Oh Ellen I heart you! Blog 5

Now days there are some pretty controversial shows on day time television. One in which I take a particular likening to is The View. This show is great because there are five completely different talk show personalities that reign on the show. The five co-hosts are, Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Sherri Shepherd. These women wake up go to their job and talk about the main issues that are hot topics in the media and in society in general. For instance today they got in a 15 minute argument over how each of them predicted Gov. Palin might do during Thursday’s debate. I mean if you want to get anyone heated up over a topic POLITICS would be it. Now Whoopi is a strong feminist and she was concerned about Palin representing the Republican Party because of how Palin responded to Katie Couric's interview questions a few days ago. Just for the record that interview was quite a blunder in my opinion and many other people’s opinions as well. It was a blunder because Palin was not answering with clear or concise answers. Actually, her answers did not even make much since. I know I shouldn’t but I feel for the woman, she is being scrutinized for her every move and if she were to get elected in to the white house with Mc Cain it would only get worse for her. But that is the card you receive for accepting the nomination. Any way back to the view… so today the co- hosts got very fiery about Palin’s previous interview with Mrs. Coric and also they were slightly yelling in disagreement over how they thought Palin would do on Thursday’s debate against Biden. Every host on the show seemed to be a democrat except for Elisabeth who is the youngest woman on the show this caused for major arguments. In the end Elisabeth had no chance in winning because she could not provide enough background information in support of the Republicans.
In my house hold (which consist of just two people (my roomy and I) we have arguments over politics and it can get pretty heated. For instance, I was speaking with my roomy and she stated that she was not going to vote during this election and I looked at her in shock, then I replied WHY? She stated that she felt that she should not have the right to vote in this election because she did not know enough about each candidate, thus showing me that she did not want to put in the effort to research them out. I looked at her and said; look I would highly recommend that you put in 20 minutes of research and vote for a candidate because the women who fought for your right to vote would not be pleased if they heard you neglecting you right as a woman to vote. I mean c’mon take advantage of your rights and vote wisely. Like Ellen DeGeneres said “Laugh, dance, vote”. At the end of the voting day I feel that in order to make our ancestors who fought for our rights proud all women who are able to should vote. It just makes sense.
