I've heard Palin's "18 million cracks" in the glass ceiling comment.. |
|
a few times now, and each time it pisses me off a little more. I know I will upset all the Mary Poppins net nannies around here, but I really want to call her by a gender specific slur that starts with "B" and ends with "ITCH".
I really want Senator Clinton to rip her up into little shreds and toss her in a salad.
This is just such disrespect to all the competent women in government who are qualified prepared and competent to be President, and there are many out there, both Democrats and Republicans. This "woman" is definitely not among them.

2. What the Palin pick shows: It takes something pretty small to slither through a crack. |

3. I agree. Every time I hear it, it infuriates me. I can't stand that she is |
|
even pretending to compare herself to Hillary. I keep thinking that she's saying that she is going to do something Hillary didn't...as if she's actually saying she is better than Hillary. I can't stand seeing that clip.

4. It's not Hillary's job now.... |
|
Obama must show his strength without Hillary to rescue him..........If he does that..........OMG there comes a new Saturday Night Live Skit...............Obama takes Hillary out of the closet, loads in her batteries and pushes her out in front of a camera.
That would be bad for Obama. I want others like McCaskill, Pelosi to get busy.

6. I agree. And her point is very clear: |
|
Vote for us because I am a women even though I don't care about your vagina or mine. Sorry but that's just how I feel. Sue me for feeling that way but how the hell can any woman agree to be on a ticket with McCain who does not give a damn about women's rights.

9. Senator Clinton will take her cue from Senator Obama's campaign on how to deal with Gov. Palin. |
|
I am sure that Hillary must be fuming over the glass ceiling remarks, but she will choose her response carefully so it will not reflect badly on Obama.

10. I found it to be obnoxious |
|
As someone who voted for Clinton for Senate and knows her hard work and experience, personally I find it insulting that Palin would try and snatch her message down to the 18 million cracks when she stands for everything that Hillary stands against AND has a fraction of the experience that Hillary has.
Palin spoke as if HRC should just pass the baton for all women off to her perky miss alaska ass.

11. 18 million cracks in John McCain's glass jaw |
|
McStank does not understand women or their voting, at all.
This reminds me of Daddy Bush thinking Dan Quayle looked like Robert Redford, and would add sizzle to his ticket.

12. The good thing about those comments is |
|
That Palin was supposed to help McCain peel off PUMAs and PUMA-Lites - the democrats who feel (rightly or wrongly, I'm not going to go into it) that Hillary was treated unfairly during the campaign and during the veep selection. That in itself is pretty condescending thinking from McCain, but he's used to replacing one woman with another and going on as if nothing changed.
When Palin made that comment, she was essentially trying to cast herself as Hillary's political heir when it comes to women in politics without having to pay any dues, and that has not only pissed you off, but I bet it's now pissed off a lot of now former PUMAs.
Plus, it's more than likely pissed off Hillary and Bill so they're going to fight harder for Obama partly because she's so incompetent and has no right taking Hillary's place, but also, there is no way in hell after this political season, Hillary is going to allow another woman to make it to the second spot on a presidential ticket (and in all likelihood, the top spot once McCain kicks off within his first year of being president). That sounds bad, but it's just human nature, and I wouldn't fault her for it.
