It goes without saying that you are entitled to your opinion, as well as being entitled to establish a minimum threshold for presidential requirements. I disagree, though, that merely being governor of one of our smallest states automatically qualifies for President. I suggest that military affairs, international relations, and fiscal policy are exponentially different from Alaska to Washington, D.C.Also, by your admitted limited exposure, do you mean that she could not communicate this grasp to the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the State of Alaska?
Since she indeed was the governor of Alaska, and was successful at it, I am asserting that as proof that does indeed tell the whole story.
This is not to disparage her; I realize that a comparable argument could have been made regarding Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter also. And I think that Pres. Obama’s experience was relatively slim as being only a less-than-one-term Senator.
A debatable point.Since she indeed was the governor of Alaska, and was successful at it…
And why did she leave in the middle of her term?

Actaully Barrack Obama makes Sarah Palin and Jimmy Carter look like Rocket Scieintists. Bill Clinton was brilliant-his lack of a moral compass and any real values is what hurt him badly.It goes without saying that you are entitled to your opinion, as well as being entitled to establish a minimum threshold for presidential requirements.

Never cared for Carter at all; he scored big by being a boring straight arrow, which a lot of people wanted after Nixon. Coouldn’t disagree more with your comment about Obama. I am not a huge fan of his, but I’ve heard him discuss complicated topics to a degree that he shows a good grasp of them.Actaully Barrack Obama makes Sarah Palin and Jimmy Carter look like Rocket Scieintists.

If Palin is as bright as some of you suggest, please answer: I don’t believe she has ever… EVER… carried on one single full-scale press conference with the media. The kind where you have to jump from a question about the Middle East, to the Fed, to environmental questions and back and forth. Why do you think that is?

She held plenty of press conferences when she was governor. I am no, BTW, of the opinion Palin should run for President in 2012. She is not ready. I dont want to see a repeat of what we are going through now. But there is no doubt she is sharp, polically savy and will make a great President with a little more seasoning.Never cared for Carter at all; he scored big by being a boring straight arrow, which a lot of people wanted after Nixon.

They were on the decline a long time before Bush was in office, infact they peaked with Reagan was in office. Both were “pro-life” so whats the point really?Abortions reached their lowest level since Roe was imposed under President Bush-and that, of course, counts only US abortions. Countless other thousands(millions?) were saved by his cutting off funds for international abortion providers.

My Logic would state that you should pic the politician who best fills your ideals, and not only pro-life or pro-choice since its been proven that it does not matter anyways.Using your logic means that having a pro-death president is okay then because the killing will not decrease.
Please re-read my posts, I think she is charming and uplifting spokesperson and that she should stay with that. She lacks in other areas specifically in politics though.Your statement is also irrelevant to the topic of this thread. The thread is about Sarah Palin’s pro-life stance, not GWBs pro-life stance. The presidential abilities of Sarah Palin were brought up by her detractors. She is not president, is not running for president, but is actively participating in pro-life activities.
Do you have anything to add about her pro-life activities? Do you have anything to add about prominent women in government’s pro-life stance that would be relevant?

‘real women’s rights’? What’s that supposed to mean?

I think is supposed to mean ‘real rights’ for all women, and not the lies propogated by the pro-abortionists and feminazis. It’s not an insinuation that some women are real and some are not.‘real women’s rights’? What’s that supposed to mean?

Most of us agreed with that statement before November 2008, but considering who we got now, her Presidential qualifcations just went up a hundred fold.I concur; she should stick to fund raising and speechgiving. She’s definitely not Presidential material.

Sorry but that is not true, the pro-life groups in Mass heralded Brown into office, who is a pro-abortion politician. Look at Reagan, who was a staunchly “pro-life”, he also saw some of the highest rate of abortions throughout his 2 terms.The Church disagress with you-emphatically.

Those of us who have had abortions will never get over it, neither should anyone else.

Good for Sarah…since my first thoughts on abortion when I was a young teen, I have never wavered in my opinion, ( I am over 60 ). I am an RN who could never get hired to work in the OR because I very much oppose abortion. I know all the right reasons to have an abortion, and they make sense…BUT…if GOD sheds tears abortion must do it for HIM. Late stage abortion is a complete abomination and how those little babies suffer…turns my stomach.

If the only two candidates are both pro-abortion then it does not matter. We are allowed to decide the lesser of two evils.Sorry but that is not true, the pro-life groups in Mass heralded Brown into office, who is a pro-abortion politician. Look at Reagan, who was a staunchly “pro-life”, he also saw some of the highest rate of abortions throughout his 2 terms.
I would be willing to wager that anyone the current administration supports for an elected office has to be unwaveringly pro-murder or else thay would not pass the litmus test. As has been stated already, all you have to do is read the party platforms. So far no one has posted an example of a pro-life woman democrat. None. Nada. Zilch. The destruction of Sarah goes on. Since you can’t or won’t correct the problems in your chosen party affiliation you have to destroy Sarah.
The high abortion rate was not a result of what Reagan did. The cause and effect relationship does not connect. You will have to provide a better example to support your statements.

The Church teaches that if both canidates are pro-abortion it is permissible to vote for the one who is least pro-abortion. As Archbishop Chaput put it this is not a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils-it is a matter of voting to limit evi;Sorry but that is not true, the pro-life groups in Mass heralded Brown into office, who is a pro-abortion politician.

Indeed. But the question is: can the prolife movement survive having Sarah Palin as an advocate?Washington DC – Former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has a message for the mainstream media and abortion advocates. In a new note encouraging pro-life advocates at the March for Life, the former Alaska governor says pro-life people won’t “get over” abortion because abortions hurt women.
I liked her initially precisely because she was so strongly prolife. My goodwill lasted about a week or two. I know this won’t convince anyone, but I honestly tried to like her. She’s just obviously obnoxious and unqualified except to the hardline true believers who are blind to everything except ideological loyalty. Unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of those these days–on both sides of the political spectrum.

Can it survive a high profile woman giving it unqualified support and unquestionably believing what she says? Yeah, I think so.Indeed. But the question is: can the prolife movement survive having Sarah Palin as an advocate?
Unqualified to do what? Speak out on abortion? Do you have any knowledge of what she did while governor of Alaska?She’s just obviously obnoxious and unqualified except to the hardline true believers who are blind to everything except ideological loyalty.
