Can You Say ‘Sexist’?

This VP pick is a distraction. You all think her sex has nothing to do with any of it. Seriously, do you REALLY think McCain would have picked a man with the same qualifications as Palin? Get a grip. I want a smart president this time and when you look at Obama v McCain, the choice is clear. Obama is obviously much more intelligent. Let's do something great for our country and not vot YET again against our own best interests. McCain and Palin are fighters and that's the last thing we need in Washington - more fights.

WELCOME BACK REAGAN DEMS.

the Dems have nominated a know nothing, sexist, malcontent and a do nothing for VP again!

Sweet!

Really what is happening here is typical: The D's talk about putting women and minorities in power, the R's just do it with little or no talk.

With the D's it takes spending millions of dollars, approval from the ivy league elite, backroom promises they'll never step out of line or think on their own, etc...

With the R's, they simply notice that everyday people still matter and their perspective is no less because they aren't an attorney or a DC elitist.

Women are the backbone of the Republican party and always will be. The D's point out there aren't many women are minorty R's in Congress but fail to mention that everytime one gets in there, the D's spend all of their money and resources to beat them.

NOBAMA WORKED AS A "COMMUNITY ORGANIZER"!

That entails working for ACORN and committing voter fraud.

He also voted against banning infanticide.

Torture a baby - coddle a terrorist.

No wonder NObama is tanking in the polls!

The hypocrit cries hypocrisy.

It's wrong to refuse to ask questions about work and being a mother AQ says, in the same breath that she criticizes the republicans for having opposed women in the workplace.

The media, and especially democrats haven't asked these questions of a man in a similar circumstance, so how can they justify demanding that they be answered now?

If you want to ask why and how Palin juggles being a parent and working, the same questions should have been asked of Obama, who also has two young children.

As a lifelong democrat and social liberal, I am certainly surprised that the democratic candidate's personal choices reinforce the traditional "conservative" image of family responsibilities divided along gender lines with the woman responsible for childcare instead of it being a shared responsibility (has Obama ever attended a PTA meeting or held a PTA office? Did Michelle?) while the republican candidates seem content to challenge the pattern, McCain content that his wife holds the more highly valued position in the work world, and Palin's husband perfectly comfortable holding the baby.

Personal choice isn't the only issue for owmen. Neither is equal pay. We have to change society to change the way women are treated. Electing a woman to the VP job would move us a long way along that path.

Too bad the democrats didn't think it was important enough to move beyond the primary infighting. Of course Obama should have taken the lead there. If he was half the "unifier" he claims to be, it shouldn't have posed any problem at all to get HRC on his ticket.

But the truth is that Obama is not the one to unite us.

And if elected, McCain and Palin won't be able to get Roe v. Wade overturned without Democrats going along, because any judicial nominee would have to be approved by the democrats.

Why did Obama not put Hillary Clinton on the ticket? All other questions and answers are distractions. She got more vote than anyone else in the history of presidential primaries. What was her crime? By putting Biden on the ticket, Democratic party basically told us that we cannot have a Democratic woman in the white house for at least the next 16 years. Even 24 by their estimate. Surely the Democratic power brokers are counting on 8 years of Obama and then 8 years of Biden. After which the power would inevitably swing to the Republicans. If this is not insult upon injury for the women, what is? Basically the Democratic Party has decided to hold women hostage on the single issue of pro-choice. But I will vote for Palin because neither she nor McCain have ever acted on their social views while governing. That's it.

Take a look at the Community Advisors VP choice.

What an idiot Biden is.

A 2 time loser for the Dem nomination

Voted against freeing Kuwait

Voted for the Iraq War

Voted against funding for the troops

Palin will destroy the do nothing Gasbag in the coming debates!

We're laughing, Anna. You're helping McCain/Palin get elected. The media backlash is building. You're look ing like a tragic, bitter, frightened and elite, wimp. Oh, since when is 100 days in the U.S. Senate (before declaring a bit for President) and being a community organizer a good resume for leadership of the U.S.?

Thanks, Anna. You're helping her get elected. The backlash is growing!

I've recently learned that being a feminist is only for the far left, it never was for all women. And since when has being a community organizer and 100 days in the U.S. Senate been a resume for being President. Get over it, Anna. She makes you look like an elite wimp.

The Dem female hero is Hillary.

Her experience amounts to being the wife of an impeached President.

That's it folks!

Vote for Obama. It doesn't take him 26 years to get 26 years worth of experience.

Hillary won't do that. You write as if voters think carefully through these things. People choose their mates after 6 minute speed dating for goodness sake. You think choosing a president is more important than that? It's not.

Hillary won't say so. You write as if voters give these issues more than 5 minutes thought. For goodness sake, people choose their mates after 6 minute speedy introductions and you think they choose presidents more carefully. C'mon.

Ever hear of Condolezza Rice? The GOP is open to women and minorities in its highest positions. Ever hear of Mary Cheney? Did the GOP (right left or center) question a candidate having an openly lesbian daughter? Was she hidden away? No she was highly visible in 2000/2004. In fact it was Kerry, to his doom, that tried to exploit Mary Cheney's sexual orientation in the debates, by trying to drive a wedge between Christian conservatives and the Bush/Cheney Ticket. History shows, that failed. Republicans are not as black and white as liberals believe.
