Sarah Palin
I've been hearing a lot of Sarah Palin talk, so I'm going to put my two cents in.
Personally, I disagree with just about every word that comes out of her mouth. These views include:
1. She is pro-life even in the case of rape and incest
2. She is opposes gay rights
3. She opposes sex education
4. She believes that Creationism should be taught in schools (I'm Christian, but I don't think those views should be pushed on everyone)
5. She is pro-death penalty
6. She opposes the use of all birth control in every situation (yes, condoms, too), including being used by married couples
And a couple things she's done that I disagree with:
1. She opened the Arctic National Wildlife Refugee to oil drilling
2. She fired someone because they divorced her sister
3. She sued the Bush administration for putting polar bears on the Endangered Species list and opposed the placement of beluga whales on this list because it would interfere with oil drilling
4. While mayor, she fired city employees that didn't support her re-election
On top of that, for those who are doubtful of Obama for his lack of experience, Sarah Palin has even less. She was mayor of a very small town in Alaska (which, after her wake as mayor is in financial ruin, by the way) and Governer for less than two years. Tons of issues we aren't even sure of her standing on because she has so little experience she hasn't even been able to issue a statement on them. She also has no foreign policy experience. At all.
She also said herself that she has not thought much about the war in Iraq. For someone who could be a heartbeat away from presidency, that's not good.
And although I don't think people's personal lives have much to do with how they'd perform politically, for someone who believes that gays are ruining the sanctity of marriage, Palin cheated on her husband. That's contradictory of both her abstinence-only sex education plan and her views on gay rights.
It's pretty clear that McCain only picked her because of her gender. For those of you who believe it's important that we have a woman with some sort of president title attached, come on. Women have exactly the same rights as men do now, and worldwide hold many important offices.

This is what we do:
We shoot Sarah Palin from a helicopter.
And we let John McCain die on his own since he's old anyway.
Then we make Obama presidededededednt. :D

Holy crap, that's messed up. I don't believe she's right for the job, but it's not really up to me to decide. I just hope that if she does end up as VP that she the USA some good.

This is why, if the Republicans win, I'll be moving to Canada.
This lady is just off the wall insane, you'd think McCain would have the sense to choose someone slightly stable....

Best blog in a long time tbvh
I am not a fan of Miss Palin.

I find her very annoying tbqh
And thing she has to realize is that if McCain does become president, she's going to be VICE PRESIDENT, which last time I checked, doesn't exactly give her a whole lot of power to decide things for the country.

I basically said all of that in my Barack Obama blog but she's just dispicable. I mean, for God's sakes, woman, it's politics. The thing I admire about Barack, is that he says the press can say anything they want, but they can't ever say anything about his family.
Unlike Sarah Palin, who's daughter is all over the news. It's total bullsh*t. Because she's running for VP, the world shouldn't give a sh*t about her personal life, because this is politics.
She's incompetent, she's rediculous and she's just stupid. For God's sake, I'm sent to a public school for the sole purpose of learning everything BUT religion. That's why they have catholic schools, to teach religion THERE. But not in MY school. I have no religion, and my parents say if they ever teach religion I'm home-schooled.
She obviously has no idea what she's doing, and is not a good person at all for the VP choice.
