Palin: Pledge of Allegiance "good enough for the founding fathers"
Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 02:22 PM by SOS
11. Are you offended by the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?

PALIN: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, it's good enough for me and I'll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892.

"under God" was added in 1954.

This is pathetic.

You haven't done anything wrong.

2. More smoke and False Information from Palin
There's a definite pattern here. She is not in touch with reality, or inclined to truth.

4. Sadly, such a reply can resonate with too many voters
who do not bother to get the facts, who vote based on their "gut feeling" and their impressions and one line zingers.

This is how Bush won in 2000 - "a buddy to have a drink with" - and this is how she can win, unless we take these things into consideration for our campaign.

6. OMG, she really said that?
What a buffoon!

And what's with all the nasty comments from people today? So what if something gets posted over and over. Don't read it!

8. We have a couple of posters who have taken it upon themselves
to dictate what other DUers may post about. Palin is off limits because she's supposedly irrelevant.

A heartbeat away from the presidency, she's a dangerous loon, and we are supposed to ignore her.
