And here is why I will be voting for Obama...

If anyone is following Sarah's blog, then you know about how her Obama signs keep getting stolen in Colorado. Everyone has been making suggestions for how to retaliate against her thieves. My suggestion would be too long, but if I had the time, I would decorate my lawn with Sarah Palin quotes:
1. "As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?" --Sarah Palin, interview with CNBC's "Kudlow & Co", July 2008

2. "As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border." --Sarah Palin, explaining why Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience, interview with CBS's Katie Couric, Sept. 24, 2008

3. "Well, let's see. There's -- of course -- in the great history of America rulings there have been rulings." --Sarah Palin, unable to name a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with other than Roe vs. Wade, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008

4. "All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years." --Sarah Palin, unable to name a single newspaper or magazine she reads, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008

5. "They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan." --Sarah Palin, speaking at a fundraiser in San Francisco, Oct. 5, 2008

6. "Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending soldiers out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan." –Sarah Pailn, on the Iraq war, speaking to students at the Wasilla Assembly of God, June 2008

7. "I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you." --Sarah Palin, asked by Katie Couric to cite specific examples of how John McCain has pushed for more regulation in his 26 years in the Senate, CBS interview, Sept. 24, 2008

8. "That's exactly what we're going to do in a Palin and McCain administration." --Sarah Palin, elevating herself to the top of the ticket, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Sept. 18, 2008

9. "I told the Congress, 'Thanks, but no thanks,' on that Bridge to Nowhere." –Sarah Palin, who was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it

10. "I'm the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can't.'" --Sarah Palin, as quoted by former City Council Member Nick Carney, after he raised objections about the $50,000 she spent renovating the mayor's office without approval of the city council

I think my favorites are #1 and #4. It's not so much that I hate McCain, even though he looks like he has no neck and can barely clasp his hands together in front of him because he is so short. My friends and I like to do McCain impressions during debates. It is more that I can't stand Palin. And if McCain dies and Palin becomes the first woman president, then it will put women to shame for years and years to come.

Oh and if you are at work reading this, you may envy me as I lay in my recliner with my little fluffy white dog next to me, overlooking my backyard in the San Francisco bay area with a waterfall (or water feature...depending on who you ask), gazebos, a huge lawn, and enjoying a pomegranate dark chocolate ice cream bar (I would give my left arm to have one of these everyday) in the pleasant 78 degree weather. I love fall break!
