The Hollywood types actually think that they have the ability to "lead" us. That is why they throw themselves into the political circle, believing that their opinions will have impact.

Most celebrities don't get it. They are not average Americans. They don't live like most of the rest of us. Sure we might enjoy them in the movies. We especially like it when the characters they are playing are just like us - when what they are saying and acting out on the screen reflects what life is really like for us - those outside their loop. We like that, but we also know that those living in Malibu or a New York penthouse, partying at the nightclubs, leaving their children with nannies, enjoying frequent holidays on foreign islands, and employing secretaries and bodyguards to get them through the day, are nothing like us.

It's actually these types of people that are pushing to keep the right to abortions, because these are the people who have lives that they don't want a baby to interere with. These are the people that have wanted to keep their own lives uncluttered, and now want to make sure their daughters have no interference on the way up, either. As Obama himself once said, he would support his daughters in aborting his grandchildren rather than have his daughters endure the "punishment" of being mothers.

Sure lower income women have had abortions, but although the elite talk on and on about how abortions are a necessary option for lower income women, it's not as big an issue for us. Babies don't interfere with our lives the way they do for the elite. We go ahead and have our babies - and love them.

Sarah Palin IS us. As Paul Newman (a one-woman man and one of the likeable, although liberal, celebrities) once said, when faced with steak, why settle for hamburger.
