By her social agenda alone she should scare the pants off any thinking voter. By her own words, an avowed Creationist, anti-science fundamentalist, and she denies global warming is man-made. I didn't know that GWB had a sister!

Once I learned that she advocates for the addition of "Intelligent Design" into the classroom I knew she was an idiot and am further disgusted by the knuckleheads in the republican party for continue to believe in that kind of hogwash and for being intellectually dishonest in their continuing to believe it after its been made clear time and time again what a joke ID is and how legitimate evolution is and how accurate the theory of evolution is.

And I share your angst about these disreputable charlatans. I think we all breathed a sigh of relief after the Dover decision but they were more tenacious then we gave them credit for.

Regarding Palin in particular, it is obvious that she is simply a pawn being used by the McCain organization. Whether it will benefit his campaign remains to be seen. There are enough gullible people out there to take the bait and in a close election it could make a difference.
