Palin on the Issues

Wikipedia is a well-known online resource similar to Encyclopedias of old. I have found some mistakes as posted on Wikipedia from time to time but generally speaking, it is considered a fairly reputable source.

Since there is so little information established about Sarah Palin and her position on issues, I turned to Wikipedia for more information. There, I found a short, sweet list of topics and her purported positions on each. I admit that some of her responses are sharp and appealing, ex: "What will you do with Alaska's new state jet?" A: "Figure out how to sell it."

The following seems to be a fairly thorough listing of her position on the issues complete with referenced citings. These are very similar to that which is published ontheissues.org.

I find it particularly interesting that she is against stem cell research, abortion even in the event of rape or incest, sex education in schools, same-sex marriage (however, in August of '08 she vetoed a bill that denied benefits to gays stating it was unconstitutional). Props for that. She also stated to have smoked pot when it was legal in Alaska. Not sure what year that was, but it's worth mentioning.
