http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/02/palins-church-may-have-sh_n_123205.html The 3rd paragraph troubles me deeply. As (I believe) Geena Davis inthe remake of the Fly said,
They're scared of this woman, indeed. Note that I never found Obama's Pastor (Wright) to be a particularly bothersome issue, either.
It's certainly possible that what the Church said about John Kerry, Bush's critics, and 9/11, happened after Palin left the Church in 2002. On the other hand, Obama left Trinity after Wright's comments were made public, in this case, Palin bailed six years earlier. There is a difference. And I didn't find those comments offensive, just stupid.
So Palin is stupid! (And she's a bible-beating homophobe. I want Cheney's daughter to punch her in the face).
Exactly what about it is scary? She's a religious person, cheering on the troops. Maybe cheering on the troops is scary, if your agenda is to see us lose for political gain (the WWW site's agenda).
"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," "So, liek, gawd just told us 2 go kill sum ppl. but he luvs them. srsly"
if it walks like a duck & quacks like a duck... Its a valid scare tactic just like they use @ Faux news about terrorism or Al Gore about ice caps & polar bears. If people are such utter pinheads they can not form an opinion for themselves and need someone or organization to do it for them then they do not deserve to shape policy at all period end of story. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Armageddon-Project/Tom-Sancton/e/9781590512524/?itm=2 re: Matthew 22:21
Palin is much more small-minded and, imho, evil than Bush. Small-minded, evil, crazy and hot. I'm starting to find her very attractive. You guys have read this? http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/kilkenny.asp
"During her mayoral administration most of the actual work of running this small city was turned over to an administrator. She had been pushed to hire this administrator by party power-brokers after she had gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had given rise to a recall campaign. Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a "fiscal conservative." During her 6 years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over 33%. During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the City increased by 38%. This was during a period of low inflation (1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they benefited residents. The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration weren't enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million. ... Sarah complained about the "old boy's club" when she first ran for Mayor, so what did she bring Wasilla? A new set of "old boys". Palin fired most of the experienced staff she inherited. At the City and as Governor she hired or elevated new, inexperienced, obscure people, creating a staff totally dependent on her for their jobs and eternally grateful and fiercely loyal ? loyal to the point of abusing their power to further her personal agenda, as she has acknowledged happened in the case of pressuring the State's top cop (see below)."
Kind of a vague denouncement though, I see empirical numbers that have little to do with partisan politics.
