Sarah Palin is trying hard to make a mockery of the achievements of so many brave American women

who worked so hard before her to make this country a better place for EVERYONE.

Elizabeth Blackwell, Susan B Anthony, Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, Clara Barton, Harriet Tubman....I could go on and on....they all must be rolling over in their graves at at the very notion that someone who is a complete fake and ZERO like Palin could give such a black eye to the long historical cause for women in this country.

Modern-day heroines like Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright, Patricia Schroeder, Janet Reno, Sally Ride, Teresa Heinz Kerry, Susan Rice, and Elizabeth Edwards must all be wincing in pain every time Palin opens her mouth.

Sarah Palin represents NONE of the fine women listed above, nor does she represent the thousands of accomplished women I didn't list....or any other intelligent, thoughtful, respectful, and nurturing woman in this country.

You see, the kind of women who Palin represents are the kind of women who want it all, who want it all now, and who want it handed to them on a silver platter.

It's up to each and every one of us to do our absolute best to make sure that Barack Obama and Joe Biden get elected to the White House to insure that a disaster such as VP Palin doesn't get the chance to diminish the efforts of so many courageous women before her.

It's like a whole bunch of guys struggling their asses off in the Pacific ocean fighting the Japanese for years, dying and killing and suffering and living through hell, and then, at the end of the war, the guy that gets the medal is some street cleaner in Hoboken who just happened to bring in a wheelbarrow of scrap metal for recycling on VJ day.

How do you figure that she want it handed to her on a silver platter? She wasn't born to wealth and privilege. She didn't marry into it. *coughteresaHEINZkerrycough* No one is claiming that she stole her election to the governor's seat. She most likely had to earn her 80% approval rating. Seems to me that, whether you like her politics or not, she got to this level on her own, and with an incredible political talent.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

:puke:

you mention here are the ones spoken about. These are women whose contribution was to make the lives of other Americans better in some way. Their word were uplifting and their actions inspiring.

Sarah Palin's words are ugly and demeaning. The comments she made today are one example of how she is adding to the toxic discourse of this election.
