Clearly, Sarah Palin was enjoying herself tonight. I have no doubt that she will relish the campaign trail and will not quake in the face of the Democrats and their allies in the main stream media.
To those launching sexist attacks suggesting she can’t handle being a mom and a vice presidential candidate, I’d suggest that she can play the attack dog v.p. candidate while not chipping a nail or forgetting to feed her children.
The biggest problem with her speech is that it was probably better than McCain’s will be.

I wish Obama was a woman so any and all criticism of him could be dismissed as sexist.

While you’re wishing, maybe it would make you feel better to pretend sexism doesn’t exist.

While you’re statement didn’t exactly make sense; if you’re suggesting that I wish sexism didn’t exist, I already do wish it didn’t.
However, saying someone is inexperienced isn’t sexist. Saying someone is a liar when they say they’ve worked to cut spending when the reality is they’ve made the single largest per-capita federal spending request in the nation isn’t sexist. Saying someone is a theocrat when they state that their role as governor is to “implement God’s will” isn’t sexist.
Sexism thrives most easily when crying wolf has watered it down to an almost meaningless term.

The “while you’re wishing” refers to your statement, “I wish Obama was a woman . . ..” From there, your comment is arguing against a point I did not make.
Your entire second paragraph, on its face, is true. But, it has nothing to do with what I was saying. If you’ll read my post, the sexism I was pointing to was “suggesting she can’t handle being a mom and a vice presidential candidate.”

Follow the trackback to GayPatriot on your other post and see how I’m being declared a sexist for the very things I’ve mentioned here.

Of course, I’m apparently banned from posting there so I can’t even defend myself, not that I really need to with the caliber of argument being used against me…
