    It's called circumstancial evidence...

    and people are convicted and sent to prison with it. Most of the time, the people are also guilty. I don't need line for line to tell me she wanted to ban the book. It falls right in line with her views.

    On another note, it's not really about being a Republican or Democrat at this stage of American history. Oil Company execs run our country right now, and I am over it.

    Plus, we MUST keep church and state seperate to prosper and to keep our civil liberties. Just because Palin is a woman doesn't mean I can relate to her. She has birthed 5 kids, is "thrilled" that her 17 year old daughter is pregnant by a "self proclaimed redneck", wears designer glasses yet has all these mouths to feed... I cannot comprehend. I have two kids, and haven't shopped at the mall in 5 years. Please... I beg all women everywhere to take a REAL in depth look at Palin, her past, her beliefs, and her intentions. Don't vote for her just because she is a woman... because before you know it, she will be the ONLY woman with a choice.
