Oh my goodness I am giddy with excitement for the debate on Thursday between the Vice Presidential candidates. I hope for Americans sake that Biden rips Palin a new one.
Biden should treat her the exact same as he would if she was a man. I remember one thing clearly, when Biden questioned Condi Rice about the Iraq war a few years ago during a Senate committee hearing and he leaned over his desk and yelled at her with the angriest face I have ever seen, because she was pushing for a war that his son was going to have to go fight.
Biden's son is in the military too for those folks who don't know. You probably don't know because Biden isn't trying to use his son's service in the military as a talking point to get more votes. In fact Biden's son is the Attorney General of Delaware and if Biden becomes VP, the governor of Delaware was going to appoint his son to the Senate seat but he can't because his son is getting ready to be deployed to the Middle East.
Also what is the McCain campaign trying to hide by preventing Sarah Palin from answering questions from reporters off the cuff? The night after the first debate between McCain and Obama, Biden was on many news shows discussing the debate and Palin was notably absent/silent. If the McCain campaign doesn't have enough confidence in Palin's ability to answer questions from the Press that she hasn't preped for, than how the hell can they have trust in her to be Vice President?!
This election is absolutely critical and McCain, instead of listening to his instincts and going with his first choice for VP Joe Lieberman, or even his second choice Tom Ridge, he decided to play the game and pick a candidate he hardly knows and clearly doesn't trust in order to pick off women voters.
What is so puzzling to me is that Palin cares for woman just as much as she cares about democrats...which is very little. She doesn't support equal pay for woman, and she doesn't support a woman's right to choose. Ok fine I'll give her the whole choice thing but how can anyone in this day in age not support legislation that would mandate that women get paid the same amount of money men do in their jobs?
Also now that I'm a mom I can't tell you how hard juggling your old life with your new life. I'm not going to judge her for accepting the nomination for VP, despite the fact that she has a brand new baby with special needs and a teenage daughter who is pregnant. However, there are a few extremely clear points that need to be stated here:
1. She has chosen Country first (over her family)
2. Abstinence only programs clearly haven't worked
3. She is totally irresponsible for having sex with her husband at age 42 without birth control, having already had 4 kids, and knowing the risk of having a Down Syndrome baby is huge.
Just because she can give a good speech and she's pretty, she shouldn't be seen as a good leader. I hope Biden rips her a new one.

Great job Tsogh! I enjoyed reading it.
Wow. Sometimes democrats can be so ignorant and intolerant.
In your attempt to portray Sarah Palin as not being attuned to women’s interests, you have shown your own limited understanding—or misunderstanding.
Who says Sarah Palin had unprotected sex? And, if she did, who says she didn't want to have a baby at 42, something in this day and age many women do. And, who says that it is irresponsible to have a Down Syndrome Child? Not all of us are “perfect” – at least not in your narrow definition of perfect.
What exactly is wrong with having a Down Syndrome child? Do children with Down Syndrome, or adults with Down syndrome for that matter, mean that little to you?
Our world is made up of all sorts of people, including children and adults with disabilities.
Do you not have the good fortune to know anyone with a disability? Not one friend? Not the relative of one friend? Is your world that limited?
In your own zest to attack the Republicans you have shown little understanding for the world in which we live – quite unfortunate coming from someone who claims to care more about people than Sarah Palin.
I am voting for the Obama-Biden ticket but you didn’t do them or the Democrats any favors with your post, which spurts of intolerance.
To not quite a democrat: After posting my blog I reflected more on what I wrote and I apologize for stating that she is irresponsible for having a baby with special needs. I just feel that she has enough on her plate and puting her country first would keep her from puting her family first and we don't need to agree with this, but if I were her, I would put my family first.
looks like not quite a democrat ripped me a knew one! ha!
