The G.O.P. set women back 50 years

In their ridiculous attempt to court women voters, the Republican Party picked a former beauty queen who's lack of grasp of our nation's problems is absolutely disturbing. What's more disturbing is that she has the audacity to compare herself to Hillary or Geraldine Ferraro. Sarah Palin is a bad joke.

In addition, to being completely unqualified the G.O.P. has taken upon themselves to attack the media for being sexist. Being sexist is calling out the Gov's position's on issues that she dealt with in Alaska? Being sexist is calling into question her abuse of power by using her office to get her ex-brother-in-law fired? Being sexist is looking into the teachings of her pastor and her past dealings with an unpatriotic organization in Alaska? Being sexist is calling into account her experience??

Funny, it seems like these questions aren't being sexist but are the types of questions any candidate for public office has to face, particularly for President or Vice President whether they are male or female. I get it, I want to play tackle football with the boys but I don't want to get hit. I guess Republicans have decided they are going to play the "sex" card.

To me being sexist is talking about lipstick being the only difference between oneself and a pit bull. It seems to me that being sexist is distributing buttons saying "Hottest V.P." Somehow I don't remember these buttons when Lieberman was Gore's V.P. Maybe I stand corrected, McCain maybe had these buttons really for Lieberman.

What the Republicans have done is reduce this VP candidate to nothing more than their trophy V.P. She is the typical stereotype, she got the job because of her looks not because of her brains. What a disgrace!!

On another note, thanks to The John Restaino Show for plugging this blog today. If you are a lefty, you need to listen to the program. Really enjoy it and I will continue to listen. By the way, how much is Kenny Hamilton getting paid by the RNC?????
