That’s the only way I can describe what I just saw at the RNC. Sarah Palin may THINK she can convince middle America that she’s cool, feisty, and whatever… Sorry, Sarah, I’m not chancing voting for a ticket that includes a candidate who banned books from public libraries, advocates pro-life in ALL circumstances (including rape and incest), and pushes abstinence only programs in public schools despite the fact that THAT education clearly didn’t work for HER children.
I just reviewed the following video to remind me what I’m pushing for:
I’m still transfixed with the current political drama.
Ya know, at first I was interested in learning more about Sarah Palin, up until I learned about her Pro-Life stance. From that point on, I decided that I would NOT be voting for McCain under any circumstances. And to be completely honest, prior to that, I couldn’t help but kind of like the guy. I agreed with his perspective on pulling out of Iraq and leaving our soldiers high and dry. I liked his biography (minus the whole cheating on his first wife, who waited for him for 5 years while he was in a cell in Vietnam thing). I liked his ability to cross the aisle…and though I wasn’t exactly a Lieberman fan, I liked that McCain wanted to make the ballsy move of choosing him for VP.
But now? Now? There’s no way in HELL that I’ll jump party lines to offer any kind of support to yet ANOTHER Right wing Christian. Didn’t we all already learn the hard way that a leader who governs with a Bible instead of the effin’ Constitution gets us into some pretty murky places??
Palin’s church video makes Reverend Wright’s debacles look like a walk in the park.
