Yesterday when the announcement was made, today during all the Sunday morning shows, I have heard it repeated over and over:
The Democrats better be careful if they attack Sarah for her competence or it will backfire....
Everyone knows Biden is a good debater he better not:
= appear to be condescending,
=trying to scare Sarah "a female"
= or be obnoxious
= or appearing to be talking down at Sarah...
Democrats should not be attacking Sarah or women will not like it....Wait a MINUTE here
Hillary was fair game
Sarah is also fair game...
To make matters worst now they are ADDING Laura Bush to the mix. What has Laura done for women for the 8 years she has been next to her husband. Are her comments designed to attract women's sympathy. What a waste?

Laura Bush
THe story has been set out by the Republicans and as expected the Media is buying into it. We are going to paint Sarah as the victim, just like during the primaries when Hillary was being attacked by the big boys, and more women will flock to us...Hum...interesting.
First of all I know a woman who is vice president of her condo association. During meetings, if owners are dissatisfied, many including men don't hesitate to curse at her. For the type of verbal abuse she has taken she cannot run and cry and hide behind her gender. It's business, she takes it, deal with it, and answers their questions.
As a woman I think there is a double standard being played here. Most diaries are focusing so much on Sarah Palin, troopergate, and infantgate, that we here fail to focus on the game those Repubs are playing. If Sarah is one step away from the Presidency she should be able to take whatever comes at her during the debate or in the next few weeks as the Democrats will be vetting her. As far as I know, the press and the Republicans were not empathetic to Hillary's cause. Why should they be to Sarah's?
If Sarah is prepared to be commander in chief on day 1, she should be tested; therefore, Joe Biden and everyone else should be able to question her competence, her knowledge of foreign affairs, and her overall ability to lead. We are living in a dangerous world where Putin, The Chinese and Iranian leaders will not be lowering their voices or making decisions based on their fear of not hurting the feeling of Madam President and that of her female supporters. So just because the Repubs and the MSM are putting out their talking points about Sarah being
= a "role model"
= "has a kid with down syndrome"
= "is a hunter"
="is a hunter and fisherman"...WTF?
So we can't be too hard...Did all the feminist work hard for that...Not to be able to criticize a woman who possibly could be in a posiition to make decisions that will affect the lives of 300 M people...because she may be hurt or run crying to her husband...First you paint her as superwoman, multitasking, tough, the reformer, and now she can't take any criticims or attacks or women will be upset...
Come one people...We can see through the lenses of David Gregory, Cookie Roberts, Joe Scarborouh, Sean Hannity, Bill O"Reilly and the other croonies on the Republican payroll.
What kind of country are we living in? Are there still people who can swallow what Cindy McCain and Lindsey Graham are promoting namely that Sarah Palin, due to Alaska's proximity to Russia and her son being deployed to Iraq, is therefore qualified to make national security decisions on our behalf. WTF?
No...it's a dangerous world out there, if the glass ceiling must be broken, gender should not be considered. Biden should hit back hard, of course respectfully as the gentleman he is and as the politican who would have also respected any human being opponent of his, ...
If Sarah is not strong enough to take Biden or anyone's criticism, what will she do if she is faced to a terrorist threat or an enemy leader attacking her...
Women should not fall into this trap....We are not stupid..In politics women and men should be ready to take whatever comes at them (The kitchen sink)...Period
The Republicans played the POW game with the Obama campaign
If this is a game, then tHe Obama campaign should find some female surrogates (Debbie Shultz Wasserman from Fl, and Hillary Clinton herself) to break down those false tactics which are certainly insulting to women. Just because Sarah is accepting to be used by the Republican machine, we will NOT accept to be manipulated by a McCain who has never been on the side of the woman movement. ...
MCCain will use this woman to get to the Presidency, relegate her to an office away from the Oval Office where he will run the country assisted by the like of "doggy" Linsday Graham and "traitor" Lieberman and ultimately will make important decisions based on the opinions of the like of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity...WHAT A MESS WE WOULD BE IN?????????
Just imagine this....
Gosh: WTF...the terrorists and our enemies must be celebrating now...we are in trouble if the Old Man tricks his way somehow...
DEMOCRATS, INDEPENDENTS, REPUBLICANS...IT IS NOT ABOUT PARTISANSHIP BUT ABOUT OUR FUTURE AND THE LIVES OF MILLIONS...WE CANNOT AFFORD TO ALLOW THE EXTREME IRRATIONALITIES OF A FEW TO IMPACT OUR LIVES ESPECIALLY WITH THE SELECTION OF SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.
PS- Sarah please you are nO HILLARY CLINTON. YOU ARE A FORMER BUCHANAN BRIGARDIER ANTI JEW, ANTI GAY, NEVER EXPOSED TO THE DIVERSITY AND GLOBAL REACH OF OUR TIMES.. so SHUT UP and stop using her name..Hillary worked hard to get where she was...you were appointed...Hillary is one of the most qualified women regardless of her losing the race....YOU ARE NOT
