Sarah Palin's Bona-Fides
I enjoy reading XX Factor on Slate.com and thought the article on XX Factor XXTra (The Un-Hilary) especially worthwhile. We are walking down a dangerous path when we attempt to evaluate Sarah Palin by any other way than on her qualifications as a potential President. She is not a symbol or an archetype for women; she is a job applicant. I have ...

Hotlink to a Music Video -- John McCain for President!
I enjoyed watching both major American political party conventions during the last two weeks. Both were highly impressive, albeit quite stage managed, television events. the speeches were good, the nutzo fervor of the partisan crowds was exciting, even the props, hats, signs and occasional arrests of journalists on public sidewalks, and protesting ...

Are women candidates destined to forever be "the bitch"?
When will we see a woman get through a campaign without being called ''mean'', a ''bitch'', ''cold'', ''out of touch'' or a ''zealot''? These are exactly the same arguments that were thrown at Senator Clinton during her run, and now they're being turned on Governor Palin. For that matter, these allegations haev also been slung at Michelle Obama. ...

Mean Girl? What about Bush?
The XX bloggers are complaining that Palin's speech tonight was too harsh and calling her a mean girl. It was mentioned that this is just how those mean nasty conservatives work. What about how the Democrats have spoken about President Bush for the past eight years? Have they ever paid him the least amount of respect? I think not. Instead of ...

Appalling "Fun"
That Dickerson finds it ''fun'' to thrust a 17 year-old facing a major life challenge onto the world stage is appalling. Are we to understand an implication that - if it weren't for her daughter's pregnancy - then Palin would be accepted by the left as a credible vice-presidential candidate? Hell, no! After all there's troopertasergate and all ...

Sarah Palin & the Republican Party
It's taken me a couple of days to sort out my feelings but now I realize what's been troubling me. It's grief - recognition of complete hopelessness. I'm a registered Democrat now, have been for a while now. But at heart, I was still a Republican, hoping for the Republican Party to right itself, come back to center, to sanity. I was born into ...

Gov Palin: Choice for VP???
Having been a Humanitarian Aid Relief Coordinator and Educator for First Responders for 30 years allowed me entrance into numerous nations across four continents. I made sure I did my best to arrange my furloughs back to the US during the RNC conventions and elections...as much as possible. Several times, I was personally invited to attend ...

Sarah Palin, Meet Dan Quayle!
The problem with a promising, but totally unprepared, unseasoned young elected official like Alaska's Gov. Sarah Palin being only a heartbeat away from a McCain presidency is NOT because of his advanced age. If he were a lad of 50 and appearing as healthy as he appears now, the taboo fact I am about to discuss would STILL make McCain's choice of ...
