Boy Palin sure is a credit to Christians everywhere. To all of you who haven't accepted the Lord Jesus as your personal savior, you should look to Palin as a role model, just like all the Christian conservatives do.

I admire this woman more than any in politics today. Imagine a normal woman with real family issues having power in the world in politics today. It's a falicy that politicians don't deal with real life issues such as teen pregnancies, etc....most of them hide it... and dodge and spin...I like the real life she lives...I like her toughness... her response to life's trials...She is the real deal... Sarah Palin rocks.

Before we get execited about Palin as a Christian role model, let's first examine what she believes in (beyond dinosaurs and humans on the planet at the same time). She belongs to an End of Days Church, which in turn is linked to churches that want to overthrow the secular government and institute a theocracy. Great. We got rid of Bush's gang and we've got Palin warming up in the wings. Read more at this site, not just at this page: http://www.talk2action.org/story/2008/11/2/115526/519

This weekend Palin was "palling around with" Franklin Graham, whacko son of Billy Graham, already notorious for his anti-Islamic and anti-Hindu ranting and because his "charity" keeps a high percent of donations for "administration".

Sarah Palin is a monstrously narcissistic woman who craves the national spotlight. Her tardy attention to the plight of natives in remote western Alaska was in part to link up with Graham -- and perhaps to avoid the glare of publicity at the Governors Conference where she'd be expected to have ideas and be able to articulate them, neither of which is currently apparent.

A strong following of Christian conservatives in a state whose population is approx. 700K is nothing to crow about ...or inflate the importance of to the rest of us in the lower 48. Hopefully Palin is a leftover joke, but she's sufficiently dangerous to bear watching.

Where is the article explaining how a mother of five makes it as governor of Alaska, runs for VP, maintains her popularity in spite of terrible national press and keeps on going? Put aside all the Christian v.s. non-Christian stuff and tell us how a smart woman succeeds in real life. Obama's a Christian so it can't be all bad, right? He's won, it's over, now can we have some honesty and exploration of who Ms. Palin really is, not the cartoon version? I'm seriously curious.

This ignorant woman had her fifteen minutes of fame along side of old man McCain...Sippewissett said it well in the comment above.

Mayor, Governor, VP candidate, sucessful marriage, mother of five, grandmother of one......

Still popular even after horrible lop-sided press coverage against her....

Even if you do not agree with her standpoints as I do, how come most of you think she is still a moron? Who are you? What kind of lives are you leading? If you are so smart, have you formed a PAC yet?

You can disagree with Pailn, as I think you should but you are making a grave error underestimating her? Don't believe me? We elected GW Bush.......TWICE!

I'm just wondering when her daughter and Levi (a good biblical Jewish name by the way) will get married...last summer it was said it would be after the campaign, probably in December...and we wait!

You are a complete buffoon and should back away from the computer and maybe go read a book. That was the dumbest post I have ever had the misfortune to read and I think my IQ dropped a point. Luckily it's very high and I have plenty to spare.

Gays and atheists hate Palin for obvious reasons. They are always disproportionately represented in the comments posed anytime the MSM returns to the attack. She's doing her job in Alaska, but for Politico this is "laying low."

I am not sure what is a bigger joke, Palin or some of the comments supporting her. This planet is doomed as long as we have Palin's & people that support what Palin/Bush type numb heads believe in. "End of days", "lord", "holy", "god" & other fantasies this world will end as a burned out hulk in space along with a bunch of other junk. These religious dreamers of nonsense will continue in the future what they have shown to have done in the past, fight & kill millions of people because of what they all call their god. These weak, sick people all think they have the answer, their god is great & if you don't agree with them, you will be killed, period the end.

Just to set the record straight, atheists killed more people in the 20th century alone than died as a result of all the religious conflicts in history combined.

Why is everyone so full of hate for Christian Conseratives, Jews, Free Masons, George Bush and Barack Obama.

This hate can only lead to preventing in finding a solution to our problems. Jacklegs I truly have pty on you.

It is very disturbing to realize just how many people, Alaskans and otherwise, have been drawn into cults where critical thinking is suppressed. The reason Sarah Palin has been so heavily criticized is not because she claims to be a Christian. It is because she has demonstrated, repeatedly, her cult mentality, lacking critical thinking processes, showing a disinterest in learning facts and making up extremist claims as she goes along. I am repeatedly stunned by these features in a great many of the core Republicans remaining in this party, unable to act upon independent, pragmatic judgements and arrogantly insisting that if we all just lay low and do nothing but make more payoffs to the wealthiest that somehow it will be all right. And if it isn't, there's always The Rapture. No thank you. God gave me a brain. Not to use our minds is foolish in the extreme.

Banjo1: That's a convenient statistic. Plucked straight from the historical records of your ass, no doubt.

urthsong: Well said. Thank you.

I think one big problem is, and not just in the states, probably everywhere, if anyone is any good, there is fear mongering. People I think voted against Palin, and Barack seems to be pretty good, he can do a series of things, pay bills, keep credit rating up, send money to rebuild infrstacture, and put some away to lower the deficit. And that is what runs the country. The other stuff, beyond laws which regulate public decency really are used to scare the good people away. Part of this mess we are in, is alot of people closed their eyes in "prayer" and let ponzi schemes, Enron's and who knows what else, rob America.

Allegedly over 50 billion in various schemes, minimum probably, taken out of the economy as SEC was doing nothing.

California in an artificial power energy crisis while Enron was trading away in its fraud, and only after millions and millions were lost, something was done.

And then the wars, which always seems to be an afterthought, I guess cause we are not getting bombed.

It is amazing things are working as good as they are, considering how badly managed things were for the last 8 years.

We need people are qualified to manage budgets etc to have that power to manage budgets.

And people who look good in bikinis, let them them prance around with a ribbon pinned to where have you, just stay out of my pocket.

Simple political deflection to de-emphasize the ineptitude and nonexistent leadership of the new administration. Palin 2012.

Banjo1: Glad to see you agree that Gays and Atheists are intelligent and good judges of character and ability.

lordastral, You are either (a) one scary dude or (b) someone VERY ill-informed about Palin's religious views.

Do you share with her the view that humans walked on the earth at the same time as dinosaurs, that creationism should be taught in science classrooms, that churches should unite to overthrow the U.S. government and substitute a theocracy?

This last bit and her End of Days affiliations are scary to me, but if you think that those beliefs are core to also making Christ one's savior, then you too are part of the SCARY fringe that she represents.
