Newsweek dishes new dirt on Palin and Nicolle Wallace

Nothing too shocking, but useful background.
Palin was being handled by Nicolle Wallace, a veteran of the hardball politics of the Bush-Cheney campaign (she had been a press-bashing director of communications). Recruited by Schmidt, Wallace had come from a stint as a commentator at CBS. She had the disastrous idea of making Palin available only for a series of high-profile media interviews, and then overprepared her with a cram course of talking points. It was embarrassing to watch Palin grope for answers to Katie Couric's questions—and thanks to YouTube, more than 10 million voters witnessed it. "She is not a dumb person," said a senior McCain adviser. "She is an intelligent person, but we made her so uptight." Some old McCain hands on the campaign were sharply critical of the Bush-Cheney alumni brought onboard by Schmidt. Wallace and the others had not only botched the handling of Palin, in the view of the old McCainiacs; they didn't understand that McCain needed to be McCain. (Wallace took responsibility, in an edgy kind of way: "I keep trying to get someone to write that it's my stupid strategy," she told a NEWSWEEK reporter. "I should be fired. I've offered my resignation twice in the spirit of Dwight D. Eisenhower, taking responsibility, and no one will take it." In truth, Wallace was in a tough place: Palin was no longer taking much coaching from her. Feeling that she had been overmanaged for her one-on-one debut with a network anchor—Charlie Gibson of ABC—Palin had rebuffed Wallace's help with her Couric interview.)…
There was grumbling that Palin had jumped the gun by bringing up Ayers at her rallies before the campaign could properly do the groundwork with a rollout strategy and ads. (At one rally, she had talked about Obama "palling around with terrorists.") Palin was mad at her handlers. Reportedly, she felt that Wallace and Schmidt had poorly coached and advised her. One adviser later speculated that she impulsively talked about Ayers because she felt thwarted—she had really wanted to bring up the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. (Actually, Palin was feeling hurt and angry over the tabloid treatment of her 17-year-old daughter Bristol, and decided—on her own—that Ayers should be fair game. McCain's advisers were working on a strategy that would launch an Ayers attack the following week, but McCain had not signed off on it, and Salter was resisting.)
The campaign's internal polls showed that those lower-income swing voters in industrial states had not forgotten about Wright. In the view of some of his advisers, McCain had a chance to really hurt Obama by dredging up those videotapes of his longtime pastor crying "Goddam America!" But McCain did not want to. He did not want to do anything that smacked of racism.
An unnamed source who's probably Randy Scheunemann told Politico two weeks ago that Schmidt and Wallace would end up being the ones trying to tear Palin down. Whether that's because the source had reason to believe they'd leak or simply because he/she knew there was bad blood between them and Palin and expected some post-campaign sniping, no one except Politico knows. Two months later, though, I'm unclear how Palin was "overprepared" for questions about what periodicals she likes to read or why Russia's proximity to Alaska enhanced her foreign policy credentials, as she suggested to Charlie Gibson. Those are the questions that killed her, not anything having to do with, say, naming the deputy prime minister of Kazakhstan.
The LA Times has new dirt too, related mainly to the shopping expenses, and unsurprisingly it's linked (indirectly) to Schmidt, Rick Davis, and Nicolle Wallace. Here's an interview she did today in four parts with local radio in Alaska. She is, more than ever, a woman in demand.

So far their batting average is not that great. Sorry, but I feel that way right now about a lot of these socalled experts. For instance, why didn't Rush do what Oprah Winfrey did and use his money and influence to help promote a candidate from the outset? No, he just whined about everyone, refused to really get behind anyone until it was all over and then he found fault.
Who, exactly did you expect Rush or Michelle to promote? The conservatives didn't have a good candidate- They both knew exactly what McCain was about. I think they did damn well to NOT completely trash him throughout the campaign. Obama was by far the greater of two evils in the choice. All they're doing now is going back to their original opinions.

MR. Wednesday:
I am not so sure about Rush and Malkin always being right.
So far their batting average is not that great. Sorry, but I feel that way right now about a lot of these socalled experts. For instance, why didn't Rush do what Oprah Winfrey did and use his money and influence to help promote a candidate from the outset? No, he just whined about everyone, refused to really get behind anyone until it was all over and then he found fault.
Do you know how much money he did give? I don't. Do you understand because of his media caricature how badly it looks for a specific candidate to receive money from Rush? He devotes his life to defending our principles. Could you stand the daily media criticisms people like he and Sean get for what they do?
What exactly did he call wrong. If you ask me, since before 2000 he has been saying that McCain survived in the Republican Party only because the media propped him up and that they were pushing hard to get him the nomination in 2000 and then to oppose the incumbent GWBush in 2004. He also said, "Mark my word, if Senator McCain actually even gets the nomination, the drive-bys will turn on him like a pack of wolves." Remember one thing. Even with all the support I gave to Senator McCain and new respect I gained for him, he considered leaving the party and he considered a run as VP with Kerry as something other than a Republican. Rush and Hannity and quite freaking frankly the rest of us real Conservatives should get a pat on the butt for standing by him the way we did.
Malkin has not exactly done anything to bring new people to the party, if anything she has alienated people by her style.
Who do you want to come to the party, people that will dilute our beliefs even further.
I am not happy about the election results, I voted R all the way, but I am not happy with a lot of the so-called experts, pundits and luminaries either.
Terrye on November 7, 2008 at 6:32 AM
Terre, I've said before that you're one of the commenters here I always slow down to read because I think your opinion is normally well thought out and frankly heart-felt. Having said that..
I get the feeling you don't want real Conservatives speaking for the party like Rush and Sean. I also get the impression you might rather concede on some core issues to win more elections rather than trying to persuade folks back to our core beliefs.

Palin knew months before she was chosen that she was on the short list. If she was unprepared, it was her own decision and demonstrates either a lazy intellect or a conceit. She certainly won't be the last woman to think she can get by on her looks alone.
Personally, I think she was shocked that the ticket lost and that there were so many "unpatriotic, unreal" Americans out there who weren't charmed by her.

I'm no apologist for anyone on the ticket, but do you really think (since you're posting appears to be mostly opinion based) that she 1. Knew she was on a short list or 2. Thought she really had any real chance to be picked if she were?
I'm still not in the camp that she was unprepared (yep, my opinion) and consider this. How long would it take you to get up to a working knowledge of national and world affairs well enough to get through the debate with Joe Biden and come out with even a few in the liberal media claiming she had won?
hawkdriver on November 7, 2008 at 7:42 AM
hawkdriver: Yeah, but you said it better.
As for Palin "knowing she was on the short list, and not being better prepared", That's a laugh! Politicians are human. Unfortunately, anytime Palin was human, it was completely distorted or outright fabricated. I'll put her intellect and savvy up against Biden, Obama, or McCain's anyday. The press ignored every gaffe Biden or Obama made, Obama almost managed to lose the election for himself just by answering J the P's question.
You can dislike Sarah Palin for whatever reason you want, but don't come on here making accusations that aren't also made in spades for all the other politicians.

No young lady you said it well. You always do. And It reassures me to hear like minds. Conservative woman I think will save this party. Michelle Malkin has come close to martyrdom in my book considering the racial slurs and outright death threats against her and her family for her/our beliefs.
Rush, Sean and Michelle all will be vilified in the coming weeks by the media in an attempt to spin that they helped lose the election. But it's not what they (the media) really believe. If they did, they would just say nothing and let it go on. If the Democratic Congress didn't think they had a great influence, they wouldn't be talking about the Fairness Doctrine being re-legislated. The Left understands, divide and conquer.

Reality check for all the whiners…
Obama, Biden, Pelosi, & Reid are going to shut every one of you "Sarah is a dummy" fools up in ways you didn't even know existed.
All of you braindead Liberals posting here and piling on; (1) year from now you will see a country that has been further divided into racial groups; a country that is suffering through a trial period where federal government is nationalizing our industries while crushing capitalism; personal wealth will be taken from families; hard work, risk, and reward will be a thing of the past…
All of you Obama lovers are in for a rude and crude awakening. The rest of us already knew what you are about to learn about your messiah. The rest of us will be looking at you and your type real closely in the near future.
Oh and BTW: All of you Obama lovers in Ohio, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and other coal mining states; you are going to get exactly what you so richly deserve. You idiots are looking at Sarah Palin, we are looking at YOU!
Load your pantries up with canned food folks. Bullets will become scarce and really expensive, better stock up. I'm not planning on shooting anybody, but I do want the ability to hunt game for food when it becomes necessary.
Better focus your attention on Obama and his mates; watch who he picks for his cabinet; watch closely to see who's pulling the strings. Obama told all of us exactly what he plans to do; redistribution of wealth; nationalized health care; nationalizing the oil industry; nationalizing 401K programs; shrinking our military; raising the capital gains tax; raising the death tax; drivers licenses for illegals; amnesty for the 15 to 20 million illegals already in country…. A white man's greed runs a world in need. Right out of his book!

That is just stupid. You may recall she was a governor AND gave birth in that time frame. And there is no way to prepare for a series of pop quizzes on whatever subject the interviewer pulls out of his/her a$$.
BTW, she did not cost us the election. In fact,without Palin drawing huge crowds and the base back to the ticket, we have a complete wipe out.

Vernon Hardapple,
Re; "woman who doesn't read newspapers and thinks that Africa is a country"
If you believe either of these things are true, you are a moron. Newsweek is the most biased of the MSM print sources. Check out Groseclose for details. I am sure she reads, every day. And she probably hit the Anchorage Daily News, Juneau and Fairbanks papers and WSJ. Maybe she reads NYT's, maybe not. But she saw Couric's trap: Don't mention NYT, be labeled a rube; Mention NYT while McCain campaign is blasting them for bias and undercut the campaign.

The Opinionator on November 7, 2008 at 8:27 AM
Exactly right! (2) days after picking Palin for the VP slot, McCain raised 15M on the internet alone. McCain's campaign was having serious difficulty with fund raising, a campaign that was stuck in first gear. Then came Palin and the energy quickly shifted the McCain campaign into a much higher gear. The crowds she drew were much larger than that of McCain. The energy at her stumps was the real deal.
The MSM saw what so many here are denying, and sent an army into Alaska to destroy this new energy.
Damn, Americans have become so freakin blinded by denial of the facts so blatantly in clear view.
Keemo on November 7, 2008 at 8:35 AM
I always wished with the whole thing about what she reads that she had said flat out what she was saying in a more veiled manner. My personal choice would have been, "That is an extremely insulting question. Alaska has electricity, computers, libraries, and the internet. Just because it's not a major city in the lower 48 doesn't mean that the people who live there are morons or disengaged from the rest of the country or the world. I read the local papers in Alaska and a couple of national papers, the Wall Street Journal among them. Oh, and screw you, you condescending bitch."

I wonder if Sarah was more surprised to hear what NAFTA stands for or the fact that Mexico is considered part of North America.
Vernon Hardapple on November 7, 2008 at 9:32 AM
Neal Boortz linked to a Red State post where they're listing the leakers and promising to remember them. And not favorably. I like it.
Whoever is doing it for whatever reasons, it needs to stop now. Nobody ever claimed Sarah Palin was perfect. She answered a call to service and served well. Anyone affiliated with the campaign who is at all surprised and dissapointed by her stances should blame the people who vetted her, not the Governor.
EconomicNeocon on November 7, 2008 at 9:37 AM
I thought two of the more interesting things that she said in the radio interview yesterday were: If she ran for president she would want the campaign to be a grassroots effort like her governor's run, and that she's not sure that people are going to be ready for the change she would bring after only two years (which is when she would have to start running).
I personally hope that she stays involved on the national stage with energy policy and advocating for special needs children, serves two full terms as governor (no Senate run please, keep your status as an outsider), and puts off a run for president until 2016. That gives her so much more time to distill her principles of governance, develop a clear vision for where she wants to take the country, and bone up on national and international issues.
meltenn on November 7, 2008 at 9:50 AM
Turns out we were all right Sarah was mishandled and had exactly the right instincts. I feel even better about her.
ldbgcoleman on November 7, 2008 at 9:58 AM
From the Anchorage Daily News today: a couple of tidbits about the clothes, and another on the record quote from Scheunemann. Nothing really new except that apparently Palin asked that anything that didn't belong to her be taken off her campaign plane in Phoenix. It wasn't, so she and an aide were going through all the luggage yesterday trying to sort out everything and packing it to send back.
meltenn on November 7, 2008 at 10:14 AM
I said from the beginning the Sarah Palin was mishandled.
I told a friend yesterday that Palin should have started her campaign talking to small newspapers and local news channels. She did a wonderful interview with Brenda Blackmon (an African American), the main anchor on UPN9 in New York City/New Jersey. Ms. Blackmon treated Sarah with respect and was fair in her interview. It was very positive. That's they kind of interviews Sarah needed in the beginning. Local news, local talk shows, get to the heart of people instead of being led to slaughter.
The big guns at the networks were pressuring the McCain camp for interviews so they could humiliate Sarah. Especially Katie Couric, who tried to use her vile, unprofessional interview to keep her job at CBS (which is seriously in jeopardy). Sarah should have been allowed to build up first. Instead, the Republicans and McCain's camp was so dysfunctional that they sabotaged themselves and let the Obama-friendly press use Sarah to boost their goal of making Obama "emperor".
Sarah Palin helped John McCain more than any of his so-called Republican colleagues did.
stefystef on November 7, 2008 at 10:18 AM
It is a shame that many so call conservative are trying to destroy Sarah Palin. It looks like a bunch of piranhas attacking a wounded animal. I thought conservatives have more class than liberal morons. Sarah Palin is a smart woman and if she decides to run in 2012 I will support her. Many in the media are making a big deal out of nothing. The truth is Republican abandon their conservative principles and people got sick of them, this is the real reason we lost. We need to clean our party and start a grass root movement to fight liberals 24/7/365.
pukara61 on November 7, 2008 at 10:32 AM
I'll remain shoulder-to-shoulder with Palin.
She's a smart woman with 'balls of steel'. Anyone that can accomplish the kind of meteoric political rise and success that she has is worthy of serious consideration for POTUS. It is my hope that she is the catalyst of a radical return to fundamental American philosophy. It is also my hope that she does not lose heart, despite the traitors around her, and that she seeks my vote in 2012+ – a vote she has already secured.
In contrast, Obama is fools' gold. He has legally maneuvered his way into politics, spent millions of dollars broadcasting his gift of the gab in order to con the majority of the electorate, and now stands on a precipice of monumental failure. Sadly we will all be injured when he falls.
It is our job as Americans to do everything we can to engage in damage control.
LimeyGeek on November 7, 2008 at 10:44 AM
I'm not going to keep on carping about Wallace. That bitch doesn't deserve anymore publicity — good or bad.
What disappoints me after reading this post is this collective ego in the campaign that seemed to give up the good fight after the collapse of the economy. They went through the motions on our dime (our being those of us that contributed to the campaign). It is a disgusting showing by people that have been inside the beltway too long.
stefystef on November 7, 2008 at 10:18 AM
Damn straight. It made no sense to me that they started her with Charlie Gibson and held her to three major interviews.
Apparently she was asking all along why she wasn't doing local interviews and interviews with conservatives; she especially wanted to know why she wasn't allowed to talk to the local media in Alaska so that she could talk to her constituents. From a few of the tidbits coming out she eventually rebelled and called reporters on her own (Glenn Beck, O'Reilly, and the Anchorage Daily News among them) to try to set up interviews. The whole thing with Megyn Kelly also makes me wonder if Palin didn't call to set it up herself and her handlers found out and canceled it.
meltenn on November 7, 2008 at 11:02 AM
meltenn on November 7, 2008 at 11:02 AM
Exactly!!! Sarah was right. She should have done the little, more personal interviews while McCain stayed on the big stage.
No wonder Sarah Palin rebelled. She knew she was being handled so poorly and she decided that those jealous, ineffectual McCain staffers were not going to set her up as the scapegoat for the failed Republican Party.
I believe that WITHOUT Sarah Palin, McCain would not have broken the 40% barrier. It was McCain's people who cancelled a lot of her interview and complained that she was going "off message". I mean really, were they kidding???
It is obvious that the Republicans and conservatives self-destructed this year. And Bush was no help at all. Not for McCain, not for any Republican running this year, not for the Republican party.
stefystef on November 7, 2008 at 11:44 AM
You can be overprepared by being bombarded with too many negatives — too many, "don't say this, don't mention that, absolutely never mention so-and-so."
I work in litigation, and help prepare witnesses to testify. You can absolutely give someone a list of "don't dos" that is so long and detailed that they find themselves unable to answer a question.
And now the polls are saying that 91% of Republicans liked Palin??? Huh?
Three days ago, Palin was the albatross around McCain's neck… now she's wonderful???
Come on, people. The pollster have been playing with the numbers for months… everything to make Obama look like the Second Coming of Christ. Now the truth will come out… too late to take back those votes.

The fact of the matter is Palin was right and the MSM going on and on about this is doing nothing to take her down. But keep it up because it'll just make moderate elitist types that much more unpopular in future elections. McCainiacs won't get elected dog catcher. Look to the primaries where a REAL CONSERVATIVE will go up against a RINO time and time again. Can't wait Jindhal starts giving more and more interviews and the elitist start trying to tear him down.

She was the freaking Vice Presidential candidate for christ's sake
Do you think that John Nance Gardner was cared about as much as the media cared about Palin?
She could not win from the beginning … they made fun of her homestate, they smeared her family, they made fun of her glasses, they called her dumb from the get because she was attractive woman … remember in this day and age only women in pantsuits with haircuts like dudes are "intelligent"
Her direct counterpart in this election claimed that FDR went on television to tell Americans about the great depression in 1929, told a man in a wheelchair to stand up and said that JOBS was a 3 letter word.
and then at the end her own freaking campaign team throws her under the bus, runs her over and backs it up to hit her again
all because they ran a shitty campaign with a horrible presidential candidate
John McCain doesn't know JACK about economics and yet Palin is the idiot … right makes a lot of sense
New rationale
If you are a moron who has been in the senate since the 3rd grade you get a free pass
but if you are new on the national scene and stumble out of the gate you are a "bimbo"
Its no wonder this country voted for the Messiah
He is the only type of candidate that can survive in this environment … the packaged product of a political machine

joey24007 on November 6, 2008 at 11:21 PM
Right on.
Compare Sarah to Rumsfelt , a seasoned smooth talker , I think he made some really bad mistakes handling the war in iraq , but the media could never ever crack him in any interview.
She isn't that good , so she needed a smoother start.
Sarah has a good track record of decisions and what she has done , because any mistakes and we would've been told all about it by now. "Trooper Gate" the only thing and it was a non starter , even with the MSM at hand.
What i mean is that a slick solid talker necessarily doesn't make good decisions.
And the business world and the military is full of people that would fall flat in an hostile interview , but they dominates the place when real things need to be done and now.
Her biggest mistake were thinking that the Mccain team was good enough and willing to fight.
Obama is no smooth talker , when they push him. But they never did.
And hard decisions he ever made , none.

Well, knowing whats coming, they bascially have 4 years of attacking of Palin to get rolling on. They know she's gonna run most likely.
I figure the pendulum is just swining the other way for a little while, almost like it has to. The mainstream press saw how talk radio helped Bush get in twice so they just pulled the same thing, thats all. No biggy. Paybacks are a bitch when it comes our turn again.
So, the last bit of the endless Newsweek story is finally up. Nothing new really on the clothes except that it claims that Palin continued to have tailored clothes delivered even after the original story broke and she claimed innocence. I have no idea whether or not she was to blame for the clothes. Maybe she is, and is completely corrupt and a diva, and arrogant enough to think it would never come out or that if it did she could pass it off. I don't know. I'd like to think the best, but I guess we'll find out for sure some day.
Couple of new bits: it claims that by the end she refused to talk to donors (Which is weird cause she did a bunch of fundraisers for them and raised her governor's race money completely on her own. I guess she changed her mind?), and that she refused to go onstage with pro-choice or anti-drilling Republicans in New Hampshire. It should be noted that Steve Duprey, who was traveling with her that day, denies that that happened. But the two she apparently dissed either couldn't be reach for comment or refused to comment.
meltenn on November 7, 2008 at 6:54 PM
Well if the MSM try to paint your family as a bunch of inbreeding yokels, it's good PR dressing smart .

here's something else that's come out along those lines:
"First Dude" Todd Palin was talking to fat-cat Republican doners by phone during the campaign,asking them to "keep their power dry" until 2012.
Translation: The Palins were already looking ahead to the next election before the current one was decided.
They saw the writing on the wall and knew they had ZERO chance to win and people in the McCain camp realized what was going down,so do you blaming them for getting some payback on a bunch of people that were stabbing their boss in the back? And if this wasn't true, McCain would've already said something, but he's been pretty mum.
DcMike2K on November 7, 2008 at 7:52 PM
"First Dude" Todd Palin was talking to fat-cat Republican doners by phone during the campaign,asking them to "keep their power dry" until 2012.
I read that in the article too, but I thought it said he was talking to Alaska donors and not necessarily big donors all over the country. I might be remembering that wrong though. Either way shouldn't have been done if it's true.
The article said though that Palin was refusing to talk to donors because she found it "corrupting." That's the part that doesn't make sense to me. That story seems somewhat contradictory with the story about Todd. Makes me wonder which one is true.
meltenn on November 7, 2008 at 8:00 PM
Interesting that Palin has refuted this crap (the crap that you seem to believe now), yet that doesn't get mentioned at all here. I guess we've gotta keep that 'Palin is a bimbo diva' image going along, right? God forbid anyone in the McCain camp or even on this site take responsibility for their own epic failures.

Let's get a couple of things straight:
(1) The Republican ticket for President read as follows:
McCain/Palin NOT Palin/McCain
(2) Who was running the McCain Campaign for President? Who had the final say on anything and everything?
Answer: John McCain
John McCain wanted to pick Joe Lieberman as his VP,or someone like Mitt or Tim Pawenty(hope I got that right).He had the power to veto any choice so I'm wondering why he let his handlers talk him into a decision like this one.
He should've said"screw all of you" I'll decide who the VP pick will be
And he still had time to dump Palin after the Katie Couric interview and get someone that could've helped him more.
But McCain knew he was in a desperate situation so he let himself get talked into picking a person who was nothing more than a butcher in a supermarket,to carve up red meat and throw it to the luntic fringe of the Republican Party in a attempt to "fire them up". And it blew up right in their faces. To tell you the truth,I don't blame the McCain people for being just a little bit pissed off after they found out Ms.Hockey Mom was jamming the old man behind the scenes

I personally think (and hope) that all this stuff about the clothes is complete bull. I love Palin. She's the only reason I went out to vote, and I want to see her run in 2016. I like to think that all this is staffers setting her up for all their mistakes. I'm just trying to prepare myself just in case it isn't; because as much as I love her, she's not perfect and sometimes people make mistakes. I don't want this hanging over her head when she mounts her run for president.
I'd like somebody to start naming names on who these "anonymous sources" are too. Palin seemed to imply today that at least one of them would have to be from her debate prep because apparently that's where the Africa and NAFTA conversations (That have been completely taken out of context to make her look dumb, while everyone who will speak on the record says that she's very smart.)came from. Wasn't Schmidt part of her debate prep?

I don't believe Sara Palin is a potted plant. She couldn't have got to where she is if that was the case. But I do believe she was completely unaware of what she was getting herself into. She was unprepared to talk about anything on a national stage so that's why Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric chew her up and spit her out in little pieces. It seems like to me was,if it didn't involve Alaska,she didn't have a clue about it

Palin is Trig.

A comment like that in my presence would earn you a 1st class ass whopping! You people on the left with your vile comments and mean-spirited souls. Don't be surprised when you get it back in spades.

That is patently FALSE. Sarah stated in one of here early interviews that she only knew about being a VP candidate for a few weeks before she was picked. The meeting between McCain and Palin just before she was announced was the first time they had ever met face-to-face.
Add on top that she is a Governor and has a state to run. She has a family to take care of too. I think that the big majority of people would have crumbled under that kind of pressure. So you just waltz in here and lie through your teeth to misrepresent it. Yeah, real nice.

Mexicans and many other minority groups actually hold a lot of the same conservative ideals that many of the Republican Party hold dear. What a different political landscape we would have if the GOP didn't hold a "Not those people" attitude.

So, who reads Newsweek?
They're just like the NYT's-nobody buys their rags, as witnessed by their downward spirals.

Ahk Wah (Formerly Roger Walker)
My room is dark and gloomy. All rooms at an insanse asylum are dark and gloomy, some may say. But, mine is darker than most. I should know. I have been transferred from one room to another.
Eventually, they put me in my present room and throw away the key. Sure, they throw food in once or twice a day. At least it seems like twice a day. It is difficult to know how much time passes.
All I really have time for is thinking, and I have been doing a lot of thinking. I know now that I did not drown. But, was I close to drowning? Was there real water? Those questions still plague me.
Deep down in some hidden recess of my mind I love my daughter. I loved her mother, but something happened, and I pushed those feelings away. I remember beating her. It was a release of some kind. It soon became the most pleasurable thing I could do in any given day. I must get that feeling back.
The drowning feeling stayed with me many days and nights. I don't remember sleeping much in the beginning. I sleep now ... soundly.
I noticed one day that my hands were wet, but the room was dry. Each day my hands became increasingly wet. One day I touched my left hand with my right hand. My right hand went straight through.
I tried walking through the wall, but I bumped my head. Later I tried it again. I didn't go through the wall, but I felt no pain in my head. Plus, my head seemed to change shape as I hit the wall. So, I ran into the wall. I bounced off and hit the floor.
I lifted my head, noticing that my body was a gelatinous blob on the floor. It soon came back to its normal shape. I experiemented with my new found ability, and soon I realized I could change the shape of my body like a liquid that forms to a container.
I knew then how I would get out. My room was not air tight. I could slip through the cracks.
Now is the faithful time. I am a little nervous. I don't know how far I can stretch myself. I have gone pretty thin in my room, but how thin will I need to be?
I concentrate, willing the power to the fore. Starting with my head, I squeeze through the crack between the door and the wall. It is nearly paper thin, but I get through with no problem.
I return to my human shape once I am in the hall. I don't know which direction to run, so I just randomly pick one. I turn a corner. There is a guard there.
"What are you doing out of your room?"
"Escaping, of course," I reply. "What type of imbecile are you?"
He begins to answer but soon realizes what answering that question would mean. He unholsters his gun, saying, "Stop right there!"
I run forward. He fires, but I am ready for him. I gel my body just enough for the bullet to go straight through.
"Who are you?" the guard almost yells.
"My name is Ahk Wah," I say as I knock him to the ground.
In his delirium after being hit in the head, he says, "Aqua?"
"No, Ahk Wah!"

A/N:here's the next part! Thank you so much for the feedback :D
Warnings and disclaimers are the same as in the last chapter.
The next few days were like some sort of screwed up film. The plot was absolute crap, the acting was terrible, and it was the same scenery for the entire thing.
Yuki had given up on his writing. He just couldn't bring himself to writing romance when his love life was a totally fucked up saga. Although he had learnt two important things: 1) never mess with your boyfriend's sister, and 2) he liked having Shuichi around.
He liked Shuichi, period. He liked Shuichi a lot.
And he missed him.
It had taken him the better part of two days to figure all of this out. Half of him wanted to call Shuichi and command him to come home immediately, but he was too proud. He couldn't bring himself to eat humble pie.
And although he wanted nothing more than to have Shuichi in his arms, he knew that it wasn't going to be as easy as making one phone call.
I hurt him. I really hurt him.
Yuki slammed his fist against the wall, angry at himself and at Shuichi for being so fucking kind and forgiving- for being so damn loveable. And even if he did manage to win Shuichi's affections again, he would have to eat a shitload of humble pie before he got into Maiko's good books. But he guessed that didn't really matter, as long as he got Shuichi back.
A semi evil smirk crossed Yuki's lips.
All he needed now was a plan.
It had been almost a week.
Only one more day, then it would be a whole, entire week.
A week living in a strange apartment without Yuki.
"You're not still thinking about him, are you?" Maiko asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No!" Shuichi replied hastily. "Of course not! I was just wondering when I was going to get my stuff back, that's all."
It was obvious that Shuichi was lying.
He still loves Yuki, after all that bastard's done to him. If that's not true love, then nothing is.
Smiling sadly, Maiko sat down opposite her older brother. "I wish you would stop torturing yourself like this, Shu-chan. You know I hate it when you're sad."
"I'm sorry Mai-chan, I really am. But I love him so much…" he sighed and rubbed his eyes. "I'm going to go to bed and see what tomorrow brings, okay?"
But it's not even 6pm yet…Maiko shot one last desperate glance at her brother. Oh Kami sama, please let him get better soon…
Yuki glanced at Shuichi's jacket which had obviously been thrown without care onto the sofa. The blond hadn't touched any of Shuichi's stuff- he still hoped that the singer would come back to him. Surely Shuichi had to at least phone for his belongings, or visit to pick up his stuff.
As if reading his mind, the phone began to ring. Sprinting to the phone, Yuki waited for the phone to ring twice before picking up.
"What?" he snapped, not wanting to sound desperate.
"What is right!"
Yuki winced. It was that damn guitarist with the girly hair, not his Shuichi. "What the hell do you want?"
"Where is Shuichi? What have you done to him you bastard?" Hiro yelled.
"What did I do to him! He's the one who left." Yuki said bitterly.
There was silence. After what seemed like several humiliating hours for Yuki, Hiro finally spoke.
"He left you?"
"Trying to rub it in, are you?" Yuki snapped.
"No, I just can't imagine him doing that… Are you sure it's the same Shuichi we're talking about here?" Hiro asked suspiciously.
He seriously couldn't imagine his pink haired friend walking out on Yuki. After all, Yuki was Shuichi's world- he breathed, ate and lived on the author. Why would he suddenly leave?
"Did you do anything to hurt him at all? Did you hit him, or-"
"I didn't fucking touch him, alright?" Yuki growled. Interrogations always pissed him off.
"Oh. But then why…" Hiro trailed off.
Yuki sighed. It sounded like another rush of static over the phone. "His sister didn't want him to stay with me. So she took him, and left."
"Oh!" Hiro gave a loud groan. "That explains a helluva lot of things."
Then, "Do you miss him?"
"Is that a yes or a no?"
"Take it whatever way you want." Yuki shrugged, even though he knew that the guitarist couldn't see him. "I don't care."
"Do you want him back?" there was a sly note in the long haired boy's voice.
Yuki groaned mentally. The baka was probably going to come up with some hare brained scheme to get Shuichi back, which would fail miserably and end up embarrassing the author completely.
"Not with your help I don't."
Hiro sighed. Another rush of static. "Would you just swallow your pride, Yuki, and let me help you? I'm his best friend- I know him way better than you do. I can help you get him back in no time at all."
"Why the hell are you helping me?" Yuki demanded, suspicion evident in his voice. "I hate you, and you hate me. Why the sudden difference? Are you going to tell me, or do I have to beat the shit out of you?"
It was in these moments that Hiro remembered at Yuki was a dangerous man. It was also in these moments that he wondered how the hell Shuichi put up with this guy. Hiro wondered what to tell him- the truth, or some fabricated lie? He settled on the truth.
"Shuichi loves you." he said honestly.
"Unfortunately." the author growled under his breath, loud enough for it to be heard by Hiro, who ignored him.
"And all I want is for him to be happy. And I have no idea why, but you make him happy. The way he looks at you…" Hiro gave an exasperated growl. "Shuichi's probably miserable about now. I just want to make him happy again. That's it- after this is over, we won't have anything to do with each other again, got it?"
"Hn." Yuki grunted.
Hiro took it as a yes. "Good. We'll start now."
"How? I don't even know where the brat is."
"I'll find out." Hiro said. "I'll call you later."
"Looking forward to it." Yuki said sarcastically, and hung up.
Though truth be told, he was.
Shuichi woke up several hours laster, and immediately wondered where Yuki was- was he safe? Was he asleep? He wasn't smoking or drinking was he? Was he out having sex with a random girl? Or-
Wait… I don't live with Yuki anymore,Shuichi reminded himself sadly. He rolled over, staring up at the ceiling, wondering what the author was doing at the moment.
He's probably out shagging some girl he doesn't know the name of, having forgotten all about me,the singer thought bitterly.
Shuichi sighed and glanced over at his mobile, and checked it quickly, hoping against hope that Yuki had called. There had been no missed calls, but he had eight new messages.
He read through them, smiling a little to himself. Five of them were from Hiro, demanding to know where he was, one was from Maiko, telling him that she had gone out and couldn't be bothered writing a note, knowing that he would manage to lose it, and the last two were from Tohma, politely telling him to get back to work or else he would be fired.
Like I care.
He started messing around on his phone, replied to some of Hiro's messages, telling him that he was safe, not doing anything illegal, and that he would be back at work the following morning. Shuichi subconsciously started dialling Yuki's number, so used to doing it all the time.
Shuichi flinched.
What the- Oh? Oh. Oh! Shit!
"Uh, sorry wrong number." Shuichi rasped out.
There was a short pause, then: "Shuichi? Is that you? Shuichi? Don't you dare-"
Shuichi hung up.
Heart thumping away in his chest, he mentally berated himself for doing such an idiotic thing.
He's not a part of you anymore, Shindou! He's gone, he's dead to you.
But somehow Shuichi just couldn't bring himself to think that. He just couldn't face life without Yuki. It sounded so sappy, a typical Mills and Boon cliché, or something out of a chick flick, but it was true. Every damned word of it. And sometimes he hated himself for it.
For being so dependent.
For being so in love.
For being himself.
Yuki cursed and threw the phone across the room before remembering that it had caller ID. The blond cursed everything he could possibly curse as he sprinted across the room and, hands shaking madly, picked up the phone and called Shuichi's number.
Shuichi groaned and picked up the phone.
"Don't hang up."
"Y- Yuki?" Shuichi gasped.
He sounded so hesitant, so unsure of himself. Shuichi didn't have the heart to hang up- although he would probably get nothing out of this conversation but more pain, he wanted nothing more than to hear Yuki's voice.
I am so pathetic. So, so pathetic.
"Alright…" Shuichi sat up in his bed and pulled the blankets tightly around him. "Is something the matter?"
Yuki gave a bitter laugh. "Of course something's the matter baka."
"Are you sick?" Shuichi asked, worried.
Another bitter laugh. "Not exactly. Not in the conventional way at least."
"Yuki?" Shuichi asked softly, confused.
A sigh. Then silence.
"Yuki? What's wrong?" Shuichi asked, more scared than ever. It didn't sound like the Yuki he knew on the other side of the phone. Yuki was never unsure of himself- if he wanted something, he got it. It was really as simple as that.
Another pause. Then:
"When are you coming home?" Yuki asked quietly.
Shuichi gasped for the second time that night. "W-when am I- I coming h-home?" he repeated shakily. He had never thought that he would hear those words coming from Yuki's mouth. Never.
"You don't have to repeat it baka." Yuki snapped, annoyed, but there was nothing he could do to hide his fear that Shuichi wouldn't come back to him.
"I- I'm just surprised, that's all. I mean, it's just…" he trailed off. "Um… Yuki?"
"Do you really want me back?" Shuichi asked so quietly that Yuki almost missed it.
The blond smiled, a rare show of emotion. He was extremely glad that Shuichi couldn't see him.
"Yes. Come back home, Shuichi." the writer said. He paused, then added in a quick mumble that was hardly audible: "I miss you koibito."
Embarrassed beyond words, but satisfied, Yuki hung up, leaving Shuichi to dwell on his words for countless hours.
Yuki woke up the next morning by a loud rapping sound. He growled and rolled over, falling straight off the couch and onto the hard floor.
"Kuso!" he yelled.
Yuki gave another animalistic growl. What the hell did Shuichi want this time of morning? Why couldn't he just-
The author gasped as realisation sunk in.
He opened the door and found a familiar face staring back at him anxiously.
"Have you changed your mind? Because I can go if you wa-" the singer's babbling was cut off as Yuki pressed a fierce kiss on his unsuspecting lips.
He moaned softly and responded just as fiercely, his hands exploring the body he knew so well- every curve, every dip, every scar. He allowed Yuki to explore his mouth willingly, wondering how he had managed to go without this for an entire week. It had been too long. Way too long.
"Been too long." Yuki panted as if reading his thoughts as they sucked in badly needed air. "Don't you dare leave me again, baka. Now phone your damned sister and tell her that you're not going to leave this apartment ever again." he growled, pressing feather light kisses against Shuichi's flushed skin. "And after that we can carry on… acquainting ourselves." he smirked.
Shuichi nodded obediently. He would have obeyed if Yuki had asked him to jump off a cliff- at that moment he didn't care, he didn't give a damn about anything, just as long as Yuki kept kissing him.
The singer picked up the phone and dialled Maiko's number.
"I'm staying with Yuki."
"Nani!" Maiko asked in disbelief. "There is no way that you are returning to that bastard, 'niisan. He doesn't treat you right!"
"I love him, Maiko." Shuichi said softly. "I love him."
Then Maiko let out a long breath. "We'll talk about this later Shu-chan. For now you can be with him."
"Arigatou." Shuichi gave a relieved smile. Hanging up, he felt arms snake around his waist, and a mouth attach itself to his ear, nibbling gently on the lobe.
"What did she say?" the blond whispered.
Shuichi laughed. "That tickles!" he grinned. "She says it's fine. For the moment anyway."
"Good." Yuki gave a sharp nod, before smirking semi-evilly. "Now let's go to bed."
"What! But- but-" Shuichi protested.
I can't go to bed! Not in this condition!Shuichi thought wildly, shifting uncomfortably in his too- tight jeans.
The semi evil smirk widened. "Who said we're going to bed to sleep?"
Shuichi blinked innocently at him, before his eyes widened, and he dragged the blond off to the bedroom.
When Yuki awoke for the second time that day it was because the phone was ringing. He groaned loudly, and the pink blob next to him shifted a bit, before rolling over, and Yuki realised it was Shuichi's head.
The pink haired boy gave a lazy smile and mumbled something under his breath before falling asleep again. Yuki allowed himself one affectionate smile before picking up the phone.
"Whoever you are, this had better be good." he warned.
"It is!" Hiro said excitedly. "I found out where he's staying!"
Yuki blinked, before giving an exasperated sigh. "Is that all you had to tell me about?"
"What? I thought you actually loved Shuichi! I thought you wanted to find him!" Hiro accused.
"I've already found and talked to him." Yuki said. "We've sorted things out."
"Oh." Hiro said blankly. "Right then."
Never any good at phone conversations in the first place, Yuki hung up without any further words. He pulled Shuichi closer, and he had just about fallen asleep again when the doorbell rang. Yuki swore and pulled his pillow over his head.
He could make out the muffled sound of the doorbell being rung again, and then there was silence. Satisfied, thinking that whoever had come to visit them had gone away, Yuki made himself comfortable again. There was a scraping sound, then suddenly the sound of the door opening then shutting.
What the hell?
Yuki sat up, alarmed. Who the hell was in his apartment? And how had they got in? Only he and Shuichi had the keys for the apartment! And probably Tohma too, but that had never been proven
The bedroom door opened, and Maiko stepped inside. She and Yuki glared at each other for a while, before Maiko realised two extremely vital things: 1) They were in bed. Together. 2) They were naked.
She blushed. "Oh shit! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-"
Yuki grunted. "Whatever. It doesn't matter. Just get out."
"I'm not leaving. Not until we've had a proper talk anyway." she said resolutely. "Go back to sleep- I'll be in the lounge. But as soon as you wake up we're having a talk, got it?"
Yuki shrugged again, and it was obvious that he was extremely irritated. "Do whatever the hell you want to. Just get out of my bedroom! No wait." his eyes narrowed. "How did you get the key to my apartment?"
"It's Shuichi's key." Maiko replied, heading for the door. "I'm going to make a call to my friend, alright?"
Not waiting for him to reply, she walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her. Yuki groaned, wondering how the hell he was going to get rid of her.
Well at least with her on the phone it will stop all other calls coming through,Yuki thought.
Shuichi mumbled something and moved closer towards Yuki. Smiling slightly, the author allowed himself to be a cuddle toy for the first time in his life, and quickly fell asleep.
When he awoke a few hours later, he could hear Maiko shouting something in the other room to one of her friends.
"- didn't you know? Baka, they're lovers! Didn't I-" she carried on in vain for some time but Yuki had stopped listening. He stroked Shuichi's hair gently, revelling in the lithe body pressed tightly against his.
Yuki smiled. He liked that word.

Mr Gill, a self-confessed Manchester United fan, succeeds Robin Launders, who left in the summer to become chief executive of rival Premiership club Leeds United.
In a separate move, First Choice named Lance Moir, a former corporate finance director at brewing and leisure giant Bass, as Mr Gill's replacement.
Mr Gill, 39, is understood to have played an instrumental role in the ousting of Francis Baron, the First Choice chief executive deposed last month in a boardroom coup.
One of Mr Gill's first tasks will be to improve the flow of information between Manchester United and institutional investors. Since Mr Launders' departure Manchester United has been the subject of persistent takeover rumours.
At one stage the rumours got so out of hand that the club even took the highly unusual step of issuing a Stock Exchange statement saying that no bid approaches had been received.
Both Mr Gill and Mr Moir will take up their new posts in the new year. Mr Gill will stay on to help present First Choice's annual results due tomorrow.Reuse content

The Victorian Labor party has threatened legal action against the Age after the newspaper accused party workers of stealing a journalist's dictaphone in order to damage the state government.
Under the front page headline "ALP the guilty party" on Friday, the Age said a recording device belonging to its state political editor, Farrah Tomazin, was obtained and listened to by senior Victorian Labor officials.
The dictaphone contained a private conservation between Tomazin and the former Liberal premier Ted Baillieu, in which he criticised some of his colleagues.
The Age said CCTV footage showed Tomazin's device was handed into lost property at the state Labor party conference in May. It alleges a Labor official then seized it.
The newspaper alleges staff within opposition leader Daniel Andrews' office were made aware of the tape. It is also alleged that a third party is believed to have emailed its contents to hundreds of Liberal party members, in a bid to cause factional unrest and damage the premier, Denis Napthine.
In a brief statement, Andrews denied the allegations and raised the possibility of legal action against Fairfax Media.
"Allegations by the Age today regarding Victorian opposition staff are wrong and defamatory," he said.
"The distribution of this recording always has been and always will be an internal matter for the Liberal party. These allegations have been referred to our lawyers."
The editor-in-chief of the Age, Andrew Holden, told Guardian Australia he stood by the story and Andrews should investigate the matter.
"I'm completely confident the story is accurate given the quality of our source," he said. "An ALP staffer went through the lost property box, found the dictaphone and recognised Farrah's voice. Quite frankly, they should have returned it then.
"From what we understand, the dictaphone has now been destroyed. This is a test for Daniel Andrews, he should hold an inquiry."
Holden said he was unconcerned by the legal threat from Labor.
"You can't defame an organisation, so on that simplistic legal basis, there's no one who can sue," he said. "That said, I'd be happy to defend the Age in front of a jury."
The Victorian treasurer, Michael O'Brien, said the allegations against Labor were "criminal" in nature.
"This goes to the integrity of the Labor party. If Mr Andrews is to be any kind of leader at all, he needs to front up today and answer these questions."
A Victorian Labor spokesman said there would be no further comment other than Andrews's statement.
Labor has a clear lead over the Liberals in the opinion polls in Victoria, with the state election to be held on 29 November.

Why do Stanford's signs only cover North Palo Alto?
Original post made by Midtown resident, Midtown, on Mar 1, 2007
What I'm curious about is why do the signs come to a dead stop at Oregon Expressway? There is not a single sign in South Palo Alto. Is there a reason for this? Given the amount of signage, it seems they could have spared a few signs for us poor un-cultured southies.
Any ideas why this might have happened?
PS Menlo Park is also not included. The signs stop right after Stanford Mall.

My understanding is that the banners are along the portion of El Camino that is owned by Stanford. Hence, they run from around Stanford Ave. north to the Menlo Park border.

Apologies if I'm straying from the topic, but I'm uncertain there is enough signage for Stanford Hospital.
Maybe I've missed spotting them, but so far I've been unable to find signs for the hospital on El Camino, Sand Hill Rd., Junipero Serra Blvd., or Stanford Ave.
I did find a few signs for the hospital on Campus Drive, Arboretum Rd., and Quarry Rd.

Signs to a hospital are important - aren't they usually small and blue? (I recall something like that near El Camino Hospital...) I think when you exit 101 @ the big Embarcadero/Oregon intersection (at least coming from the south off 101) there is a small sign that says "hospital" directing people to go west on Embarcadero. I recently had a confused man ask me directions to the medical clinic (not the hospital) at the gas station on Embarcadero/101.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Mar 18, 2007 at 5:56 pm
I'm not an expert on the topic, but I highly doubt that this move was made a conscious decision to deprive South Palo-Altans of what is "their museum, too." It must be just the Stanford property break - it would be strange to think that Stanford's advertisements would extend allllll the way down El Camino; they'd need to stop somewhere. And why not at the end of their land?

Basic Principles of Poly
I have had some experience in poly (3 years in limited consensual non-monogamy, then 4 years poly), so I'm not a newbie. I am, however, in a position right now where I'm really analyzing *why* I've been poly. I'm trying to figure out the basic principles that made poly resonate for me.
For example, I'm a feminist. Monogamy is a practice that is closely associated with patriarchal control of women's reproduction, and monogamous marriage has historically meant the ownership of women as chattel. Rejecting monogamy felt like rejecting that cultural attitude towards women, rejecting the idea that being in a relationship is all about owning a person.
Also, as a feminist, I have strong feelings about bodily autonomy. I haven't wanted a person in a relationship with me to presume they could control what I do with my body (so long as I am taking reasonable steps to protect their health through safer sex practices).
What else? What are the principles on which you base your decision to be poly?
(In full disclosure, poly is not something that resonates so strongly with me these days, which is why I'm trying to break it down and look at it at all the different angles.)
Simply because I want to have multiple, simultaneous romantic relationships.
I'm a firm believer in equal rights for the LGBT community. I'm straight. I can still support people from the LGBT community and issues that affect people who identify as LGBT without identifying that way myself. I can still feel their relationships are valid and promote that ideal whilst having the heterosexual relationships I desire.

London, thank you for replying, but I guess I'm looking for the next step beyond "because I want to." Unless you are poly simply because it best serves your particular individual desires, and that's totally valid.
Did you mean that "personal desire" is the reason you are poly, nothing more, nothing less?
Hi Becca,
Have you tried doing a search? There is an existing discussion (from merged threads) where people have shared, and continue to share, their viewpoints and experiences on this. Perhaps you will find it illuminating - feel free to add to it:
Why and how did you get into poly?
As for me, I discovered an acquaintance's blog about her practice of poly and I thought, "Oh, I think polyamory would work for me." So, I embraced it - but I could also be very happy to practice monogamy with the right person. For me, it's the dynamic between myself and my lovers that is most important. I did not get into polyamory to seek out any specific configuration or make some kind of political stance - and I like being in relationships with people for what they teach me about myself because, well, relationships are about relating, not making a statement.
The world opens up... when you do.

I'm not sure if this will address your specific situation, but these are some of the conclusions I have come to:
Just as we idolize many characters in stories we watch/read about, because we love their unique contribution to a story, we also can love a variety of personalities in real life. Different people endear us for different reasons.
I think each person's romantic drives are very individualized, and don't necessarily fit into a neat category for the entire human race. What may work for a person may not even last that person's entire lifetime as needs change. Because of that, I think a more free-flowing system of love is more apropos for me. I want to enjoy the present, and if needs change and I need something less committed than poly, I will cross that bridge when it comes.
I retain some kind of romantic love for pretty much all my exes. I was finally able to reconcile these nagging feelings when I accepted about myself that it's okay to love more than one person. I don't just get over the unique contribution that someone made to my life romantically. I become so attached to people I care about, it just isn't in my blood to discard them away completely.
Due to previous experience, I have felt monogamy to be too repressive in some regards. I felt I had to "will" away non-monogamous feelings, when I wanted the freedom to explore them. I have always had a personality of deeply desiring to express myself freely in one outlet or another.
The poly community seems to attract some intellectuals that are similarly philosophical, so I do find I am drawn to that. It's not a deciding factor, but it certainly helps me feel more like I fit in somewhere.
I feel that humans should have the freedom to sculpt their lives as they see fit. As long as it is healthy and consensual, I think any manner of lifestyles are fine.
I think that's it. =) Hope it helps.
Me: K, female, 27. Married to Y for over 4 yrs (male, monogamous, 33). Opened relationship to E (male, monogamous, 27) in a relationship vee.
I know you asked about reasons that people choose to be poly and I can't answer that but I wondered if thought processes going the other way might be of interest to you? Ignore if it's not. I feel like writing right now and thought it might be of interest to somebody.
I was intrigued for a long time when my partner told me about poly. He spent years being non-monogamous and feels that it fits with his personal beliefs. I started researching it and considering it and talking to friends who have been poly and friends who never have been about it. I was keen to understand more and the thought of being open to having multiple relationships resonated with me. I wanted to experience more sex, more love, to have more new experiences. I developed a crush on a female friend of mine and felt attracted more and more often to women. So long as safer sex practises are followed, I believed that could just be a fun activity between friends it was that way for years when I was younger. The theory attracted me and I felt quite excited by it.
The practice, however, made me pause. The more I read about it and the more I spoke to people about it and the more I watched what happens when people do enter into multiple relationships in a world that is set up for monogamy, the more doubt I felt. I see it as very difficult to behave ethically toward other significant others while in a relationship. Or toward a partner. Choices have to be made.
People do manage it but I think it's hard to do. I understand why poly people want a relationship and I think it's a very good idea to treat all close relationships as special. I believe that it is very hard to balance that with having more partners and all people involved being treated ethically in the world we live in. In different worlds, with different expectations, I don't think there would be any reason for worries over ethics.
I have come to the conclusion now that for me non-monogamy is something I might consider if ever I'm at a point in my life where there is nobody in it that I would call a partner. I think that solo poly is something that makes the ethics less problematic for me. If I'm friends with somebody and work to maintain the relationship at that level (a friend of mine and a friend of her's do this beautifully), then I think there is less risk of causing harm to others. This goes for my partner too. I'm not willing to be mono with a poly partner. The work that any partner of mine would have to do to make that work would wind up making it much more likely that they would have to behave unethically toward somebody they were closely involved with. I have no interest in being part of something that carries that level of risk.
So I remain monogamous and also focus lots of time and energy on being present and available with my friends. Thankfully I am part of lots of groups of friends and everybody I am friends with has lots of other friends or a close, romantic partner so nobody depends entirely on me for emotional support.
My partner and I do talk about this fairly regularly and I work to make it clear to him that if he feels strongly that he wants to be poly again, he can tell me and we can work to shift our relationship to one of friendship. So far he doesn't want to do that but he is free to any time that he wants.
For me, monogamy within relationships is not about being owned or controlled it's about taking responsibility and living my life in a way that attempts to do the least harm to myself and those that are close to me.
I remain open to changing my mind in the future but for the moment, this is where I'm at.
In my opinion, things get murky and confusing when people do it for any other reason than because they want to, because it's the relationship style they want to have. You can't organise your love life just to fulfill some political agenda you support and that's what some people do. That would be like me starting a relationship with a woman to show my support for the LGBT community.
I am a feminist, I certainly do not want to be legally owned as chattel, but in a way, I do like feeling possessed. Now, one of my partners is female, and one is male but married to someone else, so I am not legally owned, and have no desire to marry my female partner.
As for the above statement, just a pet peeve, but, as a queer, I hate when transpeople (which is an identity) are lumped in with gay or bi people (which indicates their sexual/romantic interest). I normally just let it go, but since you mentioned it twice, it bugged me. If you met a MtoF person, she might be straight and have no interest in you romantically. If you met a FtoM person, he might be gay and have no interest in you romantically. I hate how transpeople are tacked onto the end of the LGBs like an unwieldy caboose. "Gay marriage," the rallying cry of the so-called Queer Community, does absolutely nothing for transpeople. The ability to use the correct bathroom/locker-room, to dress as one pleases, to have sexual reassignment surgery covered by insurance, are issues barely touched by law at this point. </rant>

I get what you're saying
My point was simply that you don't have to same sex relationships or change your sex/gender in order to show support or acceptance of transpeople or homosexual people and opposition to the inequalities they face
Ha, changing your gender when you are comfortable with your birth identity would be radical and even sick, indeed.
So, being poly when you really aren't capable of loving more than one at a time, just to be anti-patriarchy, pro-female independence, would be likewise needlessly radical.
Now, being in a committed couple, but keeping one's independence in various ways, including eschewing marriage, makes more sense, if one isn't wired poly and doesn't naturally love more than one at a time.
