Obama and McCain Vie for Women

I think Obama better get rid of Biden before he loses what's left of the female swing-voters.

People are AFRAID of the unknown. Palin's just been introduced, and this many people know so much about her already - get real. Don't be AFRAID to learn for yourself before you diss someone by just repeating all the usual divisive rhetoric. We are Americans, a FREE people - value the freedom you have to expand your knowledge, and think for yourselves. Don't let someone else tell you what to think or what to say. To engage your mind in learning requires time and effort - to open your mouth and engage in mindless prattle requires little. We do not live in a totalitarian state where all opposing views are shut down before we even know what they are. The enemies of our country will succeed in dividing us if we allow ourselves to attack one another instead of being a judicious people, and we all know those famous words "united we stand, divided we fall." Disagreement and hatred are two very different things. You can disagree, and still be united, but vicious hatred will destroy ALL of us, not just those we oppose. Our nation is at great risk at this time in history, and we must stop allowing the media, the political system, anyone or anything to divide the American people, and pit us against one another. Only we, the American people, can end the divisions that have been thrust upon us by pursuing knowledge of the candidates positions, their character (and yes, it DOES MATTER), and making an intelligent decision based on the facts, and not on "he said, she said" inuendos. TRUTH really can set us free.

Let's see which one of them has the best pickup line.

Biden, on Palin being elected VP:
"that's obviously a backward step for women."

This ticket is imploding! You can't make this stuff up!

McCain does not respect women. Never has never will. He has shown this time and time again. Are people that blind?

Yes, and McCain not only admitted he was wrong regarding the end of his first marriage, he also took ALL of the blame on himself. An even more rare quality in a man.

I think people also like to overlook the fact that McCain has been married to his second wife for nearly 30 years, which clearly shows that he is capable of having a successful marriage and family life.

Had it been a character flaw on his part (and not just the circumstances of trying to find his way back to his slot in the real world after having spent six years in hell), he would probably be on wife #4 or #5 by now, just like the state trooper Palin's sister was married to who tasered her child.

Samanthta: I voted for Hillary, but I will not vote for a right wing wacko ticket just because one of the wackos is a woman. Palin is unqualified to be VP. She's only on the ticket because she is young and pretty and McSameBush feels young standing next to her.

That's not sexist. That's the truth! And I don't care if it offends you!

Most Clinton voters including myself don't use terms like "right wing wacko". and it is not believalbe you would not be offended by Obama snubbing Clinton for VP, yet are out of sorts by Plain.

how McCain committed adultery and married the woman who was the the center of the affair, women will return to the Obama camp. After all..its McCain who is at the top of the ticket..not Palin..

McCain admitted his mistakes, and you know what? I've found that women like a man who admits when he was wrong.

Samantha,

"No way, not ever, no McCain"

Sen. Hillary Clinton

Palin is unethical. First there was Trooper-Gate, now we learn that she billed the state over %16,000 for expenses supposedly incurred while she was at home in her own houes, expenses that are supposed to be for when she is away on state business. She is a CROOK!

OBAMA is NOT GREAT FOR WOMEN

Brack Obama has a history of being involved in bitter campaigns in which his female opponents are threatened with law suits and race baiting, sexist attacks on their characters.

1. In Chicago Obama ruined opponent Alice Palmer's campaign for Illinois State Senator when he employed crony lawyers to claim signatures on her petition were falsified. Before this Alice Palmer was once Obama's mentor and had actually aided him in his career. She did not support him during the DNC presidential primary. She supported Hillary Clinton and was later silenced by blacks in Chicago as being a traitor to the black community. I know I am a Chicagoan.

2. During the DNC primary Obama and his minions of Obamabots waged a nasty race baiting campaign against Hillary Clinton. They accused Hillary of "pimping out" her daughter Chelsea and called her a racist. Hillary lost the election. Obama did nothing to stop his followers from spreading rumors of Racism against HRC.

3. Now that Obama has passed over Hillary for the VP spot, He has the audacity to come after Sarah Palin's experience and attacks her in his stump speeches even though she is not the Pres. Nominee but McCain is. His minions are calling Palin an unfit mother who was chosen by McCain for her attractive looks and youth.

Obama is NOT FOR WOMEN. HIS POLICIES MAY TELL YOU THAT BUT HIS ACTIONS SAY OTHERWISE.

Margot 1:44:11,
Welcome aboard! Glad to have you!! McCain and Palin understand your values and concerns! You have made a wise decision! However, I must disagree with you on one fact...it will be President Sarah Palin in 2012...no doubt about it she will make us proud as first woman President of the United States of America!!!

Palin for Prez 2012!!!

Obama is GREAT for women

* Supports equal pay for equal work
* Supports a woman's right to choose
* Cosponsored reinstatement of Violence against Women bill
* Created assistance for women in need of day care
* Passed laws that increased cancer research

Vote Obama. Vote for change.

I'm a former Hillary supporter who now intends to vote for McCain/Palin.

I like the idea of a split government (one controls White House, the other Congress) because I'm fed up with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid's leadership.

The democrat leadership in Washington has done a terrible job. The solution is not to give them more power, control, or oversight- when they can't manage what they have already.

Pumas for Palin! Happy to help a woman break through the glass ceiling and I'm happy to have stick it to the dem leadership in the process.

Hillary 2012!

Samantha,
I was just using terms Republicans use....As far as MALE being chosen McCain doing the same thing....No, he wouldn't because there is no MALE that would energize his base like Palin. McCain's base is white men....pure and simple.....he hopes to attract white women with McCain, but that is not his base...As just for record....I am not an "Obambot" as you say.....I am anti-Republican....I just see more b.s. in that party than the Democrats.

You know whats funny mccain claiming obama was a celebertity a couple of months ago and know you have sara palin drawing big crowds GIVING AUTOGRAPHS LIKE SHES A CELEBIRTY NO DIFFRENCE MCCAIN IS QUITE THE HIPOCRITE!

Indy Voter said:

USVet,
So parading Palin around in the dog and pony show that McCain is doing is not sexism? McCain can't wait to get off the stage to show his little woman off. If you think the Republicans give a damn about women's rights you are mistaken. If you're pissed off at Democrats for whatever perceived slight of Hillary fine. But Hillary has gotten past it. I suggest you act like a grown-up and get over it too.
________________________________________

Let's pretend that McCain had chosen a MALE candidate that also energized the GOP base like Palin did. McCain goes up in the polls but the VP is a man. Would you still make these accusations against Mc Cain??? You are using sexist phrases like "little woman". Who is the sexist here?

Obamabots you guys are walking a very thin line here okay? First it was the race baiting during the primaries and now this.

Palin will get along just fine
with Putin. Putin likes Alaska
secessionists.

Mary,
No one is looking for handouts. What they are looking for is fairness in the way big business is treating vs. working people. If think Republicans give a damn about working people you're mistaken. They will continue to support policies that allows businesses to ship jobs overseas, hire illegal aliens at home, while skirting their tax responsibilities.

Alaska Independence Party considers
Palin one of its own. Her husband
is a member. If he is not now,
that doesn't make much difference.
The man is a secessionist. So is
Sarah Palin.

How can she receive National
Security Agency clearance?

McCain the self-styled guardian
of national security is running
with a candidate who wants Alaska
to become an independent foreign
state. McCain himslef should be
tried for treason along with her.
