Women, don't get fooled. Sarah Palin is NO Hillary!

John McCain recently announced his VP pick, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Gov. Palin took office in December 2006 (which IMO really blows that whole "experience" argument..."Pot meet kettle").

He's 72. If he dies, we get a leader with NO national experience. NO diplomatic experience. NO foreign policy experience. NO experience dealing with issues that don't affect her own insular 3-electoral-vote state. We're supposed to believe that she's capable of facing down leaders of terrorist-supporting nations and working diplomatically on the world stage, but Barack Obama and Joe Biden aren't?"

Just before Obama announce his VP pick, I said, "If he is desperate and it looks like he doesn't have a change, he'll pick a woman VP."

McCain has picked woman that has endorsed Obama's energy plan, he is promising to "change" Washington, and he's endorsed a time table for Iraq. I wonder what the McCain/Palin ticket will think up next all by themselves.

So why'd he choose her then? My only guess is he thought he could sway those women voters who were disappointed that Hillary did not secure the nomination. So will it help him?

My guess is no, picking Sarah Palin will NOT help him. Reason why...SHE's NO HILLARY!!

She's everything Hillary is NOT. While she uses the "I've got 5 kids and I'm a Hockey-Mom" as an angle, remember, Hillary said she's not the "baking brownies" type of woman.

She's pro-life...and Hillary respects the woman's right to choose.

She wants religion in schools...Hillary wants to protect the rights of everyone and keep church and state separated.

So why'd they do it? Did they honestly think women were THAT stupid? Did they actually think we wouldn't notice their blatant attempt to choose a woman as a token?

I am even more disgusted with McCain after this lame attempt! I know this woman isn't fooled I certainly hope others aren't.

What is really important...Not just having a women on a ticket...but ensuring our rights AS WOMEN remain protected!!
