Sarah Haskins explains what PANTHERs are and why you might be one if you're voting for McCain solely on the Palin ticket.

OK, so it's an oldie from back in June. But I thought it was the perfect time to bring back out this piece of political fun from Sarah Haskins.

McCain and Palin

August 29th 2008 21:03
Sara Palin
As most people already know McCain picked an unknown from Alaska to be his VP choice, Governor Sarah Palin. It's pretty clear that this is quite the calculated choice. It is the first time that the Republicans have put a woman on the ticket, and a nice tie in to McCains ad attacking Obama for not picking Clinton. His message is pretty clear. "See, I love women! I picked one for my VP. Just ignore my policies, ideals, and practices. One vagina is as good as another, isn't it?"

Yes John, we're all clearly such silly women that we'll vote for the vagina without looking at the politics. And if you really think that you're a bigger sexist jerk than I previous thought

Clintons 4 McCain? Not Likely.

August 27th 2008 11:28
Via Womanist Musings:

Clintons For Mccain
This video is of a group of women claiming to be Clinton supporters who have gone over to McCain. personally, my opinion is that if any of these women were actually Clinton supporters then I've got some ocean front property in Kansas to sell you. The amount of racism and hatred expressed here is absurd and I cannot see how anyone who agrees with Clinton's policies and what she stood for could A) vote for McCain of all people, and B) spread so much blind hatred against another person based on where he went to school. Frankly, the fact that she refused to provide any proof says more than enough to me about the honesty of the group

Does Obama Eat Fetuses?

August 26th 2008 16:29
Obama
The current attack that anti-choicers like to make against Obama is insisting that he created some bill forcing doctors to kill newborn infants if the mother says to. Of course the wording of the attack changes depending on who says it like a political game of phone tag. Some say he created the law, some say he only voted for it, and some say he collects newborn babies for his dinner. Media Matters has been taking on this rumor and writing about the reality of what happened for those who care. Not that I expect the anti-choicers to care about little things such as facts, but it's still nice for the rest of us.

Unfortunately the anti-choicers have enough voices in the media spreading misinformation that they can pull off saying whatever they want. A recent episode of The War Room With Quinn & Rose had a guest host Mike Pintek claiming that Obama "believes so firmly in abortion, he is so radical in his support for abortion and infanticide that he believes that if a woman chooses abortion, she's entitled to a dead body no matter what." Media Matters responded

Bush Works To Limit Women's Health

August 25th 2008 12:12
health care
In a last effort to hurt women and pull more Republicans to the polls this November Bush has proposed a dangerous and damning bill to limit women's access to abortion and contraceptives. From the AP article:

The regulation is written to apply to a broad swath of the health care work force, not doctors alone. Accordingly, an employee whose task it is to clean the instruments used in a particular procedure would be covered. Also covered would be volunteers and trainees.

Abortion and Depression In Women

August 19th 2008 19:56
Fuck me
I've heard some anti-choicers claim that abortion causes mental issues and depression in women. It's a real world version of the concern troll, wanting you to give in to their demands for your own good. It's a claim I've always been skeptical of. If there was a true link between abortions and depression or mental issues there would be some sort of figure to back that up rather than anecdotes.

My pet theory has been that if there is a link it is because of one of two things. First, any depression could be linked to a hormonal drop much like the drop that occurs, and causes depression in some, after giving birth. In that case to blame abortion would mean to also blame childbirth. Second would be more circumstances than the actual abortion. Partly from the circumstances that would have caused a woman to need an abortion and partly from the shame and guilt that are placed on a woman for having the abortion. You can only be called a murderer so many times before it starts to have an affect on your self-esteem. Now it seems that my theories aren't that wrong. From Melissa's article

McCain: The Anti-Choice Zealot

August 13th 2008 14:33
McCain
The New Republic has a great article up regarding McCain and his anti-choice views. His reputation as a moderate slowly slips away as more and more people learn about his real views. Such as his opposition to Roe v. Wade and his desire to fill the Supreme Court with ultra-conservatives. Out of his 130 votes on reproductive heath, McCain voted anti-choice on 125 of them, which includes the global gag rule that prevented funds to international family-planning clinics.

The opening of the article shows a glimpse of the real McCain

Politics Is Hawt!

See You At The Debates Bitches
I've never been a Paris Hilton fan, which probably isn't all the shocking. But her response to the McCain ad featuring her and Britney Spears has certainly won a special place in my heart. Funny, smart, and a nice play on her stereotypical image. If anything it shows that she has a great sense of humor. Stopping to flip through th magazine before getting to her energy plan? I love when people can laugh at themselves rather than get offended at stuff like that.

Female Political Bloggers

August 8th 2008 16:48
women bloggers
How many political bloggers out there are women? Give it a good guess. 100? 200? 300? Would you believe more than 500 women are blogging politics? The Political Voices of Women is celebrating this week that their list finally topped the 500 mark. Visit the site to catch a glimpse at some of those amazing women who are proving politics is certainly not a men's game. And if you're not added to the list be sure to speak up and get yourself on board.

I can't wait to pass the 1000 mark!

Hillary McCain
It seems the old "Hillary supporters are turning to McCain" story is still alive and well. It's one that, frankly, I cannot understand.

An article on Winning Women over at BlogHer discussed how some women are not happy with Obama and many of the sexist tactics that the media played during the campaign. And so the story goes that feeling snubbed and upset these women are turning to Mccain for presidential comfort. Which is a pretty classic example of cutting off your nose to spite your face

Sellin' The Wife For Votes

Cindy McCain Sturgis
I'm not a biker but even I know about Sturgis and the sort of things that can go on there. If you're not familiar Sturgis is a huge biker rally that happens once a year where bikers from all over the country get together, show off their bikes, socialize, and do a few things that bikers have a bad reputation for doing. Such as the Buffalo Chip "beauty" contest. A contest McCain joked about encouraging his wife to enter.

Because flashing her tits and bouncing around on stage is what the First lady should have on her resume

How the Pro-Choice Movement Saved America
With the news getting grimmer and grimmer for women I decided I needed a little friendly reading to lift my moral. Luckily I found just the thing I needed, wrapped in a pretty pink cover, shouting at me from the shelf at my local book store. How the Pro-Choice Movement Saved America: Freedom, Politics, and the War On Sex

Do I even need to say how much you should buy this book and read it? Already a couple years old I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do. Why I didn't read a copy as soon as it was out is fuzzy to me. But now that I've gotten my hands on it I'm absorbing every page. Last night I took it with me grocery shopping and poured through the pages while my partner put whatever he wanted in the cart. I was too busy to worry abut food
