GOP Women: Hypocrisy In Action

The Immoral Minority ran a swellegant piece about Sarah "I can't miss a chance to grab a headline" Palin trying to equate Obama's call to Sandra Fluke with failing to support the troops.  Yeah, I know.  But please give him a second and read the full article here.  It's right on target.

There is one thing he mentioned that I want to bring up and expand on just a bit.  Palin has three daughters.  Count them, three young women who will enter this world and be treated like second class citizens if Palin's boys have their way.  What kind of parent can look at their children and think to themselves that they don't need medical rights to their body, that they should be good little women and be submissive to their husbands and not ask too many questions?  What kind of politician says she supports freedom and then lets a young woman be thrown to some mighty big wolves for trying to speak to her government?

Sarah "the antichrist wears cool glasses" Palin, that's who.

But she isn't the only one.  Michele "I can't believe they still remember who I am" Bachmann is hiding from the same questions I want answered.  Remember when the band played Lyin' Ass Bitch and she had a conniption?  Remember how she milked that and talked about the disrespect?  She called that sexist, and accused CNN of a double standard, but won't speak out against the actions of her own buddies.  She is selling all women out for her gain, and while this isn't the first time we've pointed that out, it's rare we get such a clear example.  Call her a liar, and hell hath no fury.  Call someone else something even worse and with even less cause... well, boys will be boys, right?  Surely he didn't mean it, because words like slut are so ambiguous.

These women are a disgrace to their gender.  They have sold out women for political gain.  They don't care that people are going hungry and some folks, including married couples, have decided that now may not be a good time to bring more children into the picture.  With health care, safety net programs, public school meltdowns and soaring food costs, who can blame them?  The fact is, it's responsible to hold off on kids you can't afford.  Their attempt to convert birth control into a single slutty woman's problem is about as ass backwards as it gets, and they know it.

But the bottom line is it isn't the government 's place to dictate values to the people.  America was built on choice and freedom, not the cowards who hide behind lame apologies and take shots at a law student who speaks the truth.  We deserve better, and if the GOP insists on screwing up, we will have better.

Here's hoping for a solid round of changes.
