Found this when in Naples, Florida this week:


This Proves It

Letter To The Editor, Naples Daily News:

John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as running mate to me tells the truth about who he really is.

As a woman I respect Palin. As a woman I respect all women, even those with different beliefs and ideas.

But as a woman I detest the behavior of McCain in choosing Palin. In his choice of her, he has manipulated, abused and disrespected her as a human being. His choice was made not for the good of this country or the world; it was done so he could try to win. The sacrifice of any woman is unacceptable and very much old paradigm.

Palin was and is not ready for this great responsibility. She is a woman of many facets and attributes on a great journey toward all the goals she has or will set for herself. At this time, as we have all seen and heard, she is not ready to be vice president, much less president. This is so beyond her capacities. My compassion pours out to her because she has been wrongfully chosen way before her time!

As a woman, I understand and feel the injustice that has been brought upon this Palin by the Republican Party in its manipulative desire to win.

The media and every American has a right to know everything about a candidate and to be informed of her strengths and also her inadequacies. In this vetting, to my great sadness, Palin has been exposed, and who truly can be blamed for such an abuse but John McCain.

And that could only come from a man who has no regard or respect for women.
