Sarah Palin is wrong for this country

Sarah Palin is a scary woman whom I believe is the current generations Phylis Schaffley. An intolerant woman who has no business being on the Vice Presidential ticket. She has been isolated in Alaska, far removed from the lower 48, with limited travel experience. She has been to Canada and Mexico but just acquired her first passport last year and had never traveled over seas until this year. How can we entrust a person who has no real world experience to be one seat away from the presidency when John McCain is 72 years old? This alone should scare everyone. 

If that is not enough, then here is a snippet from her first interview with Charles Gibson from ABC. There is plenty to watch on youtube, but this piece accentuates her lack of basic knowledge that a President should have. She doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is. That is the equivalent to a doctor not knowing where the kidney is. Kind of a necessity to be able to preform the job.

Don't let this beauty queen fool you. She is not pro-women. In a strange way she reminds me of Clarence Thomas. Not realizing that she is where she is because others fought hard for her to have that right. That disconnect is all the proof I need to know she is not a compassionate conservative. (Whatever that means.)

Other reasons to vote Democratic:

Sarah Palin charges rape victims for the cost of their rape kit,

Believes that she should 'put it in G-ds hands' when making governing decisions (sound familiar?),

She believes that global warming is a farce,

And on and on and on and on.

If you haven't registered to vote, please do it now. If we have another four years of 'Bush', who knows where we will be. This is very disheartening. Vote democratic!

Disssh.... Drawerrr.....

Have you seen this add for Fisher and Paykel? There is a man watching TV in his living room when he notices his wife moving the dishes from the dishwasher to a draw. He sits quietly while his wife unloads the dish washer, dish by dish. He starts slowly chanting, disssh...., drawerrr...., dissssh...., drawer...., etc.

Low and behold, he has a epiphany! Let's make a dishwasher that has two drawers! Wow! Isn't he clever? Not only does he have a great idea, but he also doesn't have to do any housework! My what a brainy guy. 

Or how about this one? There is a man listening to his wife comment that front loading washing machines save water, but they are a pain to unload. She is bending over moving laundry from the washing machine to the dryer while making this comment to her husband. He is standing near her watching when he gets a gleam in his eye, bends over to give her a tiny kiss on the forehead and walks away while she continues to work.

The next scene shows him sharing his great idea of a front loading dryer to two other people (presumably in his company) and saying the idea came to him in the shower. Wow. What another clever guy. Apparently Fisher and Paykel hire lazy men who do nothing more than sit around watching their wives do the housework. Then when an idea comes to them, they don't even fess up to the circumstances that lead them to the idea to begin with. By all means, that would show the company just how lazy he really is.

I am so tired of all of the adds that show women doing housework or women making fun of men who try to do housework but not to the woman's expectation level. Silly man, what else could we have expected except poor cleaning performance. 

Sexism is so ingrained in our lives that we accept it at so many levels that we don't even question continued sexist roles promoted every day. Watch commercials, so many are just like this one. Aren't you grateful that Fisher and Paylek is looking out for your best interests and making women's work easier? Watch and see how many other companies are looking out for women too!
