It just amazes me that people are crying about the Media's treatment of VP nominee Sarah Palin. They are saying some really stupid stuff like give her a break because she is a woman. McCain Camp Levels Charges Of Sexism Well, I've been accused repeatedly of being a Clinton Hater even though I have nothing but respect for both Clintons. But I would like to make a valid point here about Hillary. Hillary Clinton, the woman who came closest to being POTUS, has been taken through the ringer by the lie, cheat and steal Republican party over and over and over again. They have called her every name in the book. They have questioned her sexuality. They have questioned her marriage. They have dug into every part of this woman's life for 2 decades. They have made joke after joke about her life and her family. Hillary has like a true candidate of stature and character has stood up to it like a warrior. That's one thing I like about the Clinton's...they stand up to the Republican hate filled garbage. Sarah Palin as VP is just a breath away from being our POTUS if McCain seizes control of our country. And despite what McCain says I don't see him releasing his medical records(maybe I missed it) guaranteeing that this 72 year old man won't die in the next 4 years. Perhaps he has made a deal with the devil and that's why he is so sure of himself. But never the less, there is no guarantee that he won't drop dead on the job and we would be stuck with this woman is more conservative than perhaps God himself picking Supreme Court Justices. Please, give me a break. That is the most frightening aspect of it all. One thing is for certain though. If you are going to play with the big boys in their political arena you cannot use the feminism role to divert legitimate questions away from your family, your choices in life, and every single aspect of your background. So if we have to put on kid gloves to deal with Ms Palin's nomination as our next VP, well then perhaps she isn't up to the job. Because as the old saying goes, "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!" My only question right now is, "Where is Hillary's response to Sarah Palin?" I would think that Hillary would be outraged by the GOP using her name over and over again. And I am dying to hear what Hillary has to say about Sarah Palin. One thing is for certain, SNL ought to be a hoot over the next couple of months.

Pollchecker, I agree
Submitted by christinel69 on September 3, 2008 - 9:51am.Pollchecker,
I agree wholeheartedly with your statements. I have heard from some of my far right friends that the idea is to make Biden look like a bully during the debate. They fully expect Palin to be beaten like a rented mule but hope that it makes Biden look disrespectful to women.
These are the same people who made fun of Hillary and HER DAUGHTER. Either way, I cannot believe the American people will fall for it. If Palin cant take the heat from Joe Biden, then she cannot possibly be ready to lead our country.
If she can't stand up to Joe
Submitted by pollchecker on September 3, 2008 - 10:25am.If she can't stand up to Joe Biden, how is she going to stand up to terrorists during a National crisis? China about trade? Russia about Georgia? Iran about Nuclear Proliferation? North Korea on Nuclear Proliferation? Hell, even our neighbor, Mexico on immigrastion issues?
If she can't stand up to Joe Biden, she's not fit to use Hillary Clinton's name in the same breath as her own. Hell, if she can't stand up to Joe Biden how is she going to be President of the Senate? People seem to forget that the VP's primary function is to preside over the Senate and in the event of a tie, casts the deciding vote. Can you imagine Ms Palin presiding over Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Ted Kennedy, etc.? It's litterally surreal? Can you imagine how she would vote in case of a tie? With the Senate as close as it has been in recent years, this is an important issue to be considered.
Perhaps she will energize the base, but she has to make a lot of independents, especially caucasian men, question voting for McCain as she is obviously not fit to be POTUS! Hell, you have to seriously question McCain's judgement for picking her. Even Karl Rove said last night it was for campaign purposes and not real political purposes.
Did you hear the talking point that said "running the PTA" is equal to "running our country"? That by itself is a totally absurd notion.
Look I'm all for a woman as VP but Kay Baily Hutchinson would have been a serious VP pick. Palin is nothing but a joke and an insult on the American people's mentality.
Women not as "EASY" as they
