why would Dr. Dobson test God?
praying for rain on Americans....
why?
why would the RNC offend God by calling a man a God or Messiah?
this is blasphemy....
"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'
they broke the first three at once...
why?
i am not deceived...i read my bible...
and a copy of "The Heavenly Torah" Abraham, Joshua, Heschel
it is offensive to the LORD God to speak as you guys do...
it has nothing to do with politics...it is about HIM known as I AM...you are wrong for your language

Bush-Cheney = McCain-Palin
if the Republicans had this power to use the hypocrisies against the Democrats they would use this stick to beat us to death with it...
i really do believe taking the high road is the best route...
we must not attack the Palin family, but we must make sure the hypocrisies shows...
they make an issue of elitism hypocritically...
they claim the family values mantle hypocritically...
they demean the values and worth of Americans that they feel are not worthy of their attention...
it is time to expose them and shame them ...all
but not at the expense of a family...
Sarah Palin is fair game...her family is not

“I am pleased to see Senator Obama acknowledge the huge potential Alaska’s natural gas reserves represent in terms of clean energy and sound jobs,” Palin says in the release. “The steps taken by the Alaska State Legislature this past week demonstrate that we are ready, willing and able to supply the energy our nation needs.” http://www.gov.state.ak.us/archive-59841.html

The Attorney General's investigation quickly turned up evidence that Palin's initial denials were false. Multiple members of her staff had raised Wooten's employment with Monegan. Indeed, the state police had a recording of one of her deputies pushing Monegan to fire Wooten. That evidence forced Palin to change her story. Palin said that this was the first she'd heard of it and insisted the deputy wasn't acting at her behest, even though the transcript of the recorded call clearly suggested that he was. (Hear the audio here.) http://www.gov.state.ak.us/audio/FrankBaileyCDaudio.mp3 Just yesterday, Monegan gave an interview to the Washington Post in which he said that not only Palin's aides, but Palin's husband and Palin herself had repeatedly raised the Wooten issue with him and pressured him to fire him. And now he says he has emails that Palin sent him about the matter. (In an interesting sidelight, that may end up telling us a lot, Monegan says no one from the McCain campaign ever contacted him in the vetting process.)

Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg: “a mixed set of emotions, kind of an odd sense of Alaska nationalism or pride. This is like watching a moon landing or something. It’s just something you don’t expect to see very often.It’s wonderful. It was an emotional thing to see the governor walk out with her family and I say, wow, I work for her.”

Randy Ruedrich, Alaska Republican Party Chair: Not giving interviews.
SMART MAN
Alaska Democratic Party Chair Patti Higgins: “In this very competitive election for them to go pick somebody who is … under a cloud of suspicion, who is under investigation for abuse of power. It just sounds like a pretty slow start to me. We need a vice president who can step in if, God forbid, something happened to John McCain. I don’t think she’s someone who is ready for that 3 a.m. phone call.”
TRUTH (what the Republican Chair was wise to refrain from adding to the debate) You owe her lunch ….Randy ;-)

and my favorite…
Alaska State Representative Mike Doogan (D): “Either Sarah Palin has talents and skills we were not aware of”, or “John McCain fell down and hit his head”.
He also called the prospect of Palin potentially needing to take over as President”pretty scary.”
Palin recently belonged to a party that wanted to separate her home state, Alaska, from the USA??!!!! She recorded a message for that party as recently as earlier this year?????!!!!
I'm sorry, but forget unwanted pregnancies, isn't this proof positive that Palin was chosen just for the 'breast vote'. A naked, calculated VP pick that takes no account of country security/stability. All Palin is, is the answer to the question, 'What stunt can I pull to win an election in 8 weeks?'.
I am so angry because if this was either of the Obama's can you imagine the meltdown on the Fox News Channel?????!!!!! Obama patriotism is questioned and belittled for not wearing a flag pin but Palin receives a pass for trying to separate her state from America? Doesn't somebody need to ask this Republican Vice Presidential nominee, 'what's so bad about America you didn't want to be part of it?!'
