Another rainy Sunday here in Belfast. Slept badly so went back to sleep once Simon got up. Now working up the motivation to do some tidying.
So…Sarah Palin…she’s a woman. Yup. She sure is. But man is she one scary woman to possibly be VP. Anti-abortion, anti-gay rights, pro-guns. No national polictical experience. Personally, I am not impressed.
Would I like a woman in White House? Hell yeah. Do I want that woman in the White House? Hell no.
And I am appalled by the number of Clinton supporters who hate Obama so much (and I am not sure why, he won, its over, move on) that they would vote for McCain just because he chose a femail VP. That’s just stupid. Short sighted.
But based on the chatter around the web, that’s what they are going to do. They’d rather put up with another 4 years of hell (and that is defiinitely what the US has been through lately) then vote for Obama. Never mind where he stands on the issues. Or who his VP is (and I think Biden compliments Obama very well). Just don’t vote for him cuz you’re pissed she lost. That’s not the way to pick a new leader of our country. Its just being stupid and spiteful. And not what Clinton wants.
She asked all Dems to get behind Obama. So not only are they being petty, they are ignoring what their leader wants. Makes me wonder what they would have done if she had been selected as Obama’s running mate. Still vote for McCain because she wouldn’t be President?
Wake up people. Its a scary world out there. And the combination of McCain and Palin will only make it much much scarier.
We agree 1,000% re: Palin as a VP nominee. What are you reading that says women will vote for McCain just because he chose a woman no matter who the woman is? That attititude scares me most of all and one Burt and I have wondered about. If it really happens then women will “sow what they reap” and the rest of us will REALLY suffer!!
