  Stop Mocking the Fundamentalists - it can ONLY backfire.

  As someone who grew up in the Assemblies of God (but now belong to a UCC church, I am fluent in both religious languages spoken in this campaign. Please understand that there are MILLIONS of Americans that find the positions Ms. Palin takes on the "End Times" completely sane. What's more, and this is critical, those who hold these positions are taught that the ridicule they suffer on account of them only proves that they are true. Sarah Palin may be a fraud, but for the time being, there are millions who see her "religous persecution" as proof that she is God's Chosen Candidate. Those of us who would like to see Barack Obama elected must stop this line of attack.

  That said, there is one thing that jumps out at me.

  What documentation is there that Sarah Palin was directly involved in trying to force the local hospital to stop offering abortion for those who made that choice? Sarah Palin wanted to force women to fly to Seattle for an Abortion. Say that out loud. Sarah Palin wanted to ensure that all women who were considering an abortion were offered counseling in regards to the option of Adoption. No, that's not it. Sarah Palin wanted to ban Partial Birth Abortion. No, that's not it either, although a reliably true statement. Seriously, I want to see this commercial! If it's true, and can be documented, then the news must be spread. Sarah Palin tried to eliminate the option of choice for all Alaskan Women. Oh, and a picture of her with a sign would be even better.
