Pardon me if I am offended by a flirt at the podium. 
I have been told today (not at DU, but in person) that I need to stop being so sensitive and toughen up with respect to my reactions to Sarah Palin. Apparently it is my fault I find it inappropriate when a woman resorts to playing the sex kitten in order to hide the fact that she hasn't a clue what is going on in this world.

As a woman I am way beyond appalled when flirtatious folksy behavior is cited as holding one's own in a debate. If Joe Biden had winked at the American people and spoken to us in such a manner he'd be tarred and feathered in the press this morning as a condescending prick.

I take comfort that the man in my life was equally offended. His comment, once he picked his jaw up off the ground, was "Does this brainless twit really think I'm going to vote with a beer in one hand and my dick in the other?"

Exceeding low expectations is not success. It's an indication of how our political discourse has sunk below basement level and how positively bankrupt the Republican party has become in terms of ability and talent.

I am simply aghast.

4. It honestly reminded me of something a waitress would do
 i could see her taking my order and winking at me before walking away from the table. Something to get bigger tips. Something unbecoming of a candidate for office. i'm sure there are plenty of 'folksy' people who like it....honestly if you're gonna vote for someone because she winks on stage, then you're a ****ing moron.

if she were the democratic VP nominee I'd be so embarrased at this point. I don't know how Republicans have the fortitude to still defend this woman. She's an insult to all the qualified intelligent Republican women out there.

10. I found this comment on another website, it completely sums up how I feel:
 "I can’t watch that stupid brain-dead simpleton up there, so supremely confident in her imagined competence as she spews out garbled talking points like a high-school drunk vomits up wine coolers...It’s a *******ed insult to me, all of you, America, Joe Biden and Gwen Ifill for Sarah Palin to even be on that stage, and she should apologize to each and every one of us, personally, for wasting all of our time and energy. And so should the fossilized old lech that is reponsible for this insult to mediocrity being up on that stage, John McCain."

All of us women who have had to put up with watching the ditzy cheerleader succeed by flirting and playing cutsey with whatever man who was in charge want are not going to buy this crap, and I think the debate will hurt her even more with women voters.

She's a joke, and a bad one at that.

20. Absolutely. This man didn't fall for it either.
 Palin's Stripper-For-Christ act doesn't take me in.

47. I find it offensive too.
 It's an insult to my intelligence to think because some woman winks and smiles I'm gonna go vote for her. I'm not some horny 12 year old who just learned to rub one out. I can tell when a woman is flirting with me and when she's just being conniving. And Palin is just being conniving.

But as offended as I am, I would think that women, who have had to fight for so long just to be taken seriously, would be even more pissed. Hell, why doesn't she just write "McCain" on one boob and "Palin" on the other and parade around topless? It'd be about as subtle.

You cannot insult that which does not exist.

Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.

Given their immature reactions to her mannerisms, no doubt the above undeniable truth of life applies to Pacifist Patriot and a majority of the females at the DUmp.

I guess Palin could only be considered serious if:

A. She was a democrat

B. She was ugly and fat.

C. All of the above.

[comradebillyboy]

Even by the low standards of the DUmp, this has to be one of the most hateful, ignorant and sexist threads ever. Palin absolutely rocked last night, and Biden was his usual boring and tedious self.

Hey, you left out carpet-muncher!

I think Jesus is going to have a nice, long talk with this country one day and their hating people over politics.

[Wineslob]

As I've said before, the DUmp reaction to Palin is precious. The fact that their reactions are so over the top tells me all I need to know about the woman.   

[MrsSmith]

It sounds to me as though they protest too much.  She must really turn them on something awful.

Women of the DUmp today....

There's no question Palin would be a poor candidate if we were going after the votes of faggots and bull daggers. Since those two groups comprise a large percentage of the DUmp population, she doesn't do well there, or on MSNBC. Among the Republican base, i.e., normal people, the concensus is that she was fabulous last night, and is an outstanding candidate.

Well when most of the s ocalled females at the DUmp range in looks equal to Morticia Addams to a huge Solar eclipse then its no wonder they hate "The Sarahcuda".

Well when most of the s ocalled females at the DUmp range in looks.....to a huge Solar eclipse.....

Damn, that's good, sir.
