A'ight, I'm about to git mad

about the constant looking down on Sarah Palin over her faith.

I accept the fact that being an evangelical Christian is unpopular, loathed even, in America. That's the norm. But, this snarky little superiority, casting-believers-as-hicks thing is just one straw too much for this camel's back.

Drudge links today to a story about the hacking into Gov. Palin's Yahoo! email account (why she set up a Y! email for government purposes, I'll never know, but that's beside the point). The story goes out of its way to mention an email by an appointee of Palin's who sent her a message mentioning that she's praying for Gov. Palin. The only reason to mention that email is to imply that this lady is a stupid Christian and she surrounds herself with stupid Christians and that she's dangerous because she's a stupid Christian, as opposed to Obama, who is the light of the world (and, oh, yeah, he's-not-a-Muslim-he's-a-Christian).

I've given this a lot of thought. I've considered what I would do, how I would feel about this thing with Gov. Palin and the media, if I were still committed to not voting for McCain. Let me qualify with this: I'm not overwhelmed with Gov. Palin. IMHO, Romney was the best pick in terms of pure qualification and substance. But, VP's aren't picked for that reason most of the time, nor was Gov. Palin. She's doing what she was expected to do, I believe; but, moreover, I believe she's probably a sufficiently qualified person to be VP and I hope if elected, McCain stays healthy. That said, with what's going on in the press, I believe I'd jump over any reservations I had about her and vote for her for PRESIDENT just to show the media that they are not the ones in control of this thing.
That presumes, of course, that enough other people feel enough of the same way to make her a legitimate contender to win, which in this case they seem to.

I cannot stand people on both coasts who are compelled by their own arrogance to dismiss the mores of the heartland, the mores of people of believe in God and actually have the nerve to order their lives around God instead of government. I hope that people turn out in teeming masses to vote for McCain, people who get vocal enough about their disdain for the media that we get to see them say so on TV.

Response: I wonder if these type of attacks will help the "christian" demoncrats to wake up to who they are leagued with.

Really? Welcome to the liberal news media and the modern Democratic Party.

(why she set up a Y! email for government purposes, I'll never know, but that's beside the point).

Govt Tech Administrators. Any employer has the right to access and read you're email. She was probably protecting her boat from the tech administrators. But now she's swimming in a larger pond.

We here are all enamored by this pick. Fantastic choice imho. The media is also enamored and Obama is frustrated with his inability to get news coverage. It has solidified his [ McCains ] base and drawn sharp contrasts in so many ways.

Just think this through for a moment...

The entire liberal left, liberal media, now underground rogue porn pushing computer hackers... are ALL AFRAID of an Alaskan Mom with 5 kids. An admitted praying woman with integrity, honor, and a servants heart. Wrap your mind around this basic concept. This speaks spiritual battles of folklore.

If this simple mom CAN reform even a few things she's over in Washington as she has done Alaska. Cut those budgets 80%. Return money back to the people. She will be a common folk hero for decades to come. That is her possible future if she isn't gunned down... because I don't think you see how big this really is. She stands for everything the left hates. The rage is building more and more everyday.


Finally. This has also brought together the conservative and true religious base of the republican party. See how excited real women are... can you sense it? It was absolutely extraordinary imho. John McCain has rebuilt the modern conservative republican party all by himself... with just one pick.

I like Romney absolutely.. but he would not have the ability to do any of this.

I don't believe she was conducting gov business.

I am tired of those attacks to but they will intensify.

Now I am going back to clinging my guns and religion

I understand clearly the political impact of the choice. I said the day after it or so that Bill Clinton himself may have had a hand in it because it was so shrewd (I was joking, but we're on the same page). It was bigger than they could have ever hoped. And, it had the intended effect.

My not being overwhelmed with her is simply on the resume. I don't think she's as good as Romney, that's it. I like her. I'm gonna vote for her. But, my only point in saying I'm not overwhelmed with her is simply to say that even if I didn't like her so much, I'd vote for her with my middle finger on the lever just for the sake of the media.

Of course, I'm not surprised by their hatred of her. None of us are. We know the score. But, I've had it up over my eyeballs with the media about it. I usually just disregard them because they pursue leftist causes. Now, I'm really ticked off because of the display of their attitude, and their "in your face" approach with it. Especially now that Obama has practically decided to incite a race war with his surrogates out there saying race is the only reason not to vote for him and him personally telling his people to get in the faces of Republicans and argue with them. All I can say is if one of his "ambassadors" gets in mine, I'm going to give him a message of my own that he can relay to his superiors.
