Why would I want to do that, Anne? I'm unsure why you keep taking this thread which you supposedly started to discuss McCain despising woman and Palin not only despising men but running her campaign on the Book of Esther and turning it into the personal.
I don't take "dares," Anne. I've got nothing I feel the need to prove to anyone. My opinions are my opinions and that's all they are. Anyone is welcome to agree or disagree with them as they see fit - there's really no need for you or anyone to throw schoolyard taunts around as I don't much care one way or the other. This is a discussion board and most discussions take place on the premise that people hold opposing opinions and views and are willing and able to discuss them intelligently and logically and that they will be capable of backing them up with facts when and if they are asked to do so.
It's interesting, tho, that you keep avoiding the conversation you started.
Did or did not Sarah Palin state that Esther was her role model? Did she, or did you, say that this campaign was being modeled on The Book of Esther?
That's the discussion, Anne....not my religion, not your religion, not your opinion or my opinion. You've made a politically and religiously charged statement as well as linked to an article with unverified information and you've asked us to accept it as unbiased and factual - I've asked for further verification. That's all.
