Palin

[Miss Critter]

Like I said, haven't talked to her Mom who was a Hillary supporter and is now for Palin. She may be impressed with Palin's experience as governor and her ability to bring about real change and stand up and defeat the powerful political status quo.

Haven't spoken to the lady in question either, but that'd be my shot in the dark guess too.

Wasilla Assembly of God has removed the video that this article had linked to from their site and replaced it with a statement, but the article quotes Palin's speech. THIS part of her personal life, not her pregnant teenage daughter, is what concerns and disturbs me.

The Palin church video

She urged students to pray ?that our leaders -- that our national leaders -- are sending [soldiers] out on a task that is from God.?

She added, ?That's what we have to make sure that we are praying for: that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan.?

?I can do my part in working really, really hard to get a natural gas pipeline, about a $30 billion project that's going to create a lot of jobs for Alaska. ? [but] I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that,? she said. ?I can do my job there in developing our natural resources, in doing things like getting the roads paved and making sure our troopers have their cop cars and their uniforms and their guns, and making sure our public schools are funded. But really that stuff doesn't do any good if the people of Alaska's hearts aren't right with God.?

If she and McCain win, I can guarantee you I'll be doing a lot of praying.

Steeling - I watched this video in nearly it's entirety. She had not prepared a speech because she thought she wouldn't make it in time to give the address (sermon?). It was rambling with poor delivery but as I said she had not prepared. I just want to know who gets to determine what God wants.

Hello...me, too! :shock: The onward Christian soldiers of my youth are beginning to freak me out.

Most that I am reading are concerned that Palin is getting the kneejerk hoo-ha vote

I agree on that knee jerk opinion, but please explain hoo-ha.

Who's hoo-ha? Where's skunky when you need him???

BTW, this is about the coolest thing I've ever seen. Thanks for making my day!

What time does Palin speak tonight? Is Rudy before her?

 

[GoodWitch58]

Excellent article GW....sorry, does that offend you?

Of course not George Washington was a great president!;-)

The lineup on Fox tonight is Romney, Huckabee and then Giuliani before Palin. Governor Palin should speak around 9:30 p.m. central time on most channels.

That sets up to be an interesting night. Has Romney had any hard feelings about the Palin selection? I could see how he could for sure.

It's too early to say how this will effect the female vote numbers. I have read a few hillary clinton forums though and the response to Palin seem positive. We'll have to wait and see where the polls are in a couple weeks and then we'll know.

My mom was a big fan of Hillary, but Biden was her choice for Pres., early in the race. She never liked Obama. I'll get her newest thoughts soon. I'm curious to know.

Is her mom just wanting to vote for a female?

Not the way to go, as the only thing Palin and Hilary have in common is their gender!

Not true. Hillary wants to place a penalty tax on the oil companies for making too much money. Palin heavily taxed the oil companies in Alaska, though for a source of revenue for the government in Alaska, not for penalties for making too much money.

I heard a political-junkie on the radio today, saying that one thing which someone like Palin could do is lead people into thinking that she WAS indeed, inexperienced and just a hot lady, with many kids, many guys dream-date, etc. He noted that so many of us make up our minds based solely on 8-second sound bites. If Sarah Palin then comes out and delivers an educated speech, she will win many people over, thinking that she sounds intelligent and capable compared to their expectations.

I believe his thoughts make sense, after thinking about it. It will be interesting to hear her speach, and more importantly, people's reactions to her speech.
