Does the majority really believe we are better off with McCain's/Palin's mentality? ?

Question

I am reading a lot about Mrs. Palin and was telling a friend today she is the 50's mentality in a 2008 package. And that scares me because I wonder where we are as a county? Have we really gotten over the race issues? I was beginning to think we were, here is this self made black man running against the big Washington Clinton political machine. And he won, people were listening to his message, but then Palin came along. Still think it was a brilliant move on Little McCain's part. She is into guns, Christianity, social conservative "values", pro-life, capitol punishment, anti gay marriage and all the other 50's era nonsense. The irony is if she is elected the woman's liberation movement would take giant (more descriptively "gargantuan") step backwards. A scary thing is some people are okay with that, just because she is a woman and they want a woman in the White House. I do not care what color Mr. Obama is, I believe in his ideas and fell it a plus he is a American with African heritage. Is that really what our county wants?

Update:

X, What has McCain/Palin have to offer? We need a change in Washington and it is not going to come from McCain/Palin. It will be business as usual, the oil companies will still get perks (look at her record in Alaska), we will still put large corporate interests above the common peoples, we will still have the narrow minded view on gay marriage and religion. I can not believe the American people want that!

I can understand women's frustrations that they are still underrepresented in government.  What I can't understand is how some women could support someone who would do nothing but strip women of their rights

At any rate, hold out hope.  The polls are already showing that McCain's post-convention bump is dwindling and many analysts predict that Obama will win.  It may just be an electoral win, but oh well.  We can consider it revenge for 2000.

Ya know..the key problem here is that all Obama HAS is a message.  People have lost faith in it because he has never accomplished anything politically, or changed anything in his life.  His message has no meat!  That is why his slide has begun

EDIT:  Lmao, cmon now.  Im gonna be dead honest here; neither of them will bring us change, and it is naive to think so.  The American public will start getting changes when it starts voting for 3rd party candidates

A woman succeeding set back the women's liberation movement?

what movement are you a member of?   You mean women only succeed if and only IF they agree with your ideas?  Who died and left you  in charge?

Palin's personal beliefs, my personal beliefs, and your personal beliefs are not what we are voting on.  The VP swears to uphold the laws and constitution of this country......not force their beliefs on others.

I swear you liberals make Chicken Little look like BraveHeart.
