He Loves Those Beauty Queens!

If one more person writes or calls me with excitement about Sarah Palin, I am going to lose my lunch.  Do they know who they are calling?  Do they know who this woman is?  Do they think that a pro-life, pro-gun, human being would possibly make me happy as VP and, most likely, President? 

Let us get this really CLEAR.  Mrs. Governor Palin actually believes that she owns the womb of a woman who has been raped, a woman who is an incest victim, a woman who could die in childbirth.  She actually believes that no pregnancy, at anytime or for any reason,  should be terminated.   This is the most fundamental plank in the feminist platform.  It is non-negotiable.  The gender of the person who holds this belief has no influence on them being or not being a feminist.  SHE IS NOT.

Here is the good news.  This has removed, once and for all, any slams at Senator Obama being inexperienced.   She, admittedly, knows nothing about foreign policy.  My highest hope is that as she studies and discovers that her son may be killed for no reason in Iraq, she may come to a sane position of the Democrats and want to leave Iraq.   

She does not think that global warming is made by humans.  That is some kinda bad news for Alaska.  It is really bad news for polar bears which she thinks should be taken off the endangered list.  Maybe she wants to eat them too.   And she believes in creationism, maybe she can explain that to the science Nobels.  Frankly I would rather be a daughter of the chimpanzees than her. 

So here is a gross observation; McCain has some kind of trip for beauty queens.  Carol McCain, Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin all competed in the world of beauty.  McCain is such a Loser!

For anyone who wants the short reliable answer, A FEMINIST IS A PERSON WHO BELIEVES AND BEHAVES AS IF WOMEN AND MEN ARE EQUAL.  That means if you are a feminist, you voluntarily pay women the same as men; you support a Christian woman find a way to give up a baby for adoption and a woman find a clinic that provides abortion services.  It means you believe that equality of rights cannot be denied or abridged on account of sex.

I too have been feeling nauseous listening to McCain's 'trophy VP'. Well, if we wanted the 'contrast' we have it now. Do they really think women are so stupid we will vote for 'anything in a skirt'?

thank yo Zoe, for once again being the voice of reason.

Zoe, Thank you for your brilliant commentary and insight.No woman (or man) in their right mind would view this woman as an alternative to Hillary. Sarah Pelin nomination is an insult to this nation. When I saw her smiling and describing herself as a PTA "hockey" mom, I was in total disbelief. We know how much the Republican Party cares about women. This woman is just a female version. Think Supreme Court appointment. Think Roe v. Wade. Think , as you said this woman's support of the notion of creationism. We need to all work to defeat McCain.
