i've had a long conversation about this with
ben and
tyson about mccain's choice in choosing sarah palin as the republican vpotus. on so many levels is she the wrong choice, and i can only hope that this backfires on his decrepit ass.
if we wanted any woman, we would've taken her. if we wanted any woman, we would settle for the random mother/daughter/sister off the street. but we don't want just any woman. we want a woman who's qualified, and will champion the rights of women, and what women care about. i'm not going to assume that all of us back a woman's right to choose, she doesn't even support abortions in extreme cases, ie rape, incest, health/well-being/safety of the mother. i'm hoping that the hilary supporters who are angry with obama can understand this. i'm hoping that they also understand that she's not going to continue the work set forth by the trailblazers of the 60s. i'll take a man over a woman if he'll fight for my best interests. do you hear that PUMAs? hilary wants you to vote for obama. HILARY WANTS YOU TO VOTE FOR OBAMA.
grr. i'm frustrated that mccain thinks we're collectively that stupid. and i'm frustrated that some women actually are.
