GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, "Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God." Are we fighting a holy war?PALIN: You know, I don't know if that was my exact quote.GIBSON: Exact words.
GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?PALIN: They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.
GIBSON: What if Israel decided it felt threatened and needed to take out the Iranian nuclear facilities?PALIN: Well, first, we are friends with Israel and I don't think that we should second guess the measures that Israel has to take to defend themselves and for their security.
PALIN: Transportation fund dollars still came into Alaska. It was our choice, Charlie, whether we were going to spend it on a bridge or not. And I said, thanks, but no thanks. We're not going to spend it on the bridge.
GIBSON: The state of Alaska, under OMB figures in 2008, got $155 million in earmarks for a population of 670,000. That's $231 per person in Alaska. The state of Illinois, Obama's state, got $22 per person. You got 10 times per person as much. Governor, this year, requested $3.2 million for researching the genetics of harbor seals, money to study the mating habits of crabs. Isn't that exactly the kind of thing that John McCain is objecting to? How does that square with your reforms?PALIN: *Shit, my whole platform is a fraud*
GIBSON: Would you change and accept it in rape and incest?PALIN: My personal opinion is that abortion allowed if the life of the mother is endangered. Please understand me on this.
GIBSON: Guns, 70 percent of this country supports a ban on semiautomatic assault weapons. Do you?PALIN: I do not and, you know, here again, life being an open book here, as a candidate, I'm a lifetime member of the NRA. I believe strongly in our Second Amendment rights.

We're not going to spend it on the bridge. So she's against wasteful government spending, yet she takes the money anyways and doesn't build the bridge?

Wow, I always knew that you were an uneducated imbecile, but never before has it been more obvious than in this thread.
Now anyone with even the most basic comprehension skills can see that Palin isn't calling the Iraq war a holy war. She is merely praying to God that we are doing God's will in Iraq. In other words, she is praying that the Iraq war is right and just.
The issue isn't about taking government money. Every city, state, and county in the United States takes federal money. The point in all of this is whether the money is being spent on legitimate uses or not. In this case of the infamous "bridge to nowhere", that project was considered to be a waste of government money. So that project was killed and the money was used to build other roads, bridges, etc that were actually important and needed repairs. What exactly is the problem, besides the fact that you are trying really hard to be outraged about something?
Think about it like this: the US government made drugs like marijuana illegal. Does that mean there is no weed in the country?
Considering that Governor Palin had less than 2 weeks to be brought up to date with foreign policy I really can't complain about anything she said.
I never said that, I'm sure you can read. She said that the US military is on a task from God. That the Iraq war is part of God's plan. That's a pretty insane thing to say. And you being educated would realize he didn't misquote her at all. Read the question. The holy war part wasn't a quote.
The point is Alaska takes more government money per person, then any other state. So a women, who apparently wants reform, and fights earmarks, takes more money from the government per person, then anyone else. How can you actually justify that? 3.2 Million for harbor seals eh? Sounds wasteful, maybe not to some people. What about McCain's classic example of studying DNA of bears? Sounds completely hypocritical doesn't it?
That's a pretty illogical example. I won't explain why, it should be obvious to an educated person. The major reason US's gun violence is so high, because guns are so easy to get. If guns are hard to get, gun violence will go down. Look at Britain, Europe, Canada, anywhere with bans on guns. Again, the facts don't support what she says. You're very naive. Again, this is about assault rifles. Assault rifles are for killing human beings.
What about rape victims and abortions?
Have you ever left the US Real American? Have you graduated from college? Because the things you say, sound like a 17 year old, C average kid, who watches too much FOX news. Nothing you said made any logical sense.
Don't you think it's odd they don't let Palin talk to reporters or do more interviews? Doesn't that mean something to you? McCain doesn't want people to get to know her, because her values are crazy. He just wants a women to attract crowds. She's not educated (Creationist, anti-global warming, anti-environment) and her evangelical values are completely insane. She's an idiot, with a lack of knowledge in everything. And you're excuse is, she's new, give her a break, she hasn't memorized the talking points. http://www.factcheck.org/Go here, start reading, don't stop. Then come back and we'll try to have a discussion. You need the facts before you start making arguments.
No offense, but I have always wondered the exact same thing about you in terms of your stupidity. But then I read that you were a Canadian and that explained a whole lot. No offense, but Canadians are well known for being mindless sheep who are brainwashed by their left wing media. Your own government monitors what its citizens think and say and hauls them into government courts if someone holds the wrong opinion (google the names Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant). So when someone lives in a country where there is no such thing as freedom of speech,I guess I can't really be suprised that you are unable to think rationally and logically. It is really sad though.
yo this guys name is faith. he;s a virgin. hes 27 yrs old. he watches black porn. he studies at devry.cwalker is an alias. stop arguing with him. but keep making fun of him. just stop trying to convince him with logic and common sense and all that wierd shit

We have freedom of speech, but when people say stupid things, we tend to ignore them. Believing in Creationism is insane, irrespective of whether she wants to teach it in schools. You obviously have no idea what you're even talking about. Canada isn't overly liberal, we're just pro-common sense. Common sense and religion is usually at odds. You're values and opinions are based on things people believed 200 years ago. Pro-Life? Give me a break. Some people aren't fit to be parents, and shouldn't have kids. An innocent human life eh. What about the 200,000 innocent Iraqi's that Americans have killed? You're not pro-life. You're pro-American life.

You know, I thought about writing more, but obviously, you're fucking hopeless Real American. Isn't it even slightly obvious that everyone here thinks you're an idiot? Doesn't that say something? Religion is a border line mental illness. Rejecting science in favor of creationism, is fucking insane. Believing God has a plan, which some how favors America, is fucking insane. You're not worth the time, you're useless, and brainwashed. Are you 27 like the wise King Tech says? Are you formally educated? Stupid people can relate more to other stupid people, like you relating more to Palin. Over 50% of Americans, are stupid, look at the 2004 election. No intelligent person would've voted for Bush the second time.
