If i was in that household, i would feel like a prisoner.

I hope that wasn't a stab at my feminist beliefs.

Any way, I certainly blame the father for problems with children just as much.

It means that Sarah Palin is EPIC FAILURE.

I have no idea what your opinion on feminism is and I didn't mean to blame you. A lot of people hold that opinion, someone else on this thread mentioned something similar. But it does irk me a little that traditional gender roles are still so ingrained in society.

Here are some frightening quotes:

Palin: "You can't blink, you have to be wired in a way to be so committed, to the mission, the mission that we're on, the reform of this country and victory in the war, that you can't blink." (Doesn't that sound like Bush's "Stay the Course?")

Palin: "For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country - unprovoked - is unacceptable."

Interviewer Charles Gibson: "Unprovoked?"

Palin:" I do beleive unprovoked."

Interviewer: "What insight into Russian actions in the last couple of weeks does the proximity of the state give you?"

Palin: "They're our next door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska!"

Oh well, right on!

I could have given better responses than her, and I know ****-all about foreign affairs (especially compared to what a potential vice president should know!)

How I feel while listening to her speech must be how english teachers feel when they're reading a paper by one of those students whose paper is 75% filler just to reach the 2000 word requirement. Ugh.

Yeah but you wouldn't have to spout neo-Republican doctrine and could actually say what you think. Gah! Just listening to interviews like this makes me feel edgy and uncomfortable. You can almost watch their little minds balancing out their real opinions with what they are obligated to say. I hate politics.

Well, in her case, she's probably answering in a more liberal fashion than she would were she saying exactly what was on her mind. War as a last option? I don't think that's what she really beleives.
