Sorry but not all religions are Christian. The one she grew up in is VERY SCARY! Many Christians consider Assemblies of God/ the Pentecostal Church to be a cult. As if speaking in tongues isn’t scary enough, they believe that we are in the “end times" -- the days preceding a world-ending cataclysm bringing Christian redemption and the second coming of Jesus. Tsunamis and the melting of the polar icecaps are believed to be a sign.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
The Rev. Ed Kalnins, pastor of the Pentecostal church, Wasilla Assembly of God, says he has told church members that God put President George W. Bush in office and that America is locked in a "holy war" with terrorists.
The prospect that someone who could possibly serve as president thinks the war is a good thing and is part of God's plan to bring on the rapture makes for a very frightening proposition.

It is SO scary that with the huge issues facing our country--war, the economy, lack of health care, global warming, immigration, poverty, unemployment, weak infrastructure, and many more, that there are still nutcases who think abortion and gay marriage are issues to base their votes on.
Please just cling to your guns and religion and stay away from the voting booth.

Sarah Palin good for America, I don't think so. The thought of her being in the White House running this country is absolutely scary. In another post it said she was dragging McCain down in the polls. I hope she drags him down until she drags him completely OUT!
The question isn't if Palin is good for America.
The question is if the Neoconservative cabal is good for the country.
Palin left any option of ever doing the right thing for the taxpayer when she joined this ticket.
Folks, her, Obama, McCain, Biden, etc. are going to do exactly what the people(Dem and GOP parties) who put them in office tell them to do. This is a lather, rinse and repeat of the same old sh*t.
Borrow, print, tax and spend our way into hyper-inflation and bankruptcy. Take an objective look around, we're already there.
*edit* Just to prove a point about putting her on the ticket is politically motivated:
Someone please tell me(or show me) if she is more seasoned and a better business person than Romney.
You've got a multi-billion dollar corproration in serious, serious trouble, who do you hire to run it? Who has the best chance to turn it around?
Romney or Palin?
Sorry, but it is not even close....

Moby,
I assume you've heard her say she practices glossalalia, or are you passing on a rumor -- gossip?
As the icecaps are not melting, we can count that out. Funny how the global warmers and Pentecostals converge on erroneous beliefs.
Yes, the preacher stated the US is locked in a "holy war withe terrorists," so do the jehadim.
Denying that someone is trying to kill you, when he states he is and backs up his statements with action, represents failure to recognize reality.

She will!!
Just imagine if Sarah Palin was having to deal with the situation we are finding ourselves in right now. The United States is currently straddling absolute economic obliteration which could easily result in a global disaster unless (and perhaps in spite) drastic action is taken tight now.
We don't need a hockey mom with community college education who will speak in tongues all the while hoping that Gods will will be done.
This is just a joke and, if not for any other reason, John McCains choice for VP is evidence that he is NOT up to the job.
Abortion and gay marriage are not only controversdial but also the VERY LEAST of the problems we face in America right now. If you don't understand this, you really should just stay home on election day.

I think Sarah Palin did quite a bit to improve the ecomony of Alaska...the area she was in charge of. For O'bama's brief (143 days) in the Senate, he rarely even showed up to vote and represent the people who voted him in. Will he do the same for the US? My vote is still for
Sara Palin.

Mr Roark,
DESPITE WHATEVER MAY most certainly melting and global warming IS happening. No one disputes this fact (except you). And we ARE polluting the earth with carbon emmissions.
I ask you this....IS IT WORTH TAKING A CHANCE CONSIDERING WHAT IS AT STAKE?
Could it POSSIBLY be that certain people have motivations to DISCREDIT that global warming is man made?
If you recall, when the tabacco industry was on trial, they were able to bring forth many witnesses who made the claim that cigarette smoking was NOT harmfull to anyone health. However, I think we all now recognize that those witnesses all had motivations to make these claims.
Could it not be possible that the same it true with those who discredit that global warming is man made? The oil industry and money can be very influential and easy motivation for anyone to claim that global warming IS NOT man made.
But can you name anything or anyone who would benefit from saying that global warming IS man made?

McCain missed 64% of the votes (411 votes missed), Obama missed 48.5 (294 votes missed)
110th Missed Votes
According to the Boston Globe, the fiscal budget of Alaska did grow thanks to explosive growth in oil and gas profits:
Soaring oil prices and a higher windfall oil profits tax - an increase pushed through by Palin, now the Republican vice presidential nominee - have state coffers overflowing with petrodollars. The Alaska oil industry calculates that its annual payments to the state doubled in a single year to $10.2 billion.
Windfall Profits Tax on Oil, where have I heard That before?
The Globe Also Noted:
And Alaska residents are getting their cut. Starting this week, every Alaskan who has lived in the state more than a year will receive $1,200 from the state, a total of about $756 million in rebates to offset high energy costs in the 49th state. That's on top of the perennial check each will receive from the state's oil revenue-endowed Permanent Fund, this year a record $2,069 per resident. The large Palin family is eligible to receive more than $19,000 from the combined payments.
Alaska Spending Under Palin

This is really a mute point because (if you understand how Congress works) passing on a vote is often a method used to speed along legislation. More important is if the Senator was present or not (McCain present 62% of votes and Obama 91%)

Trueblue,
“DESPITE WHATEVER MAY most certainly melting and global warming IS happening. No one disputes this fact (except you). And we ARE polluting the earth with carbon emmissions.”
Since 2002, the world has experience global cooling!
An expression made when facts are shown to be the opposite is an expression of faith.
No one denies global warming, except me and 31,000 scientists!

Remember when then those espousing faith in global warming said the entire arctic ice cap would melt in the summer 2008?
Arctic Sea Ice Melt Season Officially Over; ice up over 9% from last year
We have news from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). They say: The melt is over. And we’ve added 9.4% ice coverage from this time last year. Though it appears NSIDC is attempting to downplay this in their web page announcement today, one can safely say that despite irrational predictions seen earlier this year, we didn’t reach an “ice free north pole” nor a new record low for sea ice extent.

Antarctic Sea Ice Increases over Past Two Decades
22 August 2002
In a surprising departure from other findings that point to a warming planet, a NASA researcher has found that the amount of ice in the Antarctic increased from 1979 to 1999, as measured by satellites.
Many recent findings have detailed the decline of the ice cap in the Arctic, at the top of the world. These new results from the Southern Hemisphere imply that global climate change involves regional variations.
Changes in ice cover are important not only because they indicate temperature changes that have occurred; the changes can effect future temperatures. With more ice, more solar radiation is reflected away from Earth. The ice also insulates oceans from the atmosphere. Less ice has the opposite effects.
In the new study, published in the Annals of Glaciology, Claire Parkinson of NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center analyzed the length of the sea ice season throughout the Southern Ocean to obtain trends in sea ice coverage. On average, the area where sea ice seasons have lengthened by at least one day per year is roughly twice as large as the area where sea ice seasons have shortened by at least one day per year.

Permanent Fund
The Alaska Permanent Fund is a legislatively controlled appropriation established in 1976 to manage a surplus in state petroleum revenues from the recently constructed Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. From its initial principal of $734,000, the fund has grown to $38 billion as a result of oil royalties and capital investment programs.[41] Starting in 1982, dividends from the fund's annual growth have been paid out each year to eligible Alaskans, ranging from $331.29 in 1984 to $1963.86 in 2000. Every year, the state legislature takes out 8 percent from the earnings, puts 3 percent back into the principal for inflation proofing, and the remaining 5 percent is distributed to all qualifying Alaskans. To qualify for the Alaska State Permanent Fund one must have lived in the state for a minimum of 11 months, and maintain constant residency. [42]
Taxes
Alaska has the lowest individual tax burden in the United States,[43] and is one of only five states with no state sales tax and one of seven states that do not levy an individual income tax. To finance state government operations, Alaska depends primarily on petroleum revenues and federal subsidies. The Department of Revenue Tax Division reports regularly on the state's revenue sources. The Department also issues an annual overview of its operations, including new state laws that directly affect the tax division.
While Alaska has no state sales tax, 89 municipalities collect a local sales tax, from 1% to 7.5%, typically 3% to 5%. Other local taxes levied include raw fish taxes, hotel, motel, and B&B 'bed' taxes, severance taxes, liquor and tobacco] taxes, gaming (pull tabs) taxes, tire taxes and fuel transfer taxes. A percentage of revenue collected from certain state taxes and license fees (such as petroleum, aviation motor fuel, telephone cooperative) is shared with municipalities in Alaska.
Property taxes are relatively low, with only 25 of 161 incorporated municipalities or boroughs in the state assessing property taxes.[citation needed] Fairbanks has one of the highest property taxes in the state as no sales or income taxes are assessed in the Fairbanks North Star Borough (FNSB). A sales tax for the FNSB has been voted on many times, but has yet to be approved, leading law makers to increase taxes dramatically on other goods such as liquor and tobacco. The average per capita property tax paid in all municipalities, excluding oil and gas properties, was US$999 (2003 data).[citation needed]
In 2008 the Tax Foundation ranked Alaska as having the 4th most "business friendly" tax policy. Superior states were Wyoming, Nevada, and South Dakota.
