It seems to me that a lot of people have gone to great lengths to destroy the reputation of this woman since she was chosen as McCains running mate.

I don't know as much about American politics as much as many of you, but I don't see why everyone is working so hard to bring her down. fair enough, I will agree that she is a tad underqualified, only being govenor of Alaska for two years. But people have made it their business to attack her personal life and not her proffesional life, which I think is just plain dirty.

there are just a few folks on here being jerks.

Here's the thing, conservatives like this woman attack everyone's personal life.  They want absistence only education, they want Creationism in schools, they want to ban same-sex relationships, they want to take women's rights to birth control away, and so forth.

If someone tells me who I can marry and what other personal decisions I can make, I think its perfectly fine to attack their flawed character.

they find her threatening to their messiah(obama)

I didnt even know who she was until yesterday when 19 threads were made about her....she dominated the site!

and liberals want to encourage children to engage in sex, destroy family values,  kill babies, and so forth.

Because you believe OBAMA IS THE ANTI-CHRIST, right?

no, i dont think they find her threatening because of what i might think.

not to be a jerk, but since when has anyone encouraged children to kill babies?
