Ms Palin, you opened the door
You opened the door to your Springer episode of a life when you:

Wanted creationism in schools taught.
Supported teaching intelligent design in public schools.
Opposed sex-education programs.
Supported an abstinence only curriculum.


You barged in on every American family who found these issues important, from your far right-wing views to your inability to keep your own house in the order in which you want to oppose on others. Your door is open and we're coming in. You chose to open this chapter of your life because you want to deny the one thing, science, that may save a family from the fate yours faced:

Rejected sympathy for Down's Syndrome son, as gift from God.
Opposes stem cell research.
Only exception for abortion is if mother's life would end.


You oppose the very science that could have ended what your child suffers from. What's worse? You want to deny it for the rest of the world because of faith. Even if a mother couldn't feed her child, if the child was a product of incest you would force that mother to give birth. Yes, Ms. Palin we are coming in, we are going to look at you and your life. You've made your decisions concerning our life and now we will examine yours. Ms. Palin, you have chosen to deny a group of Americans the same rights you and your family receive.

Marriage only be between and man and a woman.
Ok to deny benefits to homosexual couples.
No spousal benefits for same-sex couples.
Top priorities include preserving definition of "marriage".


These are good people, these are kind people, these people are America. You would deny these Americans the rights you take for granted. In taking away their rights, in denying them family you've granted that your door will be kicked in. You've messed with their families. Sarah, you've chosen, along with the NRA and big oil to rape our wilderness.

Opposed protections for salmon from mining contamination.
Sue US government to stop listing polar bear as endangered.
We must encourage timber, mining, drilling, & fishing.
Provide stability in regulations for developers.


You've put in danger our wilderness. You've sold Alaska's future to corporate America and now you whimper and whine when we look at your family? You laughed as a cancer survivor was called a bitch and you want our understanding? You want to deny same-sex couples basic equality while looking away from the train wreck you call a family, a family soon to include a self described redneck? You want to come into our homes and tell us what to teach while slamming your door in our face?

All I have for you Madam is, NO THANK YOU! Your door is open and we're coming in.


Michael Harris

2. Yes! It's her EXTREME VIEWS and NOT HER 'EXPERIENCE" that is the matter with her
She is a far-far-right-wing whack job. We must paint her as such ever time we speak of her.

5. I always wonder how people can think this way. It baffles me
Isn't every little child raised to share, and be kind? When do they change? why do they change?

it cannot all be religion..there has to be more to it.. I know many religious people who are not narrowminded in the least.

6. Yes, she did!
And as far as I'm concerned, Obama and Biden can go at her with both barrels.

She makes me sick.

I haven't been this angry at someone since Chimpy's fucking "we're gonna bomb the shit out of Iraq" speech.
