    Is Sarah Palin another G W Bush, but even worse?

    G W Bush, as an exceedingly ignorant man, but a clever politician, saw the evangelical Christians as a means to the end of obtaining the governorship of Texas, and then the White House. Bush, however, seems to have pretended to be a believer.

    Sarah Palin, every bit as ignorant about the wider world of international affairs, diplomacy, etc., as was Bush, may be sincere in her fundamentalist Christian beliefs. If this be the case, she would be a menace in the White House. Remember, the Reverend Hagee pushes hard for war with Iran, to help to bring forward the day of Armageddon! Is Palin an End Believer?
