I am an average american mom and I RESENT the stereo type she is portraying me

[greenbriar]

Sarah

I don't say "heck"

I speak with ALL of the syllables and you dipshit are one batty catty bitch

[greenbriar]

1. I don't say darn right either

and I don't smirk or wink

[greenbriar]

4. if people think all women act like this

they are sorely mistaken

[malta blue]

2. hey - ditto!

:applause::applause:

[greenbriar]

3. she is a pathetic condesending bitch

and this is coming from a bitch so I can say it and I am not being sexist

[sandnsea]

aw heck 'n begosh

I don't know how Joe stood it. I really don't.

[BelgianMadCow]

10. He had some incredulous grins

that maybe alleviated the strain of keeping his laugh in.

[AlCzervik]

5. also a mom here and i have 0 in common with her besides gender.

[bdamomma]

14. she is a phony and a BS'er.

I do not like her, and she is not serious, thinks the position is going to be fun, she is not qualified.

[AlCzervik]

16. i think the major reason i don't like her is that i don't think she likes or respects women.

[yy4me]

34. You forgot to add that she is a liar. I heard her say that she is

an advocate of womens rights. Sure. Given 5 seconds, she'd blow Roe v Wade out the window. I am a woman and a grandmother. It is my decision to have done or to do anything with my rights, anything I want. Although this issue could no longer involve me physically, I would be very concerned for every other woman in the country.

No-one seems to be picking up on that point very much. I almost jumped out of my chair.

[greenbriar]

35. so true

she seems to forget she is a woman unless she is using that fact to wink and flirt her way out of lies


I HATE people like that

[progressivebydesign]

6. She's trying to channel Patty Murray, the original Mom in Tennis Shoes candidate..

and Caribou Barbie is sucking marvelously at it!

[FloridaGrl]

7. I have more knowledge of issues of the day

[vanderBeth]

8. I agree.

Besides, not all average Americans are small-town and rural.

Here's to urban middle America. :toast:

[medicswife]

9. That's how I felt too. I felt insulted. Completely. nt

[greenbriar]

11. I am sure a LOT of women are insulted

I am seriously insulted

[1corona4u]

12. I hear ya...my friend caled me in the middle of the debate, which she never does...

and said that if she said HECK one more time, she would SCREAM. Women will NOT like her.

15. I'm a Mom from middle America

...which, btw, is nowhere near Alaska, and I am not the superficial, intellectually incurious, self-righteous harpy that she is. I know that the quote about the shining city on a hill comes from a Puritan minister's sermon from the 1600s not Ronald Fucking Reagan, you damn wannabe.

God I hate this woman.

[Irishonly]

17. I Agree

It made me mad. She doesn't answer questions and her attempts at humor are childish at best, moronic at its worst.

[mscuedawg]

18. I've never uttered the words "you betcha"...golly gee...

[Left Is Write]

37. Coming from Minnesota, I have said "you bet" many times in my life.

I also end sentences with the word "then" and I say "uff da" with a certain amount of frequency.

However, I am intelligent enough and professional enough to know how to moderate my speech and use language appropriate to the given situation.

[Hansel]

41. As a fellow Minnesotan, amen.

The thing that really bugs me about Palin is that her accent is so fake. I think that she is another one of those people who watched Fargo too many times and thinks people in the heartland really talk like that. She and the pundits think it's endearing and that's how to relate to us. I think it's insulting and condescending, and makes her look like a dumbass.

She gets more like Bush everyday. Her folksy accent is about as authentic as his Texas drawl.

[TNMOM]

19. I don't say "doggone.." (unless I'm making fun of politicians like Palin)

[demobabe]

20. The correct word is "you" - not "ya" - Sarah

I can't imagine a US President speaking in colloquialisms to foreign leaders (and not knowing what they're talking about when not on script).

[greenbriar]

21. I so agree

and if men think all women are like that , we are further back than we ever thought

[ShortnFiery]

22. Reminds me of the "anti-intellect" campaign of Hitler and his minions. It's chilling and

she's a vile creature. :puke: I'm ashamed that Palin is of my gender. :(

[hamsterjill]

23. Right on!

I feel the same way. Her behavior tonight was straight from the good ole boy handbook of "how a chick outta act". It was degrading to mothers and all women, generally, who expect to be taken seriously.

[emmadoggy]

24. I can't even find the words to properly describe

how much I DESPISE her. My reaction to her has been visceral from day one.

She is horrid, despicable, deplorable...... I hate her. And I didn't think I could hate anyone more than the shrub.

[xxqqqzme]

29. nightmare of the future

'And, doggoneit, I jus want ya all ta know that the state of the union is doin' really, really great' (wink, wink).

[yy4me]

39. You forgot, slight lick of lower lip w/tongue. What was that about?

She repulses me. Her body motions, her expression, her speech. Her non-intellect. Get that voice out of my head==be gone with you, Ms Palin, Go hone to your family and start to read some good books, starting with grammar and sentence structure. By the time you are a little older, you night tackle a novel or two. Take a course in public speaking, not public babble. See an ophthalmologist or neurologist about that wink-twitch, or is it just a flirt with the male population of America. I can assure you, you lost a lot of the women last night with your pseudo-cuteness.
Grrrrrrrrr..............

[political_Dem]

25. What disgusted me was that she didn't sound like an international leader.

Instead, she sounded low class and crass. My mom spotted it right away, when she said, "I don't want my leaders talking like that. She sounds like she comes off of a street corner."

Lol. Fancy that.

[greenbriar]

26. Oh too true

spot on

[cjsmom44]

27. RE: Yes so true

I agree I have been a homemaker and mom for 23 years, I have 2 college degrees and I am disgusted with how Sarah Palin is portraying the "mom" image...I don't say heck, I don't wink like a beauty queen contestant...I am politically active and intelligent..I am a feminist AND a homemaker by choice...and I am dismayed at the stereotype that she has portrayed. I am utterly insulted...

[SCDem]

28. and I don't worship or praise "Joe Six Pack"

Isn't he the guy who has three illigetimate children with three different women and does not pay child support and does not have a dependable job and who still lives with his parents?

[Cresent City Kid]

30. We HAVE a president Joe 6-pack

How's that workin' out fer ya?

[earth mom]

31. I hate how she thinks she is so cute and smart with her folksy talk.

:puke:

[crazy_vanilla]

42. she would be an embarrassement to the Office of the President

but then again, we have Bush ...

[GoesTo11]

32. How do you think she talks in private?

"Goddamn it, Todd, get that slut daughter of ours in her so I can smack her for fucking up my campaign!"

You Betcha!

[greenbriar]

36. that was what I was wondering as well

bet she is a nasty ole bitch to her family


either that or the whole family talks like that

[onlyadream]

33. She poured it on *heavy*

there was a moment when it slipped away though and she said "track" the correct way, without emphasizing the 'a' (as she did previously in the debate). That's when I knew for sure that she was pouring it on for whatever reason. What a bimbo. The republicans think the American people are just going to like her and vote for her because she's so god-darn cute (wink wink). Please, with things the way they are, give us some credit.

[crazy_vanilla]

38. Sarah "Logorrhea" Palin

I am a city mom and a proud book and newspaper/magazine reader. I do not hunt. I have no guns or rifles in my home. I believe that preserving lives means stopping the wars and providing healthcare for all. I graduated from ONE college.

You do not speak for me. I pity your children and your constituents. You are limited, shrill, uneducated, and a puppet in the hands of scary people who want to take away our rights and send our sons to wars they happily start to feed the arms complex.

You do not speak for me. You do not represent me. I want nothing to do with you. So just pick up your shrill, verbal diarrhea self and GO AWAY!

[KayLaw]

40. She and I are not alike.

I'm a very traditional cookie-baking mother. Stay at home, volunteer in the school clinic, classroom . . . all that and more. I really wish I could like her. I sometimes think I like what she pretends to be.

I, too, have a disabled child. She and her husband should be focusing on what they can do for that baby to help him overcome all his obstacles. They seem to view the boy's challenges as nothing - no big deal!

I see myself as typical mom, a lover of lipstick and makeup, a girly-girl . . . and nothing like that. . . whatever she is.

[youthere]

43. here here.

I am an average American mom and I don't know ANY OTHER average American moms who even slightly resemble that goblin.
