Yes, I’m a woman, and I see right through McCain’s strategy. McCain saw an opportunity, and he capitalized on it. Over 18 million people voted for Hillary Clinton, but Hillary Clinton lost the Democratic Nomination, so McCain decided to go after those Hillary Clinton disgruntled voters. The problem is that Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton. I’ve seen women speak in favor of Palin, and as soon as a man says something in disagreement, they are ready to cry sexism. is this the Republican’s strategy? Are they going to nitpick everyone’s words and cry sexism even if it does not exists? Could it be a deliberate strategy? Sarah Palin took the gloves off and came out swinging, so why should people be dainty? No one is calling her names. People want to talk about the issues, and if talking about the issues makes one a sexist, then I guess the Republicans don’t know what sexism is; or are they using sexism as a scared tactic?
Sarah Palin is talking about experience? The woman is bragging about negotiating the sale of her states plane on ebay. Palin was a mayor of a town of 9,000 people, and she left the town in debt. Wow! Obama should be scared. Anyone can sell stuff on ebay. Give me a freaking break! How will that help John McCain find a solution to the current economic crisis? How will that help the millions of people in America without health care? Is that all Sarah Palin has to offer, negotiating the sale of a plane on ebay?
Sarah Palin had the nerve to criticize Obama’s community organizing. At least Obama cared enough about ordinary folks and wanted to make a better life for them. Did Palin empower people’s lives when she was running a small town? Hell no! She left them in debt. And get this: Sarah Palin did not even mention the economy in her speech. This is the woman McCain is trying to use as a substitute to reel in Hillary Clinton voters. Does McCain think that people are that stupid? Wake up, John McCain! The political tactics of yesteryear is so old and tired. Most people just aren’t that dumb anymore. More and more people are using the internet these days, so those people can see first hand the kind of games the Republican party is playing. First of all, Sarah Palin doesn’t even come close to Hillary Clinton’s experience and bragging rights. When Bill Clinton was in office, the economy was healthy, and he left office with a surplus. On the other hand, Sarah Palin left a town of 9,000 in debt. Can you imagine what she would do to the country if she is running it? The deficit would quadruple.
Now, let’s talk about sexism. The Republicans want to use it when it’s convenient to them. From what I gathered, there were buttons in the convention center stating that Sarah Palin is the hottest VP from the coolest state. Hypocritical, isn’t it?
Was it a good idea to attack the media? That’s the very forum on which they rely for their negative campaigning. The Republican party has hutzpah. That’s all I can say.
