Here are her words from her blog.
I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin.
I couldn't be more supportive of a woman in office, but let's face it, it comes down to the person, and their beliefs, male or female.
Is it a sin to be gay? Should it be a sin to be straight? Or to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even to have a child out of wedlock?
I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States, only 4 years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor. Which is probably all she is qualified to be... Also interesting that she got her passport in 2006.. And that she is not fond of environmental protection considering she's FOR drilling for oil in some of our protected land.... Well hey, if she wants to drill for oil, she should DO IT IN HER OWN backyard. This really shows me her complete lack of real preparation to become the second most powerful person in this country.
Hmmmm-All of this gets me going-Fear, Anxiety, Concern, Disappointment, and Stress come into play...
Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?
I know that the most important thing about this election is that people need to exercise their right to vote, regardless of their choice... I would have liked to have remained impartial, however I am afraid that the "lipstick on a pig" comments will overshadow the issues and the fact that I believe Barack Obama is the best choice, in this election, for president...
Palin's Desire to "save and convert the gays"-really??
According to this Associated Press story, the church of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is hosting a kind of conference devoted to the "conversion of Gays" -- no kidding.
Here's the AP text:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ? Gov. Sarah Palin's church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.
You'll be encouraged by the power of God's love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality," according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed since she was a child.
Palin's conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain's candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.

I feel it's necessary for me to clarify that I am not against Sarah Palin as a mother or woman.
Women have come a long way in the fight to have the choice over what we do with our bodies... And its frightening to see that a woman in 2008 would negate all of that.
Oh, and...Hint Hint Pali Pal- Don't pose for anymore tabloid covers, you're not a celebrity, you're running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!
And in the words of Pamela Anderson, "She can suck it"..
Lindsay- "I have faith that this country will be all that it can be with the proper guidance. I really hope that all of you make your decisions based on the facts and what feels right to you in your heart-vote for obama!"
Samantha- "I love this country- however i wasn't born here and don't have the right to vote- so i beg of you all to really do your research and be educated when you cast your vote this coming november.... and if you're in doubt- vote for obama! Mainly because if she gets elected my green card probably won't get renewed!!!"

I take issue with a great deal of this Lohan's remarks but I will only cover a few here. First up is this statement:
I couldn't be more supportive of a woman in office, but let's face it, it comes down to the person, and their beliefs, male or female.
Key words here would be "and their beliefs". Not that it's wrong but instead of searching out Gov. Palins "beliefs" and from there making intelligent arguments as to why she disagrees, Lohan goes by second hand tidbits and sound bites and from there establishes Gov. Palin's "beliefs". In short Lohan has crafted a strawman so she can easily knock it down.
Is it a sin to be gay? Should it be a sin to be straight? Or to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even to have a child out of wedlock?
Gov. Palin never made the rule that homosexuality was a sin, nor pre-marital sex was a sin. Rather Scripture states that it is.
Gov. Palin is a Christian therefore she reads and tries to follow the tenets of Christianity which are set by Scripture. In other words God declared what "sin" is and if we wish to be technical about it according to Scripture we are ALL found to be in sin. So Lohan's beef should be directed towards God, not Gov. Palin.
I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States, only 4 years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor. Which is probably all she is qualified to be... Also interesting that she got her passport in 2006.. And that she is not fond of environmental protection considering she's FOR drilling for oil in some of our protected land.... Well hey, if she wants to drill for oil, she should DO IT IN HER OWN backyard. This really shows me her complete lack of real preparation to become the second most powerful person in this country.
Wow, this is really odd because according to Lohan's logic any person having a change of path in their lives should not be allowed to do so. If Lohan followed her own reasoning here should she be allowed to have a singing career plus be an actress? I mean which was she first? Is she qualified to be a singer?
Lohan goes on to state that "only 4 years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor" but how is that possible when Mrs. Palin chaired the Alaskan Oil and Gas Comission from 2002 to 2004? She was a journalist back in the late 80's if I am correct so Lohan needs to do more research before throwing up such nonsense.
Hey Lindsay.....Gov. Palin IS wanting to drill in her own backyard, it's called "Anwar" and the place is pretty desolate. Grab a National Geographic book every so often, or an Atlas, and look them over. Ah, ya see what I just did there Lindsay? I ASSUMED you don't know much about geography and that you're limited in your knowledge of current events (which some may argue makes you perfectly qualified to be an actress) based on a few comments you made. That though would be unfair, correct?
I know that the most important thing about this election is that people need to exercise their right to vote, regardless of their choice... I would have liked to have remained impartial, however I am afraid that the "lipstick on a pig" comments will overshadow the issues and the fact that I believe Barack Obama is the best choice, in this election, for president...
Miss Lohan points to an AP news article to support her claim that Gov. Palin is praying to "save and convert gays" but where is that qoute at within the article from Gov. Palin? The article is in error because that church was not holding the conference but rather had a flyer of the conference within their church bulletin.
Also, once again using Lohan's reasoning and misplaced logic, if Sarah Palin is to be judged for what her church teaches and their associations then Lohan must also hold Obama responsible for his old churches teachings and associations. Will she do that?
Oh, and...Hint Hint Pali Pal- Don't pose for anymore tabloid covers, you're not a celebrity, you're running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!How odd that Lohan makes this statement right after stating this.
I feel it's necessary for me to clarify that I am not against Sarah Palin as a mother or woman.Really? Who is Lohan to state who is and who isn't a "celebrity"? This is really strange coming from a girl who goes to great strides to be on tabloid covers yet she chastises Sarah Palin for being on them? Sarah Palin is not chasing down the media but rather the media is hunting her down. Stop the double standard Lohan, it's not very becoming of your "celebrity" status.
This closing statement from Miss Lohan says it all really. It shows just how ignorant and out of touch Lohan and many Hollywood people are.
I really hope that all of you make your decisions based on the facts and what feels right to you in your heart-vote for obama!"First Lohan wants us to base our choice "on the facts" and then includes "feelings" in the tools of decisions. A persons "feelings" are not based on objective facts or evidence but rather......feelings. Feelings are subjective and come and go like high tide.
Then after saying everyone should base their choice on "facts" she then tells everyone to "vote for Obama" ! Hey, what happened to my choice based on facts?
Closing thoughts -
Miss Lohan, it is the right of every American to freely voice their opinions but when you post up such illogical nonsense it doesn't do much for your image or to be taken seriously. Think deeply upon a subject before you speak for it's better to remain quite and be thought a fool then to speak and remove all doubt.
