4 - Sarah Pain (yes pain)

So today Sarah Palin met with some foreign leaders and the McCain campaign tried to stop the media from getting any access to it. They attempt to stop freedom of the press, given to us in the first amendment. The media revolted and they gave in, obviously, but the fact that they would even try to stop the press in horrible.

I’m sure that Mrs. Palin isn’t the one really doing all of this of course, so I can’t exactly hate her for it. However that doesn’t mean I don’t hate her. In fact, I think it is about time to go into everything I hate about her. For a quick list; lies, radical religious views, stands on issues.

Lets start with the lies. As I mentioned in my previous blog, her whole thing about the “bridge to no where” is a flat out lie. She was FOR the bridge. That isn’t all though, there is this stupid little thing about her firing some chef because tax payers shouldn’t be paying for that or something. Of course, she didn’t actually fire the lady, she just hired her under a different job title. And of course her jet that she sold on e-bay, only, she didn’t sell it on e-bay. She actually tried to sell it on e-bay a few times and no one would buy it so they sold it offline and used an aircraft broker to help.

Ok, radical religious views time. This lady is crazy religious, and said that it is God's will to have a pipeline built in Alaska.

I mean, sure, I have nothing against religion, I have nothing against people praying for things, etc. But to say that it is "God's Will" is just ridiculous. I already think its ridiculous to think that the bible is perfect and all the stuff in it is God’s words, especially considering how much of the stuff people admit is interpretation. So to say that something like building a pipeline is God’s Will is crazy, you just can’t know, and there is nothing in the bible even slightly hinting at the fact that God could will such things. She even goes on to say, in that video I linked up there, that our government is sending our army on a task from God. Now I’m no Christian but aren’t Christians supposed to be against war? And killing? And all that other shit our military is doing?

Alright and lastly her stance on issues. This is the real kicker for me. To put it simply, she is just like McCain on everything except a few issues, and on those issues she is only more extreme then McCain. She is against abortion of any kind for any reason; rape, incest, serious health problem, TOO BAD. She for all the policies that got us into this economic depression America is in now. She is against a timeline to bring out soldiers home from Iraq. She is for privatizing social security. She is, and this is one of the most amazing things, AGAINST equal pay for equal work for women.

Somehow people like her though. I read an article the other night at www.salon.com, that was about peoples opinions on voting with Palin in the mix.
“Some former supporters of Hillary Clinton expressed excitement about Palin -- but gender was secondary. To them, she seems a fresher, more maverick, more populist agent of change now than Obama (who has endured media scrutiny, including revelations and rumors about his past, for more than a year and a half). Although some don't share Palin's far-right positions on social issues, or weren't fully aware of them, they were willing to overlook that.”
When I read that I wanted to puke. Sarah Palin is the polar opposite of Hillary Clinton. What the fuck is wrong with people? If I like granny smith apples and I hate oranges, but I can only choose between fuji apples and oranges, WHY THE FUCK WOULD I PICK THE ORANGE?!?!
