		<description>AJ,

Do I sense a little panic in your tone?  Doesn&#039;t it seem a bit desperate to be accusing ALL liberal women of &quot;cherishing&quot; the idea of killing babies and incapable of having a career and family (even though millions of liberal women are doing it as we speak)?  Next time you are angry when you sit down to write I suggest you take a breather and wait until you calm down.  Otherwise you say really stupid things like the two things I noted above.

I can understand why you are so upset.  Obama just got a big bump out of his convention and this week was supposed to be all about McCain.  Day one of the RNC convention you spent your entire blog talking about Obama.  Day two of the RNC convention you spent your entire blog defending Palin.  Your blog is a reflection of all of the news - MSM and blogs.  NOBODY is talking about McCain.  The only news coverage McCain is getting is all of the Palin questions and controversies.  

As breschau pointed out a few weeks ago when you were cheering Obama&#039;s fall in the polls and the so-called end of the election, it was too early to make predictions because the VP, convention and debates had not yet happened.  These events historically have a bigger effect on the campaign than August polls.  Obama&#039;s VP pick went smoothly and the DNC convention was a huge success.  McCain&#039;s VP pick is turning into a PR disaster and the GOP convention is off to a really bad start.  Maybe McCain can make up for lost ground in the debates - ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  Too funny. 

So go ahead folks - attack me all you want in your responses as some out-of-touch, anti-american, baby-hating, women-hating, MSM-loving liberal!  Let me be the conduit for your anger - get it out of your system.  God knows, I&#039;d be pissed as hell if I were you given how things are shaping up in this election.</description>

		<description>The Obama campaign &lt;a href=&quot;http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2008/09/02/you-are-pathetic-human-being-you-should-be-ashamed-yourself&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;went off half-cocked&lt;/a&gt; with a rumor that claimed Palin was a Pat Buchanan supporter. The campaign issued a press release which claimed that Palin was a Buchanan supporter and that Buchanan was a &quot;nazi sympathizer&quot;.&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PAT BUCHANAN&lt;/strong&gt;: If they do that, you end the moratorium on Rev. Jeremiah Wright, because Barack Obama&#039;s pastor and spiritual advisor for 15 years did run an anti-Semitic church, does run an anti-white church and has engaged in racist rants. And we were told that, look, this is off the table, those sort of things. And them to have them come up and, come after me, you open up somebody&#039;s associations? You open those up. You open up all of yours.&lt;/blockquote&gt;It must be those &lt;strong&gt;infamous &quot;low level staffers&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;, that Obama has been leading as part of his presidential training, who put out this wonderful POS.</description>

We do have a paper trail on Obama and Biden. That&#039;s enough to prove their anti Israel bias.</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://tinyurl.com/5qngpv&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Jews don&#039;t seem to like her&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Based on anecdotal evidence in a community I&#039;ve covered for years, Sarah Palin&#039;s nomination has generated a bit of backlash among Jewish voters. Where John McCain was making inroads for his place in the secular, hawkish wing of the GOP,  and where there were doubts about Obama, there&#039;s now concern and viral e-mails about Palin.

Some, on little evidence, paint her as a Buchanan acolyte; others accurately point out that she, unlike McCain, hails from the evangelical Christian wing of her party, which would like to see more overt displays of Christianity in the public square. (There&#039;s a minority of observant Jews who would also prefer this, but this â€” and vehement anti-abortion stance â€” lose you a lot more Jewish votes than it wins.)

In any case, at the heart of this â€” as of so much about her â€” is the almost complete absence of evidence of her views on this issue. Aside from signing an boilerplate Israel-Alaska friendship resolution, Palin doesn&#039;t have a paper trail on Middle East politics, and she hasn&#039;t been to Israel. Her Alaska Jewish allies I spoke to had no recollection of discussing the issue with her in detail. Meanwhile, two Jewish Obama fundraisers have told me since the Palin pick that they&#039;ve seen Jewish donors moving to Obama.

&lt;/i&gt;

Neocon David Frum doesn&#039;t like her too much either. (Or maybe he just likes what Obama&#039;s been saying of late to AIPAC)</description>

		<description>The only reason for the comments about how Palin is not a good mom because she is running for a tough job is because we still have this standard that the women have to take care of the children first. The media needs to catch up with the times. There are plenty of fathers who stay home or handle a majority of the care of the children so that their wives can have a strong successful career.</description>

		<description>from the front page of todays&#039;s NYtimes
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/02/us/politics/02mother.html?_r=1&amp;hp=&amp;pagewanted=print&amp;oref=slogin
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt; But Mrs. Clinton and Ms. Ferraro ran for president and vice president when their children were grown, meaning they were survivors of â€” not combatants in â€” the bitter debates over whether and how to combine work with motherhood.

Mrs. Clintonâ€™s recent candidacy was a moment of reckoning for women of her generation, who treated her run as a mirror in which to examine their own lives. With Ms. Palinâ€™s entry into the field, a younger generation of women have picked up that mirror, using her candidacy to address the question of just how demanding a job a mother with such intense family obligations should tackle.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If my recollection is correct Pres. Kennedy was younger than Palin and had even younger children.  I can&#039;t remember if anyone was questioning his ability to combine work and fatherhood and the question of just how demanding a job a father with such intense family obligations should tackle.  
But wait, men can clearly handle those things better than women. Right?

That should go over very well with mothers everywhere.  I&#039;ve been married for 48 years and I learned a very long time ago not to underestimate the ability of a woman.
And isn&#039;t Obama near the same age and doesn&#039;t he have young children and isn&#039;t the job of Pres even more demanding than the job of VP?  and should he tackle such a demanding job with the intense family obligations he has?
There&#039;s not a double standard here, is there?</description>

		<description>I gotta say... my Thai wife who is the actual Fuanglada at http://fuanglada.wordpress.com/
thinks... initial thought... &quot;Oh, Disappointed... should have waited...&quot;... then... &quot;Ok, it has happened... let&#039;s go on and make a happy life for this baby.&quot;  

I think the Buddhist concept is something like this... To a Buddhist, having an abortion would be breaking the FIRST precept... that is.. to abstain from harming or killing living beings... ... There are probably entire books addressing this subject but that is the essence of the Buddhist thought on the subject.

Our Bristol lady will be just fine.  Who will not be fine is [are?] any of the lefty smear merchants who might dare to go face to face with our Sarah or God forbid... Todd [Palin...Sarah&#039;s husb]  But that will not happen, of course.  They are cowards hiding behind their computers.

btw2... Don&#039;t you just love [sarc alert] the Dems &quot;pretending&quot; not to make a smear story out of our Bristol lady&#039;s pregnancy while actually making every single effort to make it a smear. heh.  Semper Fi Bristol lady</description>

Yes, because it is an internet survey they do not include it in their lists. If you go to the RCP Blog today they have an explanation on why some polls are not on the list.</description>
