Yesterday I watched more than Sarah on CPAC and there was an interesting woman’s panel discussing the GOP’s problems with women. One panelist, whose name I forget but she’s on FOX frequently - long dark hair and looks like Kristin Davis from Sex in the City - said that the GOP lets too much go unanswered.
As an example she pointed to the recent Virginia governor’s race in which McAwful did his “war on women” meme and Cuchinelli never responded to that attack. The panelist blamed the consultants. And for good measure, she and the other 3 panelists went into a dialogue about all the issues that conservatives have that support women.
This brings me to Pat Caddell’s really good rant about the political consultants who don’t care about losing - they only care about their own jobs and he blamed much of what is wrong with GOP candidates on these consultants. He also went into Obama and the horror that has become the rat party.
Sarah also mentioned the consultants - as you probably know. Those jerks, Nicole Wallace etc, trashed Sarah every which way and call themselves Republicans. Yeah, right. They have no principles except their own bank accounts.
The candidates need to stand up and ANSWER the ridiculous attacks from the rats. War On Woman - I’m shocked anyone ever believed it but I guess they did. And you know what? I bet the rats are also shocked they got away with it.
You may be right at that!
I think that in a pop culture where women can get away with murder, literally, figures like Palin are a God-sent blessing. Example: HW Bush silenced by pinhead Katie Couric, who scolded him condescendingly on her show once for his involvement or support, I don't remember which, of tobacco farming. A World War II veteran! And her, a brat young enough to be his daughter! I like to think I'd have yanked her off that set poste haste if I'd been on the scene, and slapped her silly.
Bush was a gentleman, he could not swat down the miserable gnat Couric because she was female. Had she tried such a trick with Thatcher, or Palin in a live forum, she'd have been sliced to ribbons. Girls fight dirty. Hillary would do the same thing, take advantage of a gentleman's honor. My dream 2016 ticket would be Palin vs Hillary. It would be hilarious.
My version of "women's issues" is this: I once interviewed for a write-up a woman architect who had made it to the top of the hierarchy in her field, long before woman architects were much seen in the industry. I had been instructed to ask her by my editor (the question wouldn't have occurred to me) about her involvement in women's business and women's architect groups, which ones, etc. Her answer: she didn't belong to any women's professional organizations. She belonged to architectural organizations. The only important thing was: are you a professional?
I could have hugged her.
