Now that all the initial excitement has calmed down, and we now know more about her, what are the thoughts?
Personally, you vote for her, you are voting against our very freedoms.
This woman has tried to ban books from the library.
She has fired people because they "were not loyal".
She works against proper birth control, advocating abstinence only, which doesn't work (her own family is evidence of that).
In a move toward dictatorship, someone like her would be the next step after Bush.
She is a disgusting ploy to try to get the female voters and the act of picking her as a VP is extremely sexist.
And their attempts to argue her foreign experience is just ridiculous. That "she lives right next to Russia" is even being used as an argument against the lack of foreign experince is appaling and a dissapointment.
Ofcourse, I won't be surprised if she gets in. With our elections already being manipulated, it'll be like the last two elections all over again.
The problem Fabian is that we don't know enough about her. The same goes for McCain as well. I have yet to hear within all of their speeches a solid plan as to what to do about the future of OUR country. The democrats, green party, and the liberals (sorry if i left people out) have all come up with at least some sort of plan on how to help the country for hte better in the future. With the republican campaign we basically get 95% smear. Again this is usually how they play it.
As for Palin I know that she supports everything I am against from Abortion to Creationism. Yet she has not come up with anything short of "Don't vote for Democrats".
Overall I would not vote for here even if you Tortured me! (Pun intended ). I will be voting for Obama simply because the party system is rigged and we will be stuck with a democrat or a republic. The support for the other parties is simply not there. So yes It will come down to the lesser of two evils, and I believe that Obama can help the country because I don't think he could make it any worse.
Obama and Clinton going for the party leader nomination and Republicans go "ZOMG Affirmative Action ploy!" Then Palin becomes the Republican VP candidate and they go "ZOMG you don't like her your sexist!!!"
How stupid do they think everyone is? The Republican party is rife with hypocrisy.
You're worried about our freedoms yet you're supporting Obama/Biden?
Even if Palin was a man, she would still be the best bet to get a good hold on the conservative base thus allowing to allow McCain to extend further into the middle without worrying about the "home front."
It's atrocious that so many people are a slave to the two party system...but it is what it is.
I'm not a "conservative" by any means and would rather be voting for someone else....but with that said, I'm not disillusioned when I vote for McCain. I know what I'm getting.
If you vote for Obama, you are unknowingly voting against our freedoms.
If anything Obama is a move toward a socialist like nanny state. If you remember, Biden was even the original architect of the assault weapons ban...which, if you know anything at all about firearms and crime, was a complete joke. At best Obama will be another Jimmy Carter.
I'm sorry but less government in my business, lower taxes, and the right to defend myself and family means more to me than some imaginary Utopian society.
Idealism is awesome...until it overrides your sense of realism .
