This article is overflowing with false premises, underlying biases, hypocritical and incomplete arguments, and a political/secular agenda...

All this article does is show the author's inability to understand those he doesn't see eye-to-eye with politically or religiously. In fact, the author is demonstrating the very thing he mentions in his article... he's attempting to use research or facts to try and "prove" what he already thinks about republicans and "religious" people. What a shameless piece of propaganda...

And by the way, Lindsay Lohan... Obama doesn't believe in gay marriage either... Oops! you probably didn't bother learning that before you spewed your hatred for Sarah Palin... you're opinions are simply emotionally and selfishly-driven, and void of consistency (or facts for that matter)... yikes

I can't tell...

Salon has become an embarrassing playground to demonize Sarah Palin and anything she does or stands for. Where is this comprehensive breakdown of a person's character for the democrats, whenever they do something "controversial" or "different"? Seems, all we have are author's such as David Talbot, who apparently has nothing better to do than to try and shed as negative a light on Palin or McCain as possible while completely ignoring their political opponents... hypocritical? of course!

Knox Bronson, I keep hearing anti-Republican/Conservatives saying things like "God help us if..." Exactly what God are you referring to, and "if...[such and such happens]", why did God allow for it to happen?? If McCain/Palin make it to the whitehouse, isn't that suggesting God allowed this to happen for a reason? Just curious what kind of logic you (and others like you) are using...

After I got past the superiority premises (liberal women are superior to conservative women, because they believe the goverment should hold their hand and breast feed them, and allow them to kill their babies after they have sex)...once I got past all that, I could definitely see that you are, as you say, "scared"... scared because if Sarah Palin becomes vice president, or president (since that keeps getting brought up), you're afraid that Sarah will put the power of the government back into the hands of the people.

Personal responsibility, oh CRAP! We can't have personal responsibility!! What is that?? You know the saying, "don't buy what you can't afford"? All those people who buy things that they know they can't afford, should... how should I put this... stop buying things they can't afford! OMG, we're all gonna die now!! Those oil companies Palin went after... how dare she! Who does she think she is fighting them, and giving money back to the people!?!? We should have a goverment who takes from the people, with more taxes for endless programs and redistribute the wealth and create socialism! That's an incentive to work hard!

I, for one, think it will be funny if, after all the Salon attacks against Sarah Palin and numerous other media personalities doing everything they can to attack her, using outright lies and distortions of her record as governor, etc to persuade the ignorant and misinformed, that they still get voted into the whitehouse! Watching you and the media personalities "suffer" without a socialist, secular agenda that they've been forever hoping for, and watching them spend another four years under a Republican they can't stand, ha! And I'll laugh while you cry yourself a river... And when you beg for the government to save you from yourself and your own choices, I'll still be laughing, haha! Have a good one, Rebecca :)

I don't pity Sarah, and I don't cringe when she speaks to the Obama-supporting media when they ask her questions or loaded questions. People that are "scared" of Sarah, are ignorant hypocrites, who each recite the same misinformed liberal talking points, and that's to say the least...

When Obama tells Couric "you've asked me this question three times now", we're supposed to forgive him for not answering the question...

When Obama seeks nearly one billion dollars in earmarks, we're supposed to complain about Sarah Palin's record...

When Obama votes "present" over 130 times instead of making a decision, we're supposed to trust him to make decisions in the highest office in the land...

When Obama attends a church for 20 years with a pastor that says "God **** America, that's in the Bible", we're supposed to believe he's going to unite America...

When Obama wants (himself) to negotiate directly with the president of Iran without preconditions, we're supposed to trust him with our national security...

When Obama won't answer questions that are "above his paygrade", we're supposed to tell him how intelligent and articulate he is...

When Obama says to a female reporter, "I'll get to you in a second sweetie", we're supposed to assume that he would say the same thing to a male reporter...

When Obama chooses Joe Biden as his running mate, we're supposed to believe that, together, they will bring much needed "CHANGE" to Washington and America...

When Obama spends a mere 140 days in the U.S. Senate while running for president, we're supposed to make him our next president...

Yes, keep complaining about how "afraid" you are of Sarah Palin, meanwhile, you jump up and down for Obama, as if he's some sort of Messiah...
