On Sarah Palin. I don't like her.

Shit. Although I staunchly believe that McCain's nomination of Sarah Palin is extremely transparent, it might be a good move on his part to try and reclaim some of his former (albeit completely false) status as a "maverick." I honestly think that the only reason he chose her is because of her gender in hopes to sway some of those nonexistent "disgruntled Hillary supporters." Sorry McCain, but just because she has a vagina doesn't mean that her policies suddenly become appealing. She's pretty much everything that someone who would support Hillary wouldn't want to have anywhere near the office. The only thing they have in common is their gender. THAT'S IT.

So for those of you who haven't done your Palin homework, here's a quick rundown of her abhorrent policies.

1. Anti-abortion even in cases of rape and incest
2. Anti gay marriage/rights
3. Pro teaching creationism as a GODDAMN SCIENCE EQUALLY AS VALID AS EVOLUTION. WHAT THE FUCK.
4. Pro drilling in Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge
5. Complained when Polar Bears were put on the endangered species list because of global warming melting their habitat
6. Doesn't believe in trying to make better more efficient sources of energy
7. Doesn't believe in global warming.
8. Supported stripping domestic partner benefits from homosexuals who are state officials
9. Does not support equal pay for men and women
10. Has a child with downs syndrome, but voted against funding special needs programs for children in schools
11. Has almost no experience (Governor of a town of 8,000 people since 2006. 2 years! GREAT!)


She also claims to "have gay friends," but in no way does she have any pro-gay policies. She's just a female McCain clone.

Honestly it's almost insulting to have her nominated just to sway female votes. It's condescending and acts like we women only vote for people who look like us and don't care about their policies.
