Palin - Extremist In A Nice Dress

Sarah Palin looks very nice, she and her husband make a picturesque pair, and from the talking points of the Republicans, you'd think she was about as mainstream America as you can get. Not true.

Sara Palin is an extremist of the worst kind. She seeks to impose government controls on our private lives. Her politics is that of division and is antithetical to the American spirit. She opposes abortion and would make it illegal even in cases of rape. America has already voiced its opinion on this issue and the majority of Americans want to maintain a choice for women.

Palin wants "intelligent design" taught in our schools. She is out of step with America on this as well. Most Americans want real science taught to our young people so they can compete in the global marketplace. Palin's thinly disguised "creationism" is just trying to ram a Biblical narrative down our children's throats. It's bad science and worse theology.

Palin wants to ignore global warming. Her beliefs run counter to all the scientific evidence and that is an extreme and dangerous viewpoint for a person in the position of making public policy.

Palin has been embraced by the extreme right-wing of the GOP for these and other reasons. She represents another four years of Bush and Cheney in her outlook on government and the erosion of the constitution. Se must be exposed as the extremist she is and for the far right-wing agenda she brings to the McCain ticket.

Palin is the pretty face the GOP wants to paint on it's extreme agenda. They insult the intelligence of all Americans when they put her on the ticket with McCain and it's time for America to look behind the pretty face to see the ugly ideals harbored inside.
