Here’s your clarification. If you want these issues moved to the states, which is their proper place under the constitution, vote for palin, and how she feels personally on the matters like abortion and gay family unit simulation will not matter as she would be a FEDERAL officer. Your state senators, representatives, and governors will be the points of influence on these matters. This orginalist philosophy will help the productive, independent, red states thrive. Meanwhile, the decaying death star blue states will continue to implode until political market forces drive them in the right direction.
If you want the federal government to prostheletize and enforce your religious values at the point of a gun, vote for Huckleberry.
The only issue that truly needs clarification is the disastrous DADT repeal. This was entirely designed to reduce morale and undermine the military. And this IS a federal issue.
I’d be a bit more inclined to buy the Sarah the Federalist line if she wasn’t simultaneously supporting cramming even more Title IX feminist claptrap down the states’ throats and advocating for more of our federal tax $$ to support special needs kids, and forcing us to bail out bad banks to the tune of $800 billion.
Think about that. A federalist when it comes to the life of the unborn, and a ‘make Pelosi proud’ nanny-state social engineer when it comes to women’s sports in schools.
