Political Baggage: Political Cartoon-3

Sarah Palin is toting too many strong religious beliefs with her to Washington, and if she does become the vice president, it may be overwhelming to a lot of the country. The first image in the cartoon is a large suitcase that is labeled “Sarah’s Former Church of 26 Years” and is covered in bumper stickers that read: “Holy Laughter,” Fundamentalism, “End Times” Worldview, Teaching Creationism in School, Against sex Education, “Tongues Speaking,” Anti-Choice, Gay-Intolerant, “Spiritual Welfare” (Demon-Hunting), and Faith-Healing. This image shows all of Sarah Palin’s beliefs, although some are portrayed as extreme or even mocked. The second image is Sarah Palin pulling the suitcase in the direction of Washington, shown by a sign on the ground, with the words “Extreme Religious Baggage in Tow…” written above her head. This is showing how she is planning to bring all of her religious beliefs with her to the election and campaign, although it may seem rather severe.
