That's the Oprahs, Trumps and Hiltons of the world.

I pray when I marry for the first time it will be solely for love. Thanks for sharing your story, it sounds like you and your husband have a wonderful relationship.

Always better to get your regular oil changes and auto maintenance rather than waiting for things to blow up later - figuratively if not literally. (I'm one of the few women you'll ever meet who took Auto Power in high school way back in the 1970s. *smile* Hi Steve – you’re right.

They are compassionate about their life. 2. They try and be honest and caring to those around them and themselves. 3. They are open to others opinions and views - whether they agree with them or not. 4. They are honestly doing their best to live their life they way they "say" they are living their life. 5. And they respect me as a person. I haven't seen very many of these qualities in Sarah Palin's track record. When I choose to work with someone as a co-worker or staff member I look for certain qualities. 1. Able to work within a team environment. 2. Understanding that while they have great ideas, they may not be the ideas we need to go with right now. 3. They understand what a budget is and how it is to be used. 4. Able to respect other peoples ideas and opinions. 5. Able to respond to others thoughts or criticisms in a mature, thoughtful, and careful way. 6. Able to understand the job at hand, capable of handeling the job at hand, and willing to put in the time and effort to do their best at the job at hand. 7. And very importantly, that they don't waste other peoples time and money by doing things that are unrelated to the needs and demands of the job at hand. I haven't seen very many of these qualities in Sarah Palin's track record. When I look up to someone to lead this great country and to be someone for me to look up to and hold my head high, I look for the following qualities. 1. Someone that has a track record of maintaining verbally or written goals. 2. Someone that is compassionate about the people they will be serving. 3. Someone that has the best interest of the people they are serving. 4. Someone that understands where they people are that they are serving: financially. 5. Has the ethical background of being able to work on a team locally, nationally, and globally. 6. Is able to understand that the needs of the many do outweigh the needs of the few. 7. Is able to respond to attacks or insults without attacking or insulting in return. 8. Has a track record of staying within a budget and not incurring more expense then was previously on the books. 9. Stands up for what they believe in, and still listens and follows what the majority demand. Unfortunately, Sarah Palin isn't showing me much of those either. While a strong and energetic woman can be beautiful. She also needs to understand that a serpents tongue and strong muscles will not bring peace to a land that is riddled with hatred (KKK), violance (gangs), pain (domestic abuse), and hunger (USA children not having food), and so much more. She needs to be strong as a caring, understanding, calm, and thoughtful person that puts the needs of others before her own. I have seen what is capable of (with her family and her previous position in Alaska) and it scares me to think that a woman like that would be considered for any governing position over anything (including a family).

I don't think there's anything lacking inside with Palin or other women who strive for important roles - in fact I believe there's a passion to do something significant in the larger world. In that way I'm aligned with Palin - but that's probably the ONLY way I'm aligned with her. In almost every other way my viewpoints are extremely different from hers. I will acknowledge there are days when I'd just like to go to a spa for a week - but they are very short-lived. The important thing is that you're living the life that makes you happy - and that your beliefs (the man in charge) have worked out with your reality. It's great when that happens. Hi Regina:

I must say, I agree with all of the messages here. I'm what most consider an old fashioned girl. While I love being in control of who I am and my career, I always loved the fact that a [qualified] Man carried the torch, opened the car door and held down the home front with self assured masculinity. Women like Sarah Palin (IMO) need much more than [deceptive] control... it's something lacking deep within and again IMO they wear a mask that has to be continued each day even when they don't feel like it. I admire women like Hillary Clinton. She's walked the walk and continues to talk the talk with a proven paper trail. I do agree that a lot of women desire to be strong and empowered however, at the end of the day, family values, social conscious, spirituality and the men who love them, take precedence over being in control or some [fake] self imposed power.
