Girl power? Palin is against abortion even when the pregnancy is caused by rape or incest. Science and education? Palin wants creationism taught in the schools. Extinction of species? Palin did not want the polar bear listed as an endangered species. The environment. Palin wants oil drilling in the Alaskan Wildlife Reserve.

These are not McCain's views but the views of the religious Fundamentalists whose votes McCain wants. He wants those votes so badly that he is willing to put one of that mindless bunch a heartbeat away from the presidency.

If Palin survives the various skeletons emerging from the closet she will represent a triumph for conservatism. Some might say another chapter in the 'dumbing' of America. She is ambivalent on global warming the same time as Alaska shows clear evidence such as road buckling due to melting permafrost. She supports drilling in the Arctic wildlife reserve when at best that might supply a few years extra oil to the contiguous US States. She declines to protect polar bears when experts say that species is endangered. If indeed she becomes VP then the US deserves the bigger reality check that awaits them.

I think that God and Guns just about sums her up,another narrow minded bigot

She might well fall flat on her face too, and take McCain with her.

God help America.

Sounds likes the sort of woman we need in leadership. She values the life of the unborn and is not gullible in believing in earth worshipers doctrine. What breath of fresh air.

If Palin does fall flat on her face, then feminists could always accuse her of being male (or not woman enough).
