A lot of people are still scratching their heads as to why John McCain picked Sarah Palin for his VP running mate. The following article might help bring it all into focus for you:

Sarah Palin a no-show at antiabortion event, sparking some ire

So far, at least, John McCain’s camp can’t be accused of overexposing Sarah Palin.

Two days after McCain shocked the political world by tapping her as his running mate, she was nowhere to be found on the Sunday talk-show circuit. On Monday, she was kept under wraps as word surfaced of the pregnancy of her 17-year-old unwed daughter.

Today, Palin’s scheduled appearance in St. Paul, Minn., as guest of honor at an afternoon gathering by the Republican National Coalition for Life was canceled. And that didn’t sit well with a leading social conservative.

Phyllis Schlafly, who in the mid-1970s almost single-handedly derailed what had been the expected ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, told ABC News that a McCain aide notified her late Monday that Palin would not be attending the event.

“I think this is clearly somebody in the McCain campaign who doesn’t understand where the votes are coming from,” Schlafly said. “They only told me this at 10 o’clock last night, and it was a call from somebody down the line in the McCain campaign.”

She added: “The pro-lifers who paid $95 to come to this event because of Sarah Palin are going to be very unhappy.” (emphasis mine)

So, there you have it folks. This is not about democrats versus republicans. This is about democrats versus God. And in the religious-right’s tortured minds, they are fighting pure evil. This is the fight for their lives. This is a fight they must win… country be damned!
