And now for something completely different!

One of the best speaches McCain has given so far!

Biden / Palin Debate Oct. 2, 2008

So, who won last night???

I know, I know, I'm going to get 2 answers, maybe 3. Those who are already voting for Obama will say that Biden won, and those voting for McCain will say Palin won. Then the handfull of undecideds that will actually decide who our next president will be, they are probably throwing their hands up in the air saying "DRAW!" Even though I already know who I'm going to vote for and why, I think I would have to agree with the draw. I don't think there was a clear winner last night, nor do I think there was a clear winner last friday with the debate between McCain & Obama.

I think Biden handled himself well. He didn't put his foot in his mouth and didn't ramble on like he normally does. Palin showed that she knew what she was talking about, and held her own quite well. I also think that the moderator did well at being objective and unbiased, despite the fact that she should have recused herself for having a conflict of interest. However, I seem to be in the minority on those feelings.

I was on Twitter while watching the debate, and I got to see quite an array of voices. People who thought that Biden won and couldn't stand Palin, and vice versa. Unfortunately there were a lot of name calling and pettiness on both sides of the equation. I can understand frustration and some of the anger towards each other because you're not getting your voice heard. That's legitimate. But when you start complaining about someone's accent or pronunciation of words, it goes beyond common curtousy.

I don't see any point in spreading lies or calling names. I don't like it when either side does it, not just the side that I am not on. However, I do see MORE petty name calling when it comes to Palin. Unfortunately I see it coming mostly from women. This does not surprise me, and probably doesn't surprise most women.

We've always known that women can be extremely back stabbing when it comes to competition. No hold bars, no kit gloves, no holding anything back. When women fight, it's down and dirty. That's what I see out there in the political stream. Those women who don't agree with Palin's political views are pissed! The mad that the republicans put a woman up for VP and Obama snubbed Hillary. They are mad that she's not totally pro-choice. They are also mad that she's not easy to dismiss as a backwards fundamentalist who cowtows to her husband and her bible.

I believe that the Democrat women are so upset because a woman who is NOT a Democrat could make it to the White House. They see her as a threat to their way of thinking. What they don't seem to see, is that they made it where this could happen. It's a good thing, as far as I'm concerned.

They want women to be strong. Sarah Palin is a very strong woman. They want women to be independant. Sarah Palin is extremely independant. They want women to think for themselves and to have the same jobs that men can have. Sarah Palin is all of that! She's the poster child for what the feminist movement is all about. Not the political ideologies, but the foundations of what women's rights were fought for. Just because she doesn't agree with the Democrat party line does not make her less of a feminist, or less of a woman! It shows just how strong of a woman she really is though. I doubt there are many other women out there that could stand up against so many women to and say "I'm a Republican Woman, hear me roar! Like a pitbull with lipstick!"

Well, with that, I give you a link to the twitter feed about the election. It scrolls in realtime all the things that people are throwing out into the universe about the election. Of course right now, it's mostly about Palin, both good and bad. I thought it was interesting and it inspired this post. So have fun with it! http://election.twitter.com/
