A woman — but why this woman? [Sarah Palin]
The Baltimore Sun ^ | 1 Sep 2008 | Susan Reimer

Posted on 09/01/2008 8:37:27 AM PDT by maica

So. This is what being pandered to feels like.

John McCain picked Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska and mother of five, to be his running mate to woo women like me.

He seems to think that my girlfriends and I are so disappointed that an utterly qualified woman is not going to be president that we will jump at the chance to vote for an utterly unqualified woman for vice president.

You gotta love a guy who thinks things are that simple.

Women already outvote men in this country, and it isn't because we like voting for all those women on the ballot.

Does McCain think we will be so grateful for a skirt on the ticket that we won't notice that she's anti-abortion, a member of the NRA and thinks creationism should be taught alongside evolution?

Susan must be referring to Walter Mondale back in 1984 here. Let me refresh her memory: with a woman on his ticket, Mondale couldn't win anything but his own state and the District of Columbia, not even the wimmin of Ferraro's NY would vote for that ticket. Ronald Reagan won a near-unanimous electoral vote that year, which only goes to show that while some Dem wimmin will compromise their ideology, principles (according to the polls and comments I've seen all over the networks) and vote for a presidential ticket simply because *a sister* is on it, GOP women will not.

Susan Reimer’s only son graduated from the Naval Academy and is a 2nd Lt in the Marine Corps. I wonder how she is dealing with that!

Gov. Palin has the moonbats foaming at the mouth and they are scared. If this was such a poor pick, as they say, they would be throwing a party.

Obama picks Biden and it becomes the Zero and Xerox ticket.

Conservatives laugh because of the chance to embarass Biden on a more public stage where he is NOT the person in charge like his Senate committee(s).

Conservatives know Obama is toast if only McCain will choose his VP wisely.

TA-DA!

McCain picks Palin and it becomes the Hero and SHero ticket and liberals begin wailing and gnashing their teeth.

this was totally predicted.

women will be offended at being considered replaceable.

unfortunatly for the rabid feminists like this, there is a class of woman voter who votes for the woman regardless of position.

It is a question of spliting. We don’t need all 18 million crackpots, just enough of them.

They keep saying it. “A woman and a mother of five.” How many articles talk about how many children the men have? I don’t even KNOW how many kids McCain, Biden, or Obama have. No one ever says, “Biden, father of ___...”

they say mother of five (to ensure the homosexuals know she is a BREEDER [pejorative used by left for illiterate who has children]) for the same reason the left keeps posting that scaaaary picture of pain aiming an M16.

to scare people.

From looking at her picture posted earlier, she has no concern for ever getting an abortion and she would seem immune to rape also.

I know I am a woman who is happy he picked her. Of all the women he could have picked, I’m glad he picked her.

Me too. There are a lot of R women who are Rhinos or of the Country Club set whom would not have appealed to me at all.

Yep, in the words of Rodney Dangerfield, “She’s so ugly that when two men broke into her apartment and she yelled ‘RAPE!’ they yelled ‘NOOOOOOO!’

Does this woman have a clue?

Barack Obama was the editor of the Harvard Law Review, for heaven's sake. And the best McCain can do is a woman who minored in poly-sci at the University of Idaho?

That's all she can come up with? Obama's empty role as an editor of a college paper?

Nothing about after college? Like, being he first female governor of our largest state? Taking on the oil companies and corrupt policians from her own party?

They are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel in bashing this lady.

If ever I had any respect for the "women's movement" in America, they have lost it from me.

Once again, we are shown that Liberal males ascending to power are much more important that any accomplishments of women, if they happen to be conservative.

Or frame them in one on each side.

Reminds me of a story going around after Nixon was elected. It’s about a socialite in NYC who was reported to have said she could not understand how Nixon got elected because “I don’t know anyone who voted for him”
