Stephanie Bressler hit the nail on the head. Because Palin is depicted speaking without her words being heard, It sends a message to men that women are to be looked at and not listened to. Combined with the pics of Palin standing on the stage with the camera’s view between Palin’s red stilleto-heeled legs of the men looking up at her and cheering, it was analagous to her being a stripper.

And for Feminist women who may be contemplating a vote for McCain/Palin, the image is of a woman who really has nothing to say (add) to the political dialogue, because she is a mere pretty face; and don’t you hate conservative women who look pretty but they don’t have much to say (that you like to hear) who aren’t feminists anyway? Afterall, She was a beauty queen.

Everyone should check this out and cast your vote:

Even with his most regretted failing (his first marriage failure) he takes full responsibility. He set up a generous alimony which he still pays and gave his ex-wife all their property. He gave her his respect and stil vaues her as a friend and loves her sons that he adopted as though they are his own flesh and blood.

John McCain has lived his life with honor and integrity. The Keating 5 scandal was for McCain an deeply painful event. Even though he was cleared of ALL WRONG DOING like John Glenn he was determined to make every day forward a proof of the vindication. John McCain has made every effort to keep all of his dealing fully transparant (a term Obama only applies to lingere and saran-wrap).

Every donation to the campaign and the donor is posted for inspection.

John felt that the pay raises that congress has voted for itself over and over were WRONG–so he votes against them every year and when they pass as they ALWAYS do he takes the extra and gives it to charity. He draws only what he was paid his first year in the senate.

Last year he gave 27% of his income to charity and in 2006 19%

Obama by contrast has given ess than 1% of his income to charity unti this year when the discrepancy was pointed out.

Sarah Palin gave over $5200 in 2007 that is more than Joe Biden has given in the last 8 years.

Look at the level of honesty from McCain and then look at Obama. Obama demanded that John McCain present his birth credentials to prove he was qualified to run–and what happened to Obama’s birth certificate??????????

John has given us 1400 pages of medica records and mental health evals.

Barack a page stating he has good health.
Even after years of prolonged cocaine, and other drug use.

Honesty is the most important piece in helping Americans to trust their government again.

Governor Palin is a fine governor and the reason she became governor was because there was a series of problems she saw fit to fix. As opposed to whine about.

Each step into public life Sarah Palin has made was made to solve a problem. THis is not some bizarre ego trip as is it is with Obama.

At each level of responsibility Sarah Palin made a positive difference and solved the problem she set out to fix and she solved a few more at each level for good measure.

Unlike Barack Obama, Sarah Palin exposed corruption and took stands agaisnt it. VERY PUBLIC STANDS–not an unknown speech in some basement or some unverifiable letter sent to Paulson.

Sarah Palin has balanced a State Budget. (only one on any ticket)
Sarah Palin has deployed Military units to War and Domestic Disaster assistance.(only one on any ticket)
Sarah Palin pushed through a pipeline deal that has been stalled for 30 years.
Vetoed legislation she agreed with because it was contrary to the law. (gay rights to parter benefits coverage in AK gay partners get the same coverage as married couples)

Your assement of Sarah Palin is ignorant and without merit. For you considerable intellect your conclusion is strikingly weak. In addition if you honestly compare Sarah Palin’s record of successs to that of Barack Obama he is the one who is seriousy lacking.

I think that’s great … please do.

And, I hope this idea spreads.

Just remember, if someone asks what the line means, here’s the explanation:

“Stop Humiliation And Disparagement Of Women”

As a long time business person, I have always put forth women at every opportunity -equal pay, training, executive positions and flexible work hours- basically whatever is needed to bring out the best in the individual, male or female. The discourse this election season has put fire back in my old bones, and as they say, “I’m mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.” Women cannot let an arrogant narcissistic misogynist be the leader of the greatest country on earth.

Today, I will write an open letter to everyone I know to help stop this Hollywood farce and with your permission, I will attach your “SHADOW” now…and “SHADOW” forever, as part of my email signature.

The thing of it is: each of us needs to do whatever we can to STOP this disgusting behavior on the part of the media people and of anyone who engages in it

“SHADOW” now . . . and “SHADOW” forever!

What I am planning to do is end every e-mail with this signature:

“SHADOW” now . . . and “SHADOW” forever!

I hope we will be able to start something that will at least cause conversation and, eventually, cause a change in people’s ways of thinking and talking about women.

Men are absolutely encouraged to join in this effort; after all, I am sure they don’t want their mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers and granddaughters to be treated disrespectfully either.

While not sharing Camille Paglia’s views on Hillary Clinton John McCain,or Barack Obama, we’re on common ground concerning Sarah Palin.

If you missed her first piece on Gov.Palin it’s here.

Flash back to 2004 another Springsteen concert this time for John Kerry
