The liberals hate Palin because she is a conservative, attractive and Christian women with a nice family and handsome husband. Liberal women burn with jealously and spew hateful venom. Don't count Palin out. She can champion consersvative causes and raise large amounts of money for pro-life and pro-family candidates as a private citizen. It is funny how the liberals just can't stop talking about her. They despise her but at the same time are drawn to her.

So that is why the Liberals hate her? OK so we know those are pretty much the reasons the Neocons love her how about why Conservatives hate her (hate is probably not the right word but just following your tone)?

You and Pwnerer must be joined at the hip (or maybe the same person?). Palin was a divisive figure during the campaign, who told blatant lies at her rallies that could've ended very badly. To be specific, she manipulated her base by attempting to build toward a race war in our country. For Palin, the end justified the means and her means was to become the vice president of the United States. I'm sure McCain dying while in office was NOT a distant thought in her mind, which may be why she was pushing you guys so tenaciously. And liberals don't hate her, we just don't like her, and for good reason. Thank goodness she has given us so must ammunition to use against her if she does run for high office in the future.

I find perhaps more telling than anything that the very two people whom you would expect to hail Governor Palin as GOP's next presidential hero markedly do not bring up her name when speculating what's next for Republicans.

Governor Palin's former running mate, Senator McCain, leaves her name out of it and so does Governor Palin's "VP campaign minder", the articulate, educated, intelligent, smart and well-read Republican mover and shaker, Nicolle Wallace, an accomplished woman whom I predict will be there long after the Alaskan soon-to-be-former governor wink-wink is gone & forgotten.

The liberals hate Palin because she is a conservative, attractive and Christian women with a nice family and handsome husband.
I don't think many liberals 'hate' her. I consider myself a liberal and I think it would be a terrible, terrible blow to this country if she got anywhere near a position of national power. Most of her views are far out of line with mine. I think she is an ignoramus when it comes to domestic or foreign issues. I think she is a stooge for the dominionism movement.

I don't dislike her prima facie because she is conservative.

I don't think she is attractive. She's too old for me anyway. And I don't dislike her for this.

I don't dislike her because she is a Christian. Don't play the persecution card.

I don't dislike her because she has a family. Such a comment is insipid.

Liberal women burn with jealously and spew hateful venom.
Like conservative women about Hillary Clinton?

Sometimes dislike is just dislike. Sometimes a person represents something you strongly do not personally want to see come to fruition. It's not deep-seated jealousy, any more than you are jealous about Obama or Biden.

Don't count Palin out.
So we're not to count her out, but at the same time liberals should stop talking about her? You can't have it both ways. You can't be all "liberals are obsessed with the poor woman" and at the same time be "btw, Palin is a force for the future".

People who aren't counted out necessarily get talked about.
People who get talked about aren't necessarily counted in.

She can champion consersvative causes and raise large amounts of money for pro-life and pro-family candidates as a private citizen.
If people are prepared to listen to her or give money to causes she supports, all power to them. I won't be one of them.

And pro-family? I thought that misnomer had died out long ago.

It is funny how the liberals just can't stop talking about her. They despise her but at the same time are drawn to her.
People just can't stop talking about Hitler either.

DID I JUST GODWIN? OH YES I DID!

'The liberals', 'liberal women'. Life must be pretty easy when there's no need to divide groups into individuals.

Same with the 'pro-life' and 'pro-family' stuff. As if "the liberals" are anti-life and anti-family. Give me a break, you're making a fool of yourself.
