Feminists vs. Palin

Feminism is, at its purest definition, about equal rights for women. There are several various movements, theories, and philosophies...but I'm talking about the root of feminism. I'm sure all women can agree on that. Being a guy, I have no place to dictate anything about the rights of women. I hold the door open for women and only I want my wife to work because she wants to, not because she HAS to.

Extending from this...lets get POLITICAL!!!

"As an Alaskan and a feminist, I am beyond words at this announcement. Palin is not a feminist, and she is not the reformer she claims to be." ~ Karen L., Anchorage, AK

Hey Karen up in Achorage...KISS MY ASS! A woman running for a position dominated by men on the grounds that she is EQUAL is what the Feminist movement is about...right?

"She's vehemently anti-choice and doesn't care about protecting our natural resources, even though she has worked as a fisherman. McCain chose her to pick up the Hillary voters, but Palin is no Hillary." ~ Marina L., Juneau, AK

Uhm Marina, how are things in Juneau? I wanted to take a second and tell you that I agree with you, Palin is no Hillary. AND THANK GOD! That is all I have to say.

"I think she's far too inexperienced to be in this position. I'm all for a woman in the White House, but not one who hasn't done anything to deserve it. There are far many other women who have worked their way up and have much more experience that would have been better choices. This is a patronizing decision on John McCain's part- and insulting to females everywhere that he would assume he'll get our vote by putting "A Woman" in that position." ~ Jennifer M., Anchorage, AK

The Paline choice has put a person with leadership experience and skill in the #2 position. Sarah Palin was the CEO of Wasilla, not to mention the CEO of the state of Alaska. Running Wasilla gives her more experience then your "Community Organizer" and running the state of Alaska puts her over the top.

"She is VERY, VERY conservative, and far from perfect. She's a hunter and fisherwoman, but votes against the environment again and again. She ran on ethics reform, but is currently under investigation for several charges involving hiring and firing of state officials. She has NO experience beyond Alaska." ~ Christine B., Denali Park, AK

As a non-hunter, I'm not big on this side of her...but she doesn't hunt for sport so I'm fine with that. And "VERY, VERY conservative" is not a bad thing. I don't want to have my tax money going to Welfare Babies. I work my arse off for my all my cars, my house, and everything I have. No one GAVE it to me. One move thing, Obama's "International Experience" is based on him living in other countries. WHOOPTY DO!

"Alaskans, collectively, are just as stunned as the rest of the nation. She is doing well running our State, but is totally inexperienced on the national level, and very much unequipped to run the nation, if it came to that. She is as far right as one can get, which has already been communicated on the news. In our office of thirty employees (dems, republicans, and nonpartisans), not one person feels she is ready for the V.P. position." ~ Sherry C., Anchorage, AK

Sherry, how can you go wrong when you are "right"?

I have said my peace. To quote Bill O'Reilly, "What say you?"
