As of September 7, 2008, ABC News reports:

"Gov. Sarah Palin will sit down with ABC News' Charlie Gibson for her first interview since winning the Republican vice presidential nomination, the network's news division confirmed today."

In retrospect, the article discusses the McCain-Palin campaign's controversial stance, in which...

"Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, told Fox News today that Palin wouldn't subject herself to any tough questions from reporters 'until the point in time when she'll be treated with respect and deference'."

The Republican campaign was criticized by the Obama-Biden campaign for not allowing as many interviews with Palin as has been on record with Senator Joe Biden, the Democratic counterpart for Vice Presidential nomination. Recent reports have shown that Biden has taken 80 interviews since his nomination, compared to two by Gov. Palin.

Early on after she was picked, Palin was more than eager to attack Hillary Clinton, but as she keeps on proving to all of us, "she's no Hillary Clinton". She criticized Hillary for complaining that she was being picked on in the primary, and that she thought she should be treated like the men if she intended to run for office, but what she thinks Hillary did, pales in comparison to what's going on with her. Palin is responsible for what comes out of her mouth. She's just one of those open mouth insert foot people. The media is responding to it, and they always do it in an exagerated way and to the point of no return. Having said that, the media is not going to change, soooo.....If the heats too hot Sarah, get out of the kitchen.

McCain is from another time and space as far as women are concerned. His action indicate that he would still like women to operate in a 50"s mode. The womanizer will never be for anything equal for women because he believes they are inferior to men. and would only use them for his own advantage. With the exception of his wife, who is able to support him in the way that he's become acustom to being supported. Remember the "old" John McCain? Triger temper? Alienator to many of his colleagues? Well it is obvious that his temper is being controlled with the use of some type of perscription drug. He behaves like a Stepford husband on Prozac, but the snares, sarcasm, and the way he still distorts his face in anger(inspite of the botox), still reminds us of how he use to be. Nancy Reagan has always come out in support of the Republican candidate, but she has not spoken to John McCain since he left his first wife, who was paralized, for Cindy McCain.

Also obvious is the disappearance of Ron Reagan from the media. He was always on Hardball or on MSNBC, but because he does not share the same politics as his father, who has been elevated to sainthood by the Republicans, he is kept off the tv programs. The amount of media censorship is astonding. Try to email Chris Mathews or Keith Olbermann, try to send your opinion to anyone. It will come back. Our Congress went behind "closed doors" to work on the bailout.and decide what all of us are going to pay. Why wasn't it on tv for the American people to see? They're the ones paying for it. Why is there virtually NO coverage of Nader or Paul? It's because our rights are being slowly taken away. I guess they think if they do it slowly we won't notice it. WRONG GUYS! What do we get? Goofy Sarah news. Can you imagine her in the White House working on the problems that face this country? I say they cut her loose and give her a job on Saturday Night Live immitaing Tina Fey.

    You bring up Hillary Clinton.   Do you think it's odd that the Republicans demand "deference" for Gov. Palin, when over the years, even back to the White House, we have seen Hilary Clinton called many nasty words by people in Congress and in the media.  They called her a "bitch," and even a "femi-nazi," and a "dyke" and so on and so on.  They attacked Sen. Barney Frank and called him "Barney Fag."  They continue to use the word "Liberal" like an epithet or deviant label.  They have ridiculed Obama's name and called him a Muslim Arab among other things...   They clearly don't see gays and lesbians as being equal, normal citizens, but as subjects of pity. 

    I could go on... but do you get my point?  I think its ironic to use the word "deference," when the Republicans have attacked the very person and dignity of many Democratic individuals.
