monkeybardWant to meet the real Sarah Palin? Ask someone who knows. Guess what, McCain, I'm not voting for the right-wing fanatical crazy woman just because she has a uterous, you sexist fuckwad.
ETA: Oh! Just got this link from NARAL, too. How can anyone with a brain think the Republican leadership is anything but completely mad? If I'd ever been a Republican in my life, I would feel horribly betrayed by my party leaders. I'm not saying the Democratic Party is perfect--far from it. (If I ran the universe...) I am saying that at least Obama/Biden have SOULS and some sort of grasp on REALITY.
I'm more in fear for my state in this election, though, because it was so close between these same candidates last time. Dino Rossi is a horrible human being and I fear too many people won't bother to check what his record looks like. He's anti-choice, he's anti-marriage equality. He's said he'll rollback the domestic partnership legislation we already have in place. If he were elected governor ::shudder; horror:: he would plunge Washington State into a horrible retro-1950s type inequality state. I'm sick to death of seeing his smarmy smile on television. I'm sick to death of hearing all the bullshit ads on the radio. He keeps talking about not raising taxes - standard Republican lies - without bothering to explain where else he expects to get money to do necessary things like fix the roads and pay emeregency response workers. I am feeling the hate towards the man. WAKE UP, WASHINGTONIANS! Whether you like Gregoire or not, no intelligent, educated person can possible think this asshole would be better at her job. Write in Bill the Cat for all I care, just DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN.
(Yes it is all about "The horror! The horror!" today.)

Date: 2008-09-12 09:08 pm (UTC)I can appreciate you focusing on this one particular "opinion" of hers; her refusal to consider the needs of her own child in case of rape is just chilling. No daughter should suffer for her mother's religious beliefs, let alone her mother's political ambitions.
But keep looking, and listening, and spreading the word. This ticket is dangerous on so many other levels, inexperience being the chief one. She believes that you can "pray away the gay", which I take intense personal offense at, and she believes that creationism and intelligent design should be taught *in science class as competing theories with evolution*, which sends my husband around the bend. They have been thoroughly (and legally) shown to be Christian-religion-based ideas masquerading as science. They are not science.
George Bush in a dress? Yes.
