so, i hate sarah palin. OKAY i might be slightly biased but you know what? i don't care. i don't see how being smarmy is being personable. how can people find that appealing in a vp candidate? i don't want the people in the white house to seem like they are on the same intellectual level as me or like they are folksy or quirky. i want the people LEADING MY COUNTRY to be SMARTER than i am, more educated than i am, more polished than i am. basically, i want the people leading my country to be THE CREAM OF THE CROP.
also, what sort of double standard is it that she is allowed to pull out the 'mom' card if no one else is allowed to discuss her being a mom. like, wtf? i did like that biden was able to point out that, HELLO he was a single father after his first wife and daughter died.
also, BTW, palin? YOU CANNOT ANSWER EVERYTHNG BY TALKING ABOUT ENERGY. THERE ARE OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES. ALSO, WHEN ASKED TO OUTLINE A PLAN, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY DISCUSS AN ACTUAL PLAN. JUST STRINGING TALKING POINTS TOGETHER WITH NO SEQUITERS BETWEEN THEM IS NOT A GOOD STYLE.
i don't see why there seems to be this assumption that all women must hope that good things happen for palin in this election. somehow, to me, the fact that HEY, I HAVE A UTERUS AND SO DO YOU is a hell of a lot less important that the fact that i disagree with pretty much all her viewpoints. way to say that being gay is a choice, btw, not that we didnt all know about your opinions there before. WANTING A WOMAN IN THE WHITEHOUSE JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN IS NO LESS SEXIST THAN NOT WANTING A WOMAN IN THE WHITEHOUSE JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN. THE IMPORTANT PART IS THE 'BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN' OKAY?!
