I have a hard time believing any feminist would choose Palin. All of the strong women I know think Palin is a joke and were highly offended that the repubs thought just any ol'woman would do. There were other strong republican women to choose from and he chose her??? Or someone chose her. I am not sure how much say McCain had in his veep choice.

The friend Karfar described in her post was NOT a feminist....feminists don't vote for women just because they're women....and most of the feminists I know thought it was just stupid and insulting that the repubs felt any woman would do.

Are you talking classical feminists or the new liberal feminists?

Until I heard the story from both involved it'd e too Jerry Springer for me and since you are a Democrat first and foremost, I wouldn't have a great appreciation for your interpretation.

Don't take that as me saying you're lying but I think you have a set of glasses you see through (just as I do mine) which colors your interpretation.

Sure it's not. He's got you fooled obviously.

You think this massive spending will pay for istelf or that somehow the rich will be able to bear the burden or not pass their increased taxes onto you?

Now you're pickin' nits.....although there are degrees of feminism there are no such things as "classical feminist" and "new liberal feminists".
