I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah
Palin.
I couldn't be more supportive of a woman in office, but let's
face it, it comes down to the person, and their beliefs, male
or female.
Is it a sin to be gay? Should it be a sin to be straight? Or
to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even
to have a child out of wedlock?
I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to
be second in command of the United States, only 4 years ago
had aspirations to be a television anchor. Which is probably
all she is qualified to be... Also interesting that she got
her passport in 2006.. And that she is not fond of
environmental protection considering she's FOR drilling for
oil in some of our protected land.... Well hey, if she wants
to drill for oil, she should DO IT IN HER OWN backyard. This
really shows me her complete lack of real preparation to
become the second most powerful person in this country.
Hmmmm-All of this gets me going-Fear, Anxiety, Concern,
Disappointment, and Stress come into play...
Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a
narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?
I know that the most important thing about this election is
that people need to exercise their right to vote, regardless
of their choice... I would have liked to have remained
impartial, however I am afraid that the "lipstick on a
pig" comments will overshadow the issues and the fact
that I believe Barack Obama is the best choice, in this
election, for president...
Palin's Desire to "save and convert the gays"-really??
According to this Associated Press story, the church of Alaska
Governor Sarah Palin is hosting a kind of conference devoted
to the "conversion of Gays" -- no kidding.
Here's the AP text:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ? Gov. Sarah Palin's church is
promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into
heterosexuals through the power of prayer.
You'll be encouraged by the power of God's love and His desire
to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality,"
according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible
Church, where Palin has prayed since she was a child.
Palin's conservative Christian views have energized that part
of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain's
candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice.
She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape
and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for
gay couples.
I feel it's necessary for me to clarify that I am not against
Sarah Palin as a mother or woman.
Women have come a long way in the fight to have the choice
over what we do with our bodies... And its frightening to see
that a woman in 2008 would negate all of that.
Oh, and...Hint Hint Pali Pal- Don't pose for anymore tabloid
covers, you're not a celebrity, you're running for office to
represent our, your, my COUNTRY!
And in the words of Pamela Anderson, "She can suck it"..
Lindsay- "I have faith that this country will be all that
it can be with the proper guidance. I really hope that all of
you make your decisions based on the facts and what feels
right to you in your heart-vote for obama!"
Samantha- "I love this country- however i wasn't born
here and don't have the right to vote- so i beg of you all to
really do your research and be educated when you cast your
vote this coming november.... and if you're in doubt- vote for
obama! Mainly because if she gets elected my green card
probably won't get renewed!!!"
