Here's the other side: Sarah Palin made some policy statements in her run for governor, so we can see what to expect. She's pro-ignorance and anti-civil rights all the way, opposing gay marriage, sex education, and reproductive rights for women. No surprise at all, I know. Here are some answers…
Time magazine digs into Mayor Palin's early days:
At some point in those the fractious first days, Palin told the department heads they needed her permission to talk to reporters. "She put a gag order on those people, something that you'd expect to find in the big city, not here," says [local paper…
Here's the latest bit of wisdom from Sarah Palin:
McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, speaking in Colorado Springs, Colo., said Fannie and Freddie had “gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers.” The companies, however, aren't taxpayer funded but operate as private companies.…
That's a quote from Lou Engle in this video — and it's actually kind of true. He thinks it will be a wonderful thing when people see this, and there probably are a lot of Americans who think the events portrayed are perfectly ordinary, and even commendable.
I see nothing but madness.
By picking…
Of course Jesus wrote the pledge the same day he founded this Christian country.
Rob, when you react too quickly and rush to post it is human to make mistakes. Jesus didn't found this Christian nation, and we all know it.
Chuck Norris did. He made quick work of the Redcoats.
Yes, Palin said something like "under God was good enough for the founding fathers". Maybe she thinks the Knights of Columbus were the founding fathers. She seems to be hot for religious types.
This was one of the first things that I learned about Palin after she was announced as McCain's running mate, and it made me take an instant dislike to her. Not only did it illustrate her willingness to pander to the religious right (which, I suppose, does not bother conservatives), but it demonstrated that she has an 8th-grader's grasp of American history and civics (which should bother everybody). Apparently, Eagle Forum, the conservative group that created the questionnaire, realized this, because they pulled Palin's answers off of their website within a few days of her nomination.
Chuck was one of the 12 apostles Mike.
I think Bob Dole was also one.
//but it demonstrated that she has an 8th-grader's grasp of American history//
If thats your average 8th graders grasp of your history,then good nite America.
The Greenland Norse still were around longer than the current inhabitants of North America,you guys better start trying harder pretty quickly.....
As stupid as we all know this is, as my junior year English teacher put it:
"The majority of people are right, even when they're wrong."
The fact that Palin mistakenly believes that the Pledge was written by the Founding Fathers may prove to those who are less ignorant about our country that she's an idiot, but the vast majority of people believe this fact. They're all idiots, of course, but *we'll* be the ones written off as the morons.

Well, yea, but ... Well, ok fine.
