Rich v. Palin

    Thankfully a few folks are taking on the outrageous spectacle that is Sarah Palin.  It never ceases to amaze me how we Christians fall easy suckers for anyone who knows a few of the catch phrases--even if there is no substance.  I mean, really, think about her main point--deriding the elites, the educated.  Anyone who thinks that makes sense, I have a challenge for you--next time you are sick and you go to the doctor (if you can afford to do so), make sure you ask if he/she was in the bottom of their class.  Or, better, make sure they don't have one of those elitey medical degrees. Sheesh......

unfortunately those who should pay attention to the words of someone like rich don't and if they hear any such comments will push them aside because they "like" her. he's preaching to the choir.

Why do we keep talking about her? She's a "no-op", yet we keep her in the news. Guess what though? She's laughing all the way to the bank! Shsssssss.

not only is she laughing all the way to the bank but don't count her out in 2012. enough repubs, conservatives, teabaggers, whatevers like her and will vote for her. why does she still get attention? because that distracts from what's actually going on behind the curtain.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Chuck! Explains why Obama was elected President.

Wake up Doug.
What explains why Obama was elected is the dsigusting Republican performance and consequences (ongoing lest we forget sources) America USA experienced prior to his election. And nothing else.

doug has a blog of his own? what he says here has to be worse there. who reads him? and why?

[Doug]

Zero, thanks for your cruel comments. You never really seem to engage what I'm saying about things, other than "economics sucks I just follow Jesus" sort of comments. If you are interested at all, you can visit my blog and comment on the thoughtful comments (in my opinion) I have about Jim Wallis' latest book, of which Chuck was a big part, if I read the acknowledgements correctly.

Actually, what I say here is "worse" because it is less refined and more rapidly written.
