Lipstick on a Pig...Is Obama Calling Palin a Pig...You Decide

As you have probably noticed, the presidential race is getting hot. Since Palin gave her well received speech at the Republican National Convention, the democrats just haven't known what to do. So, more attacks have occurred from the Democratic party against Sarah Palin in a way that should infuriate any woman.

Obama talks about the fact that many women get lower pay for the same jobs men have and he wants to make sure that women get their rights. Yet, when faced with a woman, Obama treats her in a way that he would never dare to treat any man.

In Palin's speech at the RNC, she mentioned that the difference between a hockey mom and a bulldog was "lipstick." Now in Obama's speech he came up with his own lipstick quote. "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." Was this a hit on Palin?

Well, many people in the media are saying that it was a slip of speech and that the comment did not refer to Palin in any way. My opinion...it was used as a slam. After all, how many other male politicians talk about lipstick in their speeches? I think it really appears to be a hit on Palin, and by the reaction of his audience of supporters, it appears that they took this the same way too.

So, was Obama calling Palin a pig? Watch the clip...then you decide.

Yes...Palin Can Hold Her Own

Palin has already proven that she can definitely hold her own. This is one tough woman who isn't going to take any flak from anyone. Stay tuned for more on Palin's speech at the RNC and my thoughts on all she had to say.....

John McCain's VP Choice - Palin a Top Choice for Republicans and Conservative Women

If you've been following the political race, no doubt you know that we've been waiting with bated breath to see what John McCain's response would be to the Biden Vice Presidential running mate pick by Obama. Well, today the wait is over, and many people, including myself, found themselves shocked when McCain picked Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska.

Although many conservatives found themselves expecting the pick of Romney or Pawlenty for the Vice Presidential pick, it was my hope that he definitely did not go with Romney. At first I was a bit shocked at the choice of Sarah Palin, but after about 60 seconds of hearing the news, I realized what a great political move it was.

We just watched the Democrats pass over a woman as a Vice Presidential pick, which could have done more to unite the party than any speech that Bill or Hillary Clinton made, although they are both excellent orators. However, it appears that Obama took personal choice and preference into consideration above what was best for the party and passed over Hillary as a VP pick, and I have no doubt that he is regretting that at this point.

John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin for his Vice Presidential running mate was a wise one that has energized the Republican party. Now the republicans are reaching out to women with a strong women pick, and Palin also draws in the votes of the evangelical base, not to mention some of Hillary Clinton's supporters that are not too happy with the democratic party.

Today there have been many rumblings from unhappy democrats that Palin is inexperienced and just a small town woman unfit to be the Vice Presidential nominee. Now I find this interesting from Obama, since he supposedly is the one who is the champion of the small town people.

Actually Palin has plenty of experience, working to reach across the isle to get things done in her state, working on energy concerns, and even commanding the National Guard of Alaska, which she mentioned in her acceptance speech. Is she a Washington insider? No, but isn't that what everyone is looking for? Obama is always making the case for change and getting rid of the insiders in Washington, but now he criticizes the very thing he is always promoting? Double standard? You decide! Does Palin have the experience needed to be the next Vice President? Absolutely.

Today is a great day for republicans and conservative women. We have seen a strong woman nominated to the position of Vice Presidential candidate. A woman that stands strong against abortion, that understands the challenges of working families, and that in a unique way can appeal to the conservative women of today's world.

In my opinion, John McCain has made a winning choice in Sarah Palin. I look forward to watching her move forward the cause of politics for the conservative woman. We'll continue to take a look at her, her accomplishments in the past, and her positions on the issues in the next few days, so check back soon to your inside information source on American politics for the conservative woman.
