    You're missing the point!

    This woman's religious viewpoint is very relevant as well as her church's teachings. Some have said that this denomination has been around for decades with no harm. This is only true in that they have had no power to enact what they perceive as the outworking of bible prophesy. They want the war in the "WAR TO END ALL WARS" in the Middle East which will propell Jesus to come and get his faithful followers (The Rapture)leaving the rest of mankind to die in the battle of the end times. THIS IS THE FEAR; THAT MS. PALIN WILL FEEL THAT SHE IS THE INSTRUMENT TO BRING THIS ABOUT! The question she needs to answer is will she use her power to promote peace of assist in creating conditions for the Rapture? You already know the answer. She has already stated/prayed that the war in Iraq be part of God's plan. The answer to that question should tell you that we are in a world of hurt!
