The dominatrix

Sarah Palin is trying to seduce independent voters. But she comes across like a whip-wielding mistress who wants to discipline a naughty America.

    Dominatrix Palin

    You accuse Palin of demonizing her opponent, while you call her a "dominatrix?" That's funny. I don't think she wants to dominate us at all. I think it's Obama who wants to dominate Americans that are guilty of over-consumption, not knowing more than one language(I know two and am from the rural south), and supposed middle American narrow-mindedness. She was just biting back. It's what empowered,independent women should do. Maybe democrats want submissive women.

    Or maybe Gary Kamiya wants a spanking. Sexualize women who threaten you, and expect to be sexualized yourself, Kamiya.
