Veep Haiku
immaterial
that Palin is a woman
scary politics
working mom, so what
Palin does not speak to me
she is not like me
poor Bristol Palin
like this was not hard enough
whole country watches
maybe if her mom
believed in sex ed, not just
abstinence only
there’d be no baby
no teenage shotgun wedding
they are statistics
judge Sarah Palin
by her actions and her words
not on her gender
check Politifact
for non-partisan review
of candidate’s words
MOMocrats opine
they “rage against the McCain”
read them, they are smart
register to vote
we may not agree, but please
exercise your right
I totally agree. That woman is scary, and in a bad way.

I agree with so very much of what you said. I feel like I’ve said this a bunch this morning and the past few days, but it boggles my mind to consider that approximately half of America votes one way and approximately another half votes the other, and it’s so important to vote. Palin was a brilliant choice by McCain, actually, in my opinion, because of the votes she will bring in for him while she plays up being a regular mom (though she’s kind of not, and I don’t get trying to juggle a special needs infant with the vice presidency), and that all just really scares me.
Sorry for the novel. I keep doing that today. ;)

THANK YOU!!! My husband is dumbfounded I dont support her…but why would I? Simply because she’s the same gender as me? Nope. She doesnt speak to me either. And I sure wish people would stop comparing a presidential candidate to a vp candidate. Oy.
Great haiku! I love the name of your blog BTW! ;)

Seriously, if the Republican Brain Trust thinks we are all going to join in the “Vaginas Unite” rally cry, they should think again. Just because the Penis Brigade can really get behind the Pretty Vajayjay doesn’t mean that all the rest of us Vaginas are going to jump on the bandwagon.
Wow. There’s a lot of possible entendre there.

“working mom, so what
Palin does not speak to me

Word, Sister. I’m so frustrated with hearing, “She’s a mom like you.” Um, no she is not. Part of me feels like I shouldn’t be judging her mothering, I can’t help but do it.
I really don’t want someone like Palin in government. She asks for privacy for her own family but wants to restrict the choices of young women, which they should be able to make in private. I think she’s an interesting person, but I don’t want people with her views to be making social policy.
