Sarah Palin?
So. Elections are coming up and McCain's chosen a VP candidate that no one's ever heard of. Now everyone's talking about lipstick quotes (??) and hockey moms and how she's "really hott" or whatever, but I haven't heard too much about her stance on some issues. In my opinion, I think that McCain chose her mostly because she's a) a woman and b) young. But I dunno.
Here's what I've heard about her:
- Pro-life, even in rape cases (the only exception is if the mother's life is in danger)
- Against same-sex marriage and she says that "spousal benefits are reserved for married citizens as defined in the Constitution"
- Wants schools to teach Creationism
- Wants to take polar bears off the endangered species list because it would adversely affect energy development in Alaska
- Supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
- Created "Loyalty Day" in Alaska to celebrate American heritage
- Doesn't think that climate change is linked to people in any way
- She said "alternative energy solutions are far from imminent and would require more than 10 years to develop", but developing the new domestic oil resources that she supports (offshore drilling, drilling in Alaska, etc.) would take at least that long to set up
Eh. What do you people think about her?

But some of us have no religion whatsoever.
i never said i do have a religion. i don't. but i do think that if we have to learn about muslim, and other religions, then yeah, creationism should be thrown in. i'm not even a christian, but i think if schools teach about one religion, then they should teach 'em all. and god used to be a part of public schools, they're just removing him now. and throwing everything else in.
and about the rape issue, why should an unborn child have to give it's life up just because someone else doesn't wanna carry it? yeah, it's sad if a 12 year old gets raped then pregnant, but why should the baby have to pay for it? but i only say this because i believe abortion is murder. that's just my opinion.

Woah, woah, woah, Andie.
But some of us have no religion whatsoever. I don't believe in any of that creation sh*t at all. No God, Jesus or anything along those lines. It's all made up in my eyes. That's why we have public schools, for people who don't have religion. We have Catholic and other religious schools for teaching creationism. My parents pay a sh*tload of money in school books, and taxes and just getting me through school. And wasting their money on having some teacher preach to me about something I don't believe in one bit is just wrong. Just even proposing it makes me angry. It had better stay out of my school, or I WILL be angry.
And I'm for abortion if there's rape. I believe if a 12 year old girl gets pregnant because she's raped then yes, she should have that choice. If someone gets pregnant becasue they're careless, then that's different. But in the case of rape, I think abortion is an okay solution.

McCain chose her because she's a woman, you've got that right. But seriously...does he really think he can win over the women who are pissed because Hillary lost to Obama? The women who wanted Hillary to win are mostly feminists, which means they most likely are pro-choice. As we've learned, Palin is not. So McCain made a stupid and extremely poor decision in choosing her. He'll win a couple of Republican women votes, but I highly doubt it'll be enough to put him in office.

I agree with andie about her being pro-life.
I think creationism should be taught in schools, as well as other theories.
I wish she'd change her views on homosexuality, but to each their own
and whats wrong with her creating a holiday to celebrate American heritage?

what's wrong with creationism being taught in schools? we learn about evolution, mormonisn, muslim, catholicisn, paganism, and more, so why shouldn't we learn about creation?
and i agree with her about the rape issue. life's not fair, but don't punish an unborn baby and take away it's chance at life just because yours didn't go as planned. and anyways, the statistics of pregnancy after rape isn't that great. but yes, i do agree with her on that.
i do disagree with her on the homosexual thing tho. americans haven't been living faithfully by the constitution for years, so i don't see what another thing has to do with it.
but she's kinda ignorant on all the alaska issues. our earth is dying already because of us, so why speed up the death sentence, ya know.

I don't like her at all. She needs to go back to Alaska where she can only f*ck up her own state and not a whole country.

yeah i basically said the exact same thing in my blog.
she's simply not fit to run the country.

I've said it a million times, but I most definatley won't be ashamed of saying it again.
Sarah Palin is stupid. That's it, she's just plain stupid.
It's obvious that she has NO right being anywhere near the White House with McCaine, and it's also obvious she knows nothing about foriegn relations, the issues America is facing and big oil issues.
Another thing, her daughter is in the news as much as she is and it's totally rediculous. One thing (out of problably a million) that I adore about Obama, is that he says the press can bash him or say whatever the want about him, but they need to leave his family alone.
Sarah Palin's daughter is being forced to marry the father of her baby, because her mom said so. It's totally rediculous all of this nonsense she's bringing her daughter into.
She obviously has no experience, no right to be a politician, and is just... Stupid.
She's going to ruin our country.
OBAMA '08.
