She Sucks

Just so you know, here are a bunch of points Ms. Palin stood for:

• Palin recently said that the war in Iraq is “God’s task.” She’s even admitted she hasn’t thought about the war much—just last year she was quoted saying, “I’ve been so focused on state government, I haven’t really focused much on the war in Iraq.”
• Palin has actively sought the support of the fringe Alaska Independence Party. Six months ago, Palin told members of the group—who advocate for a vote on secession from the union—to “keep up the good work” and “wished the party luck on what she called its ‘inspiring convention.’”
• Palin wants to teach creationism in public schools. She hasn’t made clear whether she thinks evolution is a fact.
• Palin doesn’t believe that humans contribute to global warming. Speaking about climate change, she said, “I’m not one though who would attribute it to being manmade.”
• Palin has close ties to Big Oil. Her inauguration was even sponsored by BP.
• Palin is extremely anti-choice. She doesn’t even support abortion in the case of rape or incest.
• Palin opposes comprehensive sex-ed in public schools. She’s said she will only support abstinence-only approaches.
• As mayor, Palin tried to ban books from the library. Palin asked the library how she might go about banning books because some had inappropriate language in them—shocking the librarian, Mary Ellen Baker. According to Time, “news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving “full support” to the mayor.”
• She DID support the Bridge to Nowhere (before she opposed it). Palin claimed that she said “thanks, but no thanks” to the infamous Bridge to Nowhere. But in 2006, Palin supported the project repeatedly, saying that Alaska should take advantage of earmarks “while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.”

 

Sorry my blog is only about politics these days….but I feel like this is a very important election, and some things come to my attention I feel like I need to bring it up.

Ugh. Lately politics make me in a crappy / funky mood.  Once upon a time I thought D andI agreed on politics, and he was a liberal.  He voted for Kerry.  His views seem to be Democrat / liberal.  But he continues to fight me whenever Senator McCain is brought up.  I respect that he was a POW, but I dont think he should be elected as the next President of the free world because of it.  D seems tthink he can do no wrong. Makes me completely frustrated.  GRRRRr…..help ?!?!?!?!?!
