I'd say we have a pretty definitive understanding of where Sarah Palin stands on issue of equality for our community. Sarah Palin is against recognizing our relationships, against domestic partner benefits, and against hate crimes laws. She championed that her second top priority in office would be preserving an anti-gay definition of marriage. The more we find out about her record, the more frightening her record becomes," said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese.
But they both have a vagina. What else do they need to share?
I don't think they share that, tekla. I believe each of them has a separate one. Definitely separate brains and at least one has a heart. Not sure about the Bullwinkle murderer though. :D

Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!
But that trick never works.
God, we can only hope the American Public has learned something from the Ward/Jay cartoons.
They are so freakin old, but still good, and I doubt America learned anything much from them the first time, forty years later? Well, that's prolly just a hopeless kinda wish. *sigh*
Too few will make the connection between Fearless Leader and McSame and Boris & Natasha and Sarah!

I am worried about our rites if McCain and Palin get into office. I do not really see any hope for Obama getting into office. He does not have the support that McCain has. Its going to be a sad day when they come into power. :-\
Oh ye of little faith, its already bad, its only a question as how it becomes worse.
McCain getting elected and then croaking the day after being inaugrated and Palin taking four years? That might well be much worse.
Butcha know, I'm getting bullish on Obama again. I truly believe he'll make it.

Look on the bright side, McCain might die as he is sworn in. That way Sarra - Caribou Barbie - could do the full president deal.
O, yes. That scenario is right at the top of my dream wish-list! :)

Oy, god/dess help us if that happens!
Might be a mass exodus to Canada... which since it's a neighboring state, I can see it, thus... yes, you guessed it, Z is qualified to be VP >:D

Yeah it has been a bad 8 years and I do not see it getting better. I whole heatedly would like to see a Democrat in the office. I am glad that Obama is for our rites as a whole. I mean Palin goes to a church that says they pray away the gay. LMAO. When I heard that I could not stop laughing and worrying all at the same time. My vote is for Obama.
If they are going to 'pray away the gay' I got some news for them from San Francisco.
A) you are not doing a good job at it.
B) God hates what you are praying for.
take your pick.
When president Palin is given the oath of office after president McCain passes, we all had better get used to wearing pink triangles on our coats.
Crystalnacht and the night of the long knives is just a start. But, just remember, that it's all in the name of Jesus...

But, darling, there's precedent for that "name of Jesus" stuff: The Inquisition, pograms across Europe against Jews from 390 CE onward, the various Crusades, the Massacre of Bezier, the Massacre at Jerusalem after the city was taken in the 1st Crusade, the Burning Times, ... need I continue? This is all very scriptural and holy as a means of "defending the Faith." tsk, tsk. You over-react, dearest Sandy!

Actually, I think we would see places like the Left Coast begin to talk about withdrawing from the United States.
Actually, I think we could see places on the east coast chat about withdrawing from the United States. (SF a city-state?!! Imagine the cost-of-living then!!!)

I read a piece by Naomi Watts on Huffpo that posits the idea that Palin is the face of the future dictatorship. Palin is compared to Evita as being the front for the fascists once McCant dies (probably with a secret service knife through the throat).
Anyway, Ms. Watts explains that destroying the Nation's finances is one of those steps that makes it easier to bring in Iraqi's as Police to replace american ones, and then it goes on from there. I almost had a heart attack because, when I'm weak, I'm susceptible to this kind of thinking. I still don't feel good.
My thought is that, unlike Argentina, we have national guards for each state, plus the gun nuts will be shooting the faces off the fascists as they come to their doors to disarm them. As long as we can break away from hellsville, we'll be okay.
I can't believe this is how I feel about my own stupid country. That it's out to get us all.
In reality, I don't believe in nations, boundries, or flags, but I did appreciate where I live because it was a nice place. Once. Not perfect, but nice. There was hope.

Scary thought, but I could see that happening. Europe is looking better every day.
except for the part referred to as "France"
Great articles on Sara
Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she's a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power.
Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she's the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV -and this country is going to eat her up, cheering her every step of the way. All because most Americans no longer have the energy to do anything but lie back and allow ourselves to be jacked off by the calculating thieves who run this grasping consumer paradise we call a nation.

And this one about her views on religion.
"To understand Sarah Palin, you have to realize that she is a religious fundamentalist," said Howard Bess, a retired liberal Baptist minister living in Palmer. "The structure of her understanding of life is no different from a Muslim fundamentalist."

whoa.
I read 2 points of view on why she wouldn't fund rape kits for rape victims. One is because she doesn't want to hand out morning after pills, and the other because she believes there is no such thing as rape (of a woman) because women are on earth to serve men.
I'm not saying these are really true, but it is creepy.
This fits with her taking a governor position then having her husband make many of the decisions.
I liked those vicious articles.
OK, I'm in a frightening quandary here.
I admit I love the ideals of my nation, freedom of thought and religion, pursuit of Shalom and all that jazz. I also believe that America has been voting to turn itself into a Fascist dictatorship at lightspeed. I can't conscience running to Canada without a fight, but I also admit, that being in Alaska, it's hard not to eye that border a hop skip and jump away. I just wonder when they'll rename us Amerika and build a wall to keep us in. Maybe that's an exaggerated fear, but I want to put up a good fight before I flee. It's just that the Stupid around here in Alaska is so thick you could cut it with a rubber spoon.
well now. I'm just going to have to tell everyone in Alaska that you said that.
You'll be lucky if they don't use a spoon on you! ;)

Well, you guys seemed to move at least part of the 'stupid" down to the lower 48 with the Palin nomination. Please don't hope she gets elected just to get rid of her there though. You 6-700 K folks should take one for the rest of us!! :)

I heard a funny today.
An old farmer came in one day to see the Doctor. He'd hurt his hand stringing fences. The Doc sewed him up, and while they were there, they got to talking.
Says the Doctor; "Well whaddy think about that Governor Palin?
"Welp" says the Farmer. I reckon she's a Post Turtle.
The Doctor, puzzled, asked "What's a Post Turtle?"
The Old Timer kinda grinned, splitting the creases on his sunbaked face, "Ever been down a dirt road, and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top?", "That's a Post Turtle".
The Doc looked a bit nonplussed;
So the farmer went on" You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and ya just wonder what kind of dumb A** put her up there to begin with."
If you've heard this before, I apologize.

hopefully you alaskans won't keep her as your governor if she runs again after losing the VP.
I mean. Without just insulting her (which I find easy). While she's running for VP, she seems to be having McCant people handling her job. Shouldn't that fall to alaskans? That right there is an insult. Plus, the first dud factor. somebody voted for her, not her husband.
This is the 'married with children election'. We have Al and Peg Bundy running for VP and the presidential candidate goes to a biker rally where there's nudity and drugs.
Goodbye America, I hardly knew ye.
Well if cuteness was the only measure.
Well if cuteness was the only measure.
Then Mary Lou Retton would be President today.
