Speaking of Palin... what a crack pot. She needs to take a few lessons from Hilary... do you agree that people should be fired for personal reasons? It's not acceptable, but she thinks it is especially since she had done it.... But before I get into that, let me tell you how she was picked for to be McCain's VP. Palin was at the Mccain mansion for an interview with John, and after a half hour long interview, she was picked. Any normal person would have done research to pick the best candidate for the VP... Only half hour long interview...are you out of your mind McCain? If McCain, really cares about the future of our country, he should have seen that she is and will never be an acceptable candidate for the job at hand.
Where to start....the bridge to nowhere, how she lied on campaign tours, how she refers to the war in Iraq as a conflict mandated by God, being involved in witch hunts, her failed leadership as mayor of Wasilla, setting bounties on animals and promote killings of animals, fired people for personal reasons, scandals, and her refusal to hire any black people. This is just a small list of things that I'll be talking about dealing with Palin. There is so much wrong with her and the things she's done and was involved with that she should not be our VP.
The Wasilla Assembly of God on numerous accounts has allowed Thomas Muthee to preach at the church. Palin, for 20 years, is a member of this church. This church has praised Muthee because "he has established and pastors hundreds of churches in Kenya. When Palin was beginning her campaign for governor of Alaska, she had Muthee pray over her, asking God to make her governor. Her June 8, 2008 speech at her church she said that she believes that Muthee's prayer is responsible for getting her into the governors' seat." On numerous accounts Muthee has led actual old school Salem style witch hunts. Here is one of the many videos about this. This is live from MSNBC.
Palin is closely tied to Muthee who not only believes in witchcraft, but actively battled it. "There was an actual exorcism from witchcraft that was conducted on Palin by pastor Muthee at her extremist church, the Wasilla Assembly of God." As the pastor laid his hands on her he said "In the name of Jesus, every form of witchcraft is what you rebuke. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, father make away now."
There are many videos of evidence, straight from her church of this. Its part of the proof about how out of touch Sarah Palin is with not merely mainstream American politics and culture, but how far from mainstream of modern-Christianity she is.
Let's talk about the national embarrassment called the bridge to nowhere that Palin supported from day one or should I say until she found that it would benefit her more if she gave up that dream. This bridge that Palin backed/supported was to connect Ketchikan to Gravina Island that had 50 inhabitants. This was to cost the federal tax payers 398 million dollars because of some people complained about the 15 to 30 minute ferry ride and a small $6 fee per car.
"This bridge has become an object of national ridicule and a symbol of the fiscal irresponsibility of many in congress toward the money that is entrusted to them." Sarah Palin fought for the bridge to nowhere instead of allowing part of the federal money to go to New Orleans for hurricane relief. What a very selfish person. But finally after people in congress told her how she would still be able to benefit from this if she gave up on the idea of the bridge, she had supported. They told her that 75 million would go to Louisiana and the rest, 148 million, would go to Alaska for road projects. This once priority project in Alaska was soon abandoned and they, Alaska, benefited even more from it.
Palin initially supported the bridge to nowhere, but lied several times during campaign tours about not supporting it... Like this for example she said during her acceptance speech for to be the VP pick for McCain, Sarah Palin said that she supports reforms that end the abuse of earmark spending by congress and she opposed federal funding for a controversial bridge to a sparsely populated island. She lied in her nationally televised speech about supporting the bridge along with several other times during her campaign tours...what else is she going to lie about?
Even though she publically stated that she supports reforms that end the abuse of earmark spending, she lied and her record proves it. An example was while mayor of Wasilla, 1996-2002, she hired a Washington lobbying firm that helped secure $8 million in congressionally directed spending projects known as earmarks.
I agree with what you wrote. As a country, we need to realize how wrong such a choice is. I'm not saying that Obama and Biden are the best choice, but McCain and Palin is definitely the wrong choice that we can possible make.

thanks for your comment! I agree with all that you said... that's why I'm a green party supporter. The next election Palin wants to run for presidency...that is going to be very interesting and I think even more crazier than this election...
