sarah palin, etc.etc.

i hope like hell the majority of women aren't stupid enough to fall for this ploy by the republican party.

so if you weren't already convinced of who you were voting for...here's a question...

are you racist? OR

are you sexist?

haha. just kidding. in a way--only because i'm pretty sure there are a few people that will vote the lesser of what they deem two evils.

here's an article by gloria steinem:

here's another funny thing. carly fiorino last night was talking about what a fighter palin was. that she was so strong and such a fighter! one of the examples she used was that palin flew down to california to give a speech one day--and on the next day, she flew back to alaska and gave birth. wow. she's a true fighter!

you know what i call that? further proof she's a horrible mother and needs to get her priorities straight. her son may not have had down syndrome before that flight--but who is to say that she didn't help contribute to that? i highly doubt you're supposed to be flying around making speeches when you are that late in your pregnancy...

i hope she stops fighting for the republican party and starts fighting for her family.

i will be putting my bedframe together tomorrow--in anticipation of my new bed being delivered sometime saturday! yay! the instructions says it requires 2 people to assemble--but i have high hopes that i can do it all by my lonesome!

She was in Dallas, TX not California, and she was leaking amniotic fluid and in freaking labor when she gave the speech and got on the plane and flew back to Alaska via Seattle where she didn't stop in Anchorage to give birth to a child who she already knew had downs syndrome and as a bit premature but drove a few more hours out of the way to have him in a teeny tiny small town hospital.

Yeah. I know right. But as she touts to the Republicans, isn't it wonderful how they didn't opt to abort their son when they found out he was special?

Whoa. So that gets my goat a little there.

i stand corrected. thanks! but if you're that far along in labor anyways--then you should have stayed put and had the damn baby in texas. but then again, she was probably thinking--"who cares, this kid already has down's syndrome."

i am not a soccer mom but i feel rather offended on their behalf. i'm not quite so sure why i feel so strongly about it. maybe it's because the soccer moms i do know actually care about their children and sacrifice for their children. they don't pretend at it!
