Blue State Mom vs. Red State Mom

Two mothers duke it out over Sarah Palin.

Guest blogger Blue State Mom feels these facts about the VP candidate Sarah Palin should scare us out of voting for McCain. But Red State Mom says her points are nothing but B.S. that have been blown out of proportion by the media. What do you think?

Guest blogger Blue State Mom lists 10 things she hates about Sarah Palin, and Red State Mom responds...


1.	She only opposed "Bridge to Nowhere" after the plan was publicly blasted. The project called for the construction of an almost $400 million bridge to an island populated by 50 people that already had an airport. She even modeled its T-shirt.	Shut up already about the "Bridge to Nowhere"! Republican Sen. Ted Stevens said she was very critical of the "Bridge to Nowhere" at the time. In her convention speech, Palin said, "I told Congress, 'Thanks, but no thanks,' on that bridge to nowhere."
2.	She got her first passport in 2006. She's only traveled to four countries. Although people tout Alaska's close proximity to Russia as a notch in her belt for her foreign affairs experience, she has never been there. Oh--and one of the four countries was Ireland. She only stopped there so her plane could re-fuel. Really.	Who cares if she only got her passport in 2006? I have never been out of the country, but I consider myself cultured nonetheless. Not everyone can afford to go to Europe or Asia, but it doesn't mean we're not smart people who know about the world.
3.	When she was elected mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, she asked the city librarian to ban books. Click here to see the alleged list. When she refused, Palin sent her a termination letter citing her lack of mayoral support as the cause. The library then sent her back a copy of the Constitution.	Palin asked the city librarian to ban books? Good! There are certain books, like ones with inappropriate language, that should not be on library shelves for any child to pick up and peruse. She didn't want them burned, she just wanted them banned. There's a difference.
4.	She supports an abstinence-until-marriage sexual education program. She only thinks contraception should be discussed in regards to its failings. No word yet on how her now pregnant 17-year-old daughter is clearly failing to learn about abstinence.	Abstinence-only education works! It prevents teens from getting HIV or AIDS, and teaches morality. True, her daughter is pregnant, but no one is perfect. At least her daughter is having the baby, not aborting it. I commend that choice.
5.	When her mother-in-law ran for the mayor of Wasilla after Palin was elected governor, she didn't endorse her. It's because she was pro-choice. Family values, here we come!	Her MIL isn't endorsing Sarah Palin, either. She recently said, "I'm not sure what [Palin] brings to the ticket other than she's a woman and a conservative." What family loyalty! Family values, indeed.

I have a 23 year old daughter, 20 year old son. Great well rounded loving kids who stayed away from pregnancy drugs and alcohol. We attribute that to the love and time we invested into them. Teacher and Eagle Scout. In college. Working. You dont know me at all. I am giving my opinion and facts and you call it hate? Then you hate more CK1. And what is it with you and women should support women blah blah. I dont care if a candidate is old, young, black or white, woman or man, even Republican or Democrat. I vote for the ticket that I believe will do the best for our country. Palin is running for public office. We have the right to scrutinize the abilities of our candidates. That is not hatred to most people. You were the one hating on the Wilson sisters! You are just so biased you cant seem to think straight. You say I’m my own worst enemy??? You are a (I’ll borrow it from Wilbur on another subject you ranted on) moron.

Tushay RACHEL…You just don’t get it and probably never will. As I have said, keep on bashing Palin, you are showing us how narrow minded and ugly you are. Not everyone lives in a glass house like you. Good Luck!

OK Ladies, we need to calm down here a bit and look at the facts….remember what that word means now, “fact”…the voice of America was heard when it elected Obama for its president…Palin has become a joke, hearing her name makes people laugh, and that’s the fault of the republicans who didn’t clue her in enough on what to do, how to walk and how to talk. She wants to seperate Alaska from the United States! Her and her hubby belongs to an organization that meets about that. What does that say about what she thinks about us?…its the fault of the GOP for running the campaign the way they did not knowing how to handle someone like Barack. I’ve NEVER heard of 9 world leaders congratulating any presidents for their election victory, other than Obama….for the “regilious” people out there that want to refer to Barack as the anti-christ (lol) needs to check why they are religious in the first place. LET A PROPHECY BE A PROPHECY! Part of being regilious is follow God’s word, if you want Jesus to return, you have to let prophetic things happen…I’m pretty sure Jesus kept trying to come and you all kept trying to stop is second coming by pointing out who the anti-christ is…lol…haven’t you seen all the horror movies made in catholic churches where the scene is ALWAYS “them” stopping something prophetic from coming to past? If you want Jesus to return so badly, just let it all be what it’s gonna be…in the mean time be pleasant & be inspirational to young people so they don’t grow up to be a closet racist like some of you are, life is too short. A part of being religious is also accepting what the world has to go thru. We finally got a President that fits the image of what America is….a melting pot. Why is it only a white man can run this country when the majority of the people are people of color. We cannot constantly have a white face representing a country where its citizens are multi-cultural. Our next President should be Native American or Mexican, Asian or even Hindu! You are forgetting that we are all not from this place we call home. Know the history of this land & the history of your ancestors before you leave another comment, it would settle alot of things some
