clipper's remarks: I’ll try to find you some and I’ll bring em to ya

Do we really need another George Bush in the White house, even if this time, it's second in command?

I never vote straight Dem or Rep.... I vote the competency of the leader, and my friends, I think every time I try to see both sides objectively, one side, keeps playing lowball games which lets down the American people who deserve better.

Choosing a woman who is UNQUALIFIED WOMAN demeans competent REPUBLICAN WOMEN LEADERS as well as Women voters.

Katherin Sibelius (sp) would have been a great choice as a competent, intelligent woman, for example. Don't you think McCain insults his Republican party by choosing someone less than the absolute best for his "beloved" country?

This is shameful to ALL AMERICANS no matter what side of the fence you sit on.... they are hiding Palin from the media for a good reason.

Sad.

News Flash John McCain.... Women are not interchangeable...

clipper's remarks: One size fits all.... I hope women will not vote with anger and throw their important vote away (and our country) in anger.

Too much is at stake, our health, education, and future competitiveness in a Global Economy, not to mention the endless wars that we have contributed to in our apathy and foolishness.

Women do not consider women interchangeable

Hillary and Sarah are about as far apart as two candidates could be. Hillary is pro-choice, pro-gun control and pro-gay. Sarah is pro-life, pro-gun and anti-gay.

Hillary is reminding me to vote for the Democrats, because their issues and positions are my issues and positions. Tip O'Neill, late Speaker of the House, always said that people liked to be asked for their vote. That should be Hillary's job. Ask for our vote, and we will give it to you. Or perhaps I should say, your party.

Sarah Palin's Punch lines full of hot air and lies

clipper's remarks: Quote:
"That qualifies her to have her hand on the tiller of American foreign policy in the event that, God forbid, something happens to John McCain? To suggest that is frightening. Really – what if something happens to John McCain. What relevant experience does Sarah Palin have, to be able to sit across the conference table, with negotiators, with the prime ministers and presidents of this world?" the congresswoman said. "As the McCain campaign constantly reminds us, this is a dangerous world."

Democrats: Sarah Palin delivers punch lines, little else

MINNEAPOLIS – Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's dazzling smile and rhetorical stiletto may have thrilled the Republican National Convention last night. But Democrats panned her performance Thursday, saying the main things she proved is that she can deliver a good speech, she can parrot Bush-McCain attack lines and she isn't ready to be vice president.

"She mastered the words written by the Bush speech writers and delivered them well," said Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, adding that the speech was a string of partisan attacks "that we've heard before… Unfortunately, that's what locks D.C. into the paralysis that's been there for years."

"More of the Same"

"John McCain bowed to the right wing of his party in this really misguided, bad judgment choice

"American women… are more interested in champions for causes that women think are important, starting with the war in Iraq," Ms. Sebelius said.

No, Senator McCain, Democratic Women Are Not Stupid

So if anyone out there is still convinced that Sarah Palin is a Fantastic, Gutsy, Bold, Mavericky choice that will Appeal to Women and Disaffected Clinton Voters...

...well, the polling would beg to differ.

It's evident by now that John McCain, doubtless spooked by the remarkable show of unity at the Democratic convention, has realized that he isn't going to get millions of disaffected Clinton supporters to flock to his candidacy in droves. It is equally clear that he was counting on those voters to win the election, as his campaign aides attest:

As one McCain aide put it: "We either get Hillary's voters and we win, or we don't. It's not a mystery." Said another: "This campaign is all about the middle."

Comparing herself to Hillary Clinton? How dare she. Not that anyone should be shocked; it's the only winning move for the McCain campaign.

Does John McCain think Women are that stupid?

clipper's remarks: Do women care more about having a token example on any ticket over finding a woman who won't support a women's right to choose?

Someone who has limited experience?

Blacks won't vote for Obama just because he is black, and women won't vote for women just because of token gender.

I hope we are all SMART enough to look at the issues beyond race or gender.

A group of women in Saudi Arabia is for the first time to lobby the kingdom's government for the right to drive cars.

conservatives argue if women are allowed to drive, they will be able to mix freely with men.

This is a right that has been delayed for too long

Fawzia al-Oyouni

After strong criticism from the Saudi religious authorities, the women were jailed for one day, their passports confiscated and many lost their jobs.

The current driving ban applies to all women in Saudi Arabia, whatever their nationality.

Beefeater makes history at Tower

The first female Beefeater has made history by officially going on duty at the Tower of London.

Moira Cameron, 42, from Argyll, beat five men to the £20,000-a-year job as Yeoman Warder.

The Tower's Yeoman Warders date back to 1485 and their nickname Beefeaters is thought to derive from the daily ration of meat they received.

Hatred towards Women Bloggers...

clipper's remarks: When I read this in the BBC, I thought it was just sensational journalism. I followed the link trails and went to web sites in question. Horrifying. Appalling. I remember visiting Ms Sierra's blog years ago when I started out in web design. This woman is a long time blogger advocating creativity and technology in a well written blog. I would read her stuff, zeldmans stuff among others.

Why she should be threatened in an extremely frightening manner is beyond me.

http://headrush.typepad.com/

While anonymity gives some freedom of expression and freedom of the constraints of identity for surfers and bloggers alike, it by no means should allow people to be able to make this extreme level of threat to another human being regardless of gender.
Issues with free speech and terrorism do not necessarily mean Iraq and the war.

Irrational hatred takes on so many insidious forms...

Blog death threats spark debate

Ms Sierra described on her blog how she had been subject to a campaign of threats, including a post that featured a picture of her next to a noose.

One of the issues raised is the question of how women bloggers are treated online.

Ms Sierra, author of popular blog Creating Passionate Users, began receiving death threats four weeks ago.

While blogging feuds are common, she believes the campaign against her is more likely to be because she is a woman in the male-dominated technology world.

The Women’s War

No matter how you look at it, Iraq is a chaotic war in which an unprecedented number of women have been exposed to high levels of stress. So far, more than 160,000 female soldiers have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, as compared with the 7,500 who served in Vietnam and the 41,000 who were dispatched to the gulf war in the early '90s. Today one of every 10 U.S. soldiers in Iraq is female.

Despite the fact that women are generally limited to combat-support roles in the war, they are arguably witnessing a historic amount of violence. With its baffling sand swirl of roadside bombs and blind ambushes, its civilians who look like insurgents and insurgents who look like civilians, the Iraq war has virtually eliminated the distinction between combat units and support units in the military

''Frankly one of the most dangerous things you can do in Iraq is drive a truck, and that's considered a combat-support role,'' says Matthew Friedman, executive director of the National Center for PTSD,
