So, Sarah Palin. Do I really have to spell this one out? I didn't vote for Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama because of Senator Clinton's gender. I voted for Senator Obama for my own, internally-thought-out reasons, reasons with which I'm very comfortable. I'm not voting for McCain-Palin over Obama-Biden because the GOP claims to have forged ahead and shattered the glass ceiling. Last time I checked, Governor Palin stands on the opposite side of virtually every issue I hold dear - censorship, the right to choose (And can we please stop calling this pro-life and anti-abortion? I don't know anyone who's actually anti-life and pro-abortion. Let's call it what it is - pro-choice and anti-choice. Thanks.), thorough sex education for our kids in their schools, and the list goes on. Nothing on that list has a damned thing to do with her family, her choices in raising her family (there but for the grace of whatever you believe in go I), or the choices her family makes.
So let's be clear. Should McCain-Palin gain the White House in November, I will not be taking one iota of comfort or joy in the fact that a woman has attained the vice-presidency. I will be working counter to McCain-Palin's every move against my personal freedoms and those of my daughters.

Yep. We finally got off our butts and volunteered over the weekend, and we'll be back. It's important.

Hear, hear.
On another blog I read said:
"I agree we should all stay out of Bristol Palin's business. Sarah Palin should also stay out of mine."
Couldn't have said it better.
All of the talk about Bristol Palin, whether or not she was part of that Alaskan third party, whether or not her husband had a DUI 20 years ago is all irrelevant to me. What is relevant is the fact that she is completely unprepared to be president - and that's without even going into how repugnant I find the Republican party platform.
