Some Hillary supporters do support McCain Palin

Although I don't think there are enough Hillary supporter cross overs to make a difference this site did surprise me a bit:
    Watching the hysteria from the Democratic Party over the nomination of Sarah Palin has been deja vu all over again. The party of women is once again perpetrating a sexist onslaught!!! It is too bizarre----and twice in one year. And we are watching the Republican Party, the home of what we thought were the real sexists, stand up loudly and strongly and daily pushing back sexists attacks. Who knew they had it in them?

    We Hillary supporters who have come out for McCain don't even know what to do as our fellow Democrats come after us SCREAMING about how the world will come to an end if we support this ticket with this terrible woman on it. They ask---"Are you that stupid? The Republicans have never been your friends!!" And then we get this whole litany of how the Republicans have never been friendly to women, blah, blah, blah.

    Well, it's not exactly true. The Republicans actually have a pretty good track record when it comes to appointing women----remember Sandra Day O'Connor, the first female Supreme Court Justice? What about Condoleeza Rice----first African American woman Secretary of State? Sec. Rice, for all that we Democrats have tried to demonize her (and I'm ashamed to say that I was as bad as any Democrat where she was concerned) was the only one who was able to moderate Pres. Bush's positions, and thank goodness for that. Things would be worse without her influence. I could list others-----female Cabinet Secretaries, members of both houses of Congress, and others who have been by all accounts quite distinguished in their accomplishments.
And don't miss the young black woman, Patsy Rogers, refute all that "you must be racist if you don't support Obama." She's good!
