The party for women . . . which one again?

The Democrat Party for decades has touted itself as being for women – strong supporters of the Equal Rights Amendment and all sorts of feminist goals including abortion-on-demand and Title IX “rights”.  The evidence, to those of us who care to really notice, shows us that this Dem support for women is only applied where politically advantageous.

A few days ago, Sen. McCain officially chose Gov. Sarah Palin as his VP running-mate.  Even before the announcement was made, the leftist Dem-mouthpieces (including dailyKOS and democratunderground) were attacking Palin with anything they could find or dream up. 

I have no problem with anyone being against anyone else in the political realm and digging up “dirt” on an opponent can be a very effective strategy.  However, most Americans recognize family and gender issues as either partially or entirely “off limits” in a campaign.  Issues of race used to be taboo but B.Hussein.Obama has run much of his very successful campaign on exactly that issue so I guess that’s now an “okay” issue. 

The disturbing part of the leftists’ fury aimed at Palin is that so much of it is based on gender and motherhood.  How can they be “for” women yet attack their opponents for exactly that?

The day following the Palin VP announcement, dailyKOS ‘reported’ that Gov. Palin’s youngest child Trig was not her’s but was birthed by her oldest daughter, Bristol.  Even writers from The Atlantic jumped on the story and demanded Trig’s medical records.  A blatent lie but effective since the story was still circulating in the leftist blogosphere as of yesterday (even though KOS took down the post).  By-the-way, B.Hussein.Obama used to be a dailyKOS “diarist” (that means blogger to we who live in red states) as recently as 2005.

The New York Times has even suggested that Palin should have stayed at home because she has 5 children.  Other commentators have stated that the currently-pregnant Bristol should have had an abortion rather than carry her baby to term (due in January I believe).

Direct attacks against a female politician accusing her of lying about her own pregnancy and children and implying she is an unfit mother because she has an unwed, pregnant teen daughter . . . typical leftist hate of everyone who isn’t a lefty.  Anti-female sexism at its worst – from the party who claims to be for women. 

The Democrat party is one of expediency – anything to assume the power.  If it’s race vs. gender (Barack vs. Hillary) they choose race because 90%+ of black voters will support them.  If it’s a conservative woman vs. anything or anyone, women’s rights be damned.

Why does anyone continue to support these leftists?  And when are we going to have a true debate of the issues without all the race and gender crap?

Another typical week in leftist politics.  Expect more of the same to come.
