Did You Know That Gov. Palin...

McCain: "Now lookie here girlie, you better bring me them armpit hair having Hillary supporters."

- Prior to being elected governor, supported the 1998 constitutional amendment barring marriage for same-sex couples and has said she would support a ballot measure overturning a state supreme court decision mandating benefits for domestic partners of state employees

- Is close to “traditional values” groups, like Family Research Council, because she is strongly anti-choice

- Vetoed legislation passed by the state legislature in 2006 that would have prohibited providing DP benefits to state workers, in defiance of the Alaska Supreme Court’s ruling. She did this after the Supreme Court had already ruled and the Attorney General (Republican) advised her that the legislation was unconstitutional. Palin went on to state that, as a matter of policy, she was in favor of the bill.

- Will be honored alongside anti-gay Representative Michelle Bachman (R-MN) at an event at the 2008 Republican Convention, the “Life of the Party,” sponsored in part by long-time opponent of GLBT rights, Phyllis Schlafly.

...chick's a total whack-job and there's already drama being whispered about her on "the tubes". I look forward to getting down to the nitty gritty of her psyche in the coming weeks.

I think she's a total publicity stunt. I can't shake that feeling. I don't think McCain thought anything about the reform bullshit the Obama-haters are dishing out. Now, he's secured the evangelical vote as well as people who think she's pretty. It's completely absurd.
