		<description><![CDATA[American Bedu,

o   She does not believe in abortion even in the case of rape and incest (only time she accepts it is if the mother life is in danger).  Again, this teaching would go down well in Saudi Arabia.


In Islam, abortion is allowed in most cases for the first 4 months. And allowed Always in cases of rape and incest. 


o   Her previous church of which she was a member of all her life until 2 years ago, believes that God speaks through people in tongues.   I’m sure that would endear her to the Muttawa.


God speaks through people in toungues?
Not true in Islam.]]></description>

perhaps people who support Palin do not read your blog, 
perhaps they know that they would not change your views, 
perhaps they do not like to waste their time 
and prehaps they think that comparing Palin to Michelle is unnecessary.  Palin may become a vice president but Michelle will be a wife of president.
 
Uh, BTW  according to 2006 income tax return, Michelle&#039;s salary was $273,618 from the University of Chicago Hospitals.
When did you say Michelle gave a prestigious position for........no money? Ups, sorry, you said  for &quot;less prestigious position&quot; - as for money I assume you would say that it is just near  poverty level.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I received this from a friend in an email.  The original source is not known but worth sharing here:

Subject: oh vey and double oh vey

I&#039;m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....

· If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you&#039;re  &quot;exotic, different.&quot;
  · Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American  story.
  000000000000000000000000000000  
· If your name is Barack you&#039;re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
  · Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you&#039;re a maverick.
000000000000000000000000000
   · Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
  · Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you&#039;re well grounded.
000000000000000000000000000  

· If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate&#039;s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people  while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran&#039;s Affairs committees, you  don&#039;t have any real leadership experience. 

· If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you&#039;re qualified to become the country&#039;s second highest ranking executive.
000000000000000000000000
  · If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you&#039;re not a real Christian.

· If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you&#039;re a Christian.
-000000000000000000000   
· If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
  
· If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state&#039;s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant , you&#039;re very responsible.
000000000000000000000000000  
· If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family&#039;s values  don&#039;t represent America&#039;s.

· If you&#039;re husband is nicknamed &quot;First Dude&quot;, with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn&#039;t register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
  

  OK, much clearer now.]]></description>

I do not recall seeing anyone comment they are scared of Palin.  The issue stems from concern that she is not the right candidate for Executive Leadership of the United States of America.]]></description>

1) She may favour creationist teaching but she  never  say that she will pressure schools to teach creationism instead of darwinian theory.
2) You may think she parroted her answers to Charles Gibson but someone may think that she just prefer to speak proper english with a good diction
3) She did not say that iraq is mission from god.  Actually she said  ‘that our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God, that’s what we have to make sure we are praying for, that there is a plan, and that plan is God’s plan.’” (Ever hear the phrase “Not my will, but Thine, be done”?) . 
4) Actually she, herself may not believe in abortion.  However when asked if she will prohibit abortion she answered that decision will be up to people and not herself
5) Her husband may have supported independence for alaska but she is not her husband.  If the view of wives are the same as the husbands (and the other way round) Obama&#039;s view on america and americans will be very derogatory.  A question for you - Are Michelle Obama views on USA the same as her husband,? Hmm.........
6) Her previous church was worse than the present church of Obama&#039;s? And what  the church she was going to has anything to do with how good a vice-president she may be? Her religious views  are her own and haven&#039;t much to do with her politics.....................hmm, well,  I forgot that you are living in the ME where religion is everywhere and permeates everything.
7) Oh, well, nobody can contradict hereself or himself.  I am sure you did not change your views in years, I am also sure that you never contradicted yourself.  Woe, woe to one who contradicts himself.
8) No, she did not lie.   
****
I wonder why many people from the ME and so many liberals in US are so scared about Palin? Isn&#039;t it  because she is a career woman, a conservative, like shooting moose and has strong views on things?]]></description>
