He is treating his VP canidate like a little submissive house maid that is not aloud in public. He is a sexist pig...I love how they 'blame' the media for being sexist...It is McCain who has treated her as so...He put her on this pedistal of sexism...There is not a single person to blame but him...and maybe his dumb a** advisors...

Picking Palin was a problem, but treating her the way he has is another...This will cost him the campaign..


FREE SARAH PALIN

If palin was chosen as VP for a reason other than because she's woman, tell me what she has over any other governour in the US. This was a horribly sexist choice.

McCain is a law unto himself. He does not respect womem because a couple of them married him. He knows that he is not respectable.

McCain does not respect women at all....I am not a fan of Palin but I actually feel sorry for her for the fact that she is being used as some sort of pawn just so McCain can win the election. I saw right through that when he first announced her as the running mate.

no defense from the republicans? This is a bit suprising. I expect some kind of ridiculous, easy to dismiss, usually fradulent post in defense of Palin, but I don't see anything.

Yes, of course he absolutely does.

The better question (for me) would be ..... does Barack??

The answer is a clear and absolute "No", he does not.

Why would you say that? I've never heard Obama make one statement that I would consider to be sexist.
