    Find something of substance

    So many of you people are so scared of Sarah Palin because she is nothing like you seem to be. You attack her beliefs (if what you say are actually her beliefs)and push the same old leftist buttons (gay issues, abortion issues) that the demos have been pushing every four years since the early 1970's to try to stay in power or regain power. And look what that has gotten us. Massive government dependency and constant attacks on the family, particularly the decimation of black families. There's no money left. It's happening now before your eyes. The government's broke. Stick to the issues, like the economy and the loss of our constitutional rights and how to fix both.
