It was her third and fifth pargraphs, particularly the fifth, that I find to be offensive and ridiculously ignorant. I'm a conservative and don't happen to think my wife's place is in the home, and if you think my wife is stupid and doesn't think for herself as a conservative, than you obviously don't know many conservative women. My wife teaches at a Christian school where she was (gasp!) even allowed to remain as a teacher after giving birth! Can you believe it?!?!?! ABG has insulted every conservative female I know. How dare they NOT think like her! That must mean they are under the thumb of a domineering male who has brainwashed her into thinking that way.
On top of that, I don't know personally know any conservative leaning men that like stupid women nor any who have chsined their wives to a stove.
Yep - pretty insanely insulting.
And Sub, she offers a lot more than being just a woman in terms of consolidating a very shaky conservative base for the republicans.

Sorry, dude. Maybe you're not
aware of any- you're not a Neanderthal and I've no doubt you and your spouse have a reasonably equitable relationship. I live in a very conservative area, and I know a lot of couples where the dynamic is exactly how ABG describes. Not a one of them is liberal. Most of the women are very unhappy as well, but their hubbies remain blissfully unaware until they leave them. Working in the business I do, and living in the neighborhood I do (predominantly Mormon), I see and hear things I doubt very much you are privy to. You want to know how women really feel? Ask their hairdresser.
Palin is a joke, and McCain will be sorry he chose her over the many others (male or female) that were better suited for such an important job. I'd say I am glad he chose her, as it only helps our side, but I care about my country enough to be very concerned that someone like that is even in the running.
