McCain: Women Don’t Have the Right…
To Decide
To Choose
To Trust our own best judgement
To Know what is best for our bodies, our families
To Take responsibility for whether or not we have the means & ability to raise a child in the way he/she deserves
Women don’t have the right. It is that simple.
We do not have the right to follow our hearts.
To use the power of our minds.
To guide the course of our own lives.
We don’t have the right. Maybe we’re not smart enough.
Women do not have the right to think our own thoughts.
To revel in our femininity.
To be glad that we are women.
We don’t deserve to be respected, much less adored & admired for the unique, quirky, exquisite creatures that we are.
We don’t have that right. Perhaps we don’t deserve it.
John McCain’s wife Cindy doesn’t have the Right to help him before an interview, without him calling her a C*NT in public, in front of reporters.
She DOES have the right to smile after being humiliated in public, then defend her humiliator during the campaign to fulfill his lifelong dream of attaining glory and power.
Chelsea Clinton doesn’t have the right to be a normal teenager without John McCain making this ugly joke in front of reporters: “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.”
I guess Chelsea, Janet & Hillary don’t have the right to receive respect or common decency either. (But make sure you lay off Bristol, you sleazy media.)
Polar Bears don’t have the right to survive as a species.
The earth doesn’t have the right to be protected, respected, kept in tact.
(But we have the right to destroy it and then wonder why we live in a state of constant natural disaster)
OUR CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE SAFE!
Anyone who tries to teach them how to protect themselves against inappropriate touching or sexual predators should be publicly mocked and portrayed as a predator himself!!
(Like the “honorable” McCain did to Obama in his latest so-called ad.)
We do not have the Right to natural, renewable energy - not as long as the oil companies can still squeeze & screw us for every last penny we own.
Women do not have the RIGHT to make up their own minds about the election either. We must be manipulated by a token woman, a symbol with a skirt, so we blindly follow the blind…to our own defeat and destruction. Cheering all the way, about the latest crack in the glass ceiling.
Women (and men for that matter) do NOT have the right to criticize, question, or do anything other than worship Sarah Palin. If we wonder about her alleged abuses of power, or her lack of basic foreign policy experience, not to mention her extreme world views…we are just SEXIST!
Women DO have the right to do whatever McCain says. To think what he thinks. To do his bidding at every turn. And to take his abuse with a smile. Like Cindy. And like in the dark ages.
Yup, that’s right.

I’m a white man and here’s what I have to say: McCain-Palin will try to move us back to the dark ages. Women had better be VERY SCARED. I put it on my blog what McCain again reiterated today on The View: he will seek to overturn Roe v Wade. Get ready for back alley abortions.
And forget equal pay for Women - won’t happen.
Women who vote for McCain don’t have enough self-esteem. Sorry ladies, it’s true.

I am a husband and father of a teenage daughter (and two teenage sons). The more I read and witness regarding John McCain the more upset and disgusted I become. No man who is truly a “man” would say the things he’s said, or act in the way he acts. Isn’t this the same “man” who divorced his wife who was dying with cancer to hook up with his “trophy wife” (who’s been used and abused for his political gain)? I guess because that is “old news” it doesn’t reflect on his “character.” Wake Up America!” Our future, and that of our sons and daughters, is at stake. Our leaders should be standing as proud representatives of the free world, to be relied upon for fairness and truth. We have an opportunity to make a change that will really count. Don’t be fooled by McCain and Palen. They represent why so much is going wrong with our governmnt today.

Please everyone - we have to do whatever it takes these next few weeks. PLEASE GO DOOR TO DOOR AND HELP PEOPLE REGISTER TO VOTE. Please help people understand this is just the first right that Mr. McCain’s handlers plan to take away.

I am a husband and a father of two daughters. I am also an atheist. The McCain/Palin ticket in no way supports women or America. If they are elected our constitution and our rights will be further destroyed. The Conservative-Right is trying to turn the clocks back to the dark ages. Don’t be fooled by the “hockey mom”. She is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And since I mentioned wolves, how disgusting to shoot wolves from an airplane. Has our society lost all rational and logical thought? WAKE UP!

The Watcher……..I hope you don’t mind in the interest of truth ( our best weapon…..)
You have confused McCaine with Newt Gaingridge who left his wife while she was dying of cancer.
Worst still the first Mrs. McCain, Carol who stood by him while he was a POW, is still living……………..she was disfigured and rendered less than perfect, left with medical problems, by a car crash. WHen he came home from his POW experience, he had an affair with CIndy and then divorced her. ( He got the marriage lisense before the divorse was final! You don’t hear too much from her, because he still pays her medical bills. They had 2 sons together ( I think, or at least one)

McCain doesn’t know what it is to really respect a woman.

He is a traitor. He betrayed his wife. He betrayed his own prior political beliefs, and he betrayed this country by picking a VP who is not qualified to lead when he gets Alzheimers, which is seemingly, not far off. (That is not a joke, I am actually serious. My father is a doctor & a republican and he said so.)

It is so obvious that he hates women. What kind of man would leave his wife, who stuck by him during a war, as soon as she has a car accident and becomes injured? He traded her in for a heiress-trophy wife.
How can we call him a HERO??
He is NOT.

Reading the many comments I can only conclude that society is in desperate need to implement the Females as Property Movement ™.
There are many aspects to the Movement, too many to delve into here, but, for the good of society, the USA and for female and male happiness in general we must allow the dainty gals the opportunity to disengage from the male aspect of adult society and pursue their natural talents and abilities within the “female sphere” of life.
Yes… some females possess talents and abilities that allow them full access to adult society and should be allowed to do so.
However, the evidence is strong, that a large percentage of females lack the needed abilities to function in the male aspect of adult society and are happier when relegated to areas where their abilities are best suited.
A great disservice has been committed against femaleness and femininity by parts of society and culture convincing so many females that they are capable of being male-like and that happiness is to be found in defying the natural order of a two-gendered species.

I have lost McCain respect a long time ago and I am very angry at the way he has been running his campaign. The man cannot go any lower than he has. In the 2000 campaign he was still a decent man. Bush made ugly accusations about him. He called his wife a drug addict (which despite being a rude claim, seems to be true) and he said that he fathered a black child out of wedlock which was a lie. Guess what? the same people that made these ads against McCain are now working for him. If you read about McCain, this man has a long memory for anyone that crosses him whether it is real or perceived, but in this case he chose to forget because he is blind with greed and ambition he simply wants to be president at ALL COSTS and there is no level so low that he wont go to get it. He wants to go with a bang. It is a matter of pride he has said so himself in his book. He keeps telling the same lies again and again even when it has been refuted. It is so sad sometimes I want to feel sorry for him. But there is too much riding on this. We need to help elect Obama any way we can. If you can please go to his website and donate as little as five dollars or whatever you can. He needs all the help he can get to counter the smear campaign. Or at the very least buy some cool stuff at the store on the site. Either way it helps.

McCain does not represent me nor does Palin. These people do not have the best interest of our nation or our children or women in mind. They only have self interest.
They scare me because I know that they represent the Religious Right (who by the way should really be called the Religious Wrong!) and will further erode the separation of church and state. Freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion.
They scare me because I know that they will also erode what is left of our freedoms and rights that are supposed to be guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States and our Bill of Rights.
These two people just plain scare me. They will destroy this nation and enslave its people. The hypocrisy is frighteningly blatant.

Incredible comment I found on a Dallas blog (link at end of quote)

She may be a woman, but what how can this be justified?

Critics: Under Palin, Wasilla charged rape victims for exam
…
Eight years ago, complaints about charging rape victims for medical exams in Wasilla prompted the Alaska Legislature to pass a bill — signed into law by Knowles — that banned the practice statewide.
“There was one town in Alaska that was charging victims for this, and that was Wasilla,” Knowles said

Here is another great web site about Sarah Palin that is worth looking at.. We can’t look at these polls and all the media telling us that all women are voting for Palin. It just isn’t true. This tells me it isn’t. If these women can get 100,00 responses in just a week how many more are out there? We have to stay after it and keep up the work we have started. Call, volunteer, talk, whatever it takes to get Obama/Biden elected. We cannot allow McCain?Palin to be elected. Thanks.

Ah, now I get it. Censorship. The autocratic over the communarius, shout ‘em down, don’t give them a voice. Do not allow opinion / views that differ from what has been mandated as THE WORD.
To the gulag with the proletariat.
And here I thought you were better than that, silly me.

Dinkerwald, I’ve been reading your caustic remarks for months now and you are an asshole. I’m sorry you are obviously an unhappy person who needs to vent, but your information and “facts” are so far off, you are actually scary. I suggest you stop talking through your ass.

I’ve been getting sooo many complaints about Dinkerwald, I’m not sure what the protocal is - should I not let his comments through?? Dinkerwald, it’s almost like you live in the twilight zone.

Anna and your assorted minions;
Is this your manner of stifling dissent ?
Banning comments, Personal attacks.
Perhaps banning the free press and shutting down the radio and TV should be considered next.
Complaints about those unpopular books? Lets burn then then find the authors and subject them to re-education camps.
