If we are going to end people's careers in Congress over sexual escapades with other consenting adults that should be none of anyone's business outside of those immediately involved, then David Vitter (R-La) needs to step down NOW and stop being an embarrassing and hypocritical distraction to Congress. We need to institute a single standard for reckless sexual behavior. Vitter has flagrantly and arrogantly violated it. Please force Vitter to resign NOW. It's way overdue to the shame of the U.S. Senate.

Anastasia commented on the petition |How much more demeaningly racist and sexist could a message be. "Just be good little girls and go raise those 'future leaders', and never mind your own life, because you don't count and we don't think you're smart enough to know if you can raise a child effectively at this point. And if the child falls prey to poverty, violence and the destruction of public education which will pretty much preclude anyone not born wealth from being any sort of leader? Well, that's all YOUR fault!"
This type of message is as deceptive as the one about how we're killing all our future workers who pay our Social security. Children born to women who don't want to give birth are LESS likely to be successful "leaders" or successful anything else and more likely to COST society. Especially when we are gutting education for all but the privileged, I find this type of campaign offensive to the point of being immoral.

Anastasia commented on the article |"Charisma" is in the eye of the beholder, and the beholders are changing their minds. I just spotted the latest poll numbers out of Alaska.
http://www.haysresearch.com/oc090730.htm
For the first time, she's sunk below 50% when only a little more than a year ago, something like 80% of Alaskans approved of her. And she's net negative now — more Alaskans DON'T approve of her than do. If relatively conservative Alaskans don't like her, how effective a spokesperson do you think she'd be in Massachusetts or Illinois or Oregon?

This is indeed one of the key issues: Palin has set herself up as the poster-parent of child with disabilities, but she did advocate cutting resources for others, which is a core part of her ideology. She constantly talks about families taking care of their own problems but not every family is supportive and not every family has an income of over $200,000 a year as the Palins do. So philosophically, she is unable to advocate for help for other families with children like hers.
I see a few other problems: she is so polarizing that many people will be turned off the cause by her being a mouthpiece. And she is exceptionally inarticulate (look up her "farewell to Alaska" speech and see if it makes any sense), and it wouldn't be too long before something she inadvertently babbled would become a huge controversy.
I like the "kumbaya, let's-all-join-hands" spirit of this, but I think a Palin spokesmanship would be difficult and unproductive.
