Sep 12, 2008 11:47

This article, The Working Mom's Case against Sarah Pallin, brings up a very important point that all women should consider. Didn't we all decide that "supermom" was out of touch with the day-to-day struggle of real life working women ( Read more... )

I can has move to TARDIS? *sniggle*

I keep telling myself they're polling slightly more republicans than democrats. Regardless of what they say they poll.

They should poll every friggin person in the deciding states. That'll tell us who's really in the lead. :D

I think it's official. I'm genuinely scared by this election. I almost texted you last night during Nightline, but then checked the time and figured you'd be asleep. I wanted to scream and cry all at once.

If anyone wants a historiagraphy on abortion and contraception before Roe v Wade, I recommend Contraception and Abortion in Nineteenth-Century America by Janet Farrell Brodie. I took an intro to women's history course from her. She's v good.

Just, yes. That is all exactly what has been swimming around in my head for the past few weeks and you've articulated it for me. The abortion thing scares me. I mean, a lot about those two getting into office scares me, but that? I shudder to think. I haven't been able to decide which are my deep-down feelings: that McCain doesn't have a chance in hell of getting elected or that he really does because as you said, people are buying into this BS again - I know people personally who I know will be voting for them (because depending on the day and my mood, I think both). One of those is my gut and one is my sense - problem is, which is which?

We hates her, precious.

Meloves the yookay.

Now if only I could convince myself that meant all this stuff didn't matter to the rest of the world.

Yeesh... When I saw the interview on what was it, ABC? and she was asked, "McCain supports legal abortion for cases of rape and incest, what about you?" ...and I listened as she said she doesn't, well... dang. I so wish McCain had just chosen not to play the affirmative action card (what he *thought* was that card, anyway) and just given us someone else... hmmm. Anyone else... well, almost.

Can we just take two McCains and call it even? *sigh*
