McCain's running mate is a Christian Stepford wife in a sexy librarian costume. Women, it's time to get furious.
By Cintra Wilson
Sep. 10, 2008 | Sarah Palin may be a lady, but she ain't no woman.
I confess, it was pretty riveting when John McCain trotted out Sarah Palin for the first time. Like many people, I thought, "Damn, a hyperconservative, fuckable, Type A, antiabortion, Christian Stepford wife in a 'sexy librarian' costume -- as a vice president? That's a brilliant stroke of horrifyingly cynical pandering to the Christian right. Karl Rove must be behind it."
Palin may have been a boost of political Viagra for the limp, bloodless GOP (and according to an ABC/Washington Post poll she has created a boost in McCain's standing among white women to a 53 over Obama's 41). But ideologically, she is their hardcore pornographic centerfold spread, revealing the ugliest underside of Republican ambitions -- their insanely zealous and cynical drive to win power by any means necessary, even at the cost of actual leadership.
Sarah Palin is a bit comical, like one of those cutthroat Texas cheerleader stage moms. What her Down syndrome baby and pregnant teenage daughter unequivocally prove, however, is that her most beloved child is the antiabortion platform that ensures her own political ambitions with the conservative right. The throat she's so hot to cut is that of all American women.
I don't want Sarah Palin being the representative leader and custodian of my rights, my Constitution and my country any more than I want polygamist compound leader Warren Jeffs baby-sitting for my preteen goddaughters.
As a woman who does not believe what Palin believes, the thought of such an opportunistic anti-female in the White House -- in the Cheney chair, no less -- is akin to ideological brain rape. What this Republican blowup doll does with her own insides in accord with her own faith is her business. But, like the worst and most terrifying of religious extremists, she seems very comfortable with the idea of imposing her own views on everyone else.
I did not think that women being downgraded to second-class, three-holed chattel would be a pressing concern in my lifetime. I thought it was like polio, or witch burning -- an inhumane error that had already been corrected. But after eight years of Republican hegemony, and now the potential ascendance of this sheep in ewe's clothing, I am so mortally offended I feel like it is really time for women to be angry, hardcore and disgusted again. Not just with old white Christian patriarchs and their hopelessly calcified, religiously condoned misogyny, but also with the self-abnegating, submissive female Uncle Tommies whose ambitions and eagerness to please the powerful males of their tribe are so desperate that they would sell out their sovereignty over their own bodies. And yours too.
Republicans have -- in a P.T. Barnum, sucker-born-every-minute kind of way -- successfully framed themselves as the custodians of Christian ethics and conservative family values. This stance successfully masks their wholesale class war against the majority of their supporters, who continue to vote blatantly against their own economic interests in thrall to this deliberate emotional manipulation. It was the media critic Douglas Rushkoff who pointed out, several years ago, that Republican politicians were employing marketing techniques perfected by Clotaire Rapaille. Rapaille, broadly paraphrased, introduced a theory that approximately 80 percent of all decision making is done at the level of the limbic system -- our lowest, most colorless, reptilian emotional level. Republican strategies are consistent with a belief that the voting process, for most people, is full of feelings -- but devoid of reason.
Sarah Palin, in this light, makes so little sense that she makes perfect sense. She speciously represents a new power paradigm of the Nice Mommy: the opposite of Hillary (the Mean Mommy), the opposite of Oprah (black, and therefore foreign), the opposite of Martha Stewart (another Mean Mommy). In her support for women on women's issues, she has done everything but volunteer for her own circumcision. She tacitly promises a roll backward into old-fashioned sexual roles -- like Old Testament-style old. Her morality is fixed, predictable and inflexible. There are those who will find comfort in the fact that they will know exactly what can be expected from Palin: Free will subordinated to obedience of an airtight, evangelical interpretation of the demands of God, country and Republican men.
The choice of Palin represents what the Christian right is really saying to the women of America. The subtext: It's a Faustian bargain, girls. To elevate your sex to power and respectability, you must first give us the keys to your chastity belt.
It is unsurprising that the morally compromised fraternity of corruption-infested Republican robber barons and war profiteers came up with this stunt, but we must regard it in the same light as the rest of their treasonous, criminal behavior. We must regard Sarah Palin as the Carmella Soprano of the GOP -- an enabling wife of organized crime, who sees, hears and speaks no evil of the boys in her old-boy network for whom she does this ideological lap dance.
It is a kind of eerie coincidence that Sarah Palin is being sprung on the public at the same time as the bimbo/frat-boy titty comedy "House Bunny," which features a poster of a beautiful young lady with Playmate-style bunny ears, big, stupid eyes and her mouth hanging open like someone just punched her.
Sarah Palin is the White House bunny -- the most nauseating novelty confection of the evangelical mind-set since Southern "chastity balls," wherein teen girls pledge abstinence from premarital sex by ceremonially faux-marrying their own fathers.
Sarah Palin is the sexual front of the culture war and the embodiment of the bold social engineering stance of the new authoritarianism that Republicans have been employing ever since they stole the election in 2000. As a result of conservative Republican policies, America has proved itself to be too rife with fraud, bureaucratic constipation, self-inflicted economic calamity, cronyism and incompetence to effect any positive movement anywhere at all, even at home.
But, the Republicans seem to be saying, at least we can offer you the hope of putting women back in their place.
Bristol Palin will no doubt be a fine example as a first teen, particularly now that her mother is inflicting an old-fashioned shotgun wedding on the hapless, horny, condomless youth who impregnated her.
The Republicans are, in effect, saying: We're not going to win this race on the basis of being the better candidates. Barack Obama is going to make you think. You don't like thinking. Here's an It Girl vice president who is easy on the eyes, you stodgy old white baby boomer. She's like a grown-up version of Mary Ann from "Gilligan's Island." She embodies the raw conviction that everything the Republicans have ever done has been right. She'll make you feel better about yourself for voting for Bush. Twice.
Relax: The war is God's plan. (Or whatever.) Women, even if they are vice president, can always look pretty, worship their husbands in the fear of God and never, ever resist invasions from unwanted sperm.
Sarah Palin and her virtual burqa have me and my friends retching into our handbags. She's such a power-mad, backwater beauty-pageant casualty, it's easy to write her off and make fun of her. But in reality I feel as horrified as a ghetto Jew watching the rise of National Socialism.
She is dangerous. She is not just pro-life, she's anti-life. She is the suppression of human feeling and instinct. She is a slave to the compromises dictated by her own desire for power and control. Sarah Palin is untethered from her own needs and those of her family, which is in crisis, with a pregnant daughter, a son on the way to Iraq and a special-needs infant.
She should, however, be a galvanizing point for women everywhere. Not to support her candidacy but to rebel against the Republican Party and take back the respect and equality so hard-earned by the women's liberation movement in the 1970s.
We've been shanghaied. This is sick. We need to slap the face of our bad frat-boy date and walk home from this drive-in movie. Sarah Palin may put out to be popular, but the rest of America's women don't need to do the same.
If not, what the hell? John McCain should go the whole Hugh Hefner route and have eight V.P.s that all look exactly like Sarah Palin.
It's McCain's world, girls: You'd just live in it.

This part of the article in particular caught my attention. A few years ago, Thomas Frank wrote a book, "Whats the Matter with Kansas," a book about how the right-wing took over Kansas politics in the 1980s and 1990s and hoodwinked Kansans to vote against their own economic interests time after time while they voted for candidates who wanted to outlaw abortion, for example. Frank summed it up something like this: "Vote for a Republican to ban abortion, get a capital gains tax cut instead."
It is a great book to read if you can get it (at a library, with or without a sexy librarian LOL) or at a bookstore.

Hey, this Thomas Frank guy is being interviewed on my community radio station now, he's got a new book out and writes opinion for the Wall Street Journal. Very interesting, smart and entertaining fellow.
Pro-life/anti-gay conservatives are so deluded, it'd be funny if they weren't always winning. They don't ever seem to get that the folks they vote for will never actually ban abortion, or gays, because those are the very issues that get their stupid asses off the couch to vote...every single time.

This Palin woman stands for many things which I despise. I especially hate how she claims to be a conservative, old fashioned religious type, yet she is a working moo in a very demanding high stress job. The fact that she takes enough time to squat out a retard, but doesn't seem to know what's going on in her daughter's life, is the epitome of hypocrisy. I have voted Republican since the first time I voted for Reagan because I mistakenly believed that Democrats were more about give away and welfare programs. EVEN IF I truly loved McCain, which I do not, I would NOT vote Republican this year SOLEY because of Mrs. Palin.

I'm a Republican but I fucking HATE this bitch. The more I read about her barbaric views and disregard for wildlife, the more I hate her.
Somebody should chase this bitch and her whole famblee across a snowy field, in a helicopter, shooting at them with a rifle. See how much she'd like it. She'd have the pleasure of watching her family die one by one before she got it herself. I think her views on cowardly aerial hunting would drastically change.
I get a kick out of her posing with the dead trophy animals she's shot, big deal bitch, so you shot an animal. Wow, you 'da man. ANYBODY can take the life of a defenseless animal with a firearm. And spare me the "hunting skills" bullshit.
You're right, she stands for everything that is despised by the REAL women of this country. She's a cunt, pure and simple. Nothing more than a trendy soccer mom with a cause.
MY GOD this country is so fucked.

If you sit down and talk with a bunch of fundies, you'll find out the ONLY reason they like Palin is because she had a bunch of babies and didn't abort her downs syndrome child. And also because her own daughter didn't use birth control and got knocked up.
These are not solid, intelligent reasons to vote for ANYONE.

Re: Great article about Palin September 12, 2008 |
I'm a democrat. I'm pretty open-minded and will vote for either party if I feel the person supports issues important to me (abortion, gay rights, ending the war, alternative energy sources). Palin embodies everything evil to me. The thing that scares me the most about her is that she's an envangelical christian, so's my grandmother, and believe me, they're nuts!

This article is so punchy, sharp, and well-written; I'd be honored to put my own name on it as the writer, assuming I could write something that well.
Especially liked: "Sarah Palin is a bit comical, like one of those cutthroat Texas cheerleader stage moms. What her Down syndrome baby and pregnant teenage daughter unequivocally prove, however, is that her most beloved child is the antiabortion platform that ensures her own political ambitions with the conservative right. The throat she's so hot to cut is that of all American women."

We are so fucked if this bitch gets the Repugs another 4 year term. The sad thing is that I am certain that there are women who will vote Repug just because of Ms Bible-Ganger on the ballot.
What the fuck is WRONG with this fucking country? The bitch had a fucking RETARD and her daughter is a little slut who couldn't keep her legs closed! In what way does this make Sarah Palin fit to be local dogcatcher, LET ALONE Vice President?

Re: Great article about Palin September 15, 2008 |
Palin is the embodiment of everything I find loathsome about the far right-she's uber religious nutjob who wants to force ALL of her views down other people's throats. The fact that she advocates gunning down animals from a plane is just the straw that broke the camel's back for me. One of my and my husbands' friends used to work for the park district near our house doing 'population control' for deer, and even she is horrified by arial hunting-that should tell you all you need to know, people who sincerely care about the environment/animals can't stand her either.

To me Caribou Barbie is an example of the rise of anti-intellectualism in this country. She appeals to people who want to vote for "someone like me."
Well, I don't. I'd rather vote for someone far smarter, harder-working, much more educated, and more thoughtful and diplomatic than me. I always have to wince when I hear the term "elitism" bandied about. As DH said last night, "The office of president is an elite job!" I personally want a member of the intellectual elite in that position, and would probably be willing to cross party lines to vote for him or her.

You said it Clematis...I think we should all be painfully aware of the consequences of voting for someone "just like me" by now. I am all down with someone who is smarter, more diplomatic, more sober and better spoken than me.
That said, I'm pretty sure I'd make a better and more experienced Vice Presidential candidate than Mrs. Babymaker. Words can't describe how much I hate that fucking cow.

Re: Great article about Palin October 01, 2008 |
Has anyone watched the recent interviews between Katie Couric and Sarah Palin?
She was asked to name one U.S. Supreme Court case she disagreed with and she could not name even one! (besides Roe versus Wade).
She invited people to ask specific stuff but when they do, she can't answer back or says, "I'll get back to you." I can't wait to hear her say that in tomorrow's Veep debate.
This is one stupid person.

Dh and I are all prepared for the debate tonight. I went grocery shopping last night and got popcorn, cokes, and movie- sized boxes of candy. It should be quite a show. Sadly, Caribou Barbie (I love that one!) could easily end up our nation's leader if McCain kicks the bucket. Is she going to allow aerial hunting in the rest of the states? Hide little animals! Hide!
I hate the sight of her.

I got my food too, heh--all set.
I personally plan to keep a running tally of the number of times
Caribou Barbie (heh) says,
"As a mother,..."
"As the parent of a Down's Syndrome baby,..."
"Vice presidential advisors? My children are my greatest advisors..." (gag)
I can't remember when the veep debates were ever this interesting.
