為什麽民主黨不遺餘力地要摧毀佩林？

這幾天我在想一個問題，就是為什麽民主黨，尤其是民主黨婦女精英分子，很多支持民主黨的婦女選民，包括擁有傳統思想的華人職業婦女（北美壇也有一個算一個），會如此這般不依不饒地攻擊佩林。對她的攻擊超過了對麥肯的攻擊.

讀了美國知名政治評論家DICK　MORRIS合寫的這篇文章後，我豁然開朗：原來佩林的出現觸及了民主黨的根基，對他們來說，麥肯隻是贏不贏奧巴馬的問題，而佩林不打壓下去，將會動搖民主黨的最大的票倉和前途。

他們不能容忍他們發起的女權運動, 會竟然要被思想上保守, 家庭和睦, 事業成功的共和黨美女州長佩林就這麽給劫持了。


Palin Slams Expose the Real Democrats

For two weeks, Democrats and their media allies have leveled scorching fire at Sarah Palin. It's not having much effect, but they keep at it anyway.

The latest Fox News poll shows Palin with a 54-27 favorable/unfavorable ratio, which compares well with Barack Obama's 57-36, John McCain's 60-33 and Joe Biden's 51-29. (Of the four, she's the most popular).

Why do Democrats feel so threatened? They've even stopped attacking McCain and President Bush to launch a vicious and sexist barrage at her that would normally make a feminist angry and a Democrat blush.

Basically, it's this: John McCain only endangers Democratic chances of victory this November, but Sarah Palin is an existential threat to the Democratic Party.

She threatens a core element of the party's base — women.

When African-Americans like Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, or Condi Rice rise to prominence as a Republican, they endanger the Democratic coalition. So would a Republican labor leader.

And so, above all, does the woman Republican running for vice president.

Democrats can't stomach seeing the feminist movement's impetus for greater female political participation and empowerment "hijacked" by a pro-life woman who espouses traditional values. They must obliterate her, lest her popularity eat away at their party's core.

So the Democrats are hysterical in their attacks on her. South Carolina's Democratic Party chairwoman, Carol Fowler (wife of a national party chairman), said that the only qualification Palin had for vice president was that she hadn't had an abortion. Tabloids are digging up dirt on Palin's children. And liberal bloggers have suggested that Palin would neglect her children if she were elected (while the Democratic candidate has young children at home, too).

That liberals would resort to such blatant sexism shows their desperation.

But the Fox News poll of Sept. 8-9 indicates a deeper reality of Palin's popularity. On the question of which of the four candidates best understands what day-to-day life is like in America, Palin finished first, with 33 percent. (Obama drew 32 percent, McCain 17 percent and Biden 10 percent.)

She's not popular because she's a radical feminist or pro-choice advocate. It's because she understands what it's like to be a woman in 21st century America.

She's never ascended to the elite, so she doesn't need to stoop to conquer as most well-heeled feminist leaders must. She lives far from the plastic pseudo-reality where a fossilized ideology substitutes for human compassion and empathy. As such, she rises above the slogans of both the left and the right and proposes to bring to Washington a dose of reality — a taste of real life.

She may become the first woman in national office, yet the Democrats, feminists and liberals can't control her, and that burns them up.

Elections come and go, but Palin is a far more fundamental threat to the Democratic Party. And that's why they fear her so

This is total BS. Palin is a crazy Christian extremism. The little town she was mayor for charged women who were being raped $2000 for police examination. Republicans been shielding her off from media coz she is so dumb. Look at the 3 interviews she 's done so far. she really thinks she has more foreign policy experience by living in Alaska the closest content to Russia. A VP candidate who does not know what Bush Doctrine is. Democratic does not worry about an total idiot anymore. BTW, everybody knows FOX is the right wing Republican news station.
