Beyond the Pale

Things that make me hate Sarah Palin even more:

• As governor, she billed the state per diem expenses to stay in her own house
• As mayor, she billed rape victims for their own rape kits

She is:

pro-censorship

"Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor."

anti sex-ed

"In [a] 2006 questionnaire, the soon-to-be governor said she would fund abstinence-only education programs in schools. "The explicit sex-ed programs," she added, "will not find my support." The stance, which reflected the priorities of the GOP, nevertheless led to an incredulous editorial in the Juneau Empire."

anti-choice

"In November 2006, then gubernatorial candidate Sarah Palin declared that she would not support an abortion for her own daughter even if she had been raped.

Granting exceptions only if the mother's life was in danger, Palin said that when it came to her daughter, "I would choose life."

and even more corrupt than your average politician

"Palin, who has previously said her administration didn’t exert pressure to get rid of trooper Mike Wooten, also disclosed that members of her staff had made about two dozen contacts with public safety officials about the trooper."

And yet, according to the mainstream media and current polls, white women (traitorous bitches!) like her more than Obama? Seriously? And now alluvasudden republicans are pro-working women, pro-teen-pregnancy (shows "family values"!), and pro-feminist? And people buy this crap?

We live in a country of imbeciles.*


*Gonna call me a snob? Lemme do you one better: I am a wine-swilling, latte-sippin', homo-lovin', overly educated, socially-conscious intellectually engaged 100% pure northeast liberal snob. And I don't care. My first car was a Volvo, so I blame those commie homo Swedes.
