I’m sick and tired of hearing that Sarah Palin is above scrutiny because of her gender. Every time someone points out a reality based observation like that of James Carville yesterday, where he simply stated she was inexperience, the GOP “talking heads” turn to a cry of sexism. The talking points memo must read every time a Democrat speaks the truth scream from the mountaintops these three things; She’s being held to a different standard., This is gender based discrimination., “or” I think that statement is unfair to women. I wish the Democratic correspondents, would fire back just one simple truth every time the Republicans use the allegation that Mrs. Palin has more experience then Barack Obama. If in fact her gubernatorial experience of not even two years is what qualifies as executive experience then she in fact, has more experience and is better qualified then John McCain himself!

As I woman, I feel absolutely insulted by John McCain’s pick for his VP and would be willing to go even farther. As a human being with good common sense it goes against any common decency. His rash decision to throw this unqualified individual into the central spot light says a tremendous amount about how McCain views the American public. I for one, am not too blind to see this was a gimmick and a ploy. We would, “fall in love with her story” they all said. What a tabloid story? Give me a break! You can forget the rumors on the Internet and you can point to what you know are facts. She is under investigation for her ethics, “specifically” her “abuse of powers.” Her 17 year old daughter is 5 months pregnant but that is not the story. Are we missing the bigger picture here? It was reported 17 year old Bristol was “given a choice with this baby.” Bristol was given a choice, something women had to fight so hard for. While the irony is if her mother becomes our VP all future generations of women will loose that freedom. She is a staunch republican that believes in all circumstances, Roe vs Wade, should be over turned even in situations of rape and incest. So she was willing to offer that choice to her daughter but thinks the women of the United States don’t deserve that same choice? Sarah Palin, the woman of this nation want the same freedom to choose that you offered your daughter!

The rumors and accusations are enough to turn this election season into another issue of an inquiring magazine. How ever there is one fact in this slew of information I find interesting. Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol Palin was taken out of school for over 5 months because she had mononucleosis. Where was the mother during this time? With her ultra conservative family values, how was she caring for her sick daughter? Because in this same time frame as Bristol was sick with mono, she was having unprotected, out of wedlock, underage sex and getting pregnant. What makes you qualified to run this country, Sarah Palin? Shame on you John McCain, women of America know a real woman when we see one and Sarah Palin is NO Hillary Clinton.
