I urge Henrietta Hay to rethink her Palin propositions in the light of what she has previously written:
“I deplore the serious political pulling apart that has divided our country.” (July 17)
“We came oh-so-close to getting a woman president. And how I wish we had.” (July 31)
Her latest anti-Palin rant of Sept. 11, attempting to impugn and malign the governor of Alaska only contributes to the “serious political pulling apart that has divided our country.” Her wish that we had gotten “a woman president” is belied by the entire half-truthed diatribe she launched in her attack.
For Ms. Hay to want only a far-left, radical-feminist president is a discredit to her own intelligence, to the cause of women in our country and to the political discourse at large.
Now is the time for her to do a major flip-flop and come out in full support of Gov. Palin, an accomplished, articulate, principled candidate. Unless she does, it will be very difficult for us to believe that she wrote.
“Am I happy that we have a woman running for vice president? Yes.” (Sept. 11)
“I have no doubt that Sarah Palin is a fine, intelligent woman.” (Sept. 11)
Those parts must have been written by Bush’s former speech writer a month before Hay wrote her column.

It may be the time for Mr. Miller to rethink his own position instead of asking others to do so. Ms. Hay is an intelligent and educated woman who knows what she is talking about. And, I doubt if she is easily influenced by the ‘wrapping’ on anything. She looks for substance, much as many of us do. We look for ‘good ideas’, not as to whether the individual is wearing pants or a skirt, wears one political label or another, and certainly not race, color, etc.
Mr. Miller, instead of ‘blindly’ following or adhering to the ‘party line’, might wish to follow Ms. Hay’s example, and apply thought to the process, keeping the interests of the country in mind.

It is entirely possible to be happy we have a woman running for Vice President, and to offer this woman a measure of respect as far as being a “fine and intelligent woman”
… while at the same time expressing the belief that this PARTICULAR individual (woman or not) is a nightmarish prospect to hold this high office.
Bravo, Henrietta Hay.
