#29 Sarah Palin does not support gay marriage or spousal rights for gay couples.

. . . Perhaps because, like the congregants in the church she’s attended since 2002, she may believe that the “power of prayer” can turn gays from homosexual to heterosexual.

“Oh, I don’t—I don’t know, but I’m not one to judge and, you know, I’m from a family and from a community with many, many [...]

#18 Sarah Palin has admitted that she smoked marijuana as a teenager, albeit at a time when Alaska had decriminalized use of the drug.

Half-Baked Alaska
She may look like a librarian, but don’t let that bun and those spectacles fool you. Sarah Palin (aka Mary Jane) is a pothead—or was. She admits to smoking dope when she was younger. But as her campaign rightfully points out, it was legal at the time in the state of Alaska.

Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses—or do they? Let’s face it: It’s a rare man-boy who can resist fantasizing about his hot school librarian. In Palin’s case, she’s burning up more than fantasy at the library. She’s practically burning books.

#1 The Republicans have anointed Sarah Palin “Wal-Mart Mom of the Election.” And it’s playing well in Peoria. Not to mention Wasilla.

In 1996, the Soccer Moms were the key swing votes. In 2004, it was the Security Moms. And now, thanks to the in-your-face discount charm of Sarah Palin, the Wal-Mart Moms are expected to have the last word on November 4.
Who are the Wal-Mart Moms? According to Time magazine, they’re the forty- to fifty-something moms [...]
