Subject: The effort to scapegoat her is totally...
In reply to: Jeannine 's message, "I certainly have thoughts on this" on 10:07:30 11/07/08 Fri

coming from the McCain campaign and Fox News. I have no idea why you are blaming liberals. These are the people who picked her in the first place, so please, don't blame the Democrats and the media. The Katie Couric interview was a big reason she lost support, and unless you can tell us which question Katie asked that was unfair, I don't think you can blame her lousy performance on anybody but her. But to repeat, this story is totally coming from the right, so for once, leave the Dems out of it.

I hate generalities, as I thought you did as well. I, for one, never thought Palin should "stay home with the children". I gave her a lot of credit for stepping into the fishbowl that is American politics. She is being used now as the obvious scapegoat and I think it's a shame. I have no doubt we will hear from her in the future.

I am a liberal and thrilled with the outcome of the election and excited about the future. But until "liberal" stops being used as a dirty word, there won't be much chance of bringing a sense of unity to the country.

insult or derisive generalization. But I have thick skin and I'm still feeling euphoric so no biggie. I despise Palin. But I was also angered by comments from BOTH sides initially, that she should be home taking care of kids. No one says that about male candidates with kids and it infuriates me. It does appear that Palin is being scapegoated. Perhaps as the "newbie" in the game, some felt she could be sacrificed to save face? I don't know. It is kind of intriguing.

You are right that I shouldn't lump all the libs in together. I hate it when you guys do it to us and I won't do it again.

I do think that these reports are coming from the people who, for whatever reason they have (some are most likely trying to save their own asses), are trying to ruin her future politically. There are now reports that most of these things never happened... we will probably never know the truth, because the media, including Fox News cannot be trusted. That is a tragedy.

I meant no offense to anyone here, you guys actually treat me pretty well for an old conservative loud-mouth!
