Palin Goes to Debate Camp

That's sweet. I wonder if she and John-John toast marshmallows by the fire at night.

I really don't know if I'll be able to handle an entire 90 minutes worth of Sarah Palin stuttering through sound bites on Thursday night. I seriously can't listen to her - she's like one of those customer service representatives who is given a book of canned responses, and if one of those responses doesn't answer the question being asked, she loses all sense of speech and effectively keeps repeating, "try re-booting your device."

Palin Rant

I've just read the following article from New York magazine http://nymag.com/news/politics/powergrid/50277/, and it has reminded me that we should all be afraid - very afraid of the uninformed.

C’mon ladies, seriously? Supporting Sarah Palin simply because she’s a woman is a crock – and to be fair, I said the same thing about Hillary. Get informed. If you want to vote for McCain, fine - but do it because you have researched and agree with his platform and ideals, not because you like his running mate's kicky outfits and bouffant-y hair.

Fervent supporters of Sarah Palin are the reason why George W. Bush was elected to a second term, and why Rachel Ray has a career. I am consistenly reminded how backwards a good portion of our country still is.

OPEN YOUR EYES LADIES. Sarah Palin openly seeks to reverse Roe v. Wade. How any woman could possibly identify with someone who would seek to overturn a woman’s basic right to govern her own body is beyond me – whether you’re pro-choice or pro-life, what you choose to do with YOUR body should be your choice alone. Sarah Palin would take that right from you with two clicks of her shiny red heels.
