Yep, this pretty much sums up this extremist yahoo.
Actually, not even. I left off a lot of the Jerry Springer-esqe family stuff, and there are those who claim that Palin is a dominionist--interested in turning the country into a theocracy. I haven't seen any proof of that--it's all guilt-by-association type stuff, but it's certainly not unbelievable.
My initial take was that she's the next iteration of a Republican token thrown up as a kind of anti-abuse shield (or to piss off the left). It wouldn't be the first time, but the vice presidency is a little different from judgeships--one really does have an experience requirement, and the other is more about demonstrating the right skill set--and it's not like a bait-waving fluffball as the number 2 was unusual before Al Gore.
Listening to her (cough) evolving positions on earmarks and on the famous bridge over there, I'm thinking expediency suits her fine whatever else she claims to believe, and she speaks effectively, pretty much the #1 and #2 requirements for office, so may actually be a good (and possibly lucky) choice. Their biggest problem is that she's a lot more interesting than McCain.
Here's a great post I think you'll enjoy:http://www.dannygregory.com/2008/09/my_vote.php
Keifus, I'm afraid that passing time would make it seem that Palin was an excellent choice for a candidate that is concerned only with winning.
