You Cons just don’t get it, do you?

She has no intergrity what so ever, didn't she take an oath to serve the people of Alaska? What about them? Didn't they elect her? She will probably become another Ann Coulter; they both plagiarize, have big mouths and nothing to say. Can we be done with her now?

Nothing else matters, not even man made law in the church. that is where you fallen away Catholics try and base your argument. You are not FREE to choose evil, because there is a consequence for evil. Most people unfortunately, lib and con choose to live this life as the destination.......it's not only the journey. No comment on the about face of the Post huh? Pat, you will just never understand I guess….the only thing that matters is the Word and the doctine.

I can't speak for Obama's priorities. He hasn't told me what they are. Palin has. Among the three though, faith, family, and the State, my point, which the interpreter here missed, is the 'state' part where their differences are. Well, that, and Obama puts the state first, ahead of the other two. It's what statists do. Otherwise, spending our grandchilren's future in a blitz to socialism would seem immoral, like it does to Sarah Palin and I, but not Barry. Thank you interpreter Pat.

Obviously, she doesn't want to be President of the United States...ever. If she can't commit herself to even one term of Governer of a state, she, obviously, won't be able to handle a term of President. Luckily, we found out about her lack of dedication before she was elected to a post more strenuous than that of Governor. This country doesn't need someone who folds under pressure.
