Palin's selection as McCain's running mate says as much about McCain as it does about her, and those currently supporting McCain would do themselves and the country a service considering this. And, just in case.. The suggestion that McCain's selection of Palin is only a campaign tactic, and not evidence of his governing philosophy, is a false counter - especially for those who voted for GWB, we have that now legendary quote - "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice - can't get fooled again..."

I mean, like, OMGPWNIES!!! ahead. I favour the Democrats, but at least McCain isn't a total brainless moron, so I could live with him being president. That being said - Palin scares the living daylights out of me. I believe in a strong separation between church and state, and Palin represents everything that I do NOT believe in in that regard. America was instructed by God to invade Iraq? God promoting war? If I were religious, I'd find that offensive. And yes, what if McCain dies? Palin in office? She doesn't appear to have much of a brain, and having such a religious lunatic with access to The Red Button (nuclear weapons) seems like a ticket to an annoying case of LOTS OF DEAD PEOPLE. But I do reiterate - she is physically attractive. Which, coincidentally, might explain people defending her." Yeah Heather over at Dooce.com linked to this stuff, this is what I commented there:
