i was once naive enough to think i understood women. the bottom line is palin got where she is by being a hypocrite. for that fact alone. to me, she is ugly.

I believe that the nation is not ready for a minority as president, mostly not at this critical time of economic crisis and war. We need to keep our heads focused on our future as a nation , not making history on electing a minority into office.

I notice a majority of negative comments regarding Sarah Palin. She's not a good role model for women, she hasn't held a leadership position long enough, the State she is governor of is too small, she has a few skeletons in her closet. What petty, picky reasons. Let me tell you something, Sarah Palin has managed to accomplish something that few women have been able to do.
Dispelling the arguments:
1-She has done something, in fact, that Obama, McCain and Biden have been unable to do - had the opportunity to govern a state. Obama's 1-1/2 years in the Senate does not give him more experience at governing anything over Palin's mayoral and governorships - contrary to what seems to be popular belief. Regardless of how little the population of Alaska is - she has had the chance to govern more people than both presidential candidates combined, even if you through in the other running mate. So that argument, I believe throws the population of Alaska out as a consideration.
2- Her daughter is pregnant: And your point is? Her daughter is the only pregnant teen in the United States? I seriously doubt that we would find many people that haven't either been the product of a single mother, know a single mother or be a single mother herself. I doubt it's worse than the Kennedy family reputation of rapists and murderers, but no one is suggested that Ted Kennedy resign his influential position because a few of his children were numbskulls.
3- Sarah Palin was "handed" her potential position in politics: To use Hillary Clinton as a comparison - maybe not the best. No one heard of her outside or Arkansas until her husband ran for president. Any potential position in politics that she has, she's gotten from being married to him. I doubt Mrs. Palin was elected to her posts in Alaska becuase so many people admired her husband. Ms. Palin may have more in common with Nancy Pelosi. Perhaps someone would like to try to garnish the similarities between them, but Nancy Pelosi hasn't lost a Democrat bid for the Presidency.
Face it, there have only been 43 chances for the Presidency. Not one candidate has worked for a Fortune 500 corporation, most likely wouldn't have been hired by one, have only dealt with the private sector when negotiated having their homes cleaned or lawns mowed (or plowed) or their children cared for. The only person in politics that I'm aware of in my locale that has been totally exposed to the private sector is Rep. Caroline McCarthy, who's husband was tragically murdered on the LIRR by Colin Ferguson. A housewife that had to budget and pay bills, worried about real estate taxes and electric bills and saved to send a son through college and was really exposed and aware of the problems faced by the middle class. Neither McCain or Obama have a clue on what we have going through our heads and what makes us bite our nails.

This whole worthless discussion shows exactly what the problem with "feminism" in America. We don't need a dialogue about race ... we need an intelligent discussion on gender. The media is the absolute worst perpetrator. The US is light years behind Europe in their views on women. Talking about fashion when it comes to women in politics? Yeah, we've got real depth here. Thanks Newsweek for your usual fluff and lack of substance.

In a few weeks we will make a choice that will decide our future.
I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
Also, he perfectly predicted the current real estate market meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen in the next couple years
is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
The government took them over because they are essentially bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything in the last 80 years.
McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand exactly what is broken.
It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use complex mathematical models very few people understand.
Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He didnt realize that anything was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
So why are the polls even close then ?
Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
Let's teach him we are smarter than that .

Some women are smart enough to know that we don't have to fight other women for power, there is enough to go around, each of us should be secure in our knowledge of ourselves and what we can do for the world. I did not f eel that with Sarah Palin. Instead I felt she was a women who was in this race for herself and not for the Good of the of Country. She was backstabbing, greedy and totally superfical. When all the truth comes forward about her and it will, she won't symbolize what a true femanist or humanist is.

McCain picking Palin just showed what a tired old out-of-it guy he is-He just picked her because he thought she 'looked good', he's not the first guy to get burned bad on a female that way. But, what is surprising, is that a presidential candidate would screw up that bad with a VP choice.
