A letter to Mr. McCain
08.29.2008 06:10 PM
Dear Mr. McCain,
Please stop trying to get attention. Inviting a woman to join your little stag party is hardly impressive considering the way you've treated your wife--in public, no less. We already know you have no respect for women. So why bluff at it this late in the game? Your views on women's rights parallel those of rulers in the Middle East!
Although I was a huge fan of Hillary and her pro-women, pro-gay agenda, I will nonetheless continue to support the Democratic party and vote for Obama. Why? Because I would like to think that elections are about more than the color of someone's skin or whether or not their giggle bits are tucked inside or swaying in the breeze. And while Obama's views on gay and women's rights may not be as strong as I would like them to be, they are certainly far more to my liking than yours.
So you can take your self-proclaimed hockey mom and scoot, because the decent women of America can see right through this, and we are insulted that you think us so blind and stupid.
If you want to bring girly stuff into the ring and appeal to the "miffed female voters," then expect the harsh judgment that comes from appealing to such facile ends. Expect the bitch claws to come out as Palin is torn limb from limb by a female and male audience scrutinizing her every move, just like Hillary.
I'll gladly be the first to criticize her: Palin looks like a painted fool the likes of Condoleezza Rice. Governing a country is about dignity, not spending two hours in front of a mirror applying various shades of "sandy taupe". At least Hillary never went out of her way to look like a tarted up prom queen. That woman had sincerity and a level head. Yours is, well, a hockey MILF with a vagina five babies wide. You think I want to vote for that? Hell no!
Perhaps I have gone too far, but get used to it. That is but a sample of the lashings yet to come from a public eager for gossip and hungry for snark. Has she got the strength to handle living in a fish bowl? Hillary never gave up. She hung on to the end and fought, even when the media and voters were being utter beasts, and when it was over, she honorably gave Obama her full support for the good of the party! Who is this woman you've picked out of nowhere? What is she? She is just a red politician who knows little of the world she aspires to control, like Bush, like Cheney, like the rest of your lot, to your own kind be damned.
For future reference, please do not offend the very delicacy of my nature by stooping to such low tactics again. You will not be getting my vote, nor an ounce of my respect. You make yourself look like more and more of an old fool by engaging in these shennigans.
And shame on anyone who falls for this ploy. Just because she is a woman does not make her my or any other woman's friend.
Good day,
Rachel Nabors
