    Better way to combat Sarah

    Show that she really is a liberal! We have been trying to discredit her by showing what a right-wing fundamentalist she is. But... we would get further if we found liberal things in her record, or if we just spun the stories differently.

    For example, maybe, we could say that Sarah caved in to a liberal ACLU librarian, and allowed dangerous homosexual books on the library shelves. Or, we can point out that she TRIPLED the taxes on Alaskan oil companies. Oh the humanity!

    Has she ever done anything at all to repeal Alaska's liberal pro-choice abortion laws?!

    There more than one way to skin a pit bull.
