Politics

I've been trying to come up with some reasons someone like me (who nearly voted for Hillary in the primary) might cross over and support McCain now that he has chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate. Here's what I've got so far:

1. We will save taxpayer dollars because we won't have to pay Palin as much as we would a man.

2. More jobs will be created when prisons have to have nurses and midwives on staff to deal with all those pesky pregnant victims of incest and rape who were arrested and convicted when they tried to obtain illegal abortions once Roe v. Wade is overturned.

3. More parents will have their children apply to the private school I teach at because independent schools will be the only ones that teach about evolution. So my job is more secure.

4. We'll taxpayer money on rape kits.

5. Polar bear rugs should be really inexpensive for a bit while there's a glut on the market, and then they should be worth a LOT. It's a great investment.

6. I haven't quite figured out how this works to my benefit, but I'm pretty sure in that administration "liberals" will be treated kind of the same way that "Jews" or "gypsies" or "homosexuals" were treated in Germany in the late 1930s to mid 1940s. If anyone has an idea about this might be a good thing, let me know.
