And the ones who will are already planning on voting for Ron Paul anyhew, so that&#8217;s not that important to me.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is very important though so I&#8217;ll point one thing out from her speech; since she applauded Hillary Clinton for leaving what she calls &#8220;cracks&#8221; in the glass ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure Sarah Palin is a nice enough human being otherwise, but I gotta ask if she&#8217;s smoking crack!<\/p>\n<p>Will Sarah Palin open or lift any ceilings? She sounds pretty anti-women to me. She sounds quite anti-human rights in general. She wants to drill the hell out of ANWR despite common knowlege that destroying that entire region will elicit only a small amount of fuel oil, and that the benefits won&#8217;t start until 6, 9, or 13 years from now depending on which experts you read.<\/p>\n<p>Alls I can say besides all that is it&#8217;s going to be quite interesting when she starts debating against Biden. Especially when topics of womens&#8217; rights come up.<\/p>\n<p>Sure he&#8217;s a middle aged white man, I bet she&#8217;ll start with that. Trying to attack by suggesting that he can only empathise and can&#8217;t relate. He&#8217;ll lob a volley across her bow by pointing out that he penned the &#8220;violence against women&#8221; act in &#8217;94.<\/p>\n<p>If she doesn&#8217;t admit defeat right there and then, he&#8217;ll most likely mention that she can&#8217;t get very far trying to label herself &#8220;prochoice&#8221; and made a choice to raise a child with Downs Syndrome, and that&#8217;s why she wants to overturn roe v wade, etc., etc., etc.<\/p>\n<p>Overall I&#8217;m glad that a woman was nominated as VP. But it&#8217;s the wrong woman. She&#8217;s smug, she&#8217;s elitist, she&#8217;s meanspirited toward the poor and she&#8217;s got a sleazy corrupt oil-baron as a husband. There are half a dozen scandals back in Alaska tied to her before she even starts and I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s more just waiting to be vetted after the fact.<\/p>\n<p>Big mistake on John McCain&#8217;s part. But on the very shallowest I&#8217;ll give him kudos for picking a woman. Any woman. Nice try though.<\/p>\n<p>I want a woman president someday. I didn&#8217;t think Hillary was right for 5 or 6 reasons I won&#8217;t go into. I think Sarah&#8217;s wrong for at least 10 reasons before I do any additional Google searches!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll put it this way.<\/p>\n<p>Hillary Clinton was the wrong multimillionaire middle-aged white man for the job.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Palin is DEFINITELY the wrong miltimillionaire slightly younger middle-aged white man for the job!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarah Palin&#8217;s acceptance speech was quite telling. http:\/\/community.adn.com\/adn\/node\/130001 I&#8217;m not sure many rightwingers will see through her crap.
