This is the full article - interesting I think. And there is the view from outside America also - even stronger I suspect… Palin: wrong woman, wrong message Sarah Palin shares nothing but a chromosome with Hillary Clinton. She is Phyllis Schlafly, only younger. By Gloria Steinem September 4, 2008 Here’s the good news: Women have become so politically powerful that even the anti-feminist right wing — the folks with a headlock on the Republican Party — are trying to appease the gender ga
Interesting take on the VP candidate…

Gloria Steinem on Sarah Palin: Wrong Woman, Wrong Message
September 5th, 2008 · No Comments
Incontrovertible women’s rights advocate and American icon Gloria Steinem wades into the Palin (who “shares nothing but a chromosome with Clinton”) discussion with a focused Op-Ed in the LA Times. I strongly urge you to read Steinem’s piece, but here are the highlights (bolded portions are my editorial emphasis): This isn’t the first time a boss has picked an unqualified woman just because she agrees with him and opposes everything most other women want and need. Feminism has never been about ge

Obama’s Windfall Profits Proposal
September 5th, 2008 · No Comments
Obama’s Windfall Profits Proposal General Comments During the campaign and as late as August 1st, Senator Obama (D-IL) proposed to provide $500 per person or $1000 per family to supposedly compensate America for the burden of high gasoline and home heating oil prices for a 4-month period. That will cost about $75 billion. I know how that makes sense to buy votes for an increasingly socialist America. Of course, it does not make sense for capitalism. For years on this site, I have argued

September 5th, 2008 · No Comments
Sarah Palin may not be coming to Florida Monday, after all. But that other lipstick-wearing political rock star, Hillary Clinton, will be campaigning in Tampa and Orlando Monday for Obama. Details on time and place have not been announced. “We are thrilled to have Senator Clinton back in the Sunshine State to stump for Barack Obama.

Gloria Steinem: Palin is The Wrong Woman
September 4th, 2008 · No Comments
I hope most Democratic women realize the truth in Gloria Steinem’s column today in the Los Angeles Times. Hillary Clinton certainly does, and so do I. The reason Gov. Sarah Palin is the wrong woman for the job of Vice-President has nothing to do with her gender or her family issues or private life (although I wish she would stop bringing them up and showcasing them.) She’s the wrong woman for the job because of her stand on issues and her attachment to the radical right. Unfair treatment by
