Sarah Palin should think twice before she makes stupid statements and opens her mouth. If she was a little more educated about her party's politics she would remember how President Bush and former President Bush were so friendly with the BinLaden's. They were real pals from what photos show! If I remember correctly, they even helped Osama's brother get out of the the USA after 9/11.

Thomas Jefforson was actually very much for separation of religion and state. Ironically, religious freedom is one of the reasons for this. He thought a person in power would put too much pressure on the country by pushing their personal religion. Our history shows this to be the case. Also, those in power can potentially and sometimes even unknowingly abuse their positions. For example, despite being a country governed by rule of law, some of our laws have been guided by religious morality rather than scientific fact and principle.

Your comment is bigotted. Jefferson as one of the authors included religious freedom in Constitution and Rights. Maybe he would leap for joy. He even loved a black woman, sound more astute and open minded than your comment.

whoa there Is that a PC comment? Why can't a person be of a religious persuasion. Was religious freedom one of the add ons to the "Bail out bill" or is your comment non-american and bigotted?

she must be something pretty powerful to threaten so many people into trying to assasinate her character. get the facts, gov, mayor, charisma, balanced person, successful marriage to a formidable man (even bill clinton agrees) and feminine and attractive to boot. Stop the jealousy and open your mind. Just bk the female newscasters and homely actress/comediennes are envious and catty doesn't mean the public can't make up their own mind. Vote based on the facts.

At this point in time Sarah Palin makes Dan Quayle look like a Rhode scholar. How ignorant of all world affairs can 1 woman be? I know elementary school children who can at least name a newspaper their parents read...maybe a good ole fashion civics course would help. I bet all those really qualified Republican women who should have been his pick, would like to slap McCain for this choice! He could've made it a race! 1/20/09 End of an Error!! And Emma--how do you spell "ignorance?" No wonder you identify with Palin. The dumber and whiter the better. Would those constructive Alaskan reforms be trying to sue the current Bush administration to get polar bears off the endangered species list so they can be hunted with low flying planes! Geez, now there's a sport!

She may not be a foreign policy whiz but she is a leader who has made constructive reforms in Alasaka and she is not dumb. Whoever insults her by calling her dumb is just showing their own irgnorance.
