Palin: Iraq war 'a task that is from God'

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a "task that is from God."

What is funny, is that 300 years ago, the conservative religious nuts of the day used to BURN women who heard voices from god...

Do we REALLY need idiots like this running the country?

[Aging Hippy]

I wonder how that plays to the moderates who are of a more modern intellectually supported faith? Can't be good.

[Rico Sarna]

Palin is a pentecostal which is like the messianic visions of GW on speed. If the evangelicals want this lunatic to represent them, get ready for another four years being humiliated by goofy fringe behavior that everyone will characterize as how real Christians live and think. What a train wreck Palin is going to be.

obviously listens to the same voices that Bush hears - making her another "McSame"!

We already have idiots running the country, and don't need more. But in these enlightened times, burning Sarah Palin would be politically incorrect.

Ever the peace-maker, aren't you?

:)

If I ever meet a republican with an "intellectually supported faith" I will bet the farm that they are a wealthy agnostic...

The only intellectually supported faith I have ever found is the one where we live until we die, and if there IS anything on the other side, we'll know when we get there.

I stand corrected.

I should have said MORE idiots like this...

[WTF]

This is too much. Can someone close to McCain please emplore him to dump her. She is out of her mind. She makes Bush look like a saint.

[WTF]

This is one scary woman.

Two years as President and she launches an ICBM at Moscow, or Tehran.

Wow, what a crazy statement. It's like saying the question of when life begins is above one's own pay grade.

When life begin is a grand question.
Attacking a country and killing thousands of people because its Gods Will.
Just a drop of difference there....

What didn't you understand about that? I understood it just fine. It was a brilliant answer that whooshed right over the heads of crazy Pentecostal women who hear voices in their head and think its God, oh, you aren't one of those women.. so sorry to hear... you have my sympathies, Brittle Fingers.

[Gay rep maverick]

Please tell me someone made this up.

Let's also remember that she's a woman of faith and was addressing a group of ministry students.

I have no problem with what she said.

One man declines to tell you what God says because he doesnt consider himself qualified to speak for God. That is what the pay grade comment meant in case you have trouble understanding english statements. Palin however is happy to tell you that God wanted us to sqander our military invading the wrong country in Iraq.

I detect you are worried and you need to assume the worst to make you feel better at night. I guess a man who speaks eloquently with skeletons in the closet makes you feel better, than a man who does not speak eloquently but has the character to stand for what he believes in!! You need to worry!!

I am a former Democrat-I vote for experience, maverick style. Not for a eloquent, pretty boy who thinks his Ivy League lifestyle is something we all can relate too. My intuition has NEVER failed me!! NEVER! I am going with somebody who will protect me, not somebody who will put me out of business because several people who are not citizens need some health care.
