Huffington: Witch Hunter Annoints Sarah Palin
psy:
--- Quote from: "Guest" ---I am embarrassed to be a democrat today, geeesh, Why cant we stick to the issues instead of trying to throw mud on everyone? It is so obvious and makes our party look stupid as usual.
--- End quote ---
Our Party? Who says I'm a democrat. I think both parties suck.
--- Quote ---Obama was running a great campaign, he was talking about his position on health care, the economy, working class etc. ever since the convention all we hear is how Palin isn’t ready to be president… her husband is the father of her daughters baby? Now her religious affiliation, is Obama trying to cover his reverend wright association? Whats up with all of this? Lets address McCain and his record and put the issues on the table for the people to review and decide upon.
Now,today, we Have Obama coming on TV (in response to McCain suspending his campaign) saying It was his idea to suspend the campaign so that they can focus on the economic issues and fumbled through a few Q and A’s trying to point his finger instead of being concerned about the financial crisis. I think they should both be heading to Washington and do their current jobs as senators to help solve the financial crisis. Obama looks like an idiot while his Veep sits home watching commercials.
If he cant be prepared to make last minute decisions how can we depend on him as president. He should go to Washington with McCain and do his job and try to solve this issue.

Religious affiliation relevant? If it affects her policies and outlook on the world, yes. If the "religion" is cult-like (not necessarily a cult, but has cultic elements), definitely. If the religion openly states it's goals are to influence public policy, yes. This "religious" church is forbidding reporters from taking video inside the church, believes that only those in their church are saved, believes in witch hunts, and has front groups, such as Teen Challenge (among other things). All this is very relevant to me if she is a member of that organization or openly endorsed by it. I do not want the theological interpretations of a fanatical religious organization driving public policy, or further infringing on my personal liberties. There is a separation of church and state for a reason. The fact that the government, under the faith based initiative, is already funding church front groups such as Teen Challenge (which require conversion as a condition of graduation) already greatly concerns me.
I'm not saying religious persons should be barred from office. What I am saying is that the above concerns are real, and whether or not they are relevant is up to the voters to decide on an individual basis.

psy, many catholics believe it is okay to have sex before marriage and many have abortions even though it means they could be excommunicated. Most Cathiolics don’t follow the popes rules a hundred percent of the time. Palin hasn’t attended the church since early 2000’s. Just because her church preaches stuff doesnt mean she practices everything they say. She never said she would proved religion for the masses, she said she would like to focus on helping children with special needs. dont get so hung up on people religions. a lot of people go for social reasons

What does Palin practice, folks? Fahrenheit 451, for one. She tried to get a librarian fired because the woman did not believe in banning certain books from the Alaskan library system. She wants creationism taught in all schools. There's a YouTube clip out there of Palin gunning down wolves with a shotgun from a helicopter. The wolves are on snow-covered tundra, no way for them to escape. Real nice sportsmanship, there. Apparently she wants to eliminate wolves from Alaska. Special needs? She doesn't care about YOUR special needs child, only her own, one that has served her quite well as a poster child flaunted in front of every nay-sayer's face as a means of shaming them into silence. She's a vindictive bully; google "troopergate." She uses governmental resources, and governmental powers, to grind her own personal axes in the most egregious fashion, practically flaunting it in people's faces that she knows how to work the system like a good ol' boy...

Rich people finance elections to distract and entertain the masses. It doesn't matter who wins because whoever it is, big money owns them. Now they got the whole country arguing about palin and babies, reverends and muslims. They've been robbing america blind for years and every few years they invest some money to distract people into thinking they are making the choice. So go ahead and argue with how different mcane, obama or palin will be, but your life will not be any different no matter who wins. You are all slaves and subsidize your own masters because youre just a bunch of american suckers.
