Tammy Bruce: Feminism and Sarah Palin

A great article on Palin, feminism, and the two parties from Tammy Bruce of RCP.

She hits it out of the park.

My favorite chunk:

"Virtually moments after the GOP announcement of Palin for vice president, pundits on both sides of the aisle began to wonder if Clinton supporters - pro-choice women and gays to be specific - would be attracted to the McCain-Palin ticket. The answer is, of course. There is a point where all of our issues, including abortion rights, are made safer not only if the people we vote for agree with us - but when those people and our society embrace a respect for women and promote policies that increase our personal wealth, power and political influence.

Make no mistake - the Democratic Party and its nominee have created the powerhouse that is Sarah Palin, and the party's increased attacks on her (and even on her daughter) reflect that panic.

The party has moved from taking the female vote for granted to outright contempt for women. That's why Palin represents the most serious conservative threat ever to the modern liberal claim on issues of cultural and social superiority. Why? Because men and women who never before would have considered voting for a Republican have either decided, or are seriously considering, doing so.

They are deciding women's rights must be more than a slogan and actually belong to every woman, not just the sort approved of by left-wing special interest groups."

Definitely read it.

Great List.

Very concise list about various Sarah smears.

Palin Rumors.

Very concise and to-the-point. There are approximately 70 of these points at this time. Highly recommended.

P.S. -- Sarah Palin has a tattoo of the big dipper? Sorry if this is shallow, but I find that way cool.

Sarah Palin: "Do I have to show them my stretch marks?"

Over the weekend before the convention, campaign aides made the uncomfortable decision to urge her to go public with her unmarried 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy in order to rebut salacious Internet rumors that the teen was actually the mother of Palin's own newborn child. An aide, speaking anonymously because the matter is sensitive, says that Palin and her husband grew angry about the allegations. "Do I have to show them my stretch marks?" she asked one campaign official.

Well, Andrew Sullivan basically wanted you to, Gov. Palin. So did a lot of the Obama-Left.

Interesting article in full, though. Newsweek: An Apostle of Alaska.

Still love this video.

I liked Gov. Palin before she was selected as the Republican nominee.

And I still think this fan-made "campaign ad" from the long ago times is so amazing.



Hope you like it, too.

More Positivity.

So much to cover, but -- alas -- life gets in the way. I have some more stuff on my Dreamy Lover Andrew Sullivan who is still cranking up the smear machine. He's a treasure trove of gutter filth.

But! I got this in my inbox from a gentleman named David:



Real Hope.

I hope the Netroots can get it. I'll keep defending Gov. Palin as long as you keep smearing her. But it's just too juicy to pry into her family and body. They can't resist! And because of that, it's nigh-impossible for anyone on the Obama Left to get a clue.

Thanks for the image, David!

LOVE IT!!!!

The RNC is playing "Barracuda" by Heart right now. The nation has Palin fever!

"Barracuda" always makes me think of this clip from Charlie's Angels.

Not saying this is Governor Palin. But the song sure makes me think of it. And my gay self adores this clip.



However, I do hope Sarah Palin whips Washington into shape!

But "Bitch." "I heard that." Is one of my most favorite lines ever.

"Oooo! BARRACUDA!"

The RNC is on. point.

Adorable!

Here's a video of little Piper Palin applying a little spit-shine to her baby brother's head.



Too cute!

Feminism x2.

This is a powerful image that needs to be shared:



This was taken from Meghan McCain's political blog.

Blackberry in one hand; her baby Trig in another.

But it's a powerful image I felt I needed to share. Women often struggle to juggle family and career. Why is it somehow different to the Obama-Left because Sarah Palin has an (R) next to her name?

We all wish we could be Sarah Palin.

Feminism.

There you go.

That's feminism.

Sarah and Todd Palin are good parents. And there you are: Todd Palin holding little Trig.

Win.

Gov. Palin's speech was FABULOUS!

Still reeling.

No moral waxing. Nothing that will be sabre-rattling from the Obama-Left.

She attacked Obama on his experince, attacked the media for attacking her on her experience, and spoke about reform.

Win, win, win.

Prove 'em wrong, Gov. Palin. Keep it up!

Positive Notes.

I just bought this t-shirt:



It will look great with my Hillary Clinton button on it. Very cool shirt.

Get your own here! They also have women's sizes, stickers and such.
