Drills, Drills, Drills is an article about the Republican candidate for Vice President, Governor Sara Palin. In the article the author expressed their opinion on Governor Palin and why she is not the best candidate for vice president along with the implications and consequences women would face if this type of tactics by men are allowed to continue. Women must learn to say no when they are aware that they're being used.

The feminist movement thrust women from the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant right into equal rights, fair treatment and the dream that they could be anything they wanted to be. People, especially women like Sarah Palin who were born in the 60's but unable to comprehend the era of this great movement must not be allowed to drag women backwards. Her views and believes are, in my opinion digressive. Men have used women to obtain their objectives for many years and for Governor Palin to play along with the tactics of Senator John McCain and the Republican Party, stating she was ready and able to run this county if anything should happen to McCain, was ridiculous. Her BS in communication journalism and her very limited knowledge of the law or foreign policy would hardly suffice when dealing with the complicated and complex issues we’re facing in this great nation.

Governor Palin allowed men to use her for their personal goal and whether that was to capture the votes of women or to play the “we’re a minority card too”, doesn’t matter, she should have rejected the nomination and thus not allowing herself to be a pawn in this male dominated game. This presidential election proved there are women who think we still live in the stone ages with Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubbles. Sara, take another look we’ve burned our bras and moved to a new century; evidently without you!
