I am terrified...

[fairyrune]

If Sarah Palin gets into the White House, even as VP, I will be sorely tempted to move out of the country.

The woman scares the crap out of me. She has said that the war in Iraq is "God's will." I would love the opportunity to ask her what gives her the right to presume that she knows what "God's will" is.

I think she is a disgrace to American women. From what I've seen and read, it seems that she is all for taking away rights that women in this country have fought for years to acheive.

You don't like the idea of birth control? Fine. You don't have to use it. You think abortions are wrong? Fine. You don't have to get one. That is your choice, one that you have the freedom to make. Don't you dare try to take away that same freedom of choice from anyone else.

Everyone is always talking about China and their reproductive laws. You think China's bad, just wait until someone like Palin ends up in a position of power.

Hi! Who are you? How did you find me? I like to know these things. :)

I agree.

She scares the FUCK out of me. Also:

The Republican ticket seems like a comedy of errors this season. For President, you've got some fanatical jacktard who's CLEARLY clinically insane. Because it's a good idea to give crazy people The Button. For VP, you've got some half-brained twit who knows jack-all about how to run anything. I've read that during her little stint as mayor, she managed to rack up a $22 million dollar deficit.

I just wish the Democratic ticket excited me at all. It doesn't. Damn me for actually having a passing understanding of economics.

Freedom's becoming a thing of the past around these parts, darlin'. This country's gonna get to a scary place before too long.

Way I figure, we're picking between the lesser of two evils here. Either way, we still have a long way to go to get out of this mess we're in.

Anyone who even mentions trying to take away my right to birth control is the devil in my book. That's all.

I'm going to write in Kermit the Frog for Prez. : D
I can't vote for anyone on the ballot!

[fairyrune]

Heh. They're all puppets anyway, right?

I figure I'm just voting to keep Palin OUT of the White House.

I watched People vs larry Flyn last night.. And there major parts in that movie which relate today...
THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY!!
Choice is the major part of that freedom

Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."

That there? That's on the Jefferson Memorial. I love that quote.

Abstinence only education, banning abortions, and banning birth control would be a step backwards for this country.

We used to be the greatest country in the world. Now everyone else hates us, and for good reason.

I'm with you, my favorite was "Al-Qaida terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America ... he's worried that someone won't read them their rights? Government is too big ... he wants to grow it."


Sorry I am a big fan of the constitution.

WORD.

I really want to strangle that woman. She knows jack about American history, and she misinterprets the Bible to suit her needs.

She's a dangerous idiot.

[thunderemerald.livejournal.com]

Word.

[fairyrune]

Not to mention, she preaches about abstinence only education, but when people point out the fact that her teenage daughter got knocked up, that's suddenly a "private matter."

WTF?

[thunderemerald.livejournal.com]

I do agree about it being a private matter -- the daughter's life, that is -- but the FACT of the daughter's pregnancy is a giant wake-up call, saying that this woman does not pay attention to what's around her. She advocates abstinence-only education, when her daughter is living proof, RIGHT UNDER HER NOSE, that it DOESN'T WORK.

*grumble*

[fairyrune]

The fact of the matter is, if you are in the public eye, your family is too. It's how the world works, and you can't shelter them from the spotlight.

She's a hypocrite, through and through. I heard that she tried to pass her daughter's pregnancy off as her own at first. Dumbass.

[thunderemerald.livejournal.com]

That is definitely a fact, but I stil give super-special kudos to Obama for trying his best to be above familial commentary like that. Hey hey.

[fairyrune]

Well, his kid isn't knocked up. It's a little easier to avoid attention when you're not doing something like that.

[blueimber.livejournal.com]

There was speculation that Sarah's new-born son Trig was actually her daughter Bristol's baby, since in most shots of the family, Bristol's the one holding the child. Sarah distilled that notion by announcing Bristol's current pregnancy - like putting out a grease fire with alcohol. *rolls eyes*

I am right there with you on the strangulation thing; maybe a near death experience would knock some sense into her.

[fairyrune]

She's an idiot. I can't even stand the sight of her.

[rivendellelf23.livejournal.com]

Dood. I'm right there with you.

There's something about her that doesn't rub me the right way.

AND...her husband works for an oil company. Say goodbye to energy research.

[fairyrune]

Crap. We're all doomed.

[pinball351.livejournal.com]

Scaaaaary times.

Abstinence-only education??? Do people have a memory wipe at 35 that completely erases what it was like to be a teenager?

Banning birth control?? What, all forms? I'm going to have to read into that statement because it sounds a lot like she's pro-STDs. Just kill off all those sinners who have sex before marriage, that'll learn 'em.

And the abortion thing? It's the woman's body, DO NOT start trying to think you can dictate what she can or can't do with it.

But I also wish people could understand that pro-choice and pro-abortion do not mean the same thing. I'm all about responsibility. Don't wait until you're 8 months pregnant and go "whoops". Get induced, give the baby up for adoption. But if something goes wrong despite being careful? By all means, make the decision for yourself, and do it *early*. No one else should be able to make it for you.

WORD. Word to it all.

I couldn't agree more(lol, in fact I posted yesterday on this)

I did watch last night, and at first she seemed a very strong woman and had a few good things to say...then she got going and was mudslinging as much as any other politician(and never really did tell anything about what she things for important stuff). Strong in the WRONG way is what I decided, of course my gut already knew it!

[fairyrune]

I can't watch her speak. It makes me want to puke.
