What is funny, is that 300 years ago, the conservative religious nuts of the day used to BURN women who heard voices from god...

Do we REALLY need idiots like this running the country?

I wonder how that plays to the moderates who are of a more modern intellectually supported faith? Can't be good.

Palin is a pentecostal which is like the messianic visions of GW on speed. If the evangelicals want this lunatic to represent them, get ready for another four years being humiliated by goofy fringe behavior that everyone will characterize as how real Christians live and think. What a train wreck Palin is going to be.

We already have idiots running the country, and don't need more. But in these enlightened times, burning Sarah Palin would be politically incorrect.

Ever the peace-maker, aren't you?

If I ever meet a republican with an "intellectually supported faith" I will bet the farm that they are a wealthy agnostic...

The only intellectually supported faith I have ever found is the one where we live until we die, and if there IS anything on the other side, we'll know when we get there.

This is one scary woman.

Two years as President and she launches an ICBM at Moscow, or Tehran.

What didn't you understand about that? I understood it just fine. It was a brilliant answer that whooshed right over the heads of crazy Pentecostal women who hear voices in their head and think its God, oh, you aren't one of those women.. so sorry to hear... you have my sympathies, Brittle Fingers.

Let's also remember that she's a woman of faith and was addressing a group of ministry students.

I have no problem with what she said.

One man declines to tell you what God says because he doesnt consider himself qualified to speak for God. That is what the pay grade comment meant in case you have trouble understanding english statements. Palin however is happy to tell you that God wanted us to sqander our military invading the wrong country in Iraq.

I detect you are worried and you need to assume the worst to make you feel better at night. I guess a man who speaks eloquently with skeletons in the closet makes you feel better, than a man who does not speak eloquently but has the character to stand for what he believes in!! You need to worry!!

I am a former Democrat-I vote for experience, maverick style. Not for a eloquent, pretty boy who thinks his Ivy League lifestyle is something we all can relate too. My intuition has NEVER failed me!! NEVER! I am going with somebody who will protect me, not somebody who will put me out of business because several people who are not citizens need some health care.
