Palin says the fertilized egg is a human being from the moment of conception. To support that view she needs to also demand that when a pregnancy is determined a Certificate of Conception of some sort be issued and if a live healthy birth is not forthcoming in a normal amount of time an investigation occur to determine where that person is or why they are injured, with penalties, where appropriate, no different than if it was anyone else. Will she back up her claim?
Scully, Rove & Co. have obviously decided that there's no need to worry about reality interfering with the story they're selling the American public about Palin and McCain, who they are, and what their election would mean for us. They've decided (after thorough research, mind you) that what really matters is not credibility or evidence to support their claims, but providing a narrative for people who WANT to believe.
Of course, thinking people don't believe Palin any more than we believed Bush. Still, Scully has scored a great victory; before now, the McCain campaign didn't even have a Bush. The base was decidedly unexcited about McCain and probably depressed about his chances of defeating the change candidate in a political climate so hostile to the current administration, the current party in power - theirs.
Now suddenly they have a Bush who can speak English with convincing inflection and who is young enough and non-status-quo enough to help them co-opt the change message with a straight face, despite the fact that they've been in power for the past eight years and that the Republican-McCain-Palin platform promotes the same policies and principles that have brought us where we are today, that have provoked such a rousing cry for change.
You'd expect that Obama knows that presidential candidates do not
tangle with the VP opponents. It's a clever Repo tactic, to 'change' that
tradition, so expect such challenges to be ignored. They'd better be.
If Palin has a Dick Cheney, he'd look a lot like Karl Rove. Repos make
their own reality. We know that.
