Sarah Palin

My God. I can't believe Palin is McCain's VP pick. Low blow. Very low blow. I hope Biden shreds that Creationist, right-wing, fundamentalist weirdo a new one in the debates. If McCain's campaign manager thinks that he's going to lure Hillary voters with that pro-life, NRA-card-carrying fertility bank he's out of his mind. Cleaning up corruption is all well and good, but that woman actually has some totally outrageous beliefs.

From the Wikipedia entry on Palin: "In June 2008, Palin spoke at her former church. On the topic of Iraq, she asked that people pray for the soldiers and that "there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan." In regards to a proposed natural-gas pipeline she said, "I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built."[110] On August 17, Palin was in attendence when David Brickner, the leader of Jews for Jesus, gave a guest sermon claiming that terrorism against Israel is due to the disbelief in Jesus by its Jewish population;[111][112][113][114] according to a McCain campaign spokesman, Palin rejected his views.[115]" What else could you expect from a woman who's married to a BP employee. Has this woman been sadistically, methodically brainwashed by the oil executives for whom her husband works or does she really believe this crap?

Perhaps it was a fit of postpartum depression that led her to the odd decision to name her down-syndrome infant "Trig," in sarcastic reminder of either A.) that type of math that he will never be able to do or B.) a personal wink/nod to the NRA using her own offspring's very name to advertise a part of their signature icon. Only a jarring, ill-breeding malignancy of a woman could have thought of such a name for her child. The others got much better names: Track, Bristol, Willow, and Piper. Sucks for this family of pro-life poster children that little 17-year-old Bristol can't wait until marriage to get knocked up. That's right. Palin announced that Bristol and her 17-year old boyfriend Levi Johnston were getting married following the public disclosure of Bristol's pregnancy out of wedlock.

You've just dug yourself a grave, McCain, if you think the voters are stupid enough not to call your bluff. You're putting her in there as a last-ditch effort to pack your ballots with female moderates. You have a VERY low opinion of their intelligence, obviously. If they vote you in, they'll deserve the backlash to pre-Darwinian, counter-Scientific, pregnant/barefoot/chained-to-the-stove-style "family" tribalism modus of society that will descend on America if you come to power. I mean, voting with Bush while calling yourself a "maverick" (did you actually look up the meaning of this word in the dictionary before you chose it for your slogan?) is bad enough, but SARAH PALIN? You're out of your mind. I'm very, VERY scared of the America you want to create.
