I am never surprised when men act condescending toward women. I was going to say I AM a little flummoxed when women act that way, but then I thought about it, and I changed my mind. I am not at all amazed at the hypocrisy of liberal women.
No one can assert with a straight face that Sarah Palin is less qualified than Barack Obama. And yet, that is your argument against her? What did one blogger say--no more experience governing than her dog? Sarah Palin has at least run a state for two years. Palin has run a state AND reared five kids. She already juggles exponentially more than most men do over a lifetime. Obama hasn't even run a household.
If you don't like her politics, say so. She's adamantly pro-life. Some of us women don't believe that makes her anti-woman. She knows how to shoot a gun and bait a hook. She could probably teach Obama a thing or two. She wants to mine the resources of the United States. Some of us agree--and that doesn't make us anti-environmentalists. She is fiscally conservative and brutal against corruption. Forgive me if I fail to see how that makes her unqualified to be the REPUBLICAN vice presidential candidate. Her politics are conservative. So what? Believe it or not, some of us women with really high IQs, careers, common sense and insight actually vote conservative, and we are happy to see a female conservative on a national ticket.
What is it with female liberals (and it is the same with black liberals) that any woman (or black) who sees things differently than you is automatically one of the following: a tool; an idiot; a traitor; a pawn; incompetent; unqualified...How about saying, "Hooray! One way or another, come November, we are going to make history." Americans in large numbers are either going to vote for a black or a female. That's something to celebrate. I detest Hillary Clinton's politics--just like I think Obama would drive this country to economic ruin. Nonetheless, I am thrilled that a primary contest for president of the United States came down to a woman and a black, whatever their politics.
Don't try to paint Palin as somehow LESS than a man who has no more impressive of a resume than she does.
