Wake Up Little Suzi Wake Up!

You know, in 1964 I use to wear my hair like that. They called it a coiffure -- which meant it was a do -- a real hairdo.

This gal of a governor -- uses enough hair spray to melt all of the glaciers in Alaska -- okay -- that's below the belt stuff -- so now lets ponder her two legged stance on a woman's right to choose -- she's against your choices for freedom of religion, she hates librarians and books that explore human sexuality and she is trying ban them maybe even burn them.

If you got knocked up or someone's kid got pregnant in a date rape -- she would be the first to congratulate you and knit you a pair of mother of pearl booties.

She believes in abstinence yet her own daughter broke a Palin house rule -- naughty thing!

What really hurts -- deep down inside the gut of every progressive woman, every feminist who marched without a bra and defended the rights of women of all colors and all kinds, even some us stereotypical "Breck Shampoo" girls is that Sarah is like a song from the 60s -- a real do wopper whose once yellow teeth were a sign of the times -- but -- the times they are changin -- and ladies -- we're going backwards not forwards, were winding down, becoming a dying breed, even endangered if she gets elected as our VP.

No! I don't want to wear a pill box hat and tell my God daughter that she can't have sex until she's married.

No! I don't want a woman, Sarah Palin, to reach the second highest powerful position in United States government and feel like my country has lost it.

No! I don't want anymore text messages from right wing conspirator's who think that they can Sprint ahead through my phone.

Yes! I want change and the opportunity to look a Republican in the eye and say these words, "Your party is over and it's time for you to change."

Yes! I think Sarah Palin makes a great soccer mom, bakes great cookies, gives good vibes inside her beltway -- but this monster of a woman who shoots wolves from airplanes, plays Monopoly with the good old boys -- pushes petroleum rebates through the pipeline, across caribou lines, believes in energy conservation and cares more about her acrylic nails than she does the environment -- this woman, who the hell is she anyway? Nobody knows -- that's for sure!

If you think Washington insiders have all the scoop as to why McCain picked her -- guess again -- and if you think emails like yours and mine are going to stop what has become an immovable feast -- an immeasurable opportunity against all odds -- you had better wake-up little Susie -- because this 60s gal, is going to stay up all night with hair in curlers, sharpening the points on those lethal and toxic plastic nails knowing that America is ready-- even getting hot at the thought of the "Girl In Red," becoming our next vice president or maybe even president.

Canada anyone? They say that British Columbia has more wolves than Alaska.

Stand UP for your right to choose Obama/Biden. Treat every young person you see to a free cup of coffee and give them a few extra bucks to treat the young woman standing behind them by letting her know that she just lost all of her rights as a woman and she would be better off living in Ethiopia.

Well done Nancy! I have shared your blog with a number of people.

There is a growing debate on a particular fansite regarding one of your statements in this article..."No, I don't want a woman, Sarah Palin, to reach the second highest powerful position in the United States government and feel like my country has lost it." Some have interpreted this sentence as an indication that you do not want a woman preident or vice president. Considering your support for Hillary Clinton, I personally find this to be highly unlikely. Perhaps you could clarify.

Another scare tactic i'm a women and democrate but using the right to choice is something, here we go again voting on a social issue great!!! Let's look at the big picture republicans have been in control of office for president what 14yrs or so also senate for what soemthing like 8-10yrs well why hasn't the right to choice change in that time??? why haven't the republicans change this?? i vote on alot of issues not just one, don't make this about social issues make it about what is good for America to regain in the economy, security and so on.I'm a gay person who is not represented by any group they will never come around so i've learned in my life if i ever what to vote again i have to think about bigger issues one's that will make America great again, not just to one special group.

No, just the academic feminist is now endangered. But then.....they all supported the sexism of the primaries, so their credentials as "feminists" are pretty tacky right now.

I think the rest of the world just moved on to let them feed the cats.

[YankeeCanuck]

Read the post about mockery posing as discourse.
You have a disagreement with "academic feminists"-- whatever that means. Perhaps there is some common ground. But you'll never know since your last remark was not just nasty, but sexist.

[Senzasord]

What has been missing from the characterization of the choice of Sarah Palin as Republican VP candidate is the concept of Tokenism. It is Tokenism as eggregiously practiced McCain and his handlers that outrages thoughtful individuals.

I suspect that feminists who fought so hard are especially indignant over the fact that Sarah Palin herself doesn't seem to recognize that she is the victim of tokenism and that she is being offered up as window dressing.

I assert that Tokenism is an extreme form of disrepect, and in this case it is ultra sexism.

[rwe]

basically you and every other "feminist " is not out for the advancement of women only the adavancement of women with liberal agendas....This is the same as the Liberal AA community in its racist agenda against Clarence Thomas.

[penpal]

You're right! Let's give Sarah Palin a chance to replace Clarence Thomas-- will that make you happy?
That's as liberal as it gets!

[jeanrenoir]

Real feminists should besiege Hillary and demand that she take on Palin directly, and really BLAST her as the worst enemy feminism has ever faced in American electoral politics. Hillary doesn't want to tangle with Palin, because Hillary doesn't want to anger her Wal-Mart Mom base. But Hillary had better wake up and realize that Palin is already the most popular woman in America among the white female masses. If she's not stopped NOW, she will mop the floor with Hillary in '12, easily pointing out at her Wal-Mart rallies, George Wallace-fashion, that Hillary is a total phony, a Wellesley/Yale limousine liberal, and RADICAL feminist for abortions, who only pretended to be Annie Oakley on TV to con working-class white women, while Palin is the real Annie Oakley and their real sister.

[penpal]

She's real all right! Her guns are already loaded! And for all those OTHER than liberal phonies let them shop at TARGET and get some practice learning how to shoot.

[claylandg]

This is Obama fight!!! If you want Hillary to fix it than put her in as the nomine not Obama. now everyone wahts her to put her life on the line when a few short months again they were bashing her, obama, media etc now all of a sudden they need her I saw obama either sinks or swims Man up!!

[mikey683]

I see, so only women who agree with you on every issue should be allowed to get ahead? Feminism used to include all women. How sad.

[TexasDem0]

How did you extrapolate that from the article?

[Rockwell]

The reverse of your logic is that because Palin has a vagina Nancy must support her. She isn't allowed to have an opinion about Palin's fitness for office. Classic.

[penpal]

Why don't you join us? Are you afraid to loose? What's really sad is that I voted for Hillary Clinton? She was my choice and without Hillary we wouldn't be having this conversation. Wrong choice wrong woman--Palin pales by comparison.

[Terriac]

Well said.
