Sarah Palin came out swinging last night against Obama and boy she didn’t hold anything back! I have to admit I was kind of taken aback by it. I did enjoy the Styrofoam Greek column line for its’ comical value but the other attacks not so much. I guess I’m still a Democrat at heart and I even after everything, I still think Obama is basically a nice guy and deserves better treatment than that. If you’ve ever read this blog before, I’m sure you know I’m one of those unruly female Clinton supporters – you know us angry feminist types, who are basically one bad hair day away from storming the DNC with our double-barreled brassiere sling shots. But as much as I’m all for seeing a woman in the White House, and not just on the arm of some old white guy, I want the RIGHT woman there. I admire Palin for her toughness – believe me I do – but she’s not exactly what I’m looking for. As much as I’d love to stick it to the DNC, I just can’t let myself be played a fool by the Republican Party.
I just wish the Democratic Party defended Hillary when the biased media and sexist garbage came her way; it makes me wonder if the Democratic Party really cares about women or not. If I were to consider only the evidence from this year, I’d have to say a big fat no. It’s so ironic that Republicans will defend women more than Democrats. It’s sad really but I’m glad someone is stepping up – even if they are just Republicans. Ugh.
