Rick McGinnis: “I am urging American women not to vote in this year’s election”

October 31, 2008 By admin

He writes:

She describes a young male student at the community college where she teaches, wearing a “Sarah Palin Is A C__t” T-shirt “without shame or even consciousness of what he was doing.” She recalls attending a Barack Obama rally where the mention of Palin’s name “drew shouts of ‘stone her.’” She laments that “instead of engaging Palin on the issues, critics attacked attributes that are specifically female. It is Hillary’s pantsuit to the power of 10.” (…)

It’s neither likely nor perhaps even desirable, but if half of U.S. voters withdrew their franchise in protest, it would wreak havoc with pollsters and campaign operatives at the very least, and delegitimize a dispiriting and tainted election at best. It’s a slap that would perhaps bring otherwise intelligent people back to their senses, and restore some decency to a process that has devolved into a shameful rebuke of a woman’s right to participate in their country’s political life.
