As a woman, I agree with this article 100%. I can tell you that some will call out "Sexist", except that I applaud you for speaking Truth. As a woman, I am embarrassed and ashamed that she is demeaning us all and that McCain has demeaned us by using this woman to win his election that he feels he is entitled to.
There seems to be a large segment of society that is falling for Sarah Same Story. She has repeated the same stuff over and over and over again, as has her running mate whose name we will all soon forget, since he has been pretty much castrated and neutered. And he seems to enjoy it. He stands by, smiling like a child who has been praised, as she extols his virtues. It is unclear here just who is using who!
With his incompetence and her everything, this is a tragic and dangerous prospect. In the face of lies, sex, distortion and empty campaigning, not even bothering to address the issues, one would think that all it would take is to "focus on the pressing issues of today" and the dire need for a Community Organizer Extraordinaire for the national and world community. But if your sole agenda is to prepare for Rapture and salvation in Alaska, then this is the ticket! and the biggest lie in our long national history.
Videotapes of her debate with her two contenders for Governorship of Alaska demonstrate she is quite adroit and capable of controlling her mouth and deftly addressing the little issues of Alaska, while tearing to shreds and insulting her opponents with more class than demonstrated in her debut address and on the campaign trail.
It really is in the hands of the people of this country. All Democrats and all Independents of critical thought and any Republican who is appalled at the state of affairs and at the way this Republican Party has descended into a total lack of principle, integrity, and competence, need to mobilize and send them to a Time Out to reform and rehabilitate on their own time and own their own dime, while we desperately try to repair the country and the world which has been made so vulnerable.
The picture of Alaska that is being presented and their ideology and their agenda is frightening. It seems to be the last holdout of some of the worst of the ideal America for which we all strive.
