"While these types of conversations on blogs such as this one are fascinating where we all vent our beliefs and feelings, let's turn it around and share ideas about how we will actually not allow John McCain & Sarah Palin to win this election. Think about the people who may not go to the polls and figure out how to make them realize how important it is for them to vote! There is a woman who is so disillusioned that she is actually going to write in for Hilary. These are the people we need to embrace and bring them back to a less emotional reaction. Ladies... we can do this!"

What do you think, ladies (and gentlemen)? Any one else have any ideas about how we can help defeat Sarah Palin and her septuagenarian running mate?

Is Sarah Palin a kick ass female?

I do not oppose Sarah Palin because she's a hunter or because she likes guns. I oppose her because it is clear from her actions that she does not care about animals or the environment. She's suing to take polar bears off the threatened species list because they would interfere with her precious natural gas pipeline. In order to bring this suit, she's had to claim that the evidence for global warming is unreliable. (See the Anchorage Daily News article) If Palin wants to hunt, that's her right. Indeed, Teddy Roosevelt was a big game hunter, a Republican and a great president. But he also set aside vast tracts of land for national parks. He would be appalled by Palin's disregard for the environment were he alive today.
