I don't care if Pailin's fifth child is a special needs baby; if she can care for the kid, good for her. But while Palin's gone hog-wild with this GOP family values/Bible belt/anti-abortion hooey, her underage kid is having sex before marriage. Oh, and Governor Palin? Cut funding to help homeless teenage mothers. Hypocrisy, IMO, is the real issue. Republicans only cry sexism when they’re called their tokenism and hypocrisy.

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 18:52:34 +0000 http://queenofspainblog.com/?p=1013#comment-62626 I think you miss the point of the first quote entirely--- You have every right to disagree with Palin's policies. And by all means, don't support her JUST because she's a woman-- that would be foolish. BUT... to use these arguments: “Palin can’t campaign because she has a special needs baby!” “Palin can’t possibly run for VP while her daughter is going through a major life transition!” “Palin endangered her baby by being governor while pregnant!”, ALL OF WHICH have been used against her, is hypocritical and undermines the feminist platform of the Democratic party altogether.

Frankly, anyone who suggests she shouldn't run b/c of her kids is a 1950's throwback. It's just hilarious that the conservatives are all over this "feminism" thing only now, with a VP candidate they must (although can't quite really) defend. I think the Republicans are just annoyed that we won't automatically vote for anyone with a vagina. THANK YOU, Erin!

There is a HUGE difference between a highly qualified female candidate (Clinton) compared to touting oneself as a PTA president. As if that is even close to comparable. However, I can get past that. What I cannot get past is her policy stances, and the republican party's willingness to openly mock women as fools who will vote for ANY woman. No matter what. That in itself sets back the advancements of women. I am worked up. I need some of those deep breaths... I’m smoking too.

Does that help? Either that or its prozac in the water. There are few things that scare the bejeezue out of me. Sarah Palin and John McCain are two of them. What it boils down to, is what I wrote in my last post on September 1: its not about birth control/rights/right to life/abortion. Its about CHOICE. I live in a pot belt. Does that help?
