Palin 'Extremely Negative' on 'Women's Issues,' Feminist Leader Says Wednesday, September 17, 2008 By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer
Washington (CNSNews.com) Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin does not stand for women and womens rights, said Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation, at a press conference Tuesday.
Thats largely why the foundation opposes the McCain-Palin ticket, said Smeal, and supports the Democratic ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
One thing Ill say about role models is that women have true equality when conservative women, liberal women, progressive women, and women from all stripes have a chance at the top, Smeal said.

These women are the types that required a pork chop to be hung around her neck so the dog would play with her. Plus they have to sneak up on the toilet to get a drink.

no feeling you are correct.
Feminist Majority is really Female Comunists period.
I hope Palin makes “Ms.” a negative to use for those feminists.

That’s really the only “women’s issue” that exists for feminists.
And it’s not about “keeping it legal”,
it’s about “keeping it not wrong” so that their consciences don’t bother them.

There is a word in the English language which means a revival or resurrection and that word is “palingenesis”. Go figure!

In FAR FAR second place is the need to have the government take care of them so that they can claim how “independent” from men they are.

Who appointed her to decide what all women should believe? The same advisor who told Barry that a fraction of a US Senate term was sufficient to announce your candidacy for President.

Do you mean the insane stance by feminists on the abortion issue... or the fact that liberals in general are sooooo utterly, foolishly inept when it comes to making a dent in Palin’s armor?

(Liberal? YOU ARE A SOCIALIST WITH NO RATIONAL ARGUMENT.)
To: bboop
Liberal women have divided up all women into two groups. First, there's the ones who decide to have two (replacement rate), one, or preferably zero children, who are the ones that are supposed to lead this country, both in business and government. Then, the rest are labeled 'breeders', and are expected to live their dull lives at home, since they insisted on being stupid enough to contribute to overpopulation.
Sarah Palin's family of five and her grab for the brass ring of the Vice-Presidency absolutely infuriates the proponents of the above 'reasoning'. That's why we've seen Hollyweird types going to the extremes in vilifying her. The big-city liberals don't really know any successful women with three or more kids, and they have no clue how they're ticking off the millions of women out there who identify with Gov. Palin.

If she only had had an abortion, along with Bristol, they wouldn’t be near as hard on her. Their pro-choice mantra is not for choice - it is for death. Palin’s and Bristol’s choice is not acceptable to these hags. As a woman, these feminists are pure evil and have never spoken for me.
