McCain Recruits Palin for Culture War

Republican Presidential Nominee Senator John McCain has appointed Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate. Sarah Palin is, no doubt, an excellent governor of Alaska, and if something should happen to McCain and she becomes President, she'll have all the help she needs from the usual back-room Republican movers and shakers -- the same Republicans that have been handling George W. Bush for the past 8 years. But any politician with a few years of state-level political experience could likely be handled just as well.

Not every state-level politician, however, is as staunchly socially conservative as Sarah Palin. She promotes government discrimination against homosexuals, the revocation of women's reproductive rights, and in having public schools teach creationism as part of their curriculum. Such radical conservatism will serve only to polarize America during this election season. John McCain, someone who claims to be interested in uniting America, has made a very peculiar decision in choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate.
