And They Say Obama Flip-Flops...

I can understand why candidates "flip-flop" in most cases. Opinions change as time goes on. Let's be honest, who didn't support the War in Iraq when it first began? But a lot changed between then and now, and it's unfair to condemn someone who previously supported the war but no longer does. But I digress...

Anyways, this interesting article written by Jennifer Harper of the Washington Times caught my attention. The story is mostly about how many feminist organizations such as EMILY's List are urging women not to vote for the McCain-Palin ticket (EMILY'S List newest slogan proclaims, "Read my lipstick: I am voting Democrat"). However, there is a tiny tidbit of information in this article that really says a lot about the Republican party:

The transformation of Republicans into energized Palin fans was quick. Shortly before Mr. McCain announced that Mrs. Palin was his running mate, the Pew Research Center surveyed 2,300 voters, asking, "Do mommies or daddies make better candidates?"

At that time, only one in five Republican respondents said they would support a candidate who was the mother of school-aged children; 53 percent of Republicans said working mothers were a "bad thing for society." Among Democrats, a third supported mother-politicians, while 38 percent did not favor working mothers.

You really can't get much more hypocritical than that. You can't go from saying that working women are bad for America one day and then the day after say that a working woman should be the next Vice President of the United States. If a "Hypocrite of the Century" award existing, there would be a clear winner in the Flip-flopublican Party.

Really, how do they sleep at night?
