Is Carly Fiorina playing her sexist card?

.

1. Expose every lie from the Flippy/Chippy/Jebus campaign and the GOP, no matter how trivial.
2. Do everything within our means to get more people to vote. The bigger the turnout? The harder it is to defraud the results. And first time voters, plus those who only vote when they are angry, are polling VERY strongly (more than 2 to 1 in my state) in Obama’s favor.

And, if you are a Believer, I don’t see how prayers would hurt.

Y’know… sometimes I get the feeling that the McSame campaign knows they’ve got it in the bag, what with their plans for Diebolding the election and all, so they’re just fu(king with the country.

So the question is are we going to LET them do it again or are we going to take our country back? We need to start taking action but what?

Must have been the reference to those ‘idiots…’

And, I should make it clear here: I wasn’t speaking for Apple when I offered that observation. Carly Fiorina was speaking, however, for Senator McCain when she let loose her thoughts. With friends like Carly…

Changing the rules mid-stream. Weird.

The 500,000-strong women’s movement, which “very, very rarely endorses in a general election”, broke with its tradition of neutrality.

Marie, this is wonderful news. Thanks so much for posting this development.

Ok, I must have missed something, who is Carly?

Ever since I heard McCain say this at the Presidential Forum last week, my first thought was, “Ah, that’s what pissed you off and made you go negative to the extent you did.” I honestly believe it’s because Obama had the “nerve” to say no to McCain and that seriously pissed him off.

I think so too. Although I believe that Obama would do fine in that situation I think Obama and mccain both know that mccain will not fare well in a real debate…..pissed the old coot off because he really has no choice.

mccain will sink after the debates. What could he possibly say? Will he repeat his flip flops at a debate?

The term “sexist” (like “racist”) should be reserved for when it’s truly deserved. Otherwise the term gets cheapened and becomes meaningless.

And that is exactly why they use them the way they do.

L O S E R S !!!!!!

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Whenever an interviewer asks McCain why their campaign is being so negative, McCain simply points out that, “if Obama had accepted his invitation for Town Hall meetings…”
Why doesn’t ONE interviewer then ask him what the hell that has to do with anything and are you insinuating that this is somehow Obama’s fault that your campaign has become on of the lyingest, nastiest in recent history? I mean, if you expect to run the Country why can’t you at least take charge of your own campaign?
It seems that John McCain has taken a back seat approach to his campaign and turned the reins over to his lobbyist and neocon handlers. Should we actually believe that he would suddenly take over the reins after the election?

Give up. These attacks aren’t working.

Um…actually, they are. Even the MSM is realizing that Palin is nothing more than a cardboard cutout, and they aren’t afraid to show that she’ll fall over in even a slight wind.

Second, why is the party who can’t do the job arrogantly pushing the job requirements to serve in government?

Hey Dennis, where is Palin’s knowledge of national issues?

I think that the NOW recognizes that, should Ms. Palin get anywhere near a national office, she would be likely to undo every gain American Women have made in the last half century or so.

Plus it’s insulting, to any thinking person, that a political party would advance such a fundamentally flawed candidate. Heck! If I were a woman I would be sorely tempted to track her down and give her a thrashing.

I’m surprised that Fiorina, a woman who has managed to make it to the top of a major corporation in a man’s world, is so clueless as to what constitutes sexism.

Here’s an easy way to tell if something is sexist or not — imagine the object of the allegedly sexist remark is of the opposite gender. Would the remark be as appropriate? If not, it’s sexist.

Take, for example, accusations that Palin is irresponsible because she is seeking this high office when she has five children, one of them with special needs. If she was a man, it’s doubtful that anyone would suggest he shouldn’t run for office if he had children at home, special needs or not. Therefore, this type of criticism is indeed sexist.

On the other hand, if McCain had chosen a man as his running mate — one who had belonged to the PTA, had a child who played hockey, served as a city council member and mayor of a small town, and was only 20 months into his first term as governor, you can bet he would be the target of some rather pointed questions about his qualifications. Holding Palin to the same standard as a man in her position is NOT sexist. However, giving her a pass simply because she’s a woman IS.

Oh, and if McCain’s veep pick was a man with the same amount of vacuousness, he would still have been skewered by SNL. That isn’t sexist.

The term “sexist” (like “racist”) should be reserved for when it’s truly deserved. Otherwise the term gets cheapened and becomes meaningless.
