THE IMPORTANCE OF TRIG BEING
“Trig Paxson Van Palin—pronounced by his mother “beautiful” and “perfect” and applauded at center stage of the Republican convention—smashed the chromosomal barrier. And it was all the more moving for the innocence and indifference of this 4-month-old civil rights leader. …civil rights protections for people with Down syndrome have rapidly eroded over the last few decades.”

DID ABC & GIBSON USE CAMERA TRICKERY TO BELITTLE GOV. PALIN?
“Blog makes a compelling case that they did just that. Using still shots of the Gibson interview with Palin compared to similar Gibson interviews with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, it seems this blogger has proven it to be an open and shut case of manipulation of the viewer. The writer shows how ABC used special camera placements and lenses to make Governor Palin seem small and Charlie Gibson seem overpowering and large by comparison.”

PRO-LIFE SARAH HAS WIPED THE SMILE OFF LIBERAL FACES – The Catholic Herald
“Now the United States faces a situation in which a groundswell of public opinion might react against the overwhelmingly liberal consensus of the intellectual elite,
this election has brought new rules of engagement to American politics.”
“Sarah Palin, dragged from Catholicism by her parents when she was 12, a former Pentecostalist and now part of the growing number of “post-denominational” Christians in the United States, still knows that abortion is wrong, and says so. She has all the makings of a cradle Catholic who might come home. And if a McCain/Palin ticket were to succeed, and held the power to legislate in Congress, Roe v Wade could be history, and the pandering relativism of modern political discourse supplanted by an honest discussion of right and wrong. That would reflect the instincts and beliefs of the majority of Americans, and on its own it should be enough to make any American Catholic, indeed any Christian Jew or Muslim, vote Republican.”

PALIN POWERS ABORTION GROUPS’ FUNDRAISING – Yahoo
“Last week NARAL Pro-Choice America had the highest grossing week since it began fundraising for the 2008 election, according to staffers, raising more than $120,000 from two e-mail alerts. Planned Parenthood also reported high fundraising numbers from e-mail appeals.”
“The same held true on the other side of the divide. The Susan B. Anthony List, a group that helps promote female candidates who oppose abortion, said its weekly fundraising tripled last week. SBA says they are now on target to reach their $6 million yearly budget…”,

WHY FEMINISTS HATE SARAH PALIN – Wall Street Journal
“Left-wing feminists have a hard time dealing with strong, successful conservative women in politics such as Margaret Thatcher. Sarah Palin seems to have truly unhinged more than a few, eliciting a stream of vicious, often misogynist invective.
Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman.”

CHRISTINE M. FLOWERS: FEMINISTS’ BIGGEST NIGHTMARE: STEPFORD SARAH
“…what’s surprising is that women who’ve always preached sisterhood are so willing to turn their backs on such a successful disciple. Pro-choice women seem to be genetically incapable of supporting any woman who doesn’t share their views on that single topic. That person could agree with them on 99 percent of the issues, but if they are heretics to the reproductive cause, they’re shunned.”

MARKETWATCH COLUMNIST: ‘SARAH PALIN PHENOMENON IS DOOMED’
“Doomed, I tell ya! DOOMED! But it’s not because of her lack of foreign policy experience or her deer-in-the-headlights look during part of her interview last week with ABC’s Charles Gibson. You mean that heavily edited interview with Charles Gibson in which just about everything that would put Palin in a favorable light was cut out?
The primary reason why the Palin bubble will burst is that the media will decide that they are bored with her. They’ll need to move to shine a light on a fresh issue or individual.”

NYT’S PALIN PANIC: FOUR HIT PIECES ON ALASKA GOVERNOR IN ONE DAY
“Wow. Talk about hateful stuff. On the flipside, the utter state of panic at the Times—and in the media at large—is so encompassing that it is making journalists go against their own best interests. After all, every day a press member spends talking about Palin and NOT Obama is a victory for McCain. As such, the Arizona Senator and his campaign staff are loving every minute of this.”

DEBUNKING THE ‘BIMBO DOCTRINE’ – Terence Corcoran, National Post
“With Tina Fey’s Saturday Night Live portrayal of Sarah Palin, U. S. feminist-liberalism has come round to define one of its core beliefs: The Bimbo Doctrine. Any political woman who doesn’t sound and look like either a cynical wisecracking babbling babe on The View or a frowsy academic from the Council on Foreign Relations is, under the Bimbo Doctrine.”
“…the Bush Doctrine question is a trick question. There is no Bush Doctrine, or certainly no single Bush policy that can be labelled as the defining “doctrine” of the George W. Bush administration. So when Gibson asked Palin whether she agreed with the Bush Doctrine, and she asked in return, “In what respect, Charlie?” it was a perfectly sensible and accurate question.”

“OBAMA: STAND UP AND SLUG THEM – Diane Francis, National Post
McCain sidekick selection, Sarah Palin is not a candidate. She’s a tactic. McCain has lousy judgment in selecting his running-mate, Mrs. Palin, a cocky rookie who’s had a cake-walk in Alaska only because oil revenue surpluses allowed her to hand out $1,200 checks to everybody. Her choice by McCain is a contemptuous rip-off of TV’s American Idol as Roger Ebert says eloquently.”
