I wont be voting for an anti-feminist...
who just happens to be a woman.
Things that bother me about Sarah Palin (besides that she's a republican):
* Palin is extremely anti-choice. She doesn't even support abortion in the case of rape or incest.
* Palin opposes comprehensive sex-ed in public schools. She's said she will only support abstinence-only approaches. (which worked real well for her daughter)
* As mayor, Palin tried to ban books from the library. Palin asked the library how she might go about banning books because some had inappropriate language in them-shocking the librarian, Mary Ellen Baker. According to Time, "news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor." ("Those who burn books will soon burn people ...")
* Palin recently said that the war in Iraq is "God's task." She's even admitted she hasn't thought about the war much-just last year she was quoted saying, "I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq."
* Palin wants to teach creationism in public schools. She hasn't made clear whether she thinks evolution is a fact.
* Palin doesn't believe that humans contribute (at all) to global warming. Speaking about climate change, she said, "I'm not one though who would attribute it to being manmade."
* Palin has close ties to Big Oil. Her inauguration was even sponsored by BP.
* She DID support the Bridge to Nowhere (before she opposed it). Palin claimed that she said "thanks, but no thanks" to the infamous Bridge to Nowhere. But in 2006, Palin supported the project repeatedly, saying that Alaska should take advantage of earmarks "while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist."
So yes, I'm still for Obama.
