Letter to the Editor published in the Green Bay Press Gazette

ALLOUEZ — Calling all women! Would you like to make a wager on how many times the McCain campaign can play the sexism card? Palin and McCain have proven to be experts on pandering for the female and sympathy vote while displaying sheer hypocrisy over the issues. How better to deflect attention on the issues of health care, education, the anti-abortion and abstinence only agenda than by playing the victim. Women have been cast in this light all too often, and Palin seems to relish in it. It is politically incorrect to question her anti-woman stance or call her out on the lies being told on the campaign trail because it will interfere with her image of being a no-nonsense kind of gal when in fact it is all nonsense. If you are thinking of voting for McCain because of the addition of Palin to the ticket because you think she is a reformer, you are wrong. If you vote for her because you like her look and attitude, you are shallow. If you vote for her because she is a woman, you are foolish.
