* Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of
rape or incest. THREE SUPREME COURT JUDGES COULD BE SEATED BY THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION, AND JOHN MCCAIN IS COMMITTED TO OVERTURNING ROE V. WADE!
* She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000.
* Her pastor said that attacks on Israel are because the Jews haven't accepted Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
* Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.
* She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change.
* She was elected Alaska's governor a little over a year and a half ago.
Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside
Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience.
* She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy
policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables
won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for
listing polar bears as an endangered species--she was worried it would
interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.
* How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once
at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called
her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.

here's another one for you:
As mayor, Palin tried to ban books from the library. Palin asked the library how she might go about banning books because some had inappropriate language in them—shocking the librarian, Mary Ellen Baker. According to Time, "news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor."
all the radio stories i hear are still about people's reaction to the fact that she's a woman - this stuff isn't coming up at all!
