From Seneca Falls to … Sarah Palin?

How can this woman who has never been to an Ivy League School, has never spent a single summer in Long Island, Martha's Vineyard, or the Berkshires, be qualified to be Vice President of this great country?

As a woman, I applaud her hard work for the things she believes in and the progress she has made in Alaska. But she is not qualified to be VP, and God forbid, president. Her speeches sound like they are written by Karl Rove. Yes, a fresh face, but no new ideas. How is that change or progress for our nation? Why are people trying to protect her like she can't take care of herself? Last time I checked "barracudas" did not need protection from the media or anyone else. Let her speak about the issues and please listen to what she says. She sounds like George Bush, who I voted for once. We liked him too, but he has not been a good president. She has provided no solutions for the failing economy, education, health care, or ending the war. I assume that the people (men and women) who are so impressed with Palin do care about all of those issues. She can wrap herself in the American flag and she may be patriotic, but she does not have the capacity to lead this country. Stop the mud slinging. Focus on the issues and facts not the fan fair.

This election is too important to vote or not vote for someone because of gender, age or race or on ONE issue, like abortion. No candidate is perfect, but as a progression society, we should be making decisions that don't involved petty issues.

If polices were the issue, Obama would never win. He has changed his stand on so many things so many times, even his own campaign people can't keep up. He is a fraud. From day one all his less than desirable traits, have been pushed aside and hidden under the liberal press agenda.
Wonder why we never hear from his "minister" again? The raciest black church he and his family attended for over 20 years, and now Palin's religion is being called into question by the liberal news media and made an issue of!!
If gender plays a roll, then I am for a white less than perfect woman who is as qualified as the raciest black man.Save your indignation for someone who gives a Crap!!

The campaign hit a new low over the weekend when Bill Clinton was overheard saying at an Obama fundraiser that Sarah Palin reminded him of Paula Jone and that he could get her to squeal like a pig with lipstick. Unbelievable. What is he going to say next?

Did Dana Singister, Osama???s senior adviser on women voters advise him on the Joe Biden VP selection?

It is so funny that the McCain supporters won't answer my question. Why is Sarah Palin's husband and son still a member of the AIP? Another question.... Why did Sarah Palin want rape victims to pay for their own rape kit when she was the mayor of Wasilla? I am still waiting for those answers! Hillary supporters can jump in on the second question.

As an over 50, middle class woman, who has paved the way for women like Palin, I find her a disgrace to my own gender. She says that now women will be taken seriously, and that we can knock on any door and it opens (to that effect on her nomination speech). Please, can we say Hillary Clinton, Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Baden, Gloria Steinem. These were pioneers, not this loose cannon, Palin. I watch her speak, carry on, look at 30-something women thinking she has something to offer of substance and am amazed at how ignorant some women are. Do you REALLY want some obsessed/vicious/my-way-or-the-higway woman in charge of our country should the situation arise? I personally cannot even fathom that kind of lunacy. She has had her eye on this Presidency for many years according to friends, and like many men and women, will walk over, around, crush, anything or anyone who gets in her way. She isn't even in the same class as Hillary Clinton, and to refer to herself as some pioneer is really delusional.She is most definitely not the first governor in this country, mayor, or major political figure. God help us all if this one gets her hands on anything. Those 30-somethings will regret their decision.

Comment: I had heard this also about Obama. Obama has no women in the top spots either on his campaign staff.
Can you say .... CHAUVINIST PIG? I gave him a pass on the "SWEETIE" comment several months back but I think I was very wrong when I gave him the benefit of the doubt on that one...I really do think that he looks down on women.


Not to be racist, but Obama shows characteristics of being more a chauvinistic muslim than a Christian. That is how I see it and if voters, especially women voters don't wake up, he will bring changes that you won't like.

I am white, middle class, 51 yrs old, and educated. As much as I would love to have a woman president or VP in the White House, I care more about my future and the future of my children, and grandchildren. I'm going to pick the most qualified individual. That's what women have been fighting for-choose the most qualified versus race or gender. Anyone with common sense can see Palin is just a smoke screen for McCain. She is NOT Qualified!! And McCain is a rendition of Bush!! LADIES.... WAKE UP! YOU ARE EMBARRASSING ME!! Hillary, I voted for because is was extremely qualified, but Palin is NOT! McCain/Palin scare the Hell out of me. The next best choice is Obama and Biden. They are honest, intelligent, level headed, and have national experience covering a plethora of National Issues including Foreign Policy. Obama and Biden compliment one another. In Fact, Biden is Chairman of the congressional Foreign Relations Committee. Believe me when I tell you, are nation and our Children are Doomed if McCain was in the White House, and You will only have yourselves to blame!
Ladies; Did you know that McCain Voted Against Equal Pay for Women ?!! Did you know he voted against a healthcare!! McCain HAS VOTED 90% of the time with BUSH!! HE SOLD HIS SOLE TO THE DEVIL.

I hate that Palin's nomination is essentially a publicity stunt and the focus has been stolen from the actual people that would be president- almost makes you wonder if they are pandering Palin even more given McCain's age... Just because there is a female nomine doesn't mean she should be voted for- I just hope there aren't too many STUPID AMERICAN WOMEN out there that vote for gender instead of policy
