Worried about your future?

"Ever."

Even Hillary Clinton, a woman who Sarah Palin makes look like Mamie
Eisenhower by comparison, did it. Sarah Palin doesn't. And I think I
know why."

"It's because Sarah Palin doesn't believe there is a future."

"Philip Munger at Progressive Alaska recounts a conversation he had with Palin in 1977: I asked how she felt about the second coming and the end times. She
responded that she fully believed that the signs of Jesus returning
soon "during MY lifetime," were obvious. 'I can see that, maybe you
can't - but it guides me every day.'"

"Once again, we
found ourselves being able to talk privately. I reminded her of the
earlier conversation, asking her if her views had changed. She was no
longer "necessarily" a young earth creationist, she told me. But she
strongly reiterated her belief that 'The Lord is coming soon.' I was
trying to get her to tell me what she felt the signs were, when she had
to move on."

She's not the first politician to let a belief in the "end times" shape her policies.

"If your kid hang around with the kid next door four years ago, why in Hell's name would you think he wouldn't be hanging around with him now for no particular reason at all???"

Because my kid is 7 right now, and I expect that when he is 11 he will have 4 more years of life experience, decision making and smarts under his belt. He will also have 4 years of watching that person grow and will know better who they are and what they are offering the world around them. A decision he will make 4 years from now will be based on all that knowledge. I know that there are people I have had acquaintance with in my past, through work or school or neighborhood proximity who are not now in my circle of f...

Palin is playing fast and loose with this and many other facts and her mudslinging and attempts to spread fear and hate will not earn her any respect from me.

The Republicans and their SuperRich friends and Wall Street lobbyist are the ones, without doubt, who lobbied for and removed the safeguards to let these bank scam artist steal taxpayers money, destroy the life savings of many "common," folks and drive our whole economy into the dirt.

(It's also the Republicans that used deliberately fabricated lies to lead us into the War in Iraq...you know, no WMD's...no connection to 9/11 or anthrax, etc.)

So now these warmongers and lies who have shredded our Constitution, are war criminals, thieves and holding rallies where people are shouting out":

The people at this Palin rally yesterday also hassled a Black TV reporter who was at the rally.

Republican rallies are now introducing race baiting and mud slander into our politics in the worst way ever. They are practically like KKK conventions.

Note: This rally yesterday..where the death threats, fascist cries of traitor, and an Afro-American reporter was hassled was reported about today in the New York times, at: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/08/opinion/08wed1.html?_r=1&em&oref=slogin

If the black hole of false war doesn't convine you; if bin Laden still running around free (7 years later) doesn't convince you; if the World Wide economic crash doesn't convince you; if the several verified reports of KKK-style hatred being inflamed doesn't convince you'; well, go down to New Orleans and see what your country looks like (still, 3 years later).

The people who post any different are wrong.

Sarah Six Pack from Stewart’s Folly should go home before her narrow-minded religious views, her blinded wrong-headed false patriotism, and her incitement to violence and racial hatred may start to sink in and do real damage to our nation.

Obama is the victory not only over warmongering and lying thieves Republicans w
