So NOW wants to throw their support behind Obama to show what they believe is a champion for women. Because of course, Palin does not. Again, isn’t Obama running against McCain. But what would you expect from an organization that is completely running their position based on abortion rights. Abortion Rights DOES NOT EQUAL Women’s Rights.
Here is what I think is the real reason why NOW backed Obama. They felt they needed to show everyone that they truly were looking at the candidates and basing their decision on who best modeled their liberal platform. They obviously couldn’t pick a woman because that would just be stupid? Who else is for women other than ANOTHER WOMAN! Take a look at this statement made by Kim Gandy on August 29, 2008:
Finally, as the chair of NOW’s Political Action Committee, I am frequently asked whether NOW supports women candidates just because they are women. This gives me an opportunity to once again answer that question with an emphatic ‘No.’ We recognize the importance of having women’s rights supporters at every level but, like Sarah Palin, not every woman supports women’s rights.
On September 16th, NOW announced their support of Obama. Let’s take a look at the last sentence…Sarah Palin does not support women’s rights? Are you kidding me? I think Kim Gandy took Obama’s side to try to make a point – not to promote women’s rights. In effort to try to make her life easier and stop answering the question – she backed Obama. Who else would know what women go through, dream of, want, and hope for? Obviously not a man!
This is what Kim Gandy just told every woman in the world.
Please put the fate of your issues in a man – because a man is the most objective individual in this race and understands first hand the struggles a woman goes through. He understands the sacrifices women make to work, have families, and provide an education for their children. A man understands your needs and can see that when you are beat down to your bones, he knows what you need most.
Thanks Kim for believing in women…but no thanks. No way Obama! How about that NOW!….Now, here’s the real deal about Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin is the very heartbeat of what women can and will do in this country. With hard work and perseverance, Palin shows us that we can wear a skirt and still break through the barriers. I’m so tired of the women preaching that we have to wear the “man suit” and dress down our looks – our femininity – to be able to equal the playing field. She resonates the very need of every woman to support her children and make a difference in the very society she lives in. She’s tough, even in a skirt, and I can’t wait till she “decimates” the opponents.
So now that we have established what Palin represents to me. Let’s take on the celebrities. So far on my list of celebrities to create pin–the– tail-on-the-donkey games: Chase, Lohag, Andersuck, Streis-who, Gratefully dead, Spielmeagoodmovieforonce, Matt Demon and the list goes on…..
To bad they can’t stick to what they know. Acting in some cases and very bad acting in others.
