I'm not afraid of you, Sarah.

But I hate you. I hate what you represent, what you are and that you think you are more qualified to be President than Barack Obama,. So here is a list of the things I despise about you.

I hate that you have the intellectual curiosity of a boiled egg. You couldn't give a straight answer to Katie Couric when she asked you what newspapers you read. 

I despise you for being the cheerleader of ignorance and incompetence.  You are a cheerleader for the Joe Sixpack crowd, but you don't give a damn about them, you only want them to buy your books, vote for your daughter on Dancing With The Stars.  I cannot vote for a person who quit being governor to chase the money people were throwing at you.   I can respect wanting to strike while the iron was hot, but not at the expense of the people you claim to represent. 

I hate the way you play victim. I hate that you think you have cornered the market on common sense, and call everyone who doesn't think like you a socialist, unamerican, a communist.

I hate your platitudes, for trying to wrap up your bullshit into pretty litlle packages like Godiva chocolate.  "Don't retreat, reload."  "Death panels"  "Weeweed up."

I HATE what you did to the caribou.    I get the point of hunting to put food on the table, but you seem to enjoy the bloodshed too much.

I don't get how you think your journalism degree is a more valuable credential for the Oval Office than a law degree. I can't even wrap my brain arond it.  I hate that your fanclub pays for pictures with you.
I hate your excessive religiosity.  I don't believe that fundamentalism is a healthy religious choice for the vast majority of Americans. I am not claiming wisdom here, because i know how much i don't know.  But I believe that religion is a force advocating ignorance, misogyny and an anti-intellectual attitude.   You haven't the spine to go on ABC or MSNBC and you don't give a fuck that this is wrong.

I am not religious.  I have not set foot in a church for anything more than a wedding, for more than 10 years.   I am a writer, a blogger and a scholar.  I am a woman who has never had a child, who considers it immoral to have a baby without the means to care for it, mentally, physically, and finacially.    Women need all the information availaible on birth control, and their options. Condoms are not a vector for the spread of disease. It is the right of a woman to have or end a pregnancy as she and HER DOCTOR see fit, and not the decison of any random man, or legislator.   A man should not make this choice for a woman. If you are not prepared to make a baby, then you need to be careful. No glove, no love. It's not rocket science.   Abstinence is great, but it doesn't WORK for most people.
