When you break her record down to FACTS instead of wacked propaganda then you get a woman who is family oriented, willing to take on big government, prolife, supports same-sex benefits, with a proven executive record, and a clear kind of feminist that real women can support. No wonder femnazi's and liberals hate her.......she can truly extend her hand across the aisle and she hasn't had to deny her femininity or values to do it. GO SARAH!!!
