Palin is her own woman and that is the ONLY definition of “Real Feminist”.

For the past few years, I have seen liberal principles of inclusion and equal rights kicked to the ground by liberals and have been outraged by the hypocrisy and betrayal. Your analogy about Nazi Germany is apropos. The propping up of liberal men was achieved by demolishing Clinton and Palin (and their supporters). It is the political equivalent of Kristallnacht for women. I have contempt for a lot of Republican men; but at this point I think Democrats are beneath contempt and so are any women who continue to support these self-serving beasties.

Trish,

I stand firmly in my radical feminist boots when I say Sarah Palin supported the INDEPENDENT over the Republican, she does not have to believe in abortion to also believe in my right to have one (which is her stance by the way), and the fact that she votes policy over gender is not a problem to me as I have not bought into 100% the 30% thing…..

I find it laughable that anyone still wants to talk abortion because the issue is dead. DEAD. How do you know a democrat is lying? their lips are moving…

Jennifer, I’d agree with you that women ARE our own worst enemy … precisely because we canot and won’t band together enough to implement anything like a 30% solution.

And personally, I’d consider any world where a little girl can at least run for office without being threatened nonstop with rape and humiliation for daring to think herself qualified to be a better world than the one we’re in now.

Seriously, think about it. Even if nothing changes by putting women in power, we have two worlds we can choose from:

1) traffic jams, war, global warming, and the constant humiliation of women who try for positions of power, or
2) traffic jams, war, and global warming.

I’ll take #2, thanks.

That’s a basic tenet of ANY type of feminism, that just getting in power is worth it. If you don’t at least believe that much, you aren’t a feminist.

Pat, name one time that Sarah Palin ever attempted to take anyone’s abortion rights away in Alaska. One time. ONE.

Who gives a shit if she doesn’t like it, as long as she lets other people have them when they are needed? Contrast that with the shitstains in office now, including that jug-eared ugly bastard in the White House who just ripped abortion rights right out of your hands, and you are screaming about the hypothetical non-existent incursions against your abortion rights by a state governor who never ONCE attempted to do ANYTHING to make abortion illegal?! Are you even listening to yourself?!

Pat:

At least Sarah doesn’t tell us what we want to hear and then stab us in the back. Don’t blame us because all the choices we have are bad.

Pat, what exactly did the supposedly pro-choice democrats do for reproductive health? their speeches sound to me like the garbage they put on the shiny leaflets to get our vote. they do zero. forget pro choice democrats after the last house bill. sarah palin is not worse. she does not like abortion. i don’t like abortion. that does not make me take the right of a woman over her body away. what about fighting against unwanted pregnancy, better contraception and so on. sarah palin would be with you.
we need to start thinking about strategic voting and not looking for the perfect candidate. all democrats no matter how nice they are need to get punished for throwing reproductive services out. well republicans want be better. but if dems lose by large margins next year and lose the womens vote, they will wake up and take us serious. if you cannot think about strategic voting, you will always be taken advantage.

And “feisty” Sarah just addressed a group of anti abortionists and you still would consider her a feminist to lead this country? No doubt those members of the House who helped to pass this scurrilous Stupak Amendment are bad enough, but you really are in favor of supporting a candidate who is out front in her opposition to reproductive rights?

Amazing.
