As
the single most historic presidential election rages on, the second
female to be nominated as the Vice President, was announced yesterday.
No matter which way you vote, this election will belong in the history
books forever! However, the question arises, are women being insulted
by Gov. Sarah Palin's nomination?
The Democrat View
There are
plenty of women who feel that this nomination by John McCain is a lame
attempt to steal the female vote from the Democrats. They say that the
Republicans are putting Gov. Palin up as a token female politician to
try and replace Senator Clinton. These people are truely insulted and
angry at this pick for V.P.. Gov. Palin's relative inexperience in
foreign policies, and being too far removed from Washington D.C. is
being put into question as a responsible choice. As well as being
their proof that her nomination was just for political gain.
The Rebulican View
On the other
side of the aisle, the Republicans are saying that she was picked for
Vice President because of her strong beliefs and convictions. They
point to the fact that her short term of being a Governor of Alaska,
the largest state & most important state concerning our current
energy problems, is more governmental experience than Senator Obama's
few years being in the Senate. She fought against the corruption in
the Alaskan government, and won the race for Governor because of her
ethics. Gov. Palin has proven that she is bipartisan by working with
people from all parties to fight the corruption in her party and state.
My View
Personally,
I feel insulted that there are so many people out there that think that
a woman being nominated by the Republican party for VP is JUST a
political play for the female vote! Why can't she truely be the best
person for the job? Is it so hard to believe that John McCain could
feel that she would be the best person to replace him in office? Isn't
it MORE of an insult that not only did Obama NOT nominate Hillary
Clinton as his VP, but now he dismisses Sarah Palin as a "real"
contender for VP?
As
a woman, as a voter, I am insulted! I'm insulted that so many people
think that women would only vote for a woman because of her gender.
I"m insulted that Obama did not take Hillary as his running mate
because he didn't like her, and because she was serious competition for
him. I'm insulted by the fact that the media focusing on the fact that
Sarah Palin was mayor of a town of only 9000, instead of recognizing
her Governorship of Alaska and what she did to bring about REAL change,
instead of the vague change Obama only talks about.
Yes,
I am insulted, but not by the nomination of a woman, but by the
reaction of the Democratic party. The party who CLAIMS to be the
champions of women. The party who should have nominated Hillary
Clinton, but instead are insulting the woman who was nominated. I am
insulted
"The party who CLAIMS to be the champions of women. The party who should have nominated Hillary Clinton, but instead are insulting the woman who was nominated. I am insulted "
Here Here. Exactly. I couldn't have worded it better. Great article and to be honest I'm upset by just HOW much backlash Palin is receiving from Hillary supporters.
