Setting the record straight

[unixronin]

There's this meme going around that calls for you to write about a Supreme Court decision you disagree with.  But it didn't start out that way.  It started out just as, "Write about a Supreme Court decision other than Roe v. Wade."  Because, after all, "that's the only Supreme Court decision Sarah Palin's ever heard of."

Except that's not true.  The actual question put to Palin (wording not guaranteed to be exact) wasn't "Do you know any Supreme Court decisions other than Roe v. Wade?"  It was, "Do you know any Supreme Court decisions that you disagree with, other than Roe v. Wade?"

I think we can all agree that's a very, very different question to answer "No" to.

Fer crissake, people, NONE of these candidates are paragons.  Doesn't any one of them have enough flaws worthy of criticism without people just making up extra ones to bash them about?

Never said you _had_ to justify it. But I was asking after the logic, given your statements that (a) Palin isn't competent to be VP, and (b) she doesn't have the "ability to govern"... as VP.

Esp. given that Obama (a) has less experience in public life, and (b) has less demonstrated executive background.

Vote for whoever you damn well please. But if you're going to spout them off to the rest of the world, you might as well be prepared to either defend them, or see them tossed in the trashcan.
