Sarah Palin is the key to the 2008 election. No, No, not because she is the first woman ever on a Republican ticket. Actually it doesn’t even matter that she is on the ticket. In fact, from a political strategy point of view, she matters little. Obama should just acknowledge her historic presence on the Republican ticket. Then move on and focus completely on McCain.
No, Sarah Palin is the key to this election, because she embodies what this country will become if we continue our idiotic trend of electing Republican Presidents.
Follow me over the fold....
Sarah Palin is a bone to the Religious Right Conservatives! She is everything they want in the White House. They won’t see her as a risky VP pick for a 72 year old man with a shaky health history, she’ll be a blessing.
All they case about is who picks court justices. Right now they see the ring is just outside their grasp. A 4-4-1 split Supreme Court. And if they can just hold on to the White House one more term, all their wildest dreams will come true, By 2012, if McCain is elected, we will have a decidedly conservative Supreme Court. A 6-2-1 conservative dominated court is likely,
What will that mean? Just Look at Sarah Palin:
o Women will no loner have access to safe abortions.
o The glass ceiling Palin mentioned yesterday will still be there, only reinforced. It’ll have a trap door in it for special women. Only Good Looking, former beauty queen, or rich heiresses, who hold all the "correct views", will be allowed through. And the trap door is controlled by men like Dobson (Sorry Hillary, you and other progressive women don’t get through)
o Medical advances based on Stem Cell Research will grind to a halt.
o Creationism will be taught in public school science class, presented scientific theory just as valid as evolutionary science.
o Our environment will be bid out in parcels for Oil Drilling (Here! Now! Drill Drill Drill!)
o Gays will become 2nd class citizens, legally discriminated against. Legal rights won over the last several decades will be stripped away. A solidly conservative Supreme Court, will issue rapid fire decisions removing civil rights from American citizens, simply because their religious beliefs say those people are sinners.
o The Big Lie that America is a "Christian Nation" will start to become a reality. And we’ll start heading down the path of which form of "Christianity" is best to become the official State Religion. (Sorry Joe Lieberman, you’ve got to go!)
Yes, Sarah Palin is the key to framing this election.
She is the reality that awaits us if McCain wins.
