The Democrats' Sexist Non-Response
.....................
Of course she can read an effective speech. To think otherwise was naive and sexist. But again, I can't blame the media for switching off their Palin narrative at the drop of a snide slam, it's not their job to bring the GOP Vice Presidential nominee down to size. It's the Democrats' job and they are failing miserably.................
She's taken no stands on any foreign policy issue -- other than to call the Iraq War "God's work." And on most domestic issues, she's stayed under the radar.
Democrats should be out there every day demanding that McCain remove the tape from her mouth and put her on Meet the Press. Of course now that the press has been forced to carry all the water, the campaign has a credible reason why she'll choose to stay away and will instead deliver last night's speech hundreds more times over the next 60 days.
People are asking "where's Hillary", as if she's obliged to take on Palin -- or Gov. Sebelius or Gov. Napolitano or Sen. Feinstein. Please ... this is ridiculous.
We have a Vice Presidential nominee, Joe Biden, and it's his job to treat Gov. Palin like a dangerous lunatic who wants to force our children to grow up in an abstinence only education, forced creationism, bare-shelved library, plutocratic tax policy hell. And if people are offended, let them be offended. The only way to fight the Palin propaganda is to give the American people the facts and let them decide for themselves. more at:
