Reply #14: At risk of sounding like Sarah Palin, God help us. [View All]

The clips I saw of her "coming out" interview showed a very ordinary person, in no way prepared for the extraordinary office she seeks. Even the responses she had obviously prepared in advance were beyond lame. She tried to disarm the frighteningly stupid remark she made about the Iraq war being a mission from God by quoting Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln’s quote about hoping that we are on the side of God was a humble admission that we may not always be right. Hers was dogmatic certitude about a war that was a criminal act done in our name.

Tonight I realized that in putting her on his ticket, John McCain has insulted us all.
