The Palin Effect

"You've got a lot of awesome, loving gay friends, but you don't think they should be allowed to marry, that's the Palin Effect."

Yes, huge surprise...Palin stated today that she'd support a US Constitutional Amendment that would ban gay marriage on a national level, despite the fact that this is not in alignment with her running mate. Still, neither support gay marriage.

Gay marriage is, of course, an important issue to bring up during this time of financial crisis, war, and healthcare woes. After all, how else are you going to get your base out to vote unless you start appealing to their willful ignorance? If you let people focus on the real issues, the indecisive party members and independents are going to vote against you.

Go Republicans! Number 1 in distracting the American people since...since...who knows when?
