I'd hit it.

But not vote for it.

Srsly. She's gorgeous. She's also just sort of a female version of George Bush.

Definitely counter-balances the old-boys-club and geezerness that John McCain has going on though. More "maverick-like" again.

Knowing how idiotic how people are in general I'm positive this helped John McCain gain tons of votes and be able to compete much better with Obama.

I'd vote for her, if only for the fact that she loves firing people who aren't doing their damned jobs.





... And she hunts moose.

So many idiotic Hillary supporters will jump on this bandwagon blindly just to see a woman as VP methinks. Then they'll BAW when she wants their kids to learn that an invisible man in the sky making all the life on the planet is just as viable as Evolution, if not more so.

Exactly my thoughts.

Wasn't her position that it was healthy to discuss creationism if it came up in class, but that there was no reason to make it part of the curriculum?

The volatile issue of teaching creation science in public schools popped up in the Alaska governor's race this week when Republican Sarah Palin said she thinks creationism should be taught alongside evolution in the state's public classrooms.

Palin was answering a question from the moderator near the conclusion of Wednesday night's televised debate on KAKM Channel 7 when she said, "Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of information. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both."


......

"It's OK to let kids know that there are theories out there," she said in the interview. "They gain information just by being in a discussion."

"Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of information. "Healthy debate is so important and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both. And you know, I say this too as the daughter of a science teacher. Growing up with being so privileged and blessed to be given a lot of information on, on both sides of the subject -- creationism and evolution. It's been a healthy foundation for me. But don't be afraid of information and let kids debate both sides."

She has mentioned before that if it comes up, it should be discussed. So i can't make sense as to whether or not she wants both atught equzally or she only wants it taught if it comes up.

so, yeah, can't figure out if this is a bad thing or not.

Still boggles my mind with her views on womans rights and gay rights tho P:

I was taught creation in school. One day when we got to the topic of the beginning of life, the teacher said, "There's this other idea, called 'creationism' which teaches that a divine being put life here on earth. We won't go into detail about it, because the way it's taught varies depending on your religion, but the basic idea is that we were placed here, fully formed..." blah blah blah, I forget, but it was a pretty respectful little discussion that didn't even focus specifically upon Christian creation myths. There was even a paragraph explaining it in my text book. Kids were allowed to ask questions, state their own beliefs on the matter, and then we moved on to evolution.

I don't really see anything wrong with that method.

I do agree it's weird that she's against abortion though. You'd think five kids would change her mind and she'd start drowning them in buckets after a while. :\

She lied about all the facts and she gave permition to hunt wild-life to near extinction.

Her fan base of white woman is from her being a white woman.

That may be but mcaine only chose her for the female vote. while obama chose his vp wisely. If obama wanted the female vote he would go for hilary but he chose an acutal smart vp. NOT to mention shes a unhealthy gun nut.

He also chose her because she was the only one who wouldn't strongly divide the party, unlike the other people who were on his short list. She seems to have the kind of convictions that make a good VP for the Republican party. Experience not-withstanding - nobody has experience being president or vice president until they get the job. That's what the cabinet is for!

"Unhealthy gun nut"? Please explain what this term is supposed to mean. I heard that moose is much better for you than beef since it's not full of steroids and growth hormones. :)

I will admit you are right about dividing the party. But experience wise what i mean is she hasent even been governor for that long. There are a lot more people that have more experience in the political career then what she has. And what i mean about a unhealthy gun nut is she gave permission to hunt wild life to near extinction. She also has a shoot first ask questions later attitude which may cause judgemental problems with the war in iraq or other problems america may have. I have nothing against eating moose and hunting just hunting to the point of where a species dies off because of it.

I think you're making an irrational leap to assume her attitude toward predator control has anything to do with her opinions on issues of international relations. If predators were allowed to become so numerous that they became a serious and everpresent danger toward human communities then that would most assuredly lead to their eradication through fear and anger. Culling them early is a wise solution for the sake of both human populations and the predator species themselves. It's the mark of a leader with foresight to go ahead and take the initiative to control a situation before it gets out of hand, instead of waiting for the people to be crying for blood before taking action.

Again, what does experience have to do with it? No experience can really directly prepare someone for the offices of president and vice president. The most important things for those offices are personal vision and leadership qualities, things that Palin has shown she has. I think it is far more important for America that she has common sense (which she seems to have abundantly), and leadership than to be experienced in being "a politician". We've had enough goddamned politicians, and they have so far not been very good at leading this country.
