GOP liberals play the sexism card for Palin

[struggle4progress]

... I never thought I'd see a Republican playing the sexism card. If your girl can't stand up on her own two feet, boys, then nominate someone who can. And also let me ask this: Who's going to watch her kids while she's running around campaigning? She sure didn't do much of a job of it while she was governor.

Are you going to call me a sexist for asking that question? Very well then, call me a sexist. That's what you liberals do when a conservative argues that family should come first. I don't think the mother of a five-month-old should be running for national office. She can't possibly give her baby the attention he deserves.

She certainly wasn't giving 17-year-old Bristol the attention she deserved when she let her run around in the long Alaskan night with that hockey thug. The prior low for the Republican Party, by the way, occurred last week when the baby daddy showed up at the Republican convention and got a warm greeting from the man the GOP has nominated for the top office in the land.

If you weren't outraged by that, you're not a conservative. It's liberals who are supposed to celebrate out-of-wedlock teen pregnancy. I half-expected Palin to use Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" as her theme song. You know, the one that goes "I've made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby." I never expected in my lifetime to see the Republicans glorifying teen pregnancy ...

1. "If you weren't outraged by that, you're not a conservative."

Oh, dear. I was outraged by that. Although I did laugh some, but yeah, disgusted.

3. "How DISRESPECTFUL"

The latest McCain attack ads cluck that Biden's remark that Palin is very attractive are "disrespectful" and other remarks. This is a political campaign. Do they expect us to give Palin a free pass because she is a woman? This is doublespeak. Isn't this the very same kind of sexism that they are complaining about, not treating her as a serious contender? Considering disrespect, this is one of the dirtiest campaigns i have ever seen. Are we not supposed to question and perhaps sometimes criticize the Palin candidacy just because she is a woman? She can attack but not be criticized in return? How disrespectful to women in general this attitude. If she cannot stand the heat she ought to get out of the kitchen , as Harry Truman once said. Let her go back to being a hockey mom if she cannot stand fair criticism. This is not some soft job, but one that requires toughness, strength and tolerance of criticism. I never once heard anyone complain for Hillary about the bruising way she fought this way.

4. Attitude

I think that the thing most people notice about Palin is her screamingly inappropriate attitude, which is plainly evident from her tone of voice. I simply cannot stand to listen to that woman for more than five minutes without tearing my hair out. I think that tone of voice says a lot of non-verbal things. Palin has the gloating smug tone of voice of a person who never doubts anything she says or does. She has God on her side, no matter what she does, and it doesn't matter if she lies or dissembles to get what she wants. It's like any cult follower. Never questions, never has second thoughts.

Sorry, WE NEED SOMEONE THAT ALWAYS THINKS AT LEAST TWICE, FOR PRESIDENT!!!

5. Hillary's revenge?

Where's Hillary in this campaign? I notice there has not been any statement from her since Palin was annoited. Doesn't Hillary find Palin a pathetic substitute for a capable woman candidate? Where is Bill Clinton? I thought they were going to campaign for Obama. Palin made the comment that Obama sure must be wishing he had now . The campaign is over and where is Gore, where is Kerry, where is Clinton?
