Do the women who like Sarah Palin like her because she's a woman?

[mtnsnake]

Or do they like her because she has all the same heartless qualities that define rednecked males, minus 300 or so pounds?

[GreenEyedLefty]

1. They think she's "tough."

[liberal N proud]

2. She is that new shinny object that they can't put down

[LaurenG]

3. People are attracted to those most like themselves -

that should tell you everything you need to know about their character. Pretty on the outside uglier than sin inside.

[PeaceNikki]

4. They live in sound bytes and talking points.

They believe she shook up politics in AK and tried to get rid of corruption. They think she speaks for the "common family". They think she is "one of them".

They're fools of the highest order. The same fucks who voted for GWB.

[mtnsnake]

6. True. n/t

[Curtland1015]

5. She's a working Mom, she's "pretty", she has problems...

Just like "me!"

Girl Power!!!!

:puke:

[lostnotforgotten]

10. Pretty? - She's An Average Jane At Best With Lots Of Lip Gloss

Pretty - No Way In Hell!

[Curtland1015]

13. Hey, you don't have to tell me!

I'm just repeating what others have said.

Personally, I don't think beer goggles would be enough for her... perhaps a beer telescope?

[lostnotforgotten]

19. Well By Alaska Standards She May Be A Babe

But I hear Grizzlies look good after awhile as well.

[Faygo Kid]

7. Some like her because they hate Obama more than anything else.

They don't care about anything except how much they hate Obama. They are called PUMAs, and that is their whole reason for living.

[rucky]

8. Nasty human beings relate to her, one way or another.

somehow.

[featherman]

9. "one of us" is what I've heard

[rzemanfl]

11. They like her because she is a white woman who gives them

an excuse for not voting for a black man.

[justiceischeap]

12. I am certain there is a segment of the female gender that like her solely based on

the fact she has boobs. There are women out there that like her because she has good fashion sense. There are women out there that like her because she has kids. There are women out there who like her to the detriment of their own gender because they don't give a damn about the issues.

However, there are also women out there who won't like her because... she's a woman. Some women still believe it's a man's world and no woman could successfully run it.

Let's hope that the women who see her for what she is, a wind-up toy, outnumber those who are hellbent on voting for America's Next Top Model.

14. To quote one FReep

Reasons I Love Sarah Palin

1. She is so classy!

2. There's not a bad picture of her (that I've seen... but I say it's impossible)

3. She wears red leather heels

4. She is endlessly friendly

5. Her husband is a man's man and they seem a great and committed couple

[Tikki]

15. A lot of Repug women I have met over the years have...

the distinction of proudly telling me that they don't have to make up their
mind on who to vote for...they just wait for their husbands' to tell them
who and what to vote for.
They seem, somehow, proud of this.
Now they can go ahead and do what their husbands' tell them to do but feel a little independent
because, after-all, there is a woman on the ticket.
Makes no difference that she is a psychopath.

16. That's a big part of it, of course. It's similar to what women supporters felt/feel for Hillary.

Despite their very different policy standpoints, female supporters of both candidates felt/feel they were "just like me" and
admired their brassy, tough "Rose the Riveter/Annie Oakley" public persona. It's pretty obvious that if Palin weren't a
woman, McCain never would have picked her.

[renie408]

17. I think they THINK they are supposed to both like her and BE like her

Whether that is actually how they feel, I dunno. Democrat or no, I found her off putting from the beginning. I do not find her personality at all attractive. I find her abrasive, ambitious and scarily without introspection. She reminds me of a Mean Girl who has grown up to be a Mean Woman. Maybe she triggered my latent '14 yr old outcast' memories, but she just reminds me of vapid 'popular' girls everywhere.

[firedupdem]

18. that is just horrible to me.

I cannot understand why you will vote for a woman just because she's a woman? That is stupid. I agree with the earlier post...just a reason not to vote for a black man. I want my leaders to have more knowledge than I have, a plan for the future etc. This lady is horrible and McCain has a horrible track record on women's issues. It's really a dumb move.

[goclark]

20. No, they like her because they are stupid nt

[Tutonic]

21. Nailed it.

[nini]

22. They think she's tough

I know a few women who confuse strength with 'bitchiness' for lack of a better word.

They think being assertive is to be cutting and snarky.

They think strength is to be throw your power in others faces instead of managing with common sense and tact.

Some women mistake her false bravado as being able to hang with the big boys, when the reality is she will be chewed up and spit out by any man or woman who really is tough and doesn't have to pretend to be.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

23. ...

[pansypoo53219]

24. she's a MOM

and yes, she's tough, like the wolfs she kills.

[Obamarulz11]

25. Pretty! Do you realize how much makeup she has on

I bet she looks like "SWAMP THING" in the morning!

[seabeyond]

26. i dont like sarah cause, mom: alwyas puts self before kids. feminist: her hubby rules and shadows

she is not independent and uses sex to manipulate.

she lies
she preaches christianity yet does not walk the walk
she lacks honor and integrity

i would not like her if i met her on the street or she was a next door neighbor

but as vp.... which i would not care about otherwise, she is not a thinker.

[PresidentObama]

27. Conservatives like her policies, and think she's a MILF.
