The Nation: Enough With The Feminism, Time For Some Tough Questions

[tbweb]

I was against Sen. Obama initially for the same reasons I`m against Gov. Sarah Palin now, I didn`t know him and I don`t know her. But for the last 20 months I`ve had a chance to know Sen. Obama who was vetted by the Press, read his books, checked him out and changed my mind. Republicans are only giving us 60 days to do the same with Sarah Palin as opposed to 20 months for Sen. Obama! Unfortunately for Sarah Palin the information coming out about her does not look good and we have to wait for the outcome of a court case with `TrooperGate` to know if Palin is officially corrupt in the eyes of the Law! Not a good start or choice in my opinion.

McCain is 72 years old. The odds are against him. We don''t want a Palin Presidency either.

Great article, it''s about time for the questions and answers from Palin -- she can''t have it both ways. This is the typical application of double-standards for republicans.

I am not a liberal...I am a realist. Conservative thinking has been pulled so far to the right that it makes "liberal" thinking the real mainstream. Faith based optimism, which Bush and now Palin subscribe to, is NOT working. And if I did subscribe to such thinking, even I would have to question whether higher forces such as the Almighty and even mother nature are truly on board.

What a hipocrit. the writer is so biased that it pails in dread. Of course everyone is against palin. She is so mainstream that almost everyone on the liberal left hate her. She is everything that they wish they were.

A Real-Life Soap Opera About the Suffragettes

Senator Clinton and Governor Palin are proof that women can and do diverge on important issues.

Even on the question of whether women should vote!

Most people are totally in the dark about HOW the suffragettes won votes for women, and what life was REALLY like for women before they did.

Suffragettes were opposed by many women who were what was known as ''anti.''

"The Privilege of Voting" is a new, free e-mail series that follows eight great women from 1912 - 1920 to reveal ALL that happened to set the stage for women to finally win the vote.

It''s a real-life soap opera about the suffragettes! And it''s ALL true!

Powerful suffragettes Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst are featured, along with TWO gorgeous presidential mistresses, First Lady Edith Wilson, Edith Wharton, Isadora Duncan and Alice Roosevelt.

There are tons of heartache on the rocky road to the ballot box, but in the end, women WIN!

Thanks to the success of the suffragettes, women have voices and choices!

Exciting, sequential episodes are great to read on coffeebreaks, or anytime.

dmcfee...pulease, let''s not even start with hypocrisy. First off, short on experience is not so much the issue on my mind as political maturity. Obama has it, Palin does not. Palin has personality and ambition, but that won''t be enough in Washington DC. Being Governor of Alaska (a state I have visited many times) does not even come close to preparing you for what it''s going to be like in DC. Frankly, it would be hard NOT to look good being Governor of Alaska with all its oil revenue. I wonder how Palin''s approval rating would look if she were Governor of a poor southern state these past few years. At least Obama, I believe, has a more realistic attitude about what he is faced with and to me, that shows political maturity.

Doh, make that "elitist", not elistist".

[rafterman1]

Oh, but that''s right, I forgot. Any form of intellectual curiosity or thinking things through first before acting is "elistist". We can''t have that in a president, can we?

[rafterman1]

===If you are truly concerned about Palin''''s "lack of experience"
because she is a LESS THAN ONE-TERM governor from Alaska Does this mean you''''ll be voting for McCain ???
Because McCain has WAY more experience than
a LESS THAN ONE-TERM senator from Illinois
IF NOT,
Please explain your hypocrisy===

I am not concerned about lack of experience. I am concerned about lack of knowledge. George W. Bush had a lack of knowledge and a lack of intellectual curiosity. We saw what that got us. Palin is no different. By her own admission, she knows nothing of the Iraq situation and probably still wouldn''t have given two s h i t s about it until running for VP. McCain is a multiple cancer survivor who is already older than the age his father and grandfather reached. There is a very real possiblility that he might not survive four years. And I''d rather have an inexpereinced community organizer with intellectual curiosity as president than a hockey mom who cares little of the outside world.

The Repug party has shown it has no honor at all.

Now it has shown it has no intelligence.

The Repugs claim Sarah Palin was in Iraq.

Palin was never in Iraq. She was in Kuwait. Quite a woman. Doesn''t even know what few countries she''s been in outside of Mayberry.

And of course McClone also has a sketchy grasp of geography, borders, and other such trivia that no president needs to know.

Because Neocon presidents and vice-presidents don''t have to think--they just have to do exactly what they are told by the international billionaire corporte elite, the same folks who have been pulling the strings of the Bushit - Cheney puppets the last 8 years.
