Just an observation really.

I've kept half an eye on the U.S elections of late.  Out of morbid curiosity, I suppose.

So this Sarah Palin is anti-environment, pro-big oil, pro-life (including in cases of rape and incest), a creationist.  And the first thing that people think to attack is her motherhood credentials.  Seriously?

Huh.  Maybe it's just me, and maybe I'll get flamed for saying it, but I think that's incredibly messed up.

I'm still holding out that people will realize that, yes. I refuse to believe people are so shallow as to mess this up because of such a... well, picking her is basically a marketing ploy, isn't it?

And... I believe it was from season one... And, yes. XD *looks up* Double-yes, and it was "Dreamworker". Great show. *another Gabrielle quote icon is employed for this comment*

Utterly, and such a random one at that, unless they're reaching for the fundy vote and that doesn't make sense since they're more likely want a man in all likelihood. I'm sure the Republican party had more qualified women to choose from.

Ah, go me. But I don't remember that quote at all. :(

I was completely floored by how random the choice seemed. Er, well, SEEMS. It's still strange. *pauses* *looks up a few articles to check the reactions of people in general* ....Shiz, I'm genuinely a little scared, here. I'm not liking all the positivity- I'm hoping these are just republicans crawling out of the woodwork to say the stuff I'm reading, and not people who have been convinced...

Ah, it's from "A Comedy of Eros". Gabby had just commented on how it must be hard to be a Hestian virgin.

G: “No, it’s the virgins I’m talking about. Think of the faith it takes to be one of them.”
X:“Yeah, not to mention the other requirement.”
G:“Just between you and me, being chaste can be real hard.”
X:“Chaste?”
G:“Hmm.”
X:“No, I was talking about having to answer to that stupid bell
your whole life.”
G: “That too-- yeah.”
*yes, I went and found an episode transcript. XD*

It'll be republicans, surely. Or maybe it's just a very subtle form of sarcasm?

Ah, yes I remember that one. It was one of the better farce episodes, as I recall.

[cutmanmetal.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, I hope it's very, very, very subtle sarcasm. Otherwise, I'm seeing Hillary supporters turn, and mothers wanting to support her because they're offended at the attacks on Palin's motherhood... ._.;

And, hee, it really was. It was highly entertaining. And lovestruck Draco was both scary and funny- though he was more on the scary side way later in that battle-of-the-bands episode where he was STILL after Gabrielle...

[cold-nostalgia.livejournal.com]

So do I. As for Hillary supporters turning, I reckon they'll be few and far between. There won't be enough of them to turn the election.

I think I missed the battle of the bands ep, I only remember Draco from the first few eps.
