WTF are you talking about??? Your words: "In her actions concerning gays and her tinkering with a Supreme Court ruling". Please give a link (a real link to a real source and not one of Mike's BS sources) to her actions concerning gays and her tinkering with a Supreme Court ruling or are these like the four heart attacks you claim John McCain had???? (HE DID NOT)
I REALLY hope you aren't as stupid as you appear to be. You certainly don't believe EVERYTHING you read on the Internet do you? Mike's posts are like the British tabloids - they are full of garbage. BTW - Most Americans are AGAINST same-sex marriage. Palin's position is NOT extreme at all and as governor she had every right to do as she did. You know absolutely NOTHING about government in the US. ----- Original Message ----- From: "creusa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PoliticalForum" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 9:06 AM Subject: Re: Palin described the building of a $30 billion natural gas pipeline in Alaska as "God's will," which she would work to carry out as governor. She is truly a bigoted recidivist who may also be a closet white supremacist (they think like this too) who believes in the Voice of God telling her things...she is now handling truckloads of money because she hears voices!! I cannot believe that she is taken seriously...she needs locking up!! In her actions concerning gays and her tinkering with a Supreme Court ruling, she WOULD be locked up in Europe for hate crimes. And quite rightly too. It is bigotry pure and simple, born of stupidity and closed-mindedness. I'll bet she doesn't care for Muslims taking their Q'ran litetrally...what hypocrisy!!
