One of my favorite blogs to read is the Zen of Motherhood. Today Mama Zen has hit the nail on the head. Go read her and come back and tell me where you stand.
Side note: Is this country really arguing about a common phrase including the words "pig" and "lipstick" that John McCain and Dick Chaney have both used themselves?
Is this country really going to believe that Barack Obama is a sexist because he used this phrase?
Here's one for you: On the Today show this morning, they talked about, in the Primaries, McCain took a question from from a supporter who asked, "How do we beat the bitch?" His reaction? "That's an excellent question." Where was all this "chivalry" then?

I just hope that the rest of the American women that McCain is pandering to can see the light. I know that most of them are too smart to fall for it, but there are a few that I worry about.
The ones that were on the fence about McCain will now vote for him just because there is a woman on the ticket. They are impressed with her beauty (doesn't she look like Tina Fey?) and her impressive speaking ability, but don't actually listen to what is coming out of her mouth.
It makes me a little sick to think about, actually. Not sure I can take 8 more weeks of this!
you know I love ya right??:)
But I"m going to have to totally disagree with mama zen. I think it is crazy to be getting worked up over a lipstick comment.. but there is no way I'll ever vote Obama.. there are many many reasons.. and I had totally planned on voting McCain even before Palin got on board.. even if I thought McCain was too liberal. For all the reasons Mama Zen said she liked Clinton.. Those are all the reason I Did not..
If it was up to me I would be patching up some of those cracks in the glass ceiling ;)
I still love ya and I"m not saying any of this to change anyones views or minds or to start any sort of political debate.. but you told me to go read it and then come back and tell ya what I think. So I did. :)
I didn't go read the Zen article, but just wanted to say YES to you about the lipstick frenzy. They (McCain party) were just waiting for Obama to make any sort of comment that could be construed as derogatory towards THE female and when he did, they would call it sexist. It's the main reason they picked THE female and it served their purpose. I also find it interesting that they (non-Obama supporters) claimed they knew nothing about him when he started this campaign, he wasn't well-known or experienced enough, blah blah blah....but now they're all claiming they won't vote for him for "many many reasons". What are those reasons? I don't get it. As Bill Maher said....the so-called independents who don't vote for Obama are doing so because he's black, no matter what they say. There would be no other reason not to vote for him. Sorry, your post started me up and I will stop! This is my first time reading your blog and I liked it. :) I'll be stopping back by.
