I'm sorry, this whole article has me scratching my head. Half of it is conspiracy theories and biblical poppycock and the other is stuff that just makes me go "And..."?

McCain picked Palin because he wanted a woman on the ticket to pick up stray Hillary votes. They came right out and said it at the convention. This is cynical politics, certainly, but misogyny? And misandry from Palin? Because she named her sons Track and Trig? Giving a boy with Down's syndrome a name that's high school shorthand for Triganometry? WTF? I could make a better case for child abuse.

The waffle about none of the politicians doing enough for the transgendered and transsexual and intersexed and I forget the rest of the relevant terms and groups that didn't get a shout-out... "And...?" On one side, you've got whacko Christians who want Evolution out of schools and on the other you've got pragmatists who are basically fine with the idea of gay rights but don't like that the issue helped cost them the last election and look at the mess the country's gotten in since.
