Palin on the issues
Given some of the comments on my last post, I thought I'd be more specific about why I do not think Palin deserves a vote, especially from democrats, especially from women democrats ..... let's see her stance on the issues.
Crime
She supports the death penalty (link)
Education
She is a fan of creationism and intelligent design (link).
Guns
She's a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association (Conservative Activists Praise Palin as McCain’s VP Pick)
She supports ending D.C.'s 32-year-old ban on handguns (link)
The environment
She wants to open the Arctic National Wilderness Refuge for drilling (link).
She doesn't believe global warming needs to be addressed .... Palin tells Newsmax that it’s high time Congress allows the development of Alaska’s wealth of oil and gas. She doubts global warming stems from human activity, and she considers herself both a fiscal and social conservative. (link).
She's offered a bounty on the Alaska wolf population (link) and sued the government to disallow polar bears on the endangered species list (link).
Gay rights
She supported a non-binding referendum for a constitutional amendment to deny benefits to gay couples (link).
She opposes gay marriage (link)
Abortion
She would not allow abortion even in case of rape or incest, but only if the mother's life was in danger (link)

Of course we don't know about her stance on foreign policy, because she has NEVER shown an interest in it or even in national issues that don't affect her own state.
Right more I'm very angry that more people aren't angry that McCain is treating us all like fools and taking the role of vicepresident more seriously.
Crystal, is there any hope? This is clearly an election between the "primitives" and the, at least, half sane. We love our country, but... You won't like this Crystal, but between the evangelicals and the one issue, and only one issue, Catholics the outlook is grim. I am not talking only of the election.

Liam,

Or even in issues that do affect her state - an LA Times story I saw last night mentioned her lack of interest i health care and helping the poor - link
I think McCain did a smart but souless thing by picking her. She will be popular and hard for Obama to criticize, but she would make a terrible VP.

Oh, excuse me. You know he was GAY!!!!! Jack
Yes, though I know that quote not from an extensive knowledge of him but from the movie The Rock :)
