Thread Name: What does Sarah Palin remind you of?
Subject: RE: What does Sarah Palin remind you of?
"It surprises me that someone who is so ardently anti-religion, especially anti-religion in government, would be so enthusiastically supporting someone who will work to try to increase religion's stranglehold on our government rather than reduce it."


                      It shouldn't. I had made up my mind to support Barack Obama if Hillary was cheated out of the nomination. Until Obama went to that discussion on "Religion and Ethics" (which have nothing to do with one another) and stated flatly that if elected he intended to leave the "Office of Faith Based Initiatives" open.

                      What that means to me is: boat loads of my tax money would be going to buffoons like Reverend Wright. And comments like that coming from a Democratic candidate just made the entire situation seem all that much more hopeless.

                      Better the money go to Pentecostals. As more and more people become aware of how stupid this all is, real change might finally be in the offing.
