:: Upcoming Election ::

The upcoming day to vote for either Obama-Biden or McCain-Palin is just right around the corner. It will be a tough decision for some and for others a rather easy one. As for me it's quite simple-- I won't be voting for McCain-Palin. I will not say if I am a Democrat or a Republican. But I will not vote for McCain-Palin. Why you ask? I'll tell you why-- Sarah Palin.

Don't get me wrong I think it's great that the Republicans have chosen to elevate a woman to this level, vice president. It would be awesome to see woman of all parties included in politics. So hats off to Palin for that. But some of Palin's political views suck!!

First of all Palin has terrible views on environmental issues. As the Governor of Alaska she promoted oil and natural gas resource development which included opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling. She also gave the OK for Chevron to dump more toxic oil and gas waste into Cook Inlet waters where the Cook Inlet beluga whale presides, which is almost an endangered species. I mean really, do you want someone like that help running our country? She also supported the Alaska Department of Fish and Game policy which allows Alaska state biologists the ability to hunt wolves from helicopters.

As someone who has a soft spot for all animals there is no way in hell I'd vote for McCain-Palin. Here are a few more reasons why. Keep on reading if you can handle it.

Sarah Palin is also against marriage equality and is for a federal gay-marriage ban. I, for one, am for equal rights for gays and lesbians. Everyone should be treated with equality despite your sexual orientation and should be allowed to get married.

She is also pro-life. Now don't get me wrong, that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's her choice, but she is opposed to abortion in any and all cases. This includes if a woman has been raped and incest. I'm sorry but if a woman or girl for that matter has been raped or incest she should have the right to decide to get an abortion or not. It shouldn't be any one elses decision what someone can and can not do. No matter what the case is.

So in my opinion I really don't want someone like this in the help of running our country with these kind of political views.
