Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to serve as VP of the US?

It's at 52% yes, 47% no. Apparently there's an email campaign to tilt the poll towards yes. So, you know, take a sec and go vote.

Don't worry, most of us over here in the US are shaking our heads and wondering, too. I've got family that's voting Republican, and several of them are voting Republican solely because they like the idea of having a vajayjay in office. It's got nothing to do with her issues, or her experience, and everything to do with what's between her legs. Even supposedly liberal people are voting for her, because they're just so upset that the Democrats went with the black cock over the vajayjay. Which is just mind-boggling because if you were such a huge supporter of Hillary as most of these people claim to be, then shouldn't you have some idea of what Hillary's platform was? And how it compares to Obama vs McCain?

Don't get me wrong, there's people who are voting because they believe in her stance, as well. Mainly because we're a nation founded by religious nutcases. But from my informal polling of my (admittedly conservative Southern) family the majority don't even know her stance. My sister, for example, is an adamant and vocal Palin supporter. But she didn't know she was a creationist. She didn't know she was pro-life. She didn't know about the library censorship. Not that any of that would matter to her as my sister is a pro-life creationist who is home-schooling her children to keep them from being exposed to "inappropriate" material... but the point still stands that even before she knew that Palin was her long-lost older twin she was going to vote for her. And it's got nothing to do with the fact that she's a conservative Republican and everything to do with the fact that she's a chick.

Sad but true.

Okay, that's nice and freaky. Any "well, she's female, therefore she must be an ally of mine!" ended when I was ten or so and learned about Phylis Schafly. And come to think of it, Palin strongly reminds me of her. Creepycreepycreepy.

Phyllis Schafly, Beverly LaHaye....basically, you write down the name of any woman who has thrown others under the bus in the name of anti-feminism (or "values") but made damned sure that she retained plenty of power for herself, and you've got it.
