Republicans chose a creationist-backing, choice-denying, gay-rejecting, middle-class-wrecking, environment-ignoring, secession-promoting, right-wing religionist and second-string rookie who is so gravely unprepared for the job for which she has been selected out of the blue that she must be kept under wraps except when delivering a script. A candidate who stands against nearly everything progressives have fought for the past half-century, and mostly probably – like the 90% Man himself – against the FDR legacy itself. Whatever her back-story, Palin epitomizes the mind-set and policy approach that we must defeat. Not only is McCain-Palin dead-wrong on most issues, they are wrong on so-called women’s issues, which are, in fact, human rights issues. And yet the addition of Palin to the ticket is seen by some, even some alleged liberals, as some hallelujah breaking down of barriers. — Meteor Blades
