This is a copy of an e-mail I sent out yesterday evening--my little list is all Obama supporters, but I know the thread on DU has a lot of good insights into what it would mean to even start to go to war against Russia. Tie that in with her delusional, extremist, rapturist whacko beliefs (which by the way really does not get that much support--think Alan Keyes) and you've got one insane bimbo. Anyone who can't catch that within a reasonable time is hopeless.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7031770 The commentary on Democratic Underground re Palin's remark (in an interview this evening w Charlies Gibson on ABC) that it'd be necessary to wage war on Russia if it invaded Georgia--scroll down past the list into the full comments, there are some good insights as well as repartee there. This woman is totally insane and clueless, and the ramifications of her remark really need to be shoved in anyone's face who is even remotely thinking of voting for that duo. It's good that ABC is apparently genuinely alarmed about this, bannering the remark, but this needs to be publicized.
There are quite a few comments about the apocalyptical aspect of the all-out nuclear war she and McCain both are basically promising. People shouldn't forget that she has been a member of a religious sect or cult, the Assemblies of God, since (I believe) a young age. She is the culmination of 20 years of infiltrating of government, starting at the school board level, by the extremist religious right. Among other things, the Aof G are "rapturists" who believe that the world will dissolve in a big conflagration when Israel is attacked/destroyed, as Jesus comes back and they are "raptured" to heaven, leaving us heathens and unsaved to fight the fiery flames of hell. These are very delusional, scary people--but of course, only Reverend Wright is worth getting worked up over. She did say in some interview a while back that she believed "the rapture" would happen during her lifetime. She is a "Dominionist" (Google that and be afraid).
She & McCain are also going to be campaigning only together (was mentioned in the news today). Neither one can make it without the other--McCain can't get any attention and will draw no one to his speeches; Palin can draw a crowd but is unfit to give speeches on her own. It's the co-dependent presidency.
But her own absence from the public eye and then, at a few campaign stops, repetition of her prewritten, venomous speech that has been broken down into a list of total lies seems to be making the veneer wear off. Each day is actually a new delightful scandal involving "Mooselini."
