McCain Doesn't Get It: Women are NOT that stupid [Barbra Streisand Alert!]
Barbra Streisand.com ^ | 8/30/08 | Barbra Streisand

Maybe he was sick of the lack of media attention…maybe he had enough of the late night talk show hosts poking fun at his age…maybe he realized that belonging to a party that has been associated with rich, white men was not going to connect with voters in this historical election year. Or maybe he was just ready to take back some of the spotlight that has shined so brightly on Barack Obama and the Democrats since the beginning of the Democratic convention. Desperation can motivate people to make some pretty cynical and hypocritical decisions. Whatever the reason, John McCain’s Hail Mary-- in the form of Vice Presidential pick Governor Sarah Palin--sent a very clear message to America about how he views female voters. Women, he thinks, will vote another woman into office regardless of the candidate's values, experience and political positions.

No one can dispute that this decision was micro-targeted to the small percentage of Independent and Democratic women residing in the Rocky Mountain West, who strongly supported Hillary Clinton in the primary and still find themselves undecided as we move into the general election. Unfortunately, what John McCain failed to realize is that after eight long and destructive years of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and their cronies, American voters will not fall prey to political ploys once again.

How many women have said they supported Hillary because 'it's time to finally put a woman in the White House'?

This coming from the Democrat party whose top members are riddled with poverty.

Streisand should know that more people adhere to traditional values than liberal values

She doesn't know that because she doesn't ever meet them. She knows only her small liberal group. It would totally shock her to meet and talk to the women at a Christian Women's conference.

This from the person who thought Saddam was the leader of Iran. Babs is simply too stupid.

Certainly not as stupid as you, Babs. You are judging Sarah Palin simply on her gender, without even looking into whether or not she is qualified. But you are right, women are NOT stupid and when they learn Sarah’s story, they will support her on the merits.

I see Baba got the DNC talking points, “desperation”,
“hail mary” etc.

Amazing how they all seem to speak the same words is it not?

I didn’t read it all but I noticed she wrapped it up with about 20 exclamation points so it must have been pretty good.

What exactly did Bush, Cheney and his “cronies” destroy?

Saddam Hussein’s regime of terror

The Taliban

Al Qaeda

I’m OK with that! Don’t blame conservatives for people with insufficient mathematical literacy to understand that an adjustable-rate mortgage might bust their budgets. Babs, you’re rich-what are YOU doing to help?

How’d you like to wake up every morning and see THAT staring back at you?

I'd walk... no I'd RUN... all the way back to Amityville.
