		<description>I accidentally inserted some HTML, so to correct my 2nd paragraph above:

The day McCain announced VP, Fox News had headlines that proclaimed, “McCain chooses Woman.” This is extremely disturbing. If he had chosen someone of a race other than Caucasion, would their headline have been, “McCain Chooses  (insert racial slur here)”?

		<description>Well, I think it is simplistic to assume that Hillary supporters will vote for McCain because he chose Governor Palin as VP. As the HC forum states, Palin&#039;s stance on all the issues is the complete opposite of Hillary&#039;s. Personally, I resent the media&#039;s discussion of McCain scooping up disenfranchised Hillary voters with his addition of Palin. It&#039;s as though they feel that women vote based on who wears pretty clothes rather than the issues.

This election so far is not about history in the making for me. It&#039;s about how much history needs to be made in order to end the apparent acceptability of sexism.

		<description>preach it, sistah, and amen.

if only it were that simple to implement. seems like there&#039;s a dearth of common sense and courtesy in washington (present company excluded, of course) because this:

“To me and to Hillary as she said herself my right to choose, equality of all people to marry who they want, the environment, the economy, putting an end to the last eight years of crony-ism and self-centered leaders, is a LOT more important than having or not having a vagina. Cheers!”

should be the bedrock, whether you have a vagina OR a penis.

amen, amen.
