Let's not get distracted by Palin's reproductive history

[FightingIrish]

We’re getting all worked up about things about Sarah Palin we don’t know and probably won’t know for some time. What we do know is that she is much less a candidate for the office a heartbeat from the presidency than she is a convenient symbol. She is like the cross held up to a vampire. She is the anti-Obama, a cipher in which those who fear an honest, straight speaking American president with dark skin, can seek refuge. Bill Maher has quite correctly compared the McCain-Palin ticket to a sitcom. The McCain-Rove gambit is a blatant attempt to cast both campaigns in a light of equal absurdity. McCain has insulted a lot of people with his sham ticket but, most of all, he has insulted the office he seeks. He has lowered the bar we thought Bush had brought to the lowest point possible. In a perfect world the McCain Palin ticket will be curiosity of our political history. In the dangerous world we live in, the former mayor of Wasilla, Alaska could be appointing several justices to an already backward leaning Supreme Court.

2. Her reproductive history does matter because her stance interferes with reproductive freedom:

She is against abortion

She is apparently opposed to birth control/condom use

She is a proponent of abstinence only education


If Clinton got impeached for a blow job, then Sarah Palin should go down for deceiving and lying about her daughter's pregnancy and faking her own pregnancy. It's outrageous coming from a woman who might be making monumental reproductive decisions as VP or President.
