The GOP's cheerful viciousness

    @UsedtobeKristen

    My apologies for not knowing where this comes from: "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."

    Do you have a link to the article where this is quoted? It's a gem and I just had to laugh. I doubt there are two more ignorant people ever to have run for higher office. If you have the time I'd love to know the source.
