Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) says that if Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) becomes the first female vice president it will be a "backward step for women."

Asked by a local television reporter in Milwaukee, Wisconsin if electing Palin would be a step forward for women, Biden said, "well look, I think the issue is what does Sarah Palin think? What does she believe?"

"I assume she thinks and agrees with the same policies that George Bush and John McCain think," Biden added. "And that's obviously a backward step for women."

2. Biden is hitting them out of the park

with his comments on Palin and McCain. He's staying focused on the ISSUES, which will sink the GOP.

6. He is speaking the truth, its exactly how I feel and what I have told every single female that dares

to bring her up in a positive manner...my God, what is wrong with some women these days? After all this time, some are still so clueless it's almost insulting to our gender..

10. "she's just like me"

I just heard it again from some woman being interviewed on my local news show... pointing out that Palin is a PTA mom, blah, blah, blah... and I want to tear my hair out. Palin speaks for no woman! She's more of a sexist pig than any neanderthal misogynist swine there is, and it's even worse because Palin herself is a woman.

Obama needs an ad spread far and wide that this sexist pig is a wolf in sheeps clothing and is anything but "just like me".

7. Good for you, Joe!

I agree 100%. I shudder to think what will happen if Palin gets in. She should be exposed for what she is.

8. Palin is anti-woman according to her policies.

Biden is absolutely correct to call her out on her complete lack of support for women's issues. Hillary spoke to women's issues, while Palin (typical repuke) blames women for any inequalities we've experienced in the workforce, etc.

9. Tying that in with Bush's 'failed policies' - PERFECT! nt
