Sarah Palin Up Close

My mother-in-law and I attended a McCain-Palin rally in Fairfax Virginia earlier this week and it was a blast! There were tens of thousands of people there and the collective enthusiasm was breathtaking. People are really excited about this new mom on the block, Sarah.

For some reason the media that was so thrilled to report that 200,000 Germans attended an Obama rally in Berlin Germany haven’t ventured to give us an estimate of how many people were at this rally in Fairfax Virginia. One thing for sure is that there were far more Americans at this rally then there were at the Obama rally in Berlin!

I apologize for the sarcasm but I’ve had it with the flagrant hypocrisy evident in the media. It’s not new, but it’s out of control now and I think threatening to polarize our country to the point where our democracy can not function at all. Lord knows it’s already nearly impossible to get things done in Washington DC as it is now. Sadly, I’m doubtful any President and Vice President can make much of a difference as long as Congress is at war for control.

The abusiveness with which many in the media have attacked Sarah Palin infuriates me. Not because I’m a working career woman, because I am not. Not because I’m a feminist, because I am not. But because it’s just not right. The media has viciously attacked conservative after conservative for years and mostly people look the other way and let the abuse occur. But this time it’s a mom they’re attacking that just happens to have a baby with Downs. Bingo. A mom with a Downs child, that I am.

    Thank you for the nice feedback Beth. I hate bringing politics into momz.com, but ’tis the season and I believe everyone has an opinion so I figured it was time to voice mine.

    Thank you for dropping by!
