Women in the Spotlight

Alvy.... I heard to from a friend of mine how MC Cain sold confidential infos to the communists... I also heard by people who were in vietnam at the time that he does not want the government to release M I As records. It is because they know something we don't? I also heard he was a traitor from the same POWs I know.

The media along with many dems and the Obama campaign had been beating on Sarah Palin hard for atleast 4 days. Sarah showed during her speech that not only can she take mulitple punches but she can throw mulitple punches and she is up for the challenge. I LOVE that fighting spirit in her! I respect it. Sarah Palin isn't here to start any fights but she is letting the MSM and Obama campaign know that she won't run from a fight either! Gotta Love it!!

As much as it pains me to criticize the candidate who I have STRONG defended, I must! It truly disappoint me to see how Clinton, who fought so hard during the primaries and promised her supporters that she would stand with us as long as we stood with her simply give in, throw out her principles and support a candidate and a party that did everything they could to destroy her. Obama NEVER even seriously considered her for VP or even consulted with her about it. Now that Palins in the picture, the Obama camp is worried and they should be. So what does he do--his camp assembles a team of high profile women to campaign for him and YES Hillary is one of those women who is a part of that team. Sorry but I simply CAN NOT respect that!

I like McCain's stance when he says, he'd rather lose an election than lose the war. Those are principles. It seems that Hill is more concerned about her career within the same party that treated her and her husband like dogs than standing up for her principles. Very disappointed! She talked about the little girls that she was inspiring well to me, what she is telling the little girls that it is ok to be turned on by your own party and then allow them to use you! Sorry, that is simply NOT a lesson I want my girls to be a part of! Very disappointed!

It really looks like McCain made a GREAT choice with Palin and again, I LOVE her fighting spirit! She is truly a breath of fresh air!!

McCain, you outdid yourself with this one!!

McCain/Palin--- 08

The media is Obama and Obama is the media .... there is no longer a line and I'm sure NBC, Newsweek and the rest are being paid by Obama. Obama is a straight up woman hater.

How is Sarah Palin an embarrassment? How is she a flake?

Is this because of her social policy positions? I don't agree with her social policy positions. However, when I look at her actions, I see that she delivers economically for her constitutents and I know that I couldn't hope to handle half, or even a quarter, of what she handles on a daily basis. I'm in awe of her capability.

On social policy, it seems to me that she tries to make room for different points of view. Let's teach evolution AND creationism, not one or the other. Make up your own mind. That is actually the American way. Progressive left wing dogma is just as flaky to some Americans as conservative right wing dogma is to other Americans. Watch who you call a flake, because, to many Americans, the flake is Barack Obama.

I am a mother, a school teacher and an educated woman, and more than anything I know being a mom is tough. But what I don't understand is what makes Palin some sort voice for women everywhere. She has yet to explain how she even feels about the issuses cause she's too busy taking shots at Obama. What does she want to do to change these schools that are so very under funded or what can she really do to help teenage mothers like some tuition assistance so they can better themselves for the sake of their children. Woman or no woman, she can't help until she knows what the real problems are.

I'm not sure about Palin. As a career woman, I get it. All the hard work it takes to balance home and work. Yet, my work only affects me and my children. Not the children of the entire nation. That is a lot to take on and mind you, I am not being sexist, far from it. However, realistically speaking it puts a little knot in my stomach that her views and decisions will affect all of our children. I like so far what little I have seen about her. She is a spitfire...good for her. Yet I still have that knot. Education begins in the home but when you need back up it sure is nice to know that your government is there to assist. Darn that knot in my stomach. I know I am not the only woman who likes her but feels a gut feeling that she is just not quite right for us and our children. I hope I am really wrong.

She is just palin bad for America...

As a mother of a "special needs" child, I cannot vote for Sarah Palin. She put herself and her unborn disabled child in serious jeopardy by flying to Texas to give a speach. I can never understand why she felt the need to by-pass medial facilities (even in Alaska) that are experienced in dealing with premature births especially a high risk births.

How could a mother put her political aspirations above her daughter? She had to know by announcing the pregnancy of her unmarried 17 year old daughter was going to put Bristol right in the headlights. I can not understand why approving a marriage at this young age will somehow make it all right.

It seems to me she would need to get her house in order before she sets her sites on the rest of the country.

I don't believe she has any idea what she is in for with a disabled infant. It's great her husband will have nothing else to work on but the children. But where are her motherly feelings??

"We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby" indicates that young Bristol did have a choice (regardless of her mother's morals) and exercised that right. Funny how Ms. Palin would like to take that choice away from all of the other 17-year-olds in the same position not lucky enough to have a mom tapped to be veep.

I whole harted agree that family members should be off limits. But double standers is another thing.

Every person who is considering voting in November MUST read this. They took the video link off line. But I think enough people saw it and even if they didn???t see it the below statements are true. And I can bet when bloggers do reads this and if they have been listening to cable news, they will remember some if not all of these things truthfully happening. Now if we can get them to Air the Truth.
It shows three things:

1. Karl Rove criticized the fact that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine was a possible VP pick for Obama. He said that because he used to be the Mayor of Richmond which has a small population (about 200,000) in comparison to others in the US, and also that he'd only been governor for 3 years (population 7 million), he claimed that this did not constitute sufficient executive experience and would just be a "political pick" rather than concern of the person's capability to be present of the U.S. It then shows him complimenting Sarah Palin's executive experience as Mayor of Wasila (population 9,000) and then as Governor of Alaska (population about 700,000) for 2 years.

2. It shows Fox News host Bill O'Reilly arguing that the pregnancy of Bristol Palin is a personal family issue and they should not be bothered. Then it shows another video of him blaming Jaime Lynn Spears' parents for her teenage pregnancy.

3. It shows a video of Dick Morris criticizing people for the supposed sexism against Sarah Palin. It then shows a video of him saying that when Hillary Clinton comes under fire she hides behind the sexism defense and can't handle the big boys. It also shows a video of Sarah Palin back in March saying that women shouldn't whine when there's excess criticism or a sharper microscope put on them but rather work harder and prove themselves. It also shows McCain Senior Policy Advisor Nancy Pfotenhauer criticizing Hillary Clinton for playing the gender and victimization card and complaining of sexism, then saying that Sarah Palin is a victim of sexism.

Since this board seems to be overwhelmingly Democrats, I was wondering about the 18 million who voted for Hillary. Do you not feel betrayed by B.O.'s pick for VP? He had a perfect opportunity to practically guarantee a victory by including you in his VP pick, but he apparently takes your votes for granted. Why not Hillary? Make no mistake, she now is in a very uncomfortable position. At best, it shows flawed judgement on his part. At worst, it shows textbook narcissism (his not wanting anyone to take any of the spotlight off of him for any reason). Hillary voters, are you out there?

According to the Huffington Post:

Palin Slashed "Special Schools" Funding In Alaska

She also won applause on issues regarding special needs of children. But in the "State of Alaska Fiscal Year 2008 Governor's Operating Budget" the "Department of Education and Early Development Special Schools Component Budget Summary" reveals that funds were cut by 38 percent for the fiscal year of 2008-09.

Chelsea Clinton was "off limits" to the press so we really don't know what she was up to during her parents career days!.
Jacob, you need to know there is a difference between how we treat soldiers and terrorists! Someone sho is "hell bent" on killing innocent people doesn't deserve the same treatment that rules of engagement offer!

In answer to the divorcee who asked, "How does she have time for politics when she's raising five children?" , I say, "that's why you need a two parent family."

The democrats have to prove they are patriotic, but everyone knows the republicans love their country, they just hate half the people in it.

THE CARNAGE LEFT BEHIND IN THIS COUNTRY BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SHOULD BE ENOUGH INCENTIVE FOR ANYONE TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC. THIS SHOULD BE A NO-BRAINER. REPUBLICANS HAD BETTER WAKE UP AND TAKE OFF THEIR BLINDERS ESPECIALLY WHERE SARAH PALIN IS CONCERNED. CHECK HER RECORD DURING THE YEARS SHE WAS GOVENOR OF ALASKA AND MAYOR OF WASILLA. IT IS THERE FOR ANYONE TO SEE. IT IS TRULY ALARMING. THIS WOMAN COULD BE A HEARTBEAT AWAY FROM A 73 YR OLD PRESIDENT WHO HAS SUFFERED FROM CANCER 3 TIMES AND WAS BEATEN AND TORTURED IN A POW PRISON FOR 5 YEARS.

Sarah Palin and the Republicans have been talking about that airplane she sold on ebay. They forgot the facts could be checked. Read the following:

"In fact, the jet did not sell on eBay. It was sold to a businessman from Valdez named Larry Reynolds, who paid $2.1 million for the plane -- shy of the $2.7 million purchase price -- according to news reports at the time. Reynolds contributed to Palin's campaign in 2006.

So much for the "maverick reformer". More half truths and lies. Bush/Cheney = McCain/Palin
