Pig

"What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick."

-- Alaska Governor Sarah Palin during her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Minnesota last week.

"You know, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig."

-- Barack Obama, the Pig, during a town hall appearance in Virginia today.


I wonder if leftist pseudo-feminists will condemn Obama. I doubt it. Remember they sided with Bill Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey affairs.

Obama has reached a new low. Is he really so fearful and desperate as to resort to name-calling of the basest sort? I would say, yes.

Feminists for Palin!

A Feminist's Argument for McCain's VP
By Tammy Bruce

In the shadow of the blatant and truly stunning sexism launched against the Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign, and as a pro-choice feminist, I wasn't the only one thrilled to hear Republican John McCain announce Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.

For the GOP, she bridges for conservatives and independents what I term "the enthusiasm gap" for the ticket.

For Democrats, she offers something even more compelling - a chance to vote for a someone who is her own woman, and who represents a party that, while we don't agree on all the issues, at least respects women enough to take them seriously. Whether we have a D, R or an "i for independent" after our names, women share a different life experience from men, and we bring that difference to the choices we make and the decisions we come to.

Having a woman in the White House, and not as The Spouse, is a change whose time has come, despite the fact that some Democratic Party leaders have decided otherwise. But with the Palin nomination, maybe they'll realize it's not up to them any longer. Clinton voters, in particular, have received a political wake-up call they never expected.

Having watched their candidate and their principles betrayed by the very people who are supposed to be the flame-holders for equal rights and fairness, they now look across the aisle and see a woman who represents everything the feminist movement claimed it stood for.

Women can have a family and a career. We can be whatever we choose, on our own terms. For some, that might mean shooting a moose. For others, perhaps it's about shooting a movie or shooting for a career as a teacher. However diverse our passions, we will vote for a system that allows us to make the choices that best suit us. It's that simple. [More]

That's what I have been saying for a long time now. Sexism is alive, well and thriving in the "progressive" Democratic Party. They ran Hillary out of town but now object to another woman taking the spotlight for no other reason than she is a conservative Republican.

Doom

Clinton delegates back Obama, but poll show concern

Delegates to the Democratic National Convention arrive in Denver having largely put aside the deep divisions of the primary fight between Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, although some hold lingering concerns about Obama's level of experience, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll.

More than half of the delegates that Clinton won in the primaries now say they are enthusiastic supporters of Obama, and they also believe he will win the presidential election in November, the poll found. Three in 10 say they support Obama but have reservations about him or they support him only because he is the party's nominee. Five percent say they do not support him yet.

The poll, which was taken before Obama selected Senator Joseph Biden Jr. of Delaware as his running mate, also suggests that Clinton's 1,640 pledged delegates are evenly split over whom they plan to vote for on the floor of the convention during the roll call vote on Wednesday evening.

There will be blood. The PUMAs are on the prowl, though. Obama didn't ingratiate himself any by dissing Hillary yet again when he picked Joe "The Mouth" Biden to be his running mate.

Hell than no fury, Barry.

Hillary's Supporters to Obama: "Party Unity My A**!"

CNN's "Political Ticker" chronicled a growing movement of disgruntled Hillary supporters who are actively working against Obama:





Here's an MSNBC piece on Democrats who won't vote the party line:






Just Say No Deal:






Hillary's gals: "We are being thrown under the bus!"





NObama Girl: "We've Got to Crush Obama!" Hillarious!

“A woman who wildly mismanages and bankrupts a quarter-of-a-billion-dollar campaign operation, and then blames sexism in society, will dampen the dreams of our daughters.”

-- NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd, suggesting an alternative to the statement that "media sexism" derailed Hillary's candidacy and "dampens the dreams of our daughters," that Hill's supporters managed to insert into the national Democratic Party platform.
