Pull the plug on Grandma

I have never heard of anything so stupid in my life, as Sarah telling the world that the Presidents Health Plan would have someone putting Grandma to her death, due to her old age....

The mentality of anyone with this thinking, and then telling the public that this is what will happen is beyone comprehension....And this woman wants to lead us????

McCain's Homeland

Your ranting is ridiculous. McCain belongs to all of America and has proved his patriotism time and again. You should spend time researching B HUSSEIN OBAMA's background and I am sure you will find a plethora of mystery, if you search with all your heart and take your blinders off once and for all.

Election sham

The whole election is a sham. Regardless of who wins the election we're all screwed. The U.S. has been hijacked by too many special interest groups and you are all voting for a puppet government. Wake up already. It never ceases to amaze me how many Americans are just duped fools. Do you honestly believe any presidential election could ever hope to correct the mess our country is in? And if you don't believe the Jewish lobby for Zionism in Washington is the most powerful force with their own agenda then you are all dumber than even I thought you were.Have fun electing the next meatpuppet regardless of who you get.

Does she float?

Maybe to be sure that Sarah Palin is not a witch herself, they should see if she floats or sinks. If she floats, she is a witch. If she drowns, she is not. Good ol' classic witch hunt techniques.

Wow.

Both to the video and that comment.

You know, it's amazing that such thinking still goes on in this day and age. Scary, indeed. I'm not even going to try to rebut that racist craziness. There's no point. Just, wow.

It is dead serious to me

People laugh, but my family is wiccan. No one seems to care about the one million or so wiccans out there, many with families, children.

Everyone writes the articles talking about him blessing her, but no one is mentioning that he turned a villiage on an old woman and used her as a scapegoat for problems in the area, eventually killing her pet and running her out of town, which, in that area of Africa, for an old woman, is a very seriously problem. She's probably dead from it.

He advocates violence against witches as a form of spiritual battle. Where does that leave the very real growing number of wiccans and neopagans in America should we get a leader like this?

Witchy Woman

Laugh all you want, but at least Sarah is at the forefront in the fight against witchcraft. What have the other candidates done to insure that Americans will not be plagued by Wizards, Warlocks and Sorcerers? Huh?

Seriously...

Jordan C. Fan--GO AWAY! You're not making any sense whatsoever.

"EVE"

Well, It all started with Adam and Eve, and Eve convinced Adam to eat the red apple and lose the "Garden of Eden", so its only fitting that it ends with John and Sarah, and Sarah convinces John to push the red button....and there it ends

Response to Analysis of Sarah Palin

First of all,Jordan C, where do you get your ideology from? Are you living in a cave?

Regarding battleground states. By definition, a battleground state is a state that is undecided as far as a republican or democratic majority. The states you named: Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California are all LIBERAL states meaning they are Democratic. Check your facts. The battleground states are states like Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Minnesota...

Oil drilling the number one issue in this election? Excuse me, do you NOT read the headlines? There is something being negotiated in Washington called a Bailout of the economy. $700 Billion Dollars. President Bush making an address to the nation this week on national TV. Does any of this ring a bell? This economic crisis has been the BIGGEST issue that the candidates are addressing in this election. Tune into the presidential debate.

Palin's daughter, a teenage unwed mother, drawing sympathy from teenage unwed mothers. Good observation. You don't see any similarities between her daughter and the (as I quote you) "predominately single unwed mother type Black families"? Hmmm.....

Has anyone heard of this "white displacement program" you mention? The one where whites are displaced from the lower 48 states to Alaska where they can get "peace and quiet" from blacks? Pause. Didn't think so.

Get your facts straight. The Civil War was in the 1800's. The Vietnam war was in the 1960's and 70's - nearly 100 years apart. One has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other. The Civil War was internal (North vs. South or us v. us) and the Vietnam war was the U.S. attempt (initially) to STABILIZE - not destabilize Vietnam after French occupation. The U.S. was not fighting the blacks.

If you insist the U.S. is trying to destabilize other nations of the world to unite us here at home, you make the U.S. sound like Al Quaeda terrorists! Palin and McCain have said in countless interviews we are fighting AGAINST terrorism overseas. Jordan C., you don't even understand your own candidates!

Please graduate from middle school, Jordan, before you post your reponses!
