    McBush and Sarah Palin

    The country needs to wake up and realize that it would be a witch hunt if these two people got in office. Aside from the fact that under George Bush our country has lost respect, thousands of lives in a war based on lies, and now has chosen a woman who is a "good old boy" proclaiming to be a Christian who loves people. Well, if she cares about people she will let people live and not do so called book burnings in libraries. To see her bent over a bloody dead carabaou which she has just killed, and to hear that she flies over wolves and shoots them....she has no compassion for animals, the polar bears, etc. What makes us think she has compassion for human beings? Wise up, America. It's time for real change with Obama. Look at Wall St. today. Companies which have been in business on Wall St. for a century falling into bankruptcy. What part of George Bush would you like to keep in 2009? There are very important issues here that need to be addressed, i.e. domestic partnerships...not just gays, senior citizens who cannot be married because they will lose their benefits from a deceased spouse, women's rights which have been fought for long and hard and have made many strides over the past decades...

    Let's keep religion where it belongs, in church. I am speaking as a Christian but I am not looking at a narrow gate to heaven, but a much wider one which allows all types of people, all colors of the rainbow.

    You guys out there who just look at that pretty Eskimo face and there's nothing wrong with that, think again...a wolf in sheep's clothing. Don't drink the kool aid.
