		<description>Heavenly Father must be associated with other religions, since I&#039;m family with that one being a Mormon name for God used a lot.

Regardless, Palin is going to with us a long time, unless of course, there&#039;s enough attention given to other people over the next 3 years.</description>

		<description>FresnoMikey, vandalism is never appropriate.  Don&#039;t do stuff like that; at the very least, you taint by association those who would otherwise agree with your views.

		<description>On the back of van McCain/Palin window decal last October I wrote asshole and idiot.  Unfortunately, the driver was in the driver seat, yelled at me and called the police while I was in the Doctor&#039;s office.  After screaming red-faced at me for a minute in front of the officer (shaking my head I denied everything to make her look like a nut) she took a breath and I volunteered to wipe it off, and she said no she would do it.  I walked away, chagrined and chuckling.

If, as one celebrity atheist stated, you want to create an atheist, send a child to church every day for a few years, then the Fundies - or at least the mid-eastern Muslims -  should be producing thousands of atheists, but they are not.  When deprived of scientific explanations to natural phenomena the individual&#039;s emotional need to socialize/belong to superstitious organizations is paramount and dominates our need to think and/or vomit.</description>

Will she walk on water?
Was her birth the traditional virgin-birth?</description>

		<description>What I find more disturbing is the number of people who view her as anoited by god. I have heard people in my area claim that she will be the next president becuase god wants her to be president. These people are weird. Also I have heard people talk about how they like her because she is the same as they are. &quot;My daughter got pregnant when she was 17 just like her daughter. My husband has a dwi too, oh, I wish she could ban some of those books no one should be able to read them&quot;</description>

		<description>Two people at my school went to see her when she came to Colorado.  They returned with PINK McCain/Palin coffee mugs, which they illegally used at work (Colorado educators aren&#039;t allowed to campaign at work).  I gleefully threw one away when I found it stuffed in a drawer.  It would be great if we could throw her away as easily.</description>

		<description>Mark,

I don&#039;t doubt it one bit. We have a county administrator that &lt;a href=&quot;http://superstitionfree.blogspot.com/2009/04/words-of-wisdom-from-my-county.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;writes prayer chain&lt;/a&gt; letters all the time. What&#039;s worse is that his chain letters sound like an 8 year old wrote them.</description>

		<description>This blog used to be a good read but now it seems to be turning into more of a political smear website reposting old tired fake emails of unpopular political candidates. 

If any of you really think that a sitting Governor is sending out emails and signing them as though they came from God then you are a childish moron and I&#039;m wasting my time bothering with this website.

Grow up, people!

Yawn.......</description>
