Palin's speech

So this is the first time ever the Republicans decided to nominate a woman as any part of their presidential ticket. I think it was a horrible choice to choose an inexperienced woman for that historic party moment. I am positive there were more qualified females for this job!!! Now the reason for this particular blog is about her speech at the RNC (Wednesday, September 4, 2008 in case you missed it).

1)(Prior to Paling) I knew the republicans were going to be totally vicious but Rudy was rediculous. Apparently community organizing is not a good thing????
2) (Palin) She has an amazing family, totally beautiful family and I think that should be acknowledged. Secondly, she's just as vicious as any other Republican. Again, I'm totally pissed off that they, the Republicans, consistently try to portray the Democrats as unpatriotic and anti-religion and immoral. They continued this in her speech tonight.
3) I think it's horrible to use your family for politics. Family, especially children, should not be used for advantages in politics. When she stated that she will be an advocate for families with disabled children, is it fair to assume you can ONLY relate to such families if you, yourself, has a child with a disability? Is she saying that the Democrats don't care? and that we were never there for such families? That is a rediculous notion and I hope to GOD (because yes, even though I am a Democrat, I also believe in God-I know this is hard to believe for some) that she did NOT mean it this way; however, with some Republicans, one can never be sure.
4) She went on a total attack on Barack Obama and thats expected. No one thought that the Republicans won't do such a normal thing-I mean they're making their case for their candidate and it IS politics. BUT she was wrong when she spoke about terrorists and "reading their rights" to them. Now, one can argue they did the act and we don't need to read them their rights-sure! However, some of these people in Cuba did NOTHING and they don't know why they're being kept. Some deserve it, some are actual terrorists; however, some just have the wrong name or were in the wrong place at the wrong time. It also makes me laugh that they're in Cuba and we have an EMBARGO on Cuba. Secondly, we as Americans stress human rights and here we are, in some prisons, not exercising basic human rights!
5) What in the world is wrong with Florida!? I heard that they were getting rid of their male delegates to replace them with females just for Palin's speech? Now, I can't be sure if this is true or not (which is why i made it the last point) but if it is OMG!? Talk about major sexism-they have to fill the room with women to make themselves look fair??? This is rediculous! That is totally unfair to men! I'm a person who fights for equality and that was totally not equal if it actually happened. And this did not happen by a population of citizens, but by the party delegation of Florida that represents the Republicans of Florida. that's not a great representation of the Republican Floridians!
