This is vastly amusing political theater. I love to see Leftists in a tizzy pretending that they are not. All these snide comments about “Cheerleaders” and “pendulous breasts” indicate that the Left are acting maladroit, if not insane. This has to be a sign of panic. No one has given them their “Daily Talking Points” so they flounder around.
All the nastiness that the “Daily Kos” boys spout about male Conservatives will rebound on them if they try it on Sarah Palin. Why? Because the Democrat Party is a fragile coalition of special interests.
There are a huge number of government payment collecting women who routinely vote Democrat to protect Social Security. They would be offended if the Democrat Party attacked Sarah Palin in the same ways as it would John McCain. Their economic interests will be thrown aside if the Democrat Party starts acting sexist.
This move of McCain’s was unexpected; the Left don’t have a plan of attack and their old plans are in the garbage can. McCain is inside Obama’s OODA loop; he will be throwing changes so fast and furious at the Democrat Party that Obama’s Camp won’t know how to respond. And when they do respond, it is likely to be a tactical terror which sabotages their own forces. McCain will set up groups, inside the Democrat Party, to be at odds with each other and the tactics used by their Policy Guru’s. What a recipe for chaos.
Of course, George Soro’s Far Left crowd pays for it all, so they have the whip hand. But, where do they snap that whip?
The Obama Campaign knows that it is a losing strategy to attack Sarah Palin directly, so they will leave the counter attack to their allies in the Mainstream Media and you Daily Kos boys. That way they can plausibly claim deniability.
But, Sarah Palin has shown in her acceptance address that she will steal feminist rhetoric away from the Democrats. That is why she praised Geraldine A. Ferraro and Hillary Clinton for “placing 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling” so that she, a Conservative woman, can claim the title of being the first female Vice President of the United States.
Ohooooo. This is a beautiful triangulation. That’s gotta hurt the Democrats to strip away that issue. Of course, you could say that the Feminists already threw away the issue when they defended a cad like Bill Clinton from the women that he sexually assaulted. The point is that this is the first election where the Republicans take advantage of that weakness in the Democrat Party.
Expect more of this. The campaign has started anew, but this time the momentum and excitement is on the Republican side. Obama’s message of “Change and Hope” has been adroitly subverted. And it is too late to plan a new attack.
Palin presents a flanking attack–an August surprise. Meanwhile, McCain holds the center which keeps Obama and Biden in place. The Democrats can do little while Sarah Palin produces chaos within the Democrat ranks. If the Democrat Policy Guru’s aren’t careful, they will find themselves attacking their own side. Their Media barrages may be savaging the tender sensibilities of women who want to be respected as wife’s and mother’s who are still active in politics and business.
Sarah Palin’s life story is one of Feminism without its Man-Hating attributes. She turns the truisms upside down. She is the culmination of the Feminist Movement, but she is also a Conservative–a wife–a mother–a Christian and a State Governor. She is a much more attractive avatar than Betty Friedan is. Millions of girls will grow wanting to be like her.
If the Democrat Party tries to attack that, they lose, not just the girls, not just an election, but their reason for existence.
