    Taliban Barby Goes to Washington

    thank you salon for this eye-opening article. we really need to be aware of what a danger the this country we love this woman is. picking someone with her positions wouldn't matter so much if the person leading the ticket was not a man in his 70s who has battled melanoma numerous times. there's a very real chance that this woman could become president with his demise.

    one of the most harmful effects of the reagan years was packing the federal courts with rightwing, reactionary judges. because of retirements and so forth, we have a chance now to reverse this trend but only if there is a democratic administration in the white house. but a mccain/palin administration will further the damage to our nation for another generation and we simply can't let this happen.

    there seem to be a rather large amount of rumor and hint of scandal surrounding gov. palin. it brings back the old adage: where there's smoke, there's usually fire. i hope we don't wait until after she's in office (ala spiro agnew) to find the house in flames! and the idea that the #2 person in the administration believes in creationism boggles the mind. george bush keeps saying that we have to fight them over there in order not to have to fight them over here. but my hook and by crook the christian taliban looks to be in a good position of taking over the reins of power in this country. i hope people really realize what a danger this is to our country!
