[Rhodes22-list] Politics - Sexism

[Bill Effros]

Slim,

I'm surprised at the sexist comments.

What's going on here?

Obama has accomplished nothing and gone along with corrupt Cook County 
Machine politics for his entire career.  He has only won rigged 
elections, and stood up to nobody.  He started running for President 2 
years after becoming a US Senator, and has taken all sides on every 
position.  He is young, charismatic, attractive, inexperienced..."A 
Candidate Who Represents Change"...oh! and did I mention...he's a man.

So along comes this woman who fought the good ol' boy network in her own 
party and beat them.  She taxed oil companies.  Stood up to venerated 
party leaders.  Fought corruption and wasteful spending.  She talks the 
talk and walks the walk.  She opposes abortion and had a Down Syndrome 
child.  She supports the military and one of her children is in Iraq.  
She is young, charismatic, attractive, inexperienced..."A Candidate Who 
Represents Change".  She was Governor for 2 years before running for the 
office of Vice President.

But the "don't smear our boy" campaign immediately put out email all 
over the internet smearing her as "poofy".

The good ol' boys running Obama's campaign have a long history of 
smearing women.  They smeared Hillary.  They smeared Geraldine Ferraro.  
Now they are smearing Palin.

I'm really surprised you passed this smear along.  I know you better.
