How sad that sooooooo many people are against women. Certainly one would have thought that the democratic party would be the one to nominate a qualified woman first given that the party was founded on equal rights for all.......but instead the democratic party proved during the primary that words are just words and they are opposed to women in general. The democrats had easily most qualified woman, Hillary, ready, willing and able as well as 18 million voters behind her but chose to nominate any one else instead and now have nominated a completely unqualified male instead. I urge all women to think for themselves. Actions are much louder than pretend words from the democrats. They have proven that they will nominate absolutely anything rather than the most qualified candidate if and when the most qualified candidate is female. The Republicans have proven that they are willing to nominate a qualified woman even when she is a maverick....and even when they could have chosen an equally qualified man. I am a lifetime democrat and became a democrat because they pretended to be in favor of equal rights for all including women.......they lied.....their actions are perfectly clear. Now we see the democrats slandering Sarah Palin with typical demeaning language used only to slight women like "she's difficult to work with", "what kind of Mother would run for VP with 5 kids to care for?" .....of course the husband/Father is also slandered here since the argument implies that he is unqualified to care for his kids which ofcourse is not true.......or "she's a beauty queen" as if beauty means stupid. Sarah is no Hillary and will be beaten by Hillary in 2012 but for right now Sarah Palin's election with John McCain saves women's rights........actions speak louder than words. Self respecting women will vote McCain/Palin 2008
