Lotta talk about Lipstick these past few days. For Obama to use that particular analogy seems a little bit like a personal attack, what I would like him to respond to though is Sarahs claim that he is more concerned about “reading our enemies their rights” than in prosecuting criminals and preventing terrorist attacks.
One of the reasons I love sarah is because she strikes me as a fierce Mama who if her children were being threatened would not even hesitate to blow a predators head off. I think Obama would want to sit down and have a little chat with an obviously threatening person.
As to who would do a better job of keeping America safe, I’ll go with the beautiful woman wearing lipstick!!!

Bearing Witness to Virtue
Defending the honor of those in uniform.
By David French
Diyala Province, Iraq — Every now and then I get e-mails from friends and family members with subject lines like “Can you believe this?” or “This will make you mad!” Invariably they link to some form of radical rant that either slanders soldiers or so completely departs from the reality I see and experience on the ground in Iraq that I laugh out loud. I typically read and dismiss these messages. In a nation of 300 million, there will always be “those people” — individuals so consumed with ignorance, dominated by hatred, and obsessed with the political cause of the moment that they lose all perspective. But as I prepare to wrap up my deployment and head back home, I’ve changed my mind.
We simply cannot let lies pass unopposed.

Parent Dish: Sarah Palin – babies, lipstick, and politics
“Regardless of your party affiliation, or how you plan to vote in November, Sarah Palin’s speech at the Republican National Convention last night was a HUGE step forward for moms, and her unlikely rise from the PTA is, in my opinion, her strongest credential.
To me, Palin is the mom at the school board meeting who stands up for what is right with a winning combination of intelligence, charm, and authenticity. Last night, she did what previously seemed impossible in American politics — delivering lethal zingers without evoking the B-word. Both men and women like her. Her opponents fear her in part because they can’t help liking her.
She’s like no other female politician I have ever seen, both tough and unreservedly feminine and maternal — affectionately holding her baby after having just delivered one of the most important speeches of this election. In one short week, I believe that Palin has ushered in a new ere of “mom power” leaving the old guard female politicians like Hillary and Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson looking as stiff and dated as their white, male counterparts. Beauty queen, moose-hunter, mom, and politician — modern moms can relate to the seemingly contradictory aspects of her biography and the complexity of issues she is dealing with as a parent and a politician.
Yes, she made history, but I think she has also made a case for the value of a mother’s heart and strength in politics. And she is an inspiration to all moms who are trying to make a difference in their communities. How many of us moms have seen a situation at school, in our town or city that we have wanted to change? Maybe you jumped in, like Palin, and faced down the status quo, but how many more times have we sat back and waited for someone else to do it (we’re too busy, right?)? Or, started to take on a problem only to back out when the heat turned up and the criticism turned personal? I’ve been there and I believe many of you have too.
Palin’s appeal to women, and to moms in particular, is that, regardless of party affiliation, she really is just like us, and she is proof that being who we are can deliver very successful results. No whining, no androgynous pantsuits or posturing to look “as tough as a man.” Sarah says put on your lipstick and take on the world!</blockquote>
