Palin story keeps getting funnier and funnier
And I was worried this was going to be an acrimonious but essentially dull election! Thank you McCain for picking an incompetent loon for a running mate! Dem Buddy sends me this article about Palin’s wacky church and her religious extremism. Want to see what foreign policy and energy policy might be like under a President Palin?
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,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”
Religion, however, was not strictly a thread in Palin’s foreign policy. It was part of her energy proposals as well. Just prior to discussing Iraq, Alaska’s governor asked the audience to pray for another matter — a $30 billion national gas pipeline project that she wanted built in the state. “I think God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that,” she said.
Tooth of Jeebus!! But if you think she’s nuts, check out some of her Pastor’s ‘greatest hits’:
But Pastor Kalnins has also preached that critics of President Bush will be banished to hell; questioned whether people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted to heaven; charged that the 9/11 terrorist attacks and war in Iraq were part of a war “contending for your faith;” and said that Jesus “operated from that position of war mode.”
The faithful (e.g. the Repug base) will probably be energized by this news. I’m guessing the independents probably won’t hear much about this from the wrong-wing media, and for the rest of us – who is surprised?
Still comedians everywhere are probably secretly contributing oodles to McBush/Palin in the hopes of a Palin presidency.
Stumble it!

Under no circumstances should Sarah Palin be attacked PERSONALLY. She is 100% allowed to be who she is – it’s not her fault that she’s been picked – it’s John McCain’s.
She may have abused power in “Troopergate.”
She fired a Police Chief and Librarian for not supporting her. (The librarian was rehired the P.C. settled out of court.)
She didn’t teach her daughter about birth control (and if President would not want your daughter taught).
She’s anti-choice, even in the cases of rape and incest.
She and her husband were members of an Alaskan separatist party. The leader of which said: “The fires of Hell are glaciers compared to my hate for the American Government.”
She asked her librarian, “How do you ban books.”
Etc. etc.
The “Straight Talk Express” on John McCain’s campaign is clear and straightforward:
I, John McCain, am not fit to lead this great nation.
