You're basing that on what, EXACTLY?

We all tend to see in others what we see in ourselves.

She wants Creation Science taught in public schools. Of course,
you two dimwits may think that is a good idea, I suppose.

Can't stand dissenting views being presented, eh, Gene? Also, I
think the position is a bit more complex than how you present
it.

Of course it is. The Dems are sounding increasingly shrill and
hysterical at her choice for VP. Some are reduced to accusing her of
faking a pregnancy to hide her daughter's naughtyness, because she
"didn't look pregnant at six months." Heh. Escept she clearly is
pregnant later.

Dr. Pournelle thinks they are waking up to the fact that they nominated
the equivalent of McGovern & McGovern.

http://www.jerrypournelle.com/view/2008/Q3/view533.html

"...according to both the ADA and the ACU Obama is the most liberal of
the senators, and Biden is third most. Someone mentioned Kerry: I point
out that Obama was not in the Senate when Kerry reported for duty as
candidate for president. On issues where you can find a record, Obama is
indistinguishable from McGovern. Were he not black the superdelegates
would have bounced him first thing: that is why the Democrats invented
superdelegates, a sort of anti-McGovern insurance. McGovern carried one
state and the District of Columbia. The superdelegates mostly hold
elective office.

The American people identify themselves as moderate to conservative. To
the extent that we can identify Obama's policies, he appears to have
about the same as McGovern did. I expect that will become reasonably
well known over the next few months. Now it is possible that Obama will
overcome this handicap by sheer personality and charisma, but it is by
no means inevitable. Most of us understand that change is not always
reform, and much change is for the worse. Of course Obama will
triangulate to the center as quickly as possible. McCain doesn't need to
do that; the country club Republicans of which he is a prime example
have always tried to claim the political center, to the dismay of the
conservative Republicans. Palin will undoubtedly stay where she has
always been, conservative personally and libertarian-republican
politically. Were matters left to her, she would leave a great number of
issues to the states -- as would I. I'd rather see her President than
McCain, but we live with the choices we have."

It's gonna be an entertaining election, from here on out. In a
"watching the monkeys throw their poo at the tourists" sort of way.
