Brilliant Sarah Palin summary

While many Americans are still becoming familiarized with Alaska Governor and Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin, Republicans are doing their best to spin a positive light on their new favorite culture war hero. In 2000 and 2004, Republicans used, among other things, scare tactics, cheap smears and 527 groups (and let's not forget Kitty Harris too) in order to "divide and conquer" the American electorate. This year, they're still relying on the same old repertoire or tricks, but are depending even more heavily on perfecting the art of deceitfully worded speeches and flat out lying. Also, as in the past, we once again see Republicans attempting to pit Americans against one another by revving up the culture wars. This time, though, there's a new face leading the march of ignorance, so here's a brief (yet brilliant) overview of Sarah Palin I stumbled across on Facebook this morning.
A woman and anti-choice

A mother and pro-war

Anti-corruption and currently under investigation for abuse of power

A governor for 20 months and more experienced than Barack Obama

A foreign policy expert and a woman who only got her passport in July '07

A woman who is a "leader in climate change" and a woman who believes humans do not contribute to global warming, also a woman who shoots moose for fun and supports oil drilling in her state's wildlife preserves.

From a family of educators and pro-creationism-in-the-classroom

The GOP's responses to all of this?

"You get more experience to be president in a month of being governor that you do in several years of being a senator...Sarah Palin had more executive experience as the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, than Barack Obama has had in his entire life." - Mike Huckabee

"Palin knows about foreign policy because Russia is right next door to Alaska." - Steve Doocy

"Now, this establishes Undeniable Truth of Life Number 24, which says, 'Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.' I guarantee you these messages Dawn is getting are probably pretty typical of liberal women across the country, and what it boils down to -- you know it and I know it -is jealousy. They're just jealous of her, Dawn. That's it, pure and simple." - Rush Limbaugh

OK. To sum up:

Being a senator doesn't count, proximity to foreign countries constitutes foreign policy experience, and if you don't like Sarah Palin you're probably a whiny ugly shrew. Vote McCain-Palin!

Remember, this is a woman that, if elected, would be just one heart beat away from the Presidency.
