Just some things to think about.....

My, My, My Do the Tables Turn

So, Gov. Palin is qualified to handle national security issues? Gov. Palin believes the war is God's plan? Gov. Palin believes that women can't just complain, they have just work harder, smarter, and that Sen. Clinton was whining? Gov. Palin feels she was unfairly treated? All of these were questions that the media has posed this past week, but have not been able to ask because the McCain campaign has not made their VP candidate available for interviews. What is up with that? How can potentially the 2nd most powerful person in the free world not conduct one interview? So, we can't ask the most qualified person McCain could have chosen to be VP, so his campaign says, we can't ask her one question? Wow, the media feels slighted and screwed at the same time. They can't ask or discuss her personal family choices such as agreeing to run for president while having 5 children, one with special needs and a grandchild on the way, and they can't even ask her about her ideas and beliefs on pertinent issues that face this country. But you know what, the media wants the interview but the country needs the answers. I hope that the media continue to press the McCain campaign to let them talk to her. But then the McCain campaigns says she was thoroughly vetted, when we all know that is what they are doing now. The McCain camp needs to find out more about her before the media does.

He needs to be vetted. We don't really know him. We need to know what he stands for. These were the constant statements made against Sen. Obama and now 19 months later, I can say we know quite a lot a bout him. We know his family, his personal problems of the past, church beliefs, friends past and present and anything else you want to find out. But now when the tables turn we don't need to know much about Palin. Interesting.

The media has been the 3rd candidate in this election season for so long that sometimes it is interesting that the news of the day is sometimes about the media's role in the election. They have constantaly struggled to find their way and once again they are struggling. First Obama was getting easy press, which for the life of me I can't understand, but I guess for the McCain camp, bad press is better than no press at all. I really don't think constant clips and discussions about Rev. Wright, forced connections with Tony Rezko, bittergate, and plagiraism gate are good press, but maybe that is just me. So now when the tables turn and the press is seeking for anything they can learn about Sarah Palin and then it is reported, now there is a gender bias. Palin, if you are going to join with the big boys, please tell the big boys to shut up and that you can stand up for yourself, that is if you can. I think everytime women holler sexism, but it is the man that complains about it, we are retreating because we are not fighting our battles ourselves. Palin, please speak! Stand up for yourself! If you have something to say and more importantly something to contribute, please do it. I think you are losing the woman's vote that your camp claims they were not aiming for, I believe you are losing them daily.
