Re: Latest attack on Palin. She prays!
Quote:
The thing is though, one of the major reasons she was picked as McCains running mate was to shore up the evangelical support for McCain. If she distances herself herself from that history (which i believe would be a lie, as it surely was with Obama). If she distances herself from the extreme views of those who want to support her, her only usefulness as McCains running mate vanishes. I can't imagine she has any other qualities that would make her a politically strategic choice. Andrew

Just admit it, dude. You can't think of anything. You have a bad argument.

Re: Latest attack on Palin. She prays!
Maybe you could actually outline what the concrete fear is here. So far all I'm getting is crickets. What could she enact that would harm the country.

Maybe you don't. That might explain the discrepancy. Quote:

I haven't made an ad hominem attack. I harbor certain suspicions, based on conctrete data I have already made clear. This, coupled with my personal experience, leads me to a certain conclusion. If you're unable to see why that might be important, that's your issue. I'm not saying she will do anything nuts. I'm saying I have ample reason to distrust her, and I've backed it up. Quote:

Mmm. You might actually have a point here. Let's look at Obama. He's black. Black people committ murder seven times more often than white people do. I'd better assume Obama is gonna kill someone then. All the classic tipoffs are there. Why would anyone vote for a black man with this evidence?

I'm not the one who can't come up with a scenario. Still. You can't even prove that we invaded Iraq solely based on Bush's religion. Suspicions of WHAT? WHAT could she actually enact that would harm the country based on her religious beliefs? You just can't answer. It's just amusing now to watch you flop around.

A. your attempt at irony fails B. I find your grasp of statistics and rhetoric like 'A', above. C. your assumptions are the worst of all. I have presented a case on what I know, and what has shown me, historically, to be the most likely case. You have presented, uh, something.

And what I've most clearly presented is that you think her beliefs are "bad" and "dangerous" with absolutely no possible scenario that can play out. Just give me one. One thing that could be enacted that could harm the country. Come on, genius.

A religious fanatic led us into an unnecessary war, and said, plainly, god told him to do so. Google is your friend here. If Sarah Palin were president, your blinkard way of thinking wouldn't believe she could, and our troops could be on the ground before you knew what happened. If you have to keep asking WHAT, you're not thinking. That's not amusing. That's worthy of pity.

Re: Latest attack on Palin. She prays!

McCain is a hawk on Iran (of a secular nature), and Palin could be used to garner support in the religious right for any adventures he might have planned in that region. Another example: She could use her position to avoid tackling the enormous environmental problems the world faces because her theology of dominion necessarily places human wants and desires above that of the environment and other animals. Dominionism offers an extreme anthropocentric view of our place in the cosmos. There are plenty more examples in the realm of abortion rights, stem cell research, creationism. She might not be able to ever pass laws on these issues, but she could waste at least 4 years giving respect to them as important issues. There are plenty of books and internet sources on this topic. I don't really need to hold you hand if you want to learn about it. I'm sure you can read about it and figure it out for yourself. Your apparent ignorance on the subject seems more feigned than genuine anyway. Andrew

![]() ![]() A religious fanatic didn't lead us into an unnecessary war. The Senate voted on it. I'd never want you to hold my hand, because you can't. I'm thinking plenty, you just don't have the conviction in your belief or any imagination to give an example. I think I've pretty much proved that you're a prejudiced fear monger with no concrete scenario to back up what will surely by BAD. Whatever it is.
