PALIN mccain 08

I haven't been completely tuned in to everything that's been going on with this upcoming election, but from the skant bits of news ive seen, and from discussions we've had in class, it seems that a lot of people have really grown close to Sarah Palin. When she first hit the spotlight there were media attacks and whatnot, but now people seem to want to defend her despite knowing what the truth is about her(even i don't really know.) Even when i saw some video that was a parody bashing McCain, the caption was "leave Sarah Palin alone." People are saying that she will be the first woman in the white house and how great it will be, but people are, in my opinion, losing perspective. For example, i asked someone i know who they'd be voting for, they said
"not really sure, but im thinking i'll vote for Palin"
I kind of brushed it all off and tryed to forget about it, untill last night i was very pleasantly surprised by the opening of saturday night live. Tina fey was dressed up as Palin saying thing like she will be the first female president, and things of the sort.
On another note, besides the fact that many people are losing their grips, they also are just plain too nice to her.
In a way, people are being sexist. Be more critical of her, sure she seems nicer than hillary, but she deserves to be bashed and slandered and criticized as much as any other candidate, doesnt matter if you are white or black, old or young, male or female, you deserve to have the same struggles.
Make it so that it's "unfair," for everyone.
