Soccer moms, security moms, Sarah moms. What do women really vote on?

Well Joy Behar is a woman that wouldn’t pee on Sarah Palin even if she was on fire.
Behar hates Sarah with such a passion. Why is that? She is a mother too. What is Behar so scared of?

Joy is just jealous of her. Joy is just a big mouth B. Sarah has it all and Joy just wish she had it. Anyway the view is just so trashy now. Elizabeth is the only on there that is truthful and they just can’t stand her either. The rest of the are trash trash trashl

We want a chance. It’s especially sad, when women run organizations and do not reach out to help others. For example, I thought you would be interested in the following situation:
1> CA’s (Islandia) Technology Services (TS) department is lead by a woman, whom they transferred from Ireland to run the Services organization.
2> Outside of Islandia, the department rarely hires women to interview and hire women for their high profile positions. ie. consultant, sr. consultant, consulting manager, practice director, regional manager, and area manager positions.
3> Yes, they have women in management positions in the Technology Services Education department. Which is honestly considered the lowest level in prestige at the company.
4> If I am recalling correctly, of the few existing women in technical consulting roles, they have only been promoted to a presales or services Sr. Consultant or project manager.
5> There is not one women their that has been able to work her way up.
6> The few, if any that are in Consulting Director, Delivery Manager, Practice Manager positions, were hired from the outside.
I wonder why an organization can be run by a lady, yet overlook the hiring practices of interviewing more women, hiring more women & promoting women from within?
Their resume bank is full of applications from women, yet there are so few getting interviews, let alone an actual job.
In addition, to there are very few asians, hispanics, indians and blacks in the group as well. The demographics of the team does not reflect the talent pool of candidates with experience in the field.
1> Why is there no active program to recruit and mentor women from within?
I agree, they can hire talented executives from the outside & from a foreign country. Why can’t they seem to develop the women they have for future leadership positions. Internal candidates do not seem to be considered.
2> Why is there no active program to recruit minorities?
3> How can this team be run by a women, yet lack insensitivity to the lack of recruiting and promoting women from within?
It would prove an interesting question to ask? I am interested in knowing the answer.

Sarah Palin does not represent the women of America! She is not educated, she has used racial slurs, she has corrupted her office as mayor,a dn she is against the right of a women to choose.
She is a FAKE!! I don’t know any intelligant women who is willing to vote for her.
She does not represent women who have fought for the right to vote, use family planning and educate their children in schools free of religious persecustion.

ck…you are right. McCain plains to cut millions in Medicaid, first thing. I guess a lot of people in Florida don’t understand that. He admitted it in the last debate.
What happens to all those people, including you, who are depending on that for medical coverage when they retire.

I vote for someone that is smarter than me. I do not want someone that took 6 years and 5 colleges to finish a “journalism” degree. I do not want a first family with a pregnant teenager who is also a highschool drop-out (and Republicans brag of “moral values”).
I do not want someone that only identifies with “Hockey moms” and “joe six-packs” (as I am neither one), and I don’t want someone that will tell me or my daughter that if we get raped, we will have no choice but keep the child.
Sarah Palin is an embarrassment to me as a women and would be even worst as our President.

Janet…RIGHT ON. I couldn’t of said it better nyself.
Plus, they are making this boy( the father of the child) quit school and get a job to support the child. HOW STUPID!!!
I thought Palin believed education was the most important asset.

This is a simple one for me – I could be best described as a one-issue voter: abortion rights for women. As long as women’s bodies are controlled by “The State” we cannot be considered equal citizens. A candidate could be the smartest, most eloquent, experienced, blah, blah, blah, person, but if he/she doesn’t advocate for a woman’s right to choose, they don’t get my vote.

Cail … I agree 100%, but as a woman, and being inherently different biologically from a man, I will also weigh my vote with my “ovaries”. Having the right to choose what is best for myself, includes voting as a woman.

There is another class of women not discussed in this article, but the unmarried, non-moms will be voting in a few weeks as well. I am mid-40′s, single only because it’s not legal in my state for me to marry someone of the same sex, and that’s one of the big issues for me. I have healthcare because the company my partner works for has domestic partner benefits. I want the playing field leveled for all Americans, and the Repugs have proven time and again that they are the party of divisions. They separate us into those who are “right” and “wrong” in our life “choices”. Although I have no children of my own, it does concern me that we are dropping in the ranks of the best educated children in the world. If we don’t correct our educational system to competitive on an international scale we will find ourselves in our golden years being cared for by morons.
As for Palin, I clocked her the moment I laid eyes on her…the only reason she ever got any favorable attention is because she is somewhat attractive. I would like to see how it would play if McCain picked someone more of Margaret Thatcher’s appearance with Palin’s brains.

Debra … You go girl!

Pamp205 .. I think Palin is the Grand Manipulator. I have been blessed with healthy, bright, happy children, and I am grateful beyond words, but something screams at me that it’s totally out of place when I see her with her family and the littlest one with down syndrome. She looks forced, and I hate the feeling that she is using those children for sympathy.

What is Behar so scared of? Could it be that she’s frightful that this dingbat and total screwup hasn’t a clue about what she has gotten herself into?! Jeez. The woman lives like a yahoo (hunting moose, for heaven sake!), has more children than she wants to care for, let’s her teenage daughter screw around and get pregnant with the local yocal, and has a husband who doesn’t (really) work but spends his time instead in his wife’s office trying to get x-relatives fired or racing snowmobiles (grow up!!). Can you imagine this crowd running the country?! Shudder!!!

hang…they may as well have a moose barbacue on the WH lawn and this winter have a snowmoblie race…or dogsled run…
God Help Us

I know what I want. I want a President who wants to look forward, not behind. I want a country that is strong domestically and in foreign affairs, but also the country that promotes peace and diplomacy. I want a college structure that will allow to go to school one day without breaking the bank. I want equal pay for equal work for women, something we shouldn’t even have to ask for in 2008. I want birth control to be added to health insurance so then maybe abortion wouldn’t be so much of the issue (john mccain voted against birth control to be covered by health insurance but VOTED FOR VIAGRA TO BE COVERED BY HEALTH INSURANCE!) I want more green technology that just doesn’t mean drilling for oil but other alternative fuels. There are so many things Americans need to do to get better and I want a President who will lead us there, steady and calm. I don’t see Sarah as calm plus with the investigation coming back with abuse of power founded, I feel Sarah is ME FIRST, not COUNTRY FIRST.

I am glad to see this whole discussion. I thought I was the only one who had concerns about her.
I just cannot bring myself to understand her logic as to why she thinks she qualifies to be VP.
It is mindboggling. I know professors on college with more experience( and they have run their own businesses), who would never consider themselves qualified.
I don’t know. It is a real puzzle.

Yes, women tend to vote more emotionally then men, but that dosen’t mean irrationally. I don’t tend to vote on just one issue, but for me this year, it’s the economy. Nothing has ever affected me more than the last 4 years. I’ve survived lay-offs and unemployment during the 80′s and moved into the 90′s and everything turned around. We became part of the working middle class. Bought our first home, new car, built up our savings and started looking forward to retirement. After 27 years of marriage, I’m back to clipping coupons, living pay day to pay day and worrying about our retirement savings and losing our healthcare, not to mention watching our neighbors struggle with job loss and cancer after losing her health insurance. I feel like I’m in the twighlight zone. It’s horrible. I wouldn’t vote another republican into the white house for all the tea in China. They have done nothing, repeatedly, for me or anyone I know.

** and the best comment of the day goes to…KEEP IT REAL!! And she really kept it real w/ her comments
Personally, this article is insulting to me as a woman. Are all voting women young wives & mothers? NO. To quote, “Soccer moms, security moms, Sarah moms, stockmarket moms and most of all, sane moms.” How about older, wiser Moms AND GrandMoms, who most likely will outnumber the “Soccer Moms” 2 to 1 when Nov. 4th rolls around. We know what trouble this country is in.
Sarah Palin scares the hell out of me. Incorrect education, no experience, and with McCain looking like he could drop dead at any minute, can any sane person HONESTLY think that Sarah Palin could lead a country? Nauseating …

** The last sentence is classic! Kudos!

How can we celebrate being feminists when we’ve been cheated out of our female heroines and history?
At age 40, I realized that I knew that it did, but nothing of HOW the world turned — from routine repression to flat-out freedom for women.
I was a pre-teen in the 60s and was vaguely aware of bra-burning and women’s ‘liberation.’ But nothing was taught in school – there were no tv shows – no popular books that would make a person of my generation understand what it took to instill in me the firm belief that there was nothing in the world that I as a woman could not do.
I believe that my generation of women was the first to come of age with most of us believing, taking it for granted, assuming that the world would be fair to us and that our future would be glorious.
Of course, that wasn’t the case, though my life has been blessed with amazing opportunities that my mother and grandmother would not have dreamed of.
But when I realized that I didn’t know how my freedom happened I set out on a journey of discovery and I am now strengthened by the inspiration of countless suffragettes. I realize I stand on their strong shoulders, and on the shoulders of women like Gloria Steinem who pushed and are pushing for more than voting rights, who demand the full range of human rights for women.
I want to share that inspiration with other women.
Can you even imagine being a woman and NOT being able to vote?
Thanks to the suffragettes, America has women voters and wide range of women candidates, and we are a better country for it!
Women have voices and choices! Just like men.
But few people know ALL of the suffering that our suffragettes had to go through, and what life was REALLY like for women.

GO SARAH!

Since when did we become so stupid that we feel what entertainers say so important and that they can influenece our vote. I am smart enough, and yes even a mom, to read, learn and make my own decision. As far as “The View” concerned, it is time for them to fade into the background. No matter who is on or replaces who, they all are big mouths!
