It just seems to me the attacks on Palin have been more vicious than the ones on Obama, & have been centered around her being PMS-y, a bad mom, a vindictive bitch, etc. But then, I may be placing too much importance on supermarket rag influence

Why would it have to be misogynistic to NOT vote for Palin. Isn't it possible that one would NOT vote for her because she is not qualified and her running is a joke?

arguably, because she's a Repulblican. Were she a Democrat, she'd be the most glorious creature ever to grace our fair planet.

It boils down to this -

You claim she's lied, but there's no evidence of her doing so.

You claim she's unqualified, yet she's more qualified than your No 1 guy, while she's only running as the VP candidate.

Gov Palin is a smart, independent and successful woman, who's taken on and beaten ' the good ol boy's clubs ' of both HER party and that of the Dems in her state. She's a bonafide reformer, who isn't the daughter of a well entrenched Senator, Govornor or Ketchup heiress, and OMG!! She's not even a lawyer!! God save us all !!

Roughly 80% of people tested have shown unconscious bias against blacks, and that includes about half the blacks - one of the odd statistics I found in 'Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking' (Malcolm Gladwell) (overall an uninteresting book filled with interesting facts). Unfortunately there were no similar figures given for women.

Historically, all women were given the vote far later than black men, so that argues for more bias against women.

OTOH, I do have to agree with SignyM - Palin has given us little else to go on except that she's a soccer mom. I haven't heard any information, analysis, opinion, position, or policy from her - just talking points, and, oh yeah, did you know she's a soccer mom ?






Randal Graves: Since when did porch monkey suddenly become a racial slur?
Dante Hicks: When ignorant racists started saying it a hundred years ago!
Randal Graves: Oh, bullshit! My grandmother used to call me a porch monkey all the time when I was a kid because I'd sit on the porch and stare at my neighbors!
Dante Hicks: Despite the fact that your grandmother might've used it as a term of endearment for you, it's still a racial slur! It'd be like your grandmother calling you a little kike!
Randal Graves: Oh, it is not. Plus, my grandmother had nothing but the utmost respect for the Jewish community. When I was a kid she told me to always treat the Jewish kids well, or they'd put the sheeny curse on me.
Dante Hicks: What the fuck, man?
Randal Graves: What?
Dante Hicks: Sheeny's a racial slur, too!
Randal Graves: Oh, it is not.
Dante Hicks: Yes, it is!
Randal Graves: She never called any Jews 'sheeny', she just used to say sheeny curse a lot. It was cute!
Dante Hicks: It wasn't cute! It was racist!
Randal Graves: I disagree, man, she was just an old timer, that's the way people talked back then! Didn't mean they were racist... But my grandmother did refer to a broken beer bottle once as a nigger knife... You know, come to think of it, my grandmother was kind of a racist.
Dante Hicks: You think?
Randal Graves: Well, I-I still don't think porch monkey should be considered a racial term. I mean, I've always used it to describe lazy people, not lazy black people! I think if we really tried, we could re-claim porch monkey, and save it.
Dante Hicks: It can't be saved, Randal! The sole purpose for its creation, the only reason it exists in the first place, is to disparage an entire race! And even if it could be saved, you can't save it because you're not black!
Randal Graves: Well listen to you! Telling me I can't do something because of the color of my skin! You're the racist! I'm taking it back, you watch!
[customers enter]
Randal Graves: Hey, what can I get for you, you little porch monkey?
[beat]
Randal Graves: Its cool, I'm taking it back.


Its cool. Im taking it back. Amen. lol

Ron Paul Endorses Unknown Man from Unknown Party

Baldwin is that one-two punch combination of Pundit and Pastor -- his evangelical church is in Pensacola Florida. His party believes in abolishing the UN, ending the Iraq War, a repeal of income, sales, and inheritance taxes, a "constitutionally limited form of government", as well as of course, immigration reform.

I'm thumbing through my copy of the Constitution right now to find the section that describes that the government must build a giant fucking wall around its borders to keep the brown people out.

"I told the government 'Thanks, but no thanks, on that Bridge to Nowhere'..."

That's a flat-out lie. She didn't tell the government shit. She lobbied FOR the bridge, even campaigned in favor of it as part of her platform, and only when the ridicule of it truly started did she have any part of it not going forward. But she, of course, still took the money for the bridge.
