Way to go Sarah! Liberals love to twist what you stand for, but you’ll win in the end.

Well, about half of women are anti-abortion, pro-censorship, anti-stem cell research, sex-education fearing, evolution-doubting women who don't mind guns. (The secessionist charge won't stick.) To be sure, most of them were never planning on voting for Hillary, but they exist.
The best anti-Palin charge here is how ~extreme~ her anti-abortion position is (and it is extreme: no exceptions).

The candidates may be historic, but Americans are just as dumb and divided as ever! The problem, I dare say, isn’t at the top

Grokenstein:
Not that either of those writers are voting for Palin, but yeah, you’ve got a point. I prefer Obama’s policies to Hillary’s (unlike those writers) as well as Hillary’s to Palin’s (like those writers), but some of the rhetoric is definitely misogynistic and elitist.
