Punching a Woman

If there were ever a time to punch a woman, this is it. I'm just wondering if Joe Biden has the balls to smack Sarah Palin down, just as he should in their debate.

I am a feminist. But I will not vote for a woman who has no interest in furthering women as a whole, just one woman, herself. She is Dick Cheney with a vagina and she's a whole lot meaner.

I think that McCain was partially brilliant and partially stupid for choosing Palin. The brilliant part is that she is the pit bull with lipstick (per her quip last night "what's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.") and it's going to be tricky for any man to be as vicious as he needs to be to kick her ass. He's going to be accused of being sexist. The stupid part is that McCain has chosen a woman who is, so far, unrelenting, sarcastic, accusatory and an out and out liar. The AP reported a few of the stretched truths and outright lies that were told so far at the Republican convention.

Sarah Palin also spoke about her daughter, the pregnant, teenage one. She first asked that the media leave her out of the press because this is a private family matter and that family members should be off limits. Palin had no problem talking about her son though. He's enlisted and off to Iraq, so she knows what it's like to have a son serving in the war that is "a task from God".

Another note on her daughter. In statements about her daughter's pregnancy, Sarah Palin stated that she "wanted to give her daughter the choice". Funny that because Palin is so anti-abortion, that the only exception that she would grant was a doctors note saying that the mother's life would end if the pregnancy continued. I keep hearing about people who call themselves "pro-life" exercising their reproductive rights, stating that it's different for them. Given Palin's panache for beating people down and getting what she wants, she will kick Roe v. Wade into oblivion if given a chance.

I pray for you Joe Biden. I pray that you have the wit and fortitude to see past Sarah Palin's female sheep's clothing and conquer the sarcastic, uncooperative, hard ass, evangelical wolf that she truly is. She will pull no punches, she will kick you where the sun don't shine. I expect you to do the same if you want to get that VP job.
