Yes, Virginia -- There is a Feminist in Sarah Palin!

This past Tuesday, Sarah Palin made the most explicitly feminist political speech by ANYONE running for national office in the last 20 years. She said,
“Women of my generation were allowed finally to make more of our own choices with education, with career, and I have never forgotten that we owe that opportunity to women, to feminists who came before us,” Palin said. “The belief in equal opportunity is not just the cause of feminists, it’s the creed of our country — equal opportunity.”

Many people are trying to marginalize this lady, and discredit her accomplishments. She has worked harder than Obama & Biden combined. She has more executive experience, marked record of achievement and increased responsibility.

When was the last time you heard a MAN having a ethics violation for having his staff or security detail run women for him?

When was the last time you heard about how much a man spent on his apparel?

Why don't we talk about the abuse of power and the subversive tactic to rid us of our Free Speech...and One person One Vote? Or are we to accept the thug politics and stomp all over the Constitution.

And what happened to that press complaint "We don't have access?" She is the MOST accessible candidate.

Electing Obama will set the progress of African Americans back 20 years. Women further. Remember when they first implemented affirmative action, and unqualified people were getting hired?

This past week, I sat on a panel for AC360. I thought my positions and arguments were valid and was open for debate. The attacks I have received, had NOTHING to do with what I said, but how I looked, or suggested that I was a slave of some sort...HUH?

Let's talk about the issues. One thing that needs to resonate among women is that in 2008 with 52%, women decide. I ask each of you reach into your soul and open you mind. There are 16.5% women who are still undecided, help them decide McCain-Palin.

The "Ironed Jawed Angels" ask no less.

Change to believe in...


America still does not see what change he (Obama) is talking about. It's the .38 cents left in your wallet for every dollar you earn...that is the change we can believe in...because the other .62 cents will be a pipe dream!

If you visit his site, on his splash page he is offering the First Edition of a Obama Magnet, that you will get with your $15 donation.

The second edition magnet will come into play if he is elected into office.

Open letter to Hollywood

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hollywood,

I do enjoy your movies. You were great in your last drama/comedy/horror/animated/chick-flick/action-adventure film!

There is one tiny little thing I wish you could understand.

Your attempts at influencing the political outcome of this country (especially those of you who aren't American citizens) with your silly, out-of-touch, uneducated, and misinformed statements are truly not helping the political process. If you were remotely in tune with the average American, you'd understand we just don't care what you think about the candidates, their political parties, or their policies. Most of us actually find your political statements extremely irritating. Of course, there are those who will value your opinions of such things as much as you do. Those who base their vote solely on who YOU choose to vote for really shouldn't be voting, but they do and are not making a truly informed decision. Does this not bother you?

Please, just go back to reading your scripts, driving that hybrid car the rest of us have to wait 9 months to get, and pretending to be "normal" while living lives the majority of people on the planet can't imagine living.

Seriously. Let the hard working, average folks of this country decide its political fate without your annoying interference. Your opinion is truly no more important than ours.

Your fan,
Ms. Average American

In case you missed me....
