Sarah Palin is scaring the bejeesus out of Floridians

[Red Dawn]

I really didn't think mccain would nominate an extremist rightwing, unexperienced christian...

Fascinating article Ben Smith just posted about how undecided Floridians are now moving towards Obama because of Sarah Palin.

Seems they aren't very thrilled with "ideologues" like Palin. I'm going to guess that part of the reason is a visceral distrust of where the arch-Christian Palin comes down on the question of Jews and issues they care about. Actually, it would be a fascinating question to ask Palin, if she thinks Jews need to be "saved," and whether they're going to hell. In the menatime, let's not forget that the anti-Semitic Pat Buchanan claims that Palin was a big supporter of his presidential campaign. Palin denies it, but then again, she and McCain have been lying every single day since McCain picked her, so we're to believe Palin doesn't have a personal problem with Jews because she, a serial liar, tells us so? Pat Buchanan thinks she's swell, and says she was a big supporter.

You know......you should shorten that up and just get to the point.....like this

"I hate Christians......and I spread bullshit rumors."

See how easy that was.

I was in reference to Dawns extremist views....not Palin's.

The focus group had dems, republicans, and unaffiliated:

Of the 11 undecided voters participating in the discussion one recent evening at the Times — four Republicans, five Democrats, and two registered to no party — only two Republican men applauded the selection of Palin.

Nobody had finalized a choice, but seven of the panelists said that McCain's running mate selection had made them more likely to vote for Obama, and in several cases much more likely.

What's extremist about Sarah Palin? She's pro-life? The majority of women in this country are pro-life! If you're talking about the rumors of what she's not--you're obviously not watching any interviews of her.

No she didn't burn books, yes she believes in contraception--she wants evolution taught in schools.

So tell me, what in the world is extremist about her?

BTW--you can get a detailed interview she just did on FOX news--that details some of these nonsense rumors spread around about her--"that are not true".

Feminists hate Palin because she is not pro abortion rights. She wants some reasonable limits on Abortion.

I disagree. Stating that she would have her own daughter carry her baby to term if she were raped and became pregnant is far from unreasonable, even for the staunchest conservative.

"The candidates were pressed on their stances on abortion and were even asked what they would do if their own daughters were raped and became pregnant.

Palin said she would support abortion only if the mother's life was in danger. When it came to her daughter, she said, "I would choose life.""

Reasonable limits?

She only wants Abortion if it threatens the mother's life.

But it's reasonable to not allow a pregnant woman to get a abortion if she gets pregnant by rape and or incest?

Fuckin

When I say reasonable limits I mean like not letting the same slut get 3 abortions in 4 years, or not allowing late term abortions.

the Extreme pro choice crowd will not stand for someone who dares talk about limitations on Abortion.

They want to be able to stab a needle into an infants skull as it crowns and suck it's brains out, and they will destroy anyone who stands in their way.

You mean Floridians might actually be falling for the liberal crap that Palin is some kind of rightwing extremist Christian whacko who wants to convert all Jews? OMG! LOL I guess that sure explains why they are so "scared" that the most recent poll has him 7 points ahead of Obama.

Sorry, but Palin has an Israeli flag in her office -maybe because many Christian churches actually believe in Israel's right to exist, are some of the strongest pro-Israel Americans there are and that Jews are the brothers of Christians without whom Christianity wouldn't even exist. She isn't the least bit interested in converting Jews and in fact said she does not wear her religious faith on her sleeve and does not shove her personal faith in anyone's face. The fact you know she IS religious, doesn't mean she must be a whacko about it then.

You might be interested to know that her father was a public high school science teacher. She not only was taught evolution herself, she thinks it is entirely appropriate to teach in public schools and has never once even suggested that Creationism should be. Not when a member of the PTA, not when a city councilwoman, not when mayor, not when governor and not as VP candidate. The only thing she has ever said even remotely touching on it was that if the subject were to be debated in school, students and teachers must show respect for any individual religious beliefs a student may have. Hardly a mindboggling statement of radical conservatism extremism there.

She did not support Buchanan -http://explorations.chasrmartin.com/2008/09/06/palin-rumors/ Its number 17. She was on the board of Steve Forbes' campaign in Alaska and supported Forbes, not Buchanan.

But why let reality get in the way. Liberal motto is "if the truth doesn't serve our agenda, then go with the lie".

Yes she has.

"The volatile issue of teaching creation science in public schools popped up in the Alaska governor's race this week when Republican Sarah Palin said she thinks creationism should be taught alongside evolution in the state's public classrooms.

Palin was answering a question from the moderator near the conclusion of Wednesday night's televised debate on KAKM Channel 7 when she said, "Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of information. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both."

Personally, I agree with her statement though.

I stand corrected. While I agree with her statement about no need to be afraid of more information -I disagree that creationism should be taught as part of a science class. It isn't presented as a teachable scientific theory. But since so many people interchange creationism with intelligent design, I seriously doubt she means to teach the Bible as if its a science book when it was never intended to be used as one.

However, I do think that the theory of intelligent design IS supportable to be taught in a science class and it is NOT creationism, does not rule out the role evolution may play either. The theory of evolution is unlike all other scientific theories. Scientific theories are intended to explain a very specific phenomenon and nothing else. The theory of evolution tries to explain EVERY phenomenon and it doesn't -and it can't. The theory of intelligent design does not attempt to explain every phenomenon either, but just very specific ones only, while admitting it is not the answer to many other phenomena.

I believe in teaching kids all the different theories that scientists themselves are still struggling with right now, including evolution but also letting them know where scientists themselves think its falls short -which is why other theories are being actively researched. Instead public schools are teaching kids to believe this is a settled, proven "fact", no more questions remain, anyone who doesn't agree that its all evolution and Darwin got it perfectly correct right out of the gate is an idiot or religious whacko idiot. In fact no scientist has ever gotten it totally correct right out of the gate and this theory is badly flawed, there are numerous undeniable scientific facts that totally contradict some of the major parts of the theory - and scientists know it. Which is why they are working on OTHER theories right now. If Darwin were alive today, he'd be the first to admit he got a lot of it wrong after all.

Liberals act like this is an "either-or" thing. As if no other possibilities exist except evolution and the Biblical story -nothing else. The fact that evolution is badly flawed only means we didn't get it totally correct after all and it needs more research. It sure doesn't mean it must be creationism as described in the Bible when the Bible is not a science book intended to explain how our natural world works. Why are liberals so afraid to let public school kids know what all these other theories are that scientists are working on?

But I do not think they should be taught in a science class what religious doctrine ministers and congregations are struggling with.

Exactly.

Extremist. For christ sakes, she was a Pentacostal. That's as extreme "christian" as it gets.

She's starting to scare some Floridians, and other moderates.

No one is buying the "Please believe us, she's really a reasonable moderate!" spin from the Bush voters on this thread.

Just like McCain gets Bush's endorsement. If you don't like Bush, why vote for the person he endorses?

America would not elect another religious not, so what did the gop do? They nominated a 70 yr old with Melanoma and snuck in a woman who's even more extreme than Bush.

And I bet Floridians don't like her and Todd Palin obstructing justice in Troopergate. The investigation was unanamously approved 14 to 0 by Alaskan legislature, and it was bi partisan, so now how do they have the balls to say its about politics? In other words, it won't help her chances to win in november.

Hopefully people vote against her for not cooperating. She's acting a lot like Chaney. Refusing to testify, contempt of court, deleting emails. America can't afford 4 yrs of this. Palin should already be impeached. lol

Yes, Americans have given her a look and decided she is someone they don't want in the White House.

Floridians don't even know how to vote. They scare easily.
