"I've run across evidence, for instance, that as mayor, she tried to force a librarian in her town to remove certain books from the library. Any confirmation of that?" Ron Davies

Yes, it is true. The documentation is not hard to find. But, you understand, she asked it only in "a rhetorical sense". enquote

"Really, I dunno what was scarier-- her, or the wildly enthusisastic reception she got from the floor." WYSIWYG

Isn't that the truth. If the audience and the speaker had been dressed differently I could have believed that the event and the reaction were from a different time and place...

"It's interesting to me that so many women have been so anxious to see a woman elected to a responsible national position but when it becomes possible, that's really not what they want at all. They only want a LIBERAL woman to be elected to such a position. Is there a bit of hypocrisy there or what?" DougR

Doug, you don't have much respect for women, do you. Why on earth would you believe that the only thing that mattered to women was that the nominee be female? We- and I am more generous than you for I include men in this - want someone who is qualified, someone who will lead this nation in the direction it should go, someone with intelligence, someone who understands the mess we are in, someone who will command respect and good will from other leaders and will extend it to them in return.

I listened to most of Palin's speech- sorry, couldn't stomach all of it. Let me say that in my opinion it was a mean, pandering effort. Before this, except for certain parts of her record in Alaska, I wasn't particularly anti-Palin, I had no dog in the hunt.

But tonight my belief is that she is capable of doing anything Karl Rove and Rush Limbaugh can think up.
