45+ reasons why Sarah Palin is the worst pick ever

Posted in News, Politics on September 2nd, 2008 by Hyphen

As I’m watching this horribly embarrassing Republican National Convention (the co-chair just called Sarah Palin “Sarah Pawlenty”…Freudian slip much?), I can’t believe these people even exist. Aside from the fact that I disagree with most of their core values, some of these people are downright crazy. That includes Mrs. Palin, who is clearly the worst Vice Presidential candidate ever selected. The Daily Kos posted up a long list of reasons why, so go ahead and get familiar with this woman right here.

Some of my favorites include believing that creationism should be taught in science class, fighting to remove polar bears from the endangered species list so she can drill more in Alaska, and leaving the tiny town of Wasilla in economic tatters after her mayoral stint. I’m not even going to talk about the idiocy of being anti-choice and anti-sex ed in schools when your own underage daughter is pregnant. How’d that whole abstinence thing work out for ya?

I could go on and on (…and on and on and on), but this is just ridiculous.

Two can play at that game

Remember how the Republicans were so quick to use footage of Joe Biden campaigning against Barack during the primary after he was selected VP?  Well, since the rumors are that McCain will shortly be announcing Mitt “I strapped my dog on top of my roof during a family road trip” Romney as his own VP, this clip has surfaced right on cue.  Regardless of who he picks, his options are horrible and Biden will pwn ’em in the debates.

That said, these clips are pointless.  The entire point of the primary battle is to beat out your rivals, so you could find negative statements applied towards anyone.  However, unlike EVERY other candidate on both sides, Barack never attacked his opponent’s character or legitimacy.  Instead, he based his attacks around policy differences and campaign tactics.  See what happens when you take the high road?  You win.
