"She named two daughters after television witches, and smoked pot when it was legal in Alaska, and inhaled. She's also very gay-friendly. It makes me like her. I'm not so sure how the most devout in the base will respond. Her Down Syndrome baby will help, I'm sure - and her decision to bring him into the world is a beautiful, beautiful thing."Friday, August 29, 2008

what?!!! "gay friendly"?? Has Andrew been smoking pot too?
Palin gave state employees domestic partner benefits.
I like her.
Palin didn't want to do it... her morals said to allow it... her public policy said to veto the bill
not exactly gay friendly
She also supported the state's amendment against gay marriage. Her decision to give domestic partner benefits was based on legal issues only -- she was concerned about the constitutionality of the issue.
From what I read Palin signed DP benefits into law after consulting her state Atty. General, because of a state Supreme court ruling. At the time she publicly stated she disagreed with the ruling. She's also stated she would support a ballot initiative that would deny gay couples benefits. Based on that, I wouldn't go so far as to call her gay friendly.
"Has Andrew been smoking pot too?"
Chances are, yes. Sully is a big-time pot smoker.

I don't have a problem with that. I can appreciate anyone that can put their personal opinions aside to follow the law. I also think that it is a wise move to seek out the opinions of those who are in a position to know more than you do in a particular area - such as when she consulted the Supreme Court and AG on the legal issues. I, honestly, would not have classified her as gay friendly exactly. But I don't see her as anti-gay rights either.

It helps that I don't really see Obama as gay friendly either.

Is there something wrong with that?
;)
I'm finally excited about this election. I just hope she's articulate and smart.
The Dean of Liberty University College of Law called Palin a "brilliant" choice that will energize conservatives. If he likes her that much- it can't be good.
I knew McCain would pick a woman...
I like Joan Walsh's take on Palin.
Taking nothing away from Palin, it really bothers me that McCain would choose someone he barely knows to be VP. That doesn't strike me as good judgment. It strikes me as pandering to the Christian Right and disaffected Hillary supporters. Palin will solidify the radical base for McCain. But in choosing Palin he blew any chance of swinging angry Hillary women over to his campaign.
this choice is pandering/political in the extreme. if i didn't already question mccain's decision-making abilities (or lack thereof), i certainly do now. how do you choose someone you've met one time to be your second in anything? this will make for a highly entertaining 60+ days.
I don't have a problem with that.
I don't either, but it doesn't make her gay friendly. That was my point. It just makes her concerned about law. As Sassy said, she stated she disagreed with the decision.
Ultimately though, she obeyed the law and honored her oath of office.
That's more than I can say for our current VP, Dick Cheney.
