What Hillary Should Say Now

Here we go again putting the snazzy new guy in charge because the older woman was so yesterday and then realizing that the company doesn't actually run when there is no one in charge. Well no dice let oh blah blah fight his own battles.

Actually Sarah Palin has tremendous appeal even to democratic women. We are reaching across the aisle to work with our fellow republicans just like Obama told us he would. Palin may not believe in abortion but I can respect and work with someone and understand their concerns and not agree with them. In spite of what the blogs would have you believe Palin supports contraception and does not want to abolish the teaching of evolution from schools. I can admire the fact that she took on the good old boys in her town and then even fought and beat an entrenched governor and a former governor all based on standing up for what is right. And then in the short time she ahs been governor she got a large part of what she promised done -most importantly the deal that the prior governor said the oil companies would never agree to. All women should be proud of Palin and her accomplishments.

Obama and his shills want to make our support for women to only be about Roe v Wade but it isn't. It is about supporting strong women who fight for good things. I may not agree with Palin on choice but I sure agree with her stance against corruption and making government work for (in her case ) Alaskans. They now have a bigger share in the wealth of their state because of her.

If women had voted their identity Hillary would be our nominee and this wouldn???t be an issue. It is way too late to think that Hillary should save you from your wrong choices now.

More than asking Hillary to speak for us, we should be speaking up for ourselves. I am insulted and outraged by the Republicans thinking that women will vote for anyone just because she is a woman, whether or not she shares our values or where she stands on our issues. What kind of role model is a woman who essentially describes herself as a pit bull with lipstick, goes back to work within days of giving birth to a special needs child, and leaves her pregnant teenage daughter to care for the baby? Can you imagine, if it were Hillary's daughter that was unmarried and pregnant at seventeen, what these Palinistas would have said? They would have berated progressives for having no morals, for letting our personal ambitions override our maternal responsibilities, etc etc ad infinitum. OK, so the daughter is off limits, but the VP candidate is not. No free pass for Sarah Palin!

And to the disgruntled Clintonistas trying to milk this situation: wake up and smell the BS. Do not place on Senator Clinton the burden of your own frustrations. Take a page out of her book and show some class, like she is doing. Work to elect Obama-Biden, like she is doing. .

Thank you for a very eloquent letter which expresses my views and hopefully the views of many other women. I hope Hillary is listening and uses her voice and platform to speak for us.

The Palin-McCain ticket is bankrupt in ideas. McCain has voted with Bush over 95% of the time, but he acts like he is going to "go to Washington" to make changes. He has been part of a Republican government that has led for much of the past 8 years. We are now $10 trillion in debt (much of it to Russia, China and Saudi Arabia), fighting two wars, have weakened ability to respond to any other global crisis, have a lowered standing within the world

Palin is short on facts, weak on real experience (seriously - dig into the "accomplishments" in Alaska before giving her much credit for anything), incredibly smug, undiplomatic and prone to lies and exaggeration. I do not see anything presidential about her.

Obama is a born leader with real ideas and a true desire to make changes. He has reached across parties lines on many occasions. His ideas for health care reform, true tax cuts for 85% of Americans and his ability to raise America's status on a global stage will really move America forward.

I wonder what color the sky is in Ms. Davis' world. Palin "rude and "snarki??" Palin can't hold a candle to ole Hill's "rudennes and snarkiness."

Ms. Davis is simply distraught because the republican party found a better speaker (in Palin) for their brand of political rhetoric than the dems did (in B. Hussein Obama). Arguably Palin's not much more qualified to be president than B. Hussein, but that's why she's running as VICE president.

Hillary's tears over our country where no more real than Davis' sincerity when she states : " We respect the right of other women to raise and educate their children the way they see fit." Except, of course if you disagree with the political and social left-wing.

I'll be glad when this thing is over. In fact I'd rather just see California, Texas, New York and half a dozen other states secede so we can stop having this useless debate every 4 years. Depending on your political affiliation, you'd have a place "to go" and fit right in.

Here we go again putting the snazzy new guy in charge because the older woman was so yesterday and then realizing that the company doesn't actually run when there is no one in charge. Well no dice let oh blah blah fight his own battles.

Actually Sarah Palin has tremendous appeal even to democratic women. We are reaching across the aisle to work with our fellow republicans just like Obama told us he would. Palin may not believe in abortion but I can respect and work with someone and understand their concerns and still not agree with them. In spite of what the blogs would have you believe Palin supports contraception and does not want to abolish the teaching of evolution from schools. I can admire the fact that she took on the good old boys in her town and then went on to fight and beat an entrenched governor all based on standing up for what is right. And then in the short time she has been governor she got a large part of what she promised done -most importantly the deal that that Murkowski said the oil companies would never agree to. All women should be proud of Palin and her accomplishments.

Obama and his shills want to make our support for women to only be about Roe v Wade but it isn't. It is about supporting strong women who fight for good things. I may not agree with Palin on choice but I sure agree with her stance against corruption and making government work for the people (in her case Alaskans). They now have a bigger share in the wealth of their state because of her.

If women had voted their identity, Hillary would be our nominee and this wouldn???t be an issue. It is way too late to think that Hillary should save you from your wrong choices now.

I too want to hear from Hillary and any other powerful female democrat, i.e. Pelosi. I resent the fact that the Republicans are forcing us to accept Palin and her family and morale dramas as representative of a normal American family. Which American family are they referring to? Since when is it OK to for a 17 yr-old to marry her boyfriend? What do they know about love and what it takes to make a marriage work? All this pro-life crap and so-called Christian values only lead to poorly adjusted children and an unhappy marriage or divorced parents.

We need a woman with a voice to ensure that this country and its women are not mislead.

To zyxwvut: No - Palin did not shut down the Bridge to nowhere - it was already on its way down and she was just there when it formally was done. But the money allocated was not returned - it was left with Alaska for other projects - over 223 million dollars. Do you know of any state that receives more pork funding per capita? Check it out! Sarah Palin deserves credit for those cuts that she was responsible for. But don't extrapolate that to say that she is going to bring down the deficit. It is a long way up there. If McCain could not do it in 30 years (22 of which were under republican administrations) what makes you think she will do it?

Remember what Sarah said in her speech about being a mayor that left her town with a surplus? SARAH LIED! More truths are coming out.

The biggest project that Sarah Palin undertook as mayor of this small town was an indoor sports complex, where locals played hockey, soccer, and basketball, especially during the long, dark Alaskan winters.

The only catch was that the city began building roads and installing utilities for the project before it had unchallenged title to the land. The misstep led to years of litigation and at least $1.3 million in extra costs for a small municipality with a small budget. What was to be Ms. Palin's legacy has turned into a financial mess that continues to plague Wasilla.

"It's too bad that the city of Wasilla didn't do their homework and secure the land before they began construction," said Kathy Wells, a longtime activist here. "She was not your ceremonial mayor; she was in charge of running the city. So it was her job to make sure things were done correctly."

"If people are going to be voting on her based on her experience as Wasilla's mayor, then they should know how she did in the job,"

This country needs a strong president and Obama doesn't fit that bill that's why he picked Biden because Biden has a big mouth and it go him in trouble at one time. The only reason Hillary might campaign for Obama is because she doesn't want to lose her senate seat. I definately know that Bill Clinton does not like Obama and neither does Hillary. That is just a pretense. And knowing how Hillary got cheated the women of this country should vote for McCain to give Obama and Pelosi a slap in the face. That is what I am doing. Why let him get away with it. Palin is like me. I would have dared Pelosi to do to me what she did to Hillary and I would have laid it into her in no uncertain terms. Hillary didn't do that. Cancelled out her roll call and only allowed 32 states to count their delegates. Obama is arrogant and needs to be put in his place and Plain will do it.

What this article eloquently states is that it is wrong to jump on the bandwagon of someone just because of her gender. Sarah Palin has allowed herself to be the sarcastic, snarky puppet of a bunch of white men afraid of losing an election. Her behavior is exactly what I advise my two young girls against. No role model. No vote from me or most of the other intelligent and thoughtful Hillary supporters. Blindling throwing our support upon this fully unqualified political gimmick makes me sad for women everyone.
