Palin is the most socially, environmentally, ethically & fiscally REGRESSIVE candidate possible
Boy, she is really the total package. It's hard to believe that they found everything so perfectly contained in one human being.
She's the standard if you want to recreate your town's Pioneer Days celebrations every day of the week.

SOCIALLY
Women are thrown under the train: abstinence only sex education for children, abortions outlawed even in cases of rape and incest.
She wants to teach creationism in schools and apparently she is a fan of book banning and firing librarians.

ENVIRONMENTALLY
She does not believe that man made elements contribute to global warming, wants to shoot wolves from planes, drill in Anwar etc. She also sounds like the perfect person to carry on the hunting traditions of Dick Cheney and her preferred decor is dead animal.

ETHICALLY
It appears she was almost subject to a recall as mayor of her small town for getting rid of the police chief and librarian when she didn't feel they supported her politically. She carries on that fiefdom mentality and manages to come under an ethics cloud very quickly into her term as governor for abusing her position in trying to get her former brother in law dismissed from troopers. Her account conflicts greatly with the account of the police chief she fired when he wouldn't kowtow to her demands. Now subject to investigation and special prosecutor. Also former head of 527 for our great friend Ted Stevens

FISCALLY
Supported Bridge to Nowhere before she didn't support it. Left town of Wasilla deep in debt over bungled Sports Complex.


SUMMARY
She's the worst thing that could ever happen to women, the environment, our children, our budgets, and any hope for having a corruption free government. The American public is being sold a complete bill of goods and she is the OPPOSITE of how they are presenting her.

Sarah Palin = REGRESSIVE

2. Which is why she was selected
She is shoring up the regressive religious right and their desire to impose their backwards primitive views.

3. Makes her the perfect Republicon
Socially oppressive, screw the environment type who has no ethics. And to top it off, she knows nothing about budgets outside the house.

4. If we lose this opportunity because some folks want to throw it all away
doing gynocological exams of Sarah and her daughter, I just don't know what I will do. I will give up, I guess. I will find some little island, wrap myself in shawls and stare blankley at the ocean while I ruminate about how we managed to screw up yet another one.

I meant to comment in that thread, but then I lost it.

9. She is scary-right
Also, she seems to be 'Alaska first, USA a long way second, rest of the world nowhere!' Even if she does live not so far from Russia.

And she's a Buchanan supporter; i.e. near-fascist.

Ugh.
