Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech was quite telling.

I’m not sure many rightwingers will see through her crap. And the ones who will are already planning on voting for Ron Paul anyhew, so that’s not that important to me.
The truth is very important though so I’ll point one thing out from her speech; since she applauded Hillary Clinton for leaving what she calls “cracks” in the glass ceiling.
I’m sure Sarah Palin is a nice enough human being otherwise, but I gotta ask if she’s smoking crack!
Will Sarah Palin open or lift any ceilings? She sounds pretty anti-women to me. She sounds quite anti-human rights in general. She wants to drill the hell out of ANWR despite common knowlege that destroying that entire region will elicit only a small amount of fuel oil, and that the benefits won’t start until 6, 9, or 13 years from now depending on which experts you read.
Alls I can say besides all that is it’s going to be quite interesting when she starts debating against Biden. Especially when topics of womens’ rights come up.
Sure he’s a middle aged white man, I bet she’ll start with that. Trying to attack by suggesting that he can only empathise and can’t relate. He’ll lob a volley across her bow by pointing out that he penned the “violence against women” act in ’94.
If she doesn’t admit defeat right there and then, he’ll most likely mention that she can’t get very far trying to label herself “prochoice” and made a choice to raise a child with Downs Syndrome, and that’s why she wants to overturn roe v wade, etc., etc., etc.
Overall I’m glad that a woman was nominated as VP. But it’s the wrong woman. She’s smug, she’s elitist, she’s meanspirited toward the poor and she’s got a sleazy corrupt oil-baron as a husband. There are half a dozen scandals back in Alaska tied to her before she even starts and I’m sure there’s more just waiting to be vetted after the fact.
Big mistake on John McCain’s part. But on the very shallowest I’ll give him kudos for picking a woman. Any woman. Nice try though.
I want a woman president someday. I didn’t think Hillary was right for 5 or 6 reasons I won’t go into. I think Sarah’s wrong for at least 10 reasons before I do any additional Google searches!
I’ll put it this way.
Hillary Clinton was the wrong multimillionaire middle-aged white man for the job.
Sarah Palin is DEFINITELY the wrong miltimillionaire slightly younger middle-aged white man for the job!
