    Irresponsible!!!

    Regardless of who this pastor is or his purposes for bringing it out. I personally believe that it should be brought out so the voter can decide for themselves. No one hesitated for a second to bring out Obama's pastor Wright's position on issues. And drove it in the ground for weeks on end.

    Palin should terrify every Christian in this country. As a Roman Catholic I can tell you the woman is terrifying and I won't be voting for her. Mostly because an extremist is a extremist. Regardless of whether it's a Moslem or a Christian. It can only mean the end to 250 years of religious freedom when people like her start taking over. The next thing to come is religions like mine become outlawed for the Evangelical religion. Let's face it that's their ultimate goal. They have told us a million times we are a 'Christian Nation' even though we aren't. They plan on turning us into one. I believe every word they say!

    To put her in any position of power is completely irresponsible for McCain. It's obvious he wants to become President bad he will pull any slimy trick he can to get there. That he is pulling the same trick's Bush did in wrapping himself in religion and appealing to the religious voter. Who obviously isn't bright enough to see through these people. But, I am one who is not fooled regardless of what the Pope says.
