Voices from WASP

From Women Against Sarah Palin blog.

John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his vice, was a calculated gamble carrying with it frightening brilliance. She is the personification of today's American fundamentalism. This classic bait and switch move has the electorate once again focusing on the culture wars instead of the real ones, on pseudo-feminism instead of tolerance and equality. Aside from Palin's sheer and utter ignorance of national and foreign affairs, he could hardly have picked a more dangerous choice. It is an insult to think that any Hillary supporter will vote the McCain ticket merely because she's a woman.

This young woman from Alaska is being fooled with - she is their decoy - but she might be elected and then she could be a heartbeat away from being in charge of our lives. God help us. I would not be tolerant of such a closed mind and shallow ideas - of women not to have choices, of putting censorship in my path, including anyone who disagrees with her religious views or is quick to use a gun for SPORT (from a plane - which is illegal). How can I trust that she would understand other nations, cultures and needs - if she has not ventured much beyond her guarded ways? Mr. McCain needs to be mentally evaluated and I don't say this with insult. Anyone who went through that many years of trauma might have a damaged fuse and I don't want his hand on the button if he has had a bad day. We are getting the same food as Mr. Bush fed us, only a different plate. No on Mrs. Palin and No on Mr. McCain.

Sarah Palin represents an anti-science, anti-future mentality. We need to acknowledge that global warming is a serious threat to the well-being of everyone in the global family. We need a green revolution that will jump-start the economy with development of sustainable energy technologies. We need to consider the realities of sexually active youth and recognize that children will do better when their parents have planned for their appearance. We need to recognize that trickle down economics has empirically been shown to be wishful thinking. Sarah Palin represents the antithesis of our present needs.
