Your father raped you? Too bad. Global warming an issue? Poppycock. Teach creationism in science class? Sure, let the students decide.

Ultra right wing religious fanatics are salivating all over themselves over McSame's choice.

A Hillary replacement? Ha! Going to draw Hillary supporters away from Obama? In a pig's eye. Republicans must believe that women voters are all stupid idiots.

This is McCain's judgment in action!

My first year of graduate school was spent coding video tapes of children being interviewed about being sexually abused. The footage was used in court cases, and we coded for leading questions and whatnot. Anyhow, one interview sticks out the most. A child who father and grandfather were the same person. Her older sister was also a product of incest and had just committed suicide at age 12. This child was yet another generation sexually abused by the sick grandfather-father. If that child gets pregnant by her grandpa/father, who is going to make her have the baby? Sarah Palin.

Very meaningful comment, Deborah. Too often we're presented only with back and white rationale, fueled by religious dogma with little thought of consequences for real people. Thanks for your post.
