The McCain people are all over tv trying to claim sexism because their beauty queen vp is being scrutinized. In my opinion this is why they no longer have any credibility with most 'mericans and it's why they're doomed to failure in November.

This is the party, after all, who fought tooth and nail against the Equal Rights Ammendment, the party you can count on to make snide remarks about feminists, the party of red herrings and witchhunts.

Is there a good reason they should be taken seriously anymore?

Well, lets be honest now. They are bashing her because of her 17 year old daughters pregnancy. And then they took a few shots for her husbands DUI in 1986. Oh and just so ya know, they weren’t even married at that time. They married in 1988. And then there’s the shots they have taken because she was an unwed mother. SO YES, ITS SEXISM! If she were liberal they wouldn’t ever take such shots and would bash the heck out of any republican who did. SO DON’T KID YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, actually, if she were a Dem every Rush Limburger out there would be calling her a selfish, ambitious femi-nazi for not staying home and taking care of her new baby.

I don't see it as sexism...I see it as the other party doing what they always do...bring down the opposing candidates wit smut...no matter what it is they can dig up....I guess they don't feel they can get elected om their own merits so they have to try to ruin whoever might be at risk for getting elected....wine

This is just something I found online and even though I don't like sarcasm, this seemed worth passing along:


Restoring America's Image - Who better than a former beauty queen to add some new luster to America's battered image? Palin will take a proverbial can of Aqua Net to our nation's unruly hair, and apply liberal (no pun intended) amounts of blush to Lady Liberty's cheekbones. In a word, she'll dazzle the world with her charm and style. Even the most anti-Western extremists will melt when they see the People and Vanity Fair spreads of Sarah warming her fur-lined extremities over burning science textbooks. And how would Obama restore our leadership in the world? The question we should be asking is: why does he only have two children, while Sarah has at least twice that number? What does Senator Obama have against America's children?

A little 'double standard' commentary from Susan Estrich, campaign manager of the Dukakis campaign:

I like the idea of a stay-at-home dad/househusband.

Most Dads can do just as well as most Moms.

She's speechifying right now and it's hard to imagine her in the Oval Office. She's a lot like the rest of us and I don't understand why that's a good thing.

Do you want a liar and a cheat in there instead who can't relate or doesn't care to relate to what the average Joe citizen wants or needs in the country?????

I'm sorry, I've not been keeping up with all this, just the headlines and that's about more than I care to know, but does she not look just like Karen on Will & Grace?

Not saying that's a bad thing. laugh

Just for a change of pace we should hire someone smarter and better than the rest of us. She came across as sarcastic and angry and not very presidential.
