<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">My goodness, Mr.
Crabtree – your oversized ego has steered you wrong again: it was Palin
I was referring to, not you. During her confused, nonsensical, and even
cowardly “I quit” speech, she herself said she’s not a quitter.
That’s what I find hilarious – that her intellectual capacity is so
scandalously deficient she’s unable to see why professing to not be a quitter
while, in fact, actively quitting just doesn’t measure up to any kind of
higher office. Poor little Shotgun Sarah just can’t see where she went
oh, so wrong.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">And then there are
people like you, Mr. Crabtree, who think if they screw their own eyes tightly
shut the rest of us won’t see her glaring failures, either. Lucky for
this nation, most of us know better. You really are easy to please,
aren’t you? As long as she’s anti-choice, you’ll willingly follow Palin
into the fires of Liars’ Hell, all the while trying to fault those of us who
think truth, honesty, bravery, and integrity are virtues. In your world,
paying lip service to “family values” trumps actually having ethical or moral
values. How very sad for you, although I do believe the willingness to
swallow such double-talk is one of the biggest problems this country
has.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Take, for
instance, the shrill insistence of Palinbots – and of Palin herself – that of
<B>course</B> she’d be able to be an effective VP while also being a wife and
mother, and most especially a good mother to her special needs infant
Trig. Yet in her “I quit” speech, she specifically cited Trig needing
her as one of the reasons she was quitting being governor of the great state
of Alaska.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Would special
needs Trig have needed her any less if the Palin-McCain ticket had won and
Palin was VP? Of course not, but my hunch is she would have been willing
to continue to ignore his needs if she was the VP. Either that, or she’d
be quitting <B>that</B> now. As it is, all Palin accomplished was
depriving that precious baby of his particularly special need for a 24/7
mother for the time she was on the campaign trail putting her career
aspirations ahead of her baby. That’s <B>not</B> what I’d call “family
values” and, frankly, it’s quite telling that you
disagree.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">I can confidently
say that if Hillary Clinton who had done what Palin did with respect to her
baby, you’d have rabidly attacked her for putting her political aspirations
ahead of her baby’s needs.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
