Maybe because we fear that there are Americans who think people like her are people to admire. I can't find a thing about her to admire in her professional or personal life- not a role model in any way.

I wonder what all of those folks think that voted for Obama...it is hard to understand how so many could have been so deceived because they refused to look at his professional and personal life...he said one thing, and really represented something else...at least with Palin, you know where she is coming from, you might not like it, because she believes in a different kind of America... than you do...but then there are many others like her that believe that way too. That's what makes our country great...we all have a right to our own beliefs and also when disappointed we can correct any mistakes we have made in our judgement at the voting booth.

Many people(passive women and low testosterone men) dislike a strong woman.I do not necessarily think she is a presidential strength(and will not get my vote) but I do respect her strength as a person and as a woman....Many Palin haters are purely jealous of her.

Passive is not a term anyone will ever use to describe me that knows me or has done business with me. I found her hypocritical as she elvolved in the national spotlight. You can dig back through these threads during the presidential race and watch my opinion change of her. Nothing is ever her fault, ever. I have never publicly heard her admit fault in anything. That sets off alarms for me, male or female. I would have loved to have been able to vote for a female vp. I would love to have a real, strong, smart female to vote for as president. I'd love to vote for a woman that has three nuts made of brass, but it's not her.

I do believe he has admitted many mistakes made in his youth as well as being humbled just recently on national tv. And I do wish his balls were bigger and more plentiful, but Palin was my deciding factor when I voted. I was on the fence till she came out of her shell.

And there is another strong female right now in politics that was described as a "punching bag for republicans" for the way she gets policy through. I'm sure though that none of the gentlemen on the board have a problem with their testosterone because they don't like Nancy. But then again, I'm human, and I can be wrong;-)

Ps. Thank you for the civil response.:wave:

I don't think people have issues with her being a strong woman. Actually I am curious of your definition of a strong woman, as I believe there is a big difference between being strong and being loud and overbearing. I think people mostly have issues that she is an utter loon and shouldn't be in a position of power.

Ps. My testosterone is doing quite well.... lol

I'll admit if it had been say McCain/Romney vs Obama/Biden, I don't know where I would have gone. I liked Romney. I liked his health care ideas. I liked McCain until he went wonkers on the campaign trail and went all unrouge.
I was not a fan of Hillary, although I like her much better now, that I feel like I get to really see "her". I find myself liking Huckabee in his candid moments lately as well. If Palin gets the nod, we'll get voter turn out on both sides, but Obama will get 4 more. Who knows what 2012 will hold?

I can say one very positive thing about our president that I don't think anyone can disagree with. He LOVES his wife and daughters. He is a role model for all men where the women in his life are concerned. It's palatable through the pictures. All of them. I can't remember ever seeing a President so in love with his family. Talk about family values.

I don't think we judge our candidates through their sex, but through their policy and it's really about whether their policy will affect you and those you love, not if they're wearing a skirt.

And to go back to the theme of the original post. It would be unfortunate if me and/or my loved ones got blowed up. SP gets in the WH, the probability that she gets hopped up on some moose chili and blows me up, I feel, could be highly likely.

As a feminist, I object to equating the size & number of balls/nuts/gonads/etc. to courage?women can be just as courageous as men without Any balls or nuts. I object to Sarah Palin's suggesting that anyone ?man up!? She should ?woman up? & stop thinking that women have to ?man up? to be courageous. I object to Arnold Schwartzenegger calling anyone a ?girly man.? Common guys, this is 21st century America, not 13th century Persia. Testosterone is not necessary for courage or clear thinking.

When I get too much estrogen, I am not nice, but I can say I wish he had three ovaries if that's better. Sorry.:wave:

Or maybe intestinal fortitude...😀

I kinda prefer political leaders that make decisions using their brains rather than the parts of the anatomy ya'll have been espousing. It's suppose to be an excercise in intelligence, not bravado.

I think it takes a good balance of both to be an effective leader of people. :idontno::wave:

We can talk about strong women all we want, but regarding Sarah Palin, I'm firmly convinced that if she looked like, say . . . Hillary Clinton, we'd never have heard of her. <If only. . . . sigh>

It's just the lack of substance, ya know? She's the Paris Hilton of politicians...What ever happened to her commentator job on Fox? Did they finally figure out she couldn't think for herself?

Give me Condeleeza Rice, Elizabeth Dole, or Meghan McCain any day - they have a freaking clue and some class.

Palin is a political moron and the fact that ANYONE seriously thinks she could be President for a DAY makes me wake up screaming.
