I've been waiting for someone to point this out, and John McCain finally has.
Considering Hillary Clinton's historic run for president, and the fact that John McCain picked what would be the first female Vice President in US history, women's issue have been largely ignored in this campaign. Amazingly, not one question at the VP debate dealt with women's issues, and female voters are still grossly unaware of the McCain/Palin ticket's record on women's rights issues. (Hint: it sucks)
Now that McCain has dragged the truth out into the sunlight, will the media begin to pay attention to the most hostile ticket towards women of my lifetime? Stay tuned...

Palin is the most dispicable, lying, underhanded, creepy, unintelligent, enemy of women I have ever come across. She represents what I dispise most in women. God help us all if these creeps get in to office.

Palin is not a good representative for women. It is time for our candidates to display poise and intelligence. She is joke. After all, is this what "Republicans" expect from their women. Frankly as a woman, I am embarassed....Will this "airhead" travel overseas and represent our country? I hope not.

FYI, I am for equal rights for women. You my dear would not be posting on this message board if it not for a feminist who fought for your rights. Your assumption that any woman who does not like Palin is a lesbian or had an abortion is HIGHLY offensive. I am a 30 something married mother of 4. Definantly NOT a lesbian, have never had an abortion. I am against abortion actually except for in cases of the mothers life being in jeopardy. I am very much so a girly girl. Any woman that could vote for that misogynist and his airhead parter is not for women.

Dcave, if your frequented other message boards besides AOL, you would discover that A LOT of people have been giving Obama money. Also, he has numerous celebrity supporter...uncluding Oprah. Quit spreading lies and trying to make him out to be some evil, mysterious person. It only shows your ignorance.

If Palin is not a feminist, she is not supporting ANY one's rights as human beings in general. Being a feminist doesn't mean that you are a bra burning lesbian.. It stands for equal rights for ALL citizens not depending on race, sex, religios beliefs or anything of that nature. This is proposterous, Palin not being a feminist??! Stop. Not to mention, if she were drugged or date raped and forced to have the child unwillingly. She would think differently if she were in one of the millions of victims' shoes..

As a feminist, I thought Sarah Palin might become a role model for other women to get involved with politics. However, after watching numerous Sarah Palin videos, I'm enranged with her policies. Palin is against women's rights, and she does not have anything to offer for the United States. Please check out this site:
This site has videos of her talking about foreign policy and also lots of other topics including the economy, energy, the environment, and the media. It's got every interview andd nationally televised speech since she was picked, as well as every SNL skit and Daily Show report about her.

FOLLOW THE MONEY
John McCain and Sarah Palin are advocates of State's Rights. Barack Obama is a Socialist. Some people truly believe in “benevolent” Socialism. It does not exist, and it never has.
In the old Soviet Union, and in pre-Capitalist China, the only people who lived in opulence and drove large automobiles were high-placed government officials.
Obama raised an astounding $150 in September alone. As "Deep Throat" said during Watergate "follow the money.” When Barry (the name he used all his life) was at Occidental College, he had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan. His former roommates are now in charge of all his Internet campaign contributions. In these tough economic times, do you really think the $150 million came from poor and middle class people in this country? Seriously? Can you say Middle East?
I’m an old (white) guy. I have many more years behind me than ahead of me. But, think, really think about the future. Try to put politics aside for a moment, and connect the dots. Bill Ayres, the old terrorist, is now a “respected” professor at the University of Illinois, College of Education, in Chicago. He recently participated in conference in Venezuela, hosted by the communist, Hugo Chavez. The purpose, EDUCATION REFORM. Is that what you want for America’s children?
The radical socialist organization, Students For A Democratic Society (SDS) supports Obama. What does that tell you? Before you dismiss the SDS, do yourself a favor. Do some homework. Look up some of these people. Alan Haber, Tom Hayden (former husband of Jane Fonda), Ken Paff, Michael Harrington and Irving Howe would be a good start.
Obama is a smiling, articulate dupe for old lefties. And, regardless of his repeated assurances to the contrary, he agrees with their agenda. Except, this time the movement is very well funded. George Soros and other far-left advocates have a plan to CHANGE America.

Apparently you weren't listening Tommy. He said Liberal Feminism. Palin is a prime example of what happens when women realize that actually do have rights and by God she has used them to get where she is. I can see why all of you whiners ae afraid of her. She is reshaping what the definition of feminism is. Feminism is not about the right to have a back up plan when your lack of sexual self control is lacking it is when an American women decides to take resposibilty for her action be they good or poor judgement or neither. She is the kind of person that won't dish off responsibilty on someone else.
