The following is op-ed by The New Agenda’s Amy Siskind is published at The Daily Beast. Is there an extra seat on Air Force One? Given women’s fury last week over the Stupak amendment, Speaker Nancy Pelosi should have hitched a ride with Obama out of town. But she did not. Sp...

I guess that is it for me. Talk about divisive. I thought The New Agenda would not permit the hot button issue of abortion to become one of the rant du jours. I also thought it would be non-partisan but I see praising of Sarah Palin as strong, and intelligent in blog after blog on The New Agenda despite her failings on the very issue that Pelosi is... Read More being scorned over. Yet no mention or request for accountability from Palin who continues to speak out on the issue that is clearly being used to divide.

Both parties have there failings but it has become clear that this organization has more of anti-Democratic slant than calling both parties equally into accountability. Please remove me from the membership rolls.

Women are not a monolithic group. There will always be issues and tactics that divide us just as their is for men, ethnic groups, religious groups........

The New Agenda is no different in this respect. You claim you're non partisan and take no stand on reproductive rights, but I agree with Marena on this. You'd be better off just owning up to your partisan beliefs!!

I'm off the list also!

She could have easily said, "Sure Stan, I'd be happy to take my turn at recording the minutes. And by the way my name is Jane and I'm the new Sr. Engineer here. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Well Sarah Palin is back in public life and the hate affair continues. In fact, it might even be gathering steam. As an avid Hillary Clinton supporter, I thought that I had seen it all in 2008...

Why are there so many articles on this feed about Palin? I agree that some articles have been sexist but really, this is not why I joined. Am removing myself from your "fans" list. Try writing about the REAL problems women face in our country and maybe I'll join again.

This was a picture for runners world mag and hardly constitutes using sex appeal. The media puts a sexual spin on Sarah in attempt to objectify and discredit her.

Elizabeth. Thanks. I know there are women and men who cannot support what appears to be somewhat of a double standard.

It's purely sexist trash. But I'm also honest enough to be honest that I can't agree with anyone who sees her as in the same category as Sec. Hillary Clinton in terms of being qualified to run on a Presidential ticket.

I don't hate her. She's just not qualified to hold public office.
