You know, I always love how some conservative politicians feel inclined to point out that they have gay friends and/or relatives, but then turn around and oppose gay rights.  I always wondered how Cheney family dinners go.  Likewise, I wonder how Palin explains herself to her gay "friends".

Just like Strom Thurmond got along real well with the "Negroes" that cleaned his family home, served their meals and maintained the yard (and got along really well with one housemaid in particular) but also opposed their equality.

Palin's just playing the same "compassionate conservative" schtick that other Republicans play all the time, Bush included.  I remember when some recordings were turned up where he apparently said he refused to bash the gay the way some of his advisors wanted him to.  Yes, Bush is just so fair in his treatment of gays. Palin, likewise, will probably go wherever the conservative winds blow.

I find it fascinating (in a vomity way) that she concedes that she does not know if gays choose to be gay.  Yet, she's still willing to discriminate whole-heartedly against us.

I'm deeply afraid for us if this country is dumb enough to vote those two into office.  There's a very real chance that McCain (at 72) will not live to serve his entire term(s).  Leaving Palin as POTUS.  Hillary's head may explode that day.
