    @ yourbestbet007

    There's nothing essentially "evil" about any of the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates. They've all paid their dues and got to their level of politics by devotion to cause, and a lot of hard work. Not to mention incredible intelligence and talent.

    Yeah. It's hard work making up history:

    11. "Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?"

    Palin: "Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance."

    And it takes 'talent' to try to ban books.

    But there's not much "intelligence" in wanting to have "creationism" taught in the public schools. Click my sig for details.

    Cheers,
