Comment on Purity, “Sluts,” & Choice by Jason

I love your blog and hate running against you in a battle, but I need some eyeballs and I wouldn’t feel bad losing to you. Have you by any chance seen the Sidewalk to Nowhere video? Somebody asks some McCain supporters what they think of women being charged for their rape kits in Alaska. One guy says she should be killed and another says they should charge her double. I’m glad the righties are showing their true colors and I hope this serves as a serious wakeup call to middle America and any of these undecideds out there. You can see the video in the last link of my current post.

I am glad Hallmark are not bigots. Time the so called “Christians” that are took a hard look at themselves.

I have gay friends and I am happy that some of them have found life partners and can make it legal at long last in my country.

I shall continue to support Hallmark both with e-cards and printed cards as I have done for years.

LOL at the so-called Christians.

But I do think that the 99% thing was a statement that only 1% of the population is gay.

I tried signing the petition with the most obnoxious message to the boycotters, but it rejected it for having too many characters. I might have to try again. These people SO piss me off!

I have listened to Palin speak on this subject often. I think she purposely rides the line so as not to lose the pro-lifers. Much like myself, she is personally pro-life but politically for state’s rights on the issue. She would not outlaw abortion in any way herself, but would allow states to vote on the issue themselves.
If she were to say that she thinks it is up to the state’s to decide without making it known that she is personally pro-life, she would lose those all important Christian based votes.
This is not a Palin thing, it is the way all politicians speak. They say something ambiguous so that they can appeal to a wide audience. If they are point blank about issues and only state the facts, they stand to alienate parts of their base.
Personally, I wish they would all just say what they mean and end the rhetorical games.

From what I’ve seen about Palin, she never really answers a question. She either rambles on or says McCain this or McCain that.

And to think, Palin believes we should be teaching abstinence for sex education in schools. Let’s teach our youth to not have sex, wait till they do it anyway, give them no option other than to have a baby, but cut programs that will help them. Woo-hoo! I will be reading more of your blog , very nice fersher.

Comment on Wasilla, Alaska: Come for the fishin’, stay for the rape by Joy

I don’t believe we live in an age when politicians can afford to let things like this go unnoticed. They SHOULD be held accountable for policies that are downright wrong that they allow to stand.

Essentially, if you picked a victim who was poor and uninsured, you were virtually guaranteed to get away with rape. Without a rape kit, there’s no solid evidence that a rape ever even occurred.

I simply do not think that is okay. Given that Wasilla was the only Alaskan town that was allowing this to happen, I think it is more than fair to hold Palin at least partially responsible for it. Especially since she selected a police chief who argued in favor of it.
