As long as she's on the losing ticket, I find her amusing. But I think that we need to stay away from personal attacks on her (as easy as it is - seriously, the hairdo?) and focus on her "policies" where they exist. Like, abstinence being taught in school rather than sex ed. Um...if it's not working at her home, where her child must have been taught this important lesson, what about other homes where they don't have the same loving, religious support. Perhaps, just perhaps, teaching abstinence doesn't work? I think that's the way we have to deal with her. The drilling, the lies about not supporting the "bridge to nowhere", teaching creationism, etc. Not her failures as a human being, as obvious as they appear to be. Let's leave the judging to the good Christians and point out how "non-judgemental" she is about rights for women, gay folks, animals, the environment, pregnant teenagers (seriously, she cut funding for Covenant House, which gives pregnant teens a place to live)... But she is a bitch. I can tell. She is scary, isn’t she? As long as she’s on the losing ticket, I find her amusing.
