Vote McCain/Palin if you want change

Hi everyone.


I am very worried about the future of this country. Do we want a religious zealot to become a vice president of this great country of ours? I sure hope they don't win but in case republicans win the election we all should keep our fingers crossed McCain is well.  


Yes, it seems just about every American wants change. And with republicans in the White House change will happen alright. We will be fighting wars, wars and more wars. Against Iran, against Russia, North Korea and who knows who else, in addition to the already ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.  We will be fighting wars and keep sending young, capable AMERICAN people to death; not to mention the billions or trillions $ being thrown away , because this is "GOD'S WILL". Yes, thanks governor. Thank you for the encouraging words. Thank you for giving my family a prospect for a bright and prosperous future. Dear Mrs. please check your calendar and see what century we live in. It seems like you are stuck somewhere in the distant past.  I have always admired the courageous people, willing to risk their lives, by enlisting and going overseas to fight. BUT it disturbs me a lot when you say this is God's will or God's plan.  I can'help but think of mothers sending their sons to terrorist camps in the name of the "Holly War"..!!!


Don't get me wrong. There is nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with being religious. But come on people lets get real. Lets synchronize our clocks with the rest of the  progressive world's.


I guess I have no choice but PRAY you guys stay out of the White House, because if otherwise my family of three is packing and emigrating to some peaceful and prosperous country, where it could send my son to a nice college and he'll have a better chance to make a good life for himself, instead of sending him off to war, because that would be his only option.

As for the Palin quote, it's best read in its context.


"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."



Try reading it like this "...(let's pray) also, for this country that our leaders are sending (us) out on a task that is from God."




What believer in God wouldn't pray that their actions are lined up with His will?

I think I made it clear why I believe she is a religious zealot.

So, it was "God's Will" that we invade Iraq? Why didn't God speak to Bush when he got his PDB in Aug 6th 2001, and tell him that he better heed that warning to protect Americans from an impending attack,then? Bush claims that God spoke to him a lot. Palin feels that Iraq was a "task from God" this really is scary!

Actually you didn't make yourself clear on this. Do you think she's a religious zealot because she prays for God's will?

I really don't think you understand Palin's quote. She was praying that going into Iraq would be God's will. What would be the alternative?

I hope that deep down you realize how absurd you sound.


Let's all
