MJ, I don't doubt ...Thanks Dan for the praise!<br /><br />MJ, I don't doubt her physical attributes and I certainly think her heart is in the right place. The issue is not with her values or opinions but with her way of conveying them. I have a number of religious friends - Christian and otherwise - who share many if not all of Sarah Palin's values. And none of them come across as zealots the way Palin has at times. These religious friends disagree with me, to be sure, but they don't have the level of vitirol that we've seen from Palin towards the left, and vice-versa.<br /><br />And the thing is, Palin didn't become like this until she got tabbed to be VP last August. She was very Reagan-esque in her first two years as governor, focusing on simple, unifying issues. She attacked Frank Murkowski's and the Alaska GOP's corruption, but she didn't mock people's backgrounds or question their patriotism. And from the time she took office until she ran for VP, she was very popular with Alaskans of all political persuasions.<br /><br />Maybe it was her overeagerness to make a big splash in her first time on the national stage. Maybe it was the McCain campaign's desperate attempt at getting buzz and changing the narrative of the campaign away from GWB and the financial meltdown. But the Sarah Palin we've seen over the last 16 months is way too in-your-face and overzealous, as if anyone who doesn't share all of her views to the letter is immoral and anti-American.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09593093896643755523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458724113457799001.post-57264719023038908892009-11-18T17:42:51.947-05:002009-11-18T17:42:51.947-05:00Josh always has a wonderful thought process but in...Josh always has a wonderful thought process but in this case it seems he is looking at her from a political perspective only. As a man I see someone who is very attractive, a mother first, an outdoors person and someone who can shoot and dribble a basketball. She is a Christian and a homemaker. Sarah Palin is what every man wants in a wife. Josh and others may not understand this but Sarah Palin is Shirley Temple. She has the value system we desire when we take that first girl home to meet mom and dad except we want her value system to be used on a larger scale. I can't speak for women but I know there are a heck of a lot of them where I live, fly over country, who want to give to their children, husbands and family the the nurturing and confidence she instills in her own family. Ms. Palin is real, not pre-packaged. If this old man wouldn't have to stand in line for five or six hours to see her in Dublin Ohio on Friday I'd be there in a heart beat.mj loehrernoreply@blogger.com
