This is the LTTE I sent to the local paper yesterday. Will it get published? I'm guessing no, but I tried!! As you can tell, the ultimate hypocrisy of "Christians" like Sarah Palin gets on my last nerve.
Last evening devout Christian Sarah Palin spoke to the nation to accept the Republican nomination for Vice President.
This devout Christian stood at the microphone and lied. She lied about Barack Obama’s record in the Senate. According to her, he has passed no legislation. Senator Obama’s Senate record includes the 2007 Ethics Reform law, the Comprehensive Nuclear Threat Reduction Strategy, and legislation to expand availability of health care to children. For our troops, he worked to help homeless veterans, block attempts to reduce support to veterans with post-traumatic stress, and help the families of deployed troops.
She lied about her own record. She hasn’t stood against earmarks and lobbyists. As mayor she hired lobbyists to bring federal earmarks to her town. She was all for “the bridge to nowhere” before she was against it.
The lies came among a long list of nasty personal attacks. And yet, I’m told again and again that Sarah Palin is a devout Christian. Don’t devout Christians honor the Ten Commandments? Isn’t there a commandment about “bearing false witness against your neighbor”?
