for the reasons cited above. Yes moderates and liberals should vote against them for the reasons and questions cited above. Yes, the questions should be asked, honestly answered, and put to bed. She is important, but not that important. The problem here is the enthusiasm gap. The lack of enthusiasm for McCain relative to Obama has been an embarrassment. But, the lack of enthusiasm for McCain relative to Palin is just pathetic. This war hero was fighting and suffering for his country literally before she could pee yellow… And everyone is excited about her… What for??? What has she done to deserve our excitement??? She a measly, lousy VP pick… I mean she is a lousy VP pick… Why the excitement??? What are people all “head up” about??? What was I all “head up” about??? He will probably live, so she would just be VP. The chance that she could be President is a good reason for moderates to vote against McCain, but it is not a very good reason for people who are enthusiastic about her, to vote for him, because she is just going to hang out around the glass ceiling that Hillary cracked and do nothing. I was wrong. She is not important. There is no reason to get all “head up” about her… Now we know that the MCCain campaign is lying about and inflating the number of people showing up to see him. PATHETIC. I may go to one of his campaign events just pay tribute to the man for his service to his country…
