I do not believe you, including your oath, for the reasons I already gave. What is more, this essay was not about Palin but about the reasons for the irrational hatred of her. Even if she turned out to be a very bad politician, your reason to hate her, which you gave away within five minutes of starting the discussion, is nothing to do with that. Conversely, they fall within the area of my essay - that is, Palinophobia and its real reason. What you cannot stand is not a Republican candidate for President - if Condi Rice had ran you would have regarded her at least with mild opposition - but the picture of the five children, including the Down's baby.
