Ah, but they ARE getting to know her now. Why, she is a conservative Catholic, a mother of five, a grandmother who cherishes babies - as American as Apple Pie and San Francisco. (Oops, strike San Francisco.)
And she believes in abortion on demand, a staunch supporter of gay marriage, wants to raise our taxes in every opportunity she has, wants to create as large number of people who are on welfare and hence get their votes, etc . and all the destructive ideas of being a left wing liberal from the San Francisco.
Sorry I forgot that she wants us defeated in Iraq by cutting and running from there, she wants to give a bill of right to the terrorists, and she hates President Bush and Republicans more than she hates the terrorists.
