Isn't that what makes our country so great? Have we lost sight of the fact that our founding fathers (who had MANY faults themselves) were so brilliant that they made it possible for us to do so? They were freakin rock stars. <BR/><BR/>Everyone needs tp get over themselves. We have to agree to disagree. It's the foundation of our country - it allows us to be great, and free. It's the whole point!<BR/><BR/>I am with Vanessa. I too do not agree with much of Palin's ideology - but I have got maximum respect for her as a working mom and a woman, and to take on such a challenge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16668447.post-40123416950581133462008-09-11T18:08:00.000-07:002008-09-11T18:08:00.000-07:00Sorry - forgot to sign my name on that last one!-V...Sorry - forgot to sign my name on that last one!<BR/><BR/>-Vanessavik4rehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00946790270306971260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16668447.post-56785643231587536272008-09-11T18:06:00.000-07:002008-09-11T18:06:00.000-07:00I'm sorry that you lost a friend over this.

I too feel very passionately about what's going on in the political arena right now, but I also agree that it's gotten too dirty to feel good about. As you probably know, I come from the left side . . . but as strongly as I'm against most of Palin's ideology, I can respect her as a working mom and woman. I read this column after you posted it, and it's definitely food for thought. Lately I've been worried that my mind has become so closed that I can't even entertain the other side. At least now I know that I can still open it a little ;) Anyway, this is probably a bit too much for a blog comment, but . . . oh well --You can delete it if you need tovik4rehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00946790270306971260noreply@blogger.com
