  1. No. Although I much preferred Obama to McCain even before McCain chose Palin, his choice for the nomination makes me like him even less. Palin is evangelical, extremely traditional, and has very outdated views on sexuality.


  2. No.

  3. No.

    What is this list? Oh just a few books Sarah Palin tried to ban during he time as Mayor of Wasilla.

    "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor."

    The article does not explicitly state School Libraries either. That would be bad enough. No, the article implies she wanted these books banned from public libraries where adults check out books.

    This cements my opinion of her as a conservative reactionary.

  4. not a feminist, but if she is against abortion, then i will most likely vote for rep.  Democrats have put nothing forward, but a muslim.  Woman have the right to choose, and the time to choose is BEFORE you have s*x!!

  5. Are you kidding me, dude above?  So many of those books are classics.  What the h**l is wrong with Holden Caufield?  Oh my, now I'm pissed!

    No Lycra.  I would not.  Clearly she opposes witches and I'm gonna put a spell on her so she'd never, ever be able to open one d**n jar of pickles by herself.  Or olives.  

    ... Curious... I don't see Dracula on that list and that S**t should be banned for the worst writing ever.  Clearly her head is up her backside.

  6. Didn't we already tell you no? Almost all the feminists I've seen disagree with her about practically everything.

  7. No.  I'm not voting on gender- but on issues.    

  8. No, I was going to vote for him anyone. Its just exciting to see Palin in politics now. She is a a breath of fresh air because she is so different. Conservative women haven't had a voice for so long. Its about time.

  9. No, I don't vote Republican for president, given the party's awful, awful track record. I don't care if he picked Joan of Arc as his running mate.

  10. No. I don't care if the Republican POTUS nominee is a woman (not just VP) I will NEVER vote Republican.

    EDIT-Max is just bitter that his candidate's desperate attempts at pandering won't work....and that Obama will be our next President! Haha!

    EDIT-Max, if you understand your history, you know that what was "Republican" during the American slavery era, is "Democrat" now. The Republicans during the time of Lincoln were the social liberals, and the Democrats were the social Conservatives. This switched around the time of FDR. Many Democrats during Desegregation probably DID vote against it... but this is because many Southern social conservatives refused to switch parties because of their hatred for Lincoln. It was only in the last couple of decades that socially conservative states in the South began going to the Republican candidates....and it was the issue of the Rebel Flag, and republicans racist support of it, that swayed them.

    It was the Democrat leaders, however, that brought about desegregation, and it was the Republican leaders in the House and senate that opposed it. Remember Trent Lott ran for President, and keeping segregation alive and well was the biggest part of his platform.

    I'm from the South. Racists vote Republican, without fail. In fact, I remember having a conversation with a "friend" when I was in high school about politics. We couldn't vote, obviously, but I told her I was a Democrat, and she said she was a Republican. I asked her why. She said "Because my daddy says that Democrats want to give rights to the 'n*****s.'" I was appalled (and not her friend for very much longer). Mind you, this was only ten yrs ago. Racists know which party to vote for, and it's not the Democrats.

  11. No, McCain was long in my choice as president. I do not like Obama's plans for the country and while McCain has flaws and I do not agree with him on everything, he is the better choice. His VP does not matter to me (except if he'd picked Huckabee then I wouldn't have voted for him). I thought he was going to pick Romney but he surprised me. I'm not that excited about Palin either but she seems like a sensible person and is a very popular governor. In the primaries I voted for Ron Paul, s*x does not matter what matters is their ideals and their courage.

  12. was voting for mccain anyway(you can look back on my answers been talking mccain for months now) ...so his vp didnt really matter.
