I just have to say something about all this. The woman just annoys the SHIT out of me.
Dude, she actually sued the federal government to take polar bears off the endangered species list. So they could drill for oil in the bears' habitat.This is what Ursula Vernon has to say on the topic.
Now, on top of that, Palin advocates abstinence-only sex education, which is just absolutely retarded. Anyone who knows anything about teenagers knows that telling them to use a condom isn't going to "confuse" them about whether or not they should be having sex. Perhaps the most ridiculous thing is that any abstinence-only program that's funded by the government is required to teach kids that "sexual activity outside of the context of marriage is likely to have harmful psychological and physical effects."
Yes. Having sex without being married will make you insane.
OR MAYBE JUST READING ABOUT THE ALASKA GOVERNOR WILL DO THAT.
I'd also like to briefly mention her children, though I know Obama has said people's families are off-limits. She advocates abstinence-only sex education for teenagers, and is against abortion, but she's got an unmarried 17-year-old daughter who still hasn't finished high school. Look... I just think... if you're supporting abstinence-only sex education, not to mention the values of being married before having sex, maybe you shouldn't have an example of how you've failed at those goals as your own daughter. I'm NOT saying Bristol Palin has failed (it's not her fault no one taught her to use a condom), and while I'm sure her life is going to be ridiculously difficult from here on out, it's her choice. The problem I have is with Sarah Palin's abilities as a mother, which leave me little faith in her ability to lead a country.
And she has a 4-month-old baby with Down's Syndrome. How is she going to take care of this child if she's off being Vice President? I was under the impression that raising a baby took a lot of time and effort, more so for children with special needs. Maybe this is me actually being a little bit sexist, but I think a child that young and with such problems deserves to have his mother around.
Also... Trig? They named him Trig?
If she gets elected I'm jumping ship. I'm sure Europe has plenty of space for a nice young girl like me. Unless I'm too psychologically damaged from my out-of-wedlock sex.

Date: 2008-09-02 09:06 pm (UTC)From:If you have been watching facebook at all, I posted like 4 or 5 articles about her (with comments).
The arrogance and assholery of picking any old person with two X chromosomes in order to leech off disaffected Clinton voters is luckily glaringly transparent to just about everybody.
The "angry Clinton" voters (I have my doubts as to how statistically significant this group even is) have even LESS of a reason to vote against their own interests as women now that McCain has once more shown that he doesn't really care about respecting women or heck..even the vice presidency.
As a political science major, I could go off on this forever basically. To keep this short and sweet = I agree. :)

But That Woman (as she shall from now on be called) makes my blood boil. There are so many, many things wrong with her. She's fucking up my state, and now she wants to fuck up my country? BEYOND what's happened to it in the last 8 years? *bangs head repeatedly on desk* Please, oh please, undecided voters, do just the tiniest bit of research on this woman before you vote for her....

http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archive/2008/08/29/did-palin-really-fight-the-bridge-to-nowhere.aspx
2) The irony of a pork barrel politicking woman on a ticket with a guy who is supposedly rabidly AGAINST pork barrel spending!!!!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/01/AR2008090103148.html?hpid=topnews
3) The reality that Palin's role in the Alaska National Guard does NOT give her foreign policy experience or military command experience (as some have ridiculously claimed)
http://www.vetvoice.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=1829
4) Palin calls for "executive privilege" and Bush-type secrecy (why am I not surprised?)

Anyway. *hugs* When exactly are you due, again?

Date: 2008-09-03 03:38 pm (UTC)From:Yesterday during the convention coverage they interviewed some women on the streets who were obviously addled by having out-of-wedlock sex, because most of them were saying how they can relate to her, and one woman said that she used to chose a woman as a VP! Vagina voters should be prohibited from casting their votes, I swear. I am ashamed for my gender.
Holy shiiiit
