Why don’t people like you merely make an effort to understand she is different from you, expresses herself, obviously, differently from you, but that does not an idiot make. People are different. You must learn to be more tolerant of people different from you. You need to read the book, “Please Understand Me”. Sorry the author’s name escapes me, but it was written to explain the Myers-Briggs Psycological Types, of which there are 16 types! If you are an ESTJ, lets hope you are not married to an INFP. That would be disasterous! However, this book helps you live with your opposites by explaining them to you.

We cannot simply enthusiastically support every woman regardless of how she feels about basic women’s rights. And I am NOT talking about JUST abortion and lesbian rights. The basic question I have for Judge Sotomayor is: “Do you think there was sexism, misogyny and a lack of respect shown toward Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin in the 2008 elections?” Her answer will tell me all I need to know.

Sarah Pallin is an “idiot”? Really? What’s your IQ, oh mighty mouse of logical accidents?

For your info, Gov Palin negotiated billion-dollar oil pipeline deals with the Canadian Government and she was a hell of a tough negotiator. She has had ten times the executive experience that Obummer (Hussein Barry?) has had via Community Organizing and bashing his opponent Sen. Alice Palmer using crooked means to eliminate her from the ballot in ’96 in Chicago.
I may not be a political fan of Gov. Palin, but please leave your lack of intelligence locked up somewhere and not offer it for blatant display. It aint’ pretty, sweetie! Grow up!

to what degree was Hillary vilified and bashed by both extremist right-wing nutters of the conspiratorial cookoo mindset and Gov. Palin vilified by the Obamyopic crowd…..
I recall Sarah Palin saying before she was nominated by McCain that “Hillary Clinton should be able to take the sexist slurs because it’s part ofthe political game” This is on an interview with a radio station in Alaska. Once she was nominated and the wild sexist frat-boys of the media and the Axelrord Nazis started vilifying her family and passing all that slander about her, Sarah changed her mind and agreed that HIllary suffered plenty through the ordeal of her campaign.
Funny, but the truth was clear that both Sarah and Hillary respected each other and refused to bash each other over a dumb ideology and for political gain. Unlike that Ventroloquist’s Dummy now in the White House!!

2012 can’t come too soon.

Bush went to Yale, too, didn’t he? So, Yale is the seal of approval now, when applied to someone else? I thought Bush was an “idiot” too (the favorite term of those incapable of reasoned analysis).

BTW, Sotomayor has ugly hair and thick ankles. Palin’s smart and attractive. I like her better.

[Actually, I have no idea about Sotomayor's ankles or her hair, just thought to throw some Palin chum out on the water to watch you piranha boil the water again. It's amusing.]

Yale Law doesn’t award grades. What’s your source for her class “rank?”

Perhaps there’s another ranking mechanism of which I’m not aware; just asking.

Thanks.

Elections have consequences. I do not trust BO and in that regard I question HIS judgement. I do not understand BO’s coment about a nominee needing to be “empathetic” as part of his choices.

Wow, Teak, I don’t either. That One wouldn’t know empathy if it were defined for him on his TelePrompTer. What he probably meant to say, between the perfunctory ers, ahs, and ums, was that HE needed some sympathy for his tireless devotion to duty pandering and for all the difficult decisions plane flights he had to make.

In Center for Reproductive Law and Policy v. Bush,[50] Sotomayor upheld the Bush administration’s implementation of the Mexico City Policy which requires foreign organizations receiving U.S. funds to “neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations”. Sotomayor held that the policy did not constitute a violation of equal protection, as the government “is free to favor the anti-abortion position over the pro-choice position, and can do so with public funds”.

Kudos to Wikipedia …. (Note to MoDo: see how easy that can be?)

Palin is an idiot.

Saying something that stupid in a public forum makes you the idiot, Gomer.
