Reply #25: Sorry--I don't believe you.

[Lyric]

It's easy to say you'd quit when you're never going to be tested on it. It's a lot harder when you DON'T have any policy autonomy, your boss is the President of the United States, your job is incredibly complex and difficult, you're a minority whose entire group is subject to being judged by your actions (in this case, women), and you know damned well that if you walk away and cite your "conscience", nobody's going to believe you anyway, and worse, they'll assume that "modern" women like you and Palin are obviously not "tough" enough to handle important jobs.

Life is rarely black and white, and politics NEVER is. If she were making all her own decisions I'd be a lot more comfortable criticizing her than I am when I know full well that the policies she's carrying out are NOT her own.
