The wolves need to stay listed and that is that... stop all this back and forth misguided viewpoint. these animals deserve to stay listed until the ecosystem is once again healthy, plain and simple.

There is something about Sarah ...

Going For The Gut

by digby

I can't honestly say that I'm prescient about much of anything, but
I have said from the day she was nominated that her attitude toward animals was a serious weak point for Palin. It wasn't about regular All American hunting. This was about her not caring if the polar bears drown and supporting aerial wolf hunting, which takes her way into the outer boundaries of the anti-environmental and gun culture. She
is far from being mainstream on a whole host of issues, but this is one that creates a visceral, emotional reaction and shows just how extreme she really is.

It looks like that disturbing wolf hunting ad moves voters:

A new national focus group among 312 self-reported Democrats, Republicans and Independents, revealed that after viewing a new ad by the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund regarding "Palin's Wildlife Record", there was moderate movement among all parties toward Barack Obama.

The study was conducted by HCD Research and the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion (MCIPO) on September 15, to obtain Americans' perceptions of a new ad which questions Governor Sarah Palin's record in regard to wildlife in Alaska.

"The ad which focuses on Governor Palin's record regarding the treatment of wildlife in Alaska seemed to strike a chord with voters," commented Glenn Kessler, president and CEO, HCD Research. "The recent ads from both parties have had little impact among voters. This is the first ad in over a month that seems to have broken through," he added.

Among the study findings:

The ad earned Barack Obama a Political Communications Impact Score (PCI of 29.4 and John McCain received a score of 5.9, resulting in a net score of 23.5 for Barack Obama. The scores can be compared to a mean score of 9.3 for previously tested Obama ads and 7.5 for previously tested McCain ads. To date, the total mean score for all previously tested ads is 8.3

The most prevalent emotional responses reported from voters were "angry" and "disturbed" after viewing the ad. Click here:

It's one thing to be a frontier gal who hunts moose in Alaska for food. But most people instinctively get that there's something fundamentally wrong with this:

THERE IS SOMETHING FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH THE IM-PALIN-ATOR! SHE IS EVIL AND SADISTIC!

Sarah Palin knows why women don't like her — and, no, it's not because (as adviser Rick Davis asserted) she's pretty, competent and happy. She thinks women aren't flocking to McCain-Palin because, she says, the media puts "a kind of spin on the my record or my positions." Would those be the positions on pay equity, abortion, health care, taxes, the environment, energy exploration, foreign policy or who should pay for the forensic exams after a woman is raped? Yeah, thought so. [Think Progress, ABC News]

Blue...If you have any intelligence you know you are not dumbing her down cuz she's a woman.she has done that herself.Women who don't like her are use to seeing this type ya betcha.They are our co-workers on the job that think if they bat those eyelashes men will help them with their job.Her allowing the dispicable acts of "denning" goes againest the grain of those that hunt only when they need to for food. This un-maternal view should leave people feeling cold.
Thank you Susan..noted and signed ...
