Program Note: Sarah Palin’s former pastor describes how he expects her religious beliefs to influence her decision-making… Watch Rani Kaye's exclusive report 360° tonight 10 ET.

AC360° Correspondent
Since joining the Republican ticket, Sarah Palin hasn't said a peep about her religion so we decided to look into her beliefs for a piece on AC360 tonight.
She calls herself a Christian, but identified herself more specifically as a Pentecostal for most of her life. She had been a member of the Wasilla Assembly of God church from the time she was a young girl until 2002, when she left the church to join a non-denominational church that is more mainstream.
The McCain campaign has said Palin doesn't consider herself a Pentecostal.
Some Pentecostals speak in tongues, and believe in "faith healing" and "end times", a violent upheaval that will bring the second coming of Jesus and only believers will be saved.
We'll have an interview with Palin's pastor from the Assembly of God and let you know if Palin ever spoke in tongues.
Her former pastor says he has no doubt her religious beliefs are used in her decision-making when it comes to government policy. Regarding her desire to build an Alaskan pipeline, Pastor Tim McGraw told us, "Sarah knows that in Genesis, God creates the world and its very good and that we’re supposed to be caretakers in terms of not destroying the environment so there’s no way that Sarah is going to exploit or damage the Alaska tundra in the name of getting gas if she doesn’t have to."
Her campaign says she doesn't mix her faith with government business, but a video circulating on YouTube shows Palin speaking at Assembly of God and asking church members to pray for the $30 billion natural gas pipeline that she wants to build in Alaska. Here's what she said, "I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas pipeline built so pray for that ...I can do my job there in developing my natural resources..But all of that doesn't do any good if the people of Alaska's heart is not good with God."
She also talked to church members about "being saved" at the Assembly of God and suggested to them that the war in Iraq is a mission from God. Palin said, "our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we are praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."
And remember those controversial comments by Barack Obama's pastor? Well, Palin's pastor has made his share too.
Senior Pastor Ed Kalnin, from Wasilla Assembly of God once said those who voted for John Kerry for president in 2004 would not go to heaven. The church has since said he was joking about those voters going to hell and has apologized. That same pastor also said that Alaska will be a refuge for the "end days"..that Alaska will serve as a shelter for Christians at the end of the world. Pastor Kalnin said "God is going to basically reserve (Alaska) for the place of refuge because the earth is groaning for the return of God. "
Do you think Palin's religious beliefs will affect policy if the Republicans win? She is anti-abortion even in the case of rape and incest, and she believes Creationism should be taught in schools. She is also opposed to gay marriage and spousal benefits for gay couples. And it just so happens her current church, Wasilla Bible Church, is promoting a conference to help turn gays straight through the power of prayer.
Do you think religion has a place in government?

This is ridiculous . . . all Christians believe in "faith healing" and "end times" – it's in the Bible – it's just that Pentecostals are more vocal about it.
You people must really be scared of losing . . .
You seem to fail to know anything about the beliefs of our forefathers. This nation was founded solely for the purpose of religious freedom, and ALL of our founders believed in the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Now, I'm a Baptist and tend to think that the Pentecostals are a bit kooky, but I'd like to see these scary and horrible goings on from Palin's church contrasted with MR. U-S- of KKK -A. Or would your prefer the G.D. the USA? What? Unfair, you say? Well, how about the idea that the U.S. government created AIDS to kill black people?
Oh, that's right. The only bad religion is the one that YOUR political opponent believes in. Well, I guess that's just politics. However, you folks have shown your own silliness. Good work! Keep it up
Get off ot this woman's religious case. She is a woman of faith. Although I am voting for Barak Obama I take offense to your ignorant unqualified evaluation of her theological understanding. I'd rather for a person to have fired up Christian convictions who can intelligently compete in the marketplace of ideas than many weak as water under committed people who only lie and you say that you can completely separate your beliefs from your service. You are being untrue to yourselves and your audience.
This election needs to be covered in prayer!!!!!
What's scary is NOW all of you are against asking for God's guidance. Go back and read Obama's Wailing Wall prayer. Hypocrites!
Know what else is scary? Nobody cares that Obama can sit in a Black Separatist church for 20 years and not know they're theology. If he gets elected I hope he can figure things out faster 'cause he will have only 8 years MAX.
Your shock and horror is laughable.
oh no, who is this wacko of a VP nominee? Can we say, all together, negative come back down to earth week for Sara Palin?
In reference to all the separation of church and state defenses – read the constitution people – that is not stated in the first amendment. The phrase ," wall of separation between church and state" was originally penned by Thomas Jefferson in a letter. Oh wait – how would most of today's generation have any idea of the origin of the phrase? They are the product of the current Marxist education system where they are indoctrinated with radical and non-American ideas. History and truth are not a priority of the current education system – fairness in the outcome and political correctness are the order of the day.
How is this ticket ahead in the polls? OH PLEASE WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!! Red flags EVERYWHERE!!!
When she gets that three o'clock call from God, won't she hasten everybody's journey to the "refuge state" of Alaska? Are Americans ready to let a deadender come this close to the button?
I just have one question...When is Senator McCain going to start running for Presidency? When will he begin to talk about “what the change is he is proposing?” And how will it benefit the American people? I really would like to hear from Senor McCain himself and not from his pawn.
I don't have a problem with Governor Palin (I’m sure she is a unique individual), she is holding up her end of the bargain the “marionette.”
Kim Fields
Underside Voter
Where does she get off saying it is God's will and plan that we are in Iraq? Her comments are so off the wall it makes my head spin. Every time she opens her mouth something incredibly stupid comes out. Why in the world did McCain pick her? As a woman, I would never vote for her just because she is a woman. Both she and McCain are scary. If they are elected, I can not even imagine what will become of the U.S.A. Lets keep religion out of politics, PLEASE!!!
Mary, if you plan to leave the US. Make sure the door hits you on the way out. You are no longer welcome here.
You know, every time people do this it hurts the democratic ticket. Let's see, you say, they are extremist, but there are over 18 million of the just the largest Pentecostal groups, this does not even include the small independent groups. There are a number of other groups that identify with many of their policies and beliefs. As a Catholic, I do not follow or believe in much of it, but honestly, it seems rather ridiculous to argue that people won't identify with her. All this does is remind people of the Father Phleger comments and the Rev. Wright comments in a church that Obama spent over 20 years in and wrote about some of these beliefs. If you won't to argue that she shares the beliefs of her church, then I guess he shares the beliefs of his church and hers are a lot less out of the ordinary. I mean a lot of people are going to have some serious problems believing that if you make religion an issue that the a church that preached that the government created the Aids virus to eliminate black people is somehow more mainstream than the church that speaks in tongues and prays for God to have his hand in their decisions and daily lives.
No, I do not think religion should be a part of government. I think this can get real scary. I have a hard time with Palin stating the Iraq war is the will of God. I don't think God gives her any more insight than anyone else. I would like to hear what Palin really thinks of the issues facing American people today instead of what she thinks the will of God is.
I agree with Don! I think he said it all.
I have no problem with Palin, but I think that McCain picked her for all the buzz issues that have been mentioned (woman, teen pregnancy, family values, abortion...etc). I don't say that she isn't qualified, I just think it craps to use someone to benefit oneself....like I believe McCain has done.
If I were to ask myself who would "Want and Try" the hardest to change the current state of affairs in this Country, my gut tells me Obama.
Problem is...we have tooooooo many people voting on, trading their particular cause (hand-shake or back washing) for any change to take place regardless of who's at the top --Obama or McCain-for it to happen.
We set up a system to protect against a crazy at the top who could do things that were not in the public's best interest, but that's biting us in the backside everyday.
I'm voting for Obama, and I truely hope that "We the People" can make a change with a man that wants the same.
I don't see much difference between radical Muslims and Fundamentists except for the violence and bloodshed. Both groups are intent on changing the world to suit their point of view.
Our founding fathers understood the rabid nature of true believers and specifically opted for seperation of church and state.
Sure do hope the McAin bid fails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We tend to equate strong religious beliefs with strong moral values. As a nation we have embrassed Palin on the basis that she must be a good leader because she has strong religious convictions. Any attacks on her are seen as attacks on all Christians nationwide.
On August 17th she sat in her church as David Brickner, the founder of Jews for Jesus spoke to the congregation. He told congregants that terrorist attacks on Israel were God's "judgment" of Jews who haven't embraced Christianity. Brickner said, "Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. When a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment - you can't miss it."
Can you imagine if another candidate had listened to such devisive comments in their church. They would be admonished for ever attending such a house of worship. It must be OK to view Jews as such failed people worthy of God's wrath for their views.
Her views on a woman's right to choose and a belief that gays and lesbians can change their ways only lead me to believe that we will endure greater intolerance towards alternate social values.
How can such devisive views compliment a senator promising to reach across the aisle.
Maybe we can look forward to Pastor Hagee as our next secretary of state. McCain never said what aisle he was going to reach across – why not the aisle of the evangelical church.
Hope there are intelligent women and men in this country not voting for this fiasco team. Shame on Mcain to pick an inept only to improve his chances and with no consideration for the country!!!
Palin is over the top with her religion, too sure of God's will. Anyone who thinks they know God's will before it happens is crazy! She should be feeling guilty for her vanity and ego! If all she is, is a pit bull with lipstick, then she needs to be put in a dog pound.
Who cares about god how they Gona take care of us ?
I will take her church, a bit off base i admit, over Obama'a racist anti American church in a heart beat. What is comforting to know;t both sides claim a deep spiritual base, what is alarming; the press and much of the country seem to be more afraid of a rural based small church than a deep pocket, big city church that preaches hatred of our country.
Why is it necessary to have a U.S. President profess a believe in God? Why is it necessary to have a U.S. President cling to religion? If the Bible influences a U.S. President, we will expect genocide like in Exodus or the slaughter of children. If a U.S. President believes in rapture, should we not expect he or she to look gleefully toward destruction so that they may return "home?" I say that religious belief has no place in public office, especially when it is a stone throw from the commander and chief.
Even Jesus Christ said religion had no place in government. "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's."
I bet Sarah is wishing she went to a nice, normal church where the pastor gyrates his hips imitating fornication, tells his congregation that the American government created the AIDS virus, calls American the US of KKK-A, takes the side of Osama Bin Laden in the 9-11 attacks and shouts G-Damn America!
The Battle of the Church Videos is ON!!!
As a religiously zealous VP , Sarah Palin is sure to hold a special place at the table for those that share her views. Sarah Palin has already demonstrated that her extreme religious convictions deeply influenced the civil, social and education policies as both Mayor and Governor.
Worse still her policies spill over into seemingly secular areas. She has already asked fellow congregants at her Church to pray for an oil pipeline contending that its contruction was "Gods will." How can we expect progressive energy policy to be supported by someone who does not believe that oil comes from dinosaurs (she doesn’t believe in dinosaurs). More frightening, she believes that Alaska is a sanctuary for true believers following the apocalypse, or end of days (which true believers like herself look forward to and prepare for), which she believes will come from an eruption of violence in the Middle East. This is what informs her foreign policy. Can we afford to take this chance at this time?
ALL this consternation over Palin yet when Barack's minister spews God Damn America and preaches marxist agenda, and his friends include terrorists, and Rezko - you still worship at the alter of a man who wants to create and finance a civilian army, and voted for partial birth abortion – to spell that out – it means when the baby being aborted survives outside the womb, Obama supports KILLING the baby.
If you had checked Palin's voting record re gay benefits, you'd know the truth about how she voted....which is NOT as is being presented here, which is why a very large group of gay Hillary supporters are voting for Palin.
Mary – claiming that Palin will KILL the McCain proves you are one sick woman SEEK HELP.
FROM SHIRLEY:
"CNN is ready to jump at the chance to criticize Sarah Palin regarding her religion but I don’t remember them having anything to say about Barack Obama’s left wing nut Pastor or the radical church he attended ! I watch all the networks and CNN is always on the side of Obama. Their bias is so obvious!!!!!"
To shirley: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING! All the media did was send loop after loop of Rev. Wright. They are not doing the same thing with Sarah Palin. The media with exception of Campbell Brown are giving Sarah Palin a pass because they are afraid of being called a sexist. If they can make us watch loop after loop of Rev. Wright, then play the tape of Sarah in her church. The only difference is Sarah actually spoke on the microphone in front of the congregation. So, she can't say that she was not there or was unaware.
Sarah Palin should be able to speak on her own. Otherwise, the republicans are saying that she is not ready on Day 1. They can not encase her in a glass tower and only bring her out to spout hatred which only serves to mobilize the Republican base. I got news. Everyone does not share those extremist views. McCain is the one trying to reach out to people outside the base. However, he is having a difficult time trying to sell change to me when he voted with George Bush over 90% of the time.
It is not sexist to ask Sarah Palin or surrogates what her stance is on national security and foreign policy (please don't tell it is because she in charge of the Alaskan national guard). It is not sexist to ask her to give me an example of her fiscal responsibility (please don't tell me it is because she sold a jet plane that did NOT sell on EBay). These are just some of the legitimate questions that I have to ask of Sarah Palin. Guess what, these are same questions that are asked of ALL of the candidates! No way, No How, No McCain, No Palin!
I didn't see the same jump on criticism or "vetting" of Obama's radical religious leaders' views by CNN as with Governor Palin. This piece seems very biased.
I am a life long registered democrat, who's father was a life long politician and a very proud democrat. The CNN bias appears to be peeking out more than a bit? I don't believe this media strategy is going to help your Obama cause you (uncomfortably) seem to be championing , not to mention it's blatantly unethical.
I am a veteran journalist who longs for the old days where opinion was not a part of general news reporting and opinion was carefully labelled.
Is this the reporting wave of the future?
Does religion have a place in government? I don't know how you can separate it. No matter what an individual believes (Christian, Atheist, Muslim etc.), it affects their worldview and how they make decisions.
Separation of church and state was never meant to keep an individual's faith out of their public life. It was intended for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
Here we go again! Mixing politics with religion.
In all my 52 years, I have never seen so many politicians running on
the basis of the zeals of religious beliefs, or either plugging for their
(religious) vote.
I think many American's have lost it for voting on such platforms as religion. As a matter of fact, I think that many of the so-called religious are merely using the pulpit for a political platform instead of what it was actually intended.
The current generation must have completely forgotten, or did not learn the history of politics, and cannot possibly reflect upon it either; The politicians are meerly playing on the fresh new meat of the ignorant..
I for one do not want to turn back the clock and undo our progress, nor do I wish to repeat history,
What can I say, there were those in the past who supported Stalin and Hitler even though the truth about these men were well known.
I like what Bill Maher said, paraphrased here, "I think we are too dumb to be governed" I'd add..."become too dumb, and also...these days."
If we do not oust these so called Conservative: "Flag in one hand,gun in the other,while quoting from the bible nut jobs" who seem to fall for anything that comes down the pike (by voting instead of what is actually right for our country,) then we in this country will be like a snowball headed for the proverbial Hell, that the zealots hope to avoid.
I fear, that America has already reached its peak, and after one reaches the top there is only one way and that's down. The sad thing is...that we let it happen by our internal ignorance and complacency.
Vote Obama/Biden!
When Obama subjected his children to the rants of Wright and Pfleuger, this show covered it and moved on. The Obama supporters said it didn't matter, that Obama wouldn't be influenced, that all was well. Let's not even get into the Muslim rumors/reality. Now all of a sudden, Sarah Palin is a Pentecostal, and the world will end. What a joke. If Obama listening to racism and stupidity for most of his adult life and saying the man who brought it to him brought him to Jesus doesn't scare you people, nothing should. For the record, many Roman Catholic Charismatics speak in tounges, fall out, and believe in healing services. I know because as a former Roman Catholic I've been to the services, watched the priests in action, and been prayed on at them. Maybe you should ask Joe Biden how he can belong to a church that speaks in tounges and supported for the longest time by omission the rape of innocent children by clergy? If he can put up with that, if being Roman Catholic formed him, how does that influence his policy as a leader negatively? Once again, CNN plays the double standard in this election and the lemming viewers follow blindly.
These extreme views by Governor Palin are absolutely unacceptable. We cannot put some in one of America's highest offices who does not respect the separation of church and state. Further, she has not answered any questions about where she stands on the very extremist positions of her church. Before even considering Sarah Palin, she needs to publicly denounce these statements made by her pastor.

Cindy,
Pentecoatal is not a given religion, it is the name of a feast day [ Acts 2:1]. It was during this pentecost feast, that the followers of Jesus were seated in the Upper room, awaiting the coming of the Holy Ghost, which had been promised to them by Jesus [Luke 24:49].
Also Jesus never called his followers Christians, that name was given to the apostles by people of Antioch [Acts 11:26] Jesus told his followers to be sanctified [John 17:19], and called his followers by the name saints[Romans 8:27; 1st Thess. 3:13] Also religion is not the life you live but the services that you give[James 1:26-27]
The many denominations, you see today, exist because everytime one came up with a different interpretation of the scripture, they separated themselves, and gave their group a different name. So what you see is a great schism among the followers of Christ.
But knowing the mind of man, Jesus knew that his followers would be called Christians, so before the name was given, a judgment was set forth for those who would call themselves Christians[ 2nd Chron 7:14]
Therefore the name of the many denominations came from the mindset of mankind, but the life we should live was set forth by the doctrine of Jesus Christ [ Matt,5:1- Matt.7:28]
And as for the results of the presidential campaign, God will give the victory over into the hand of Barack Obama.
Gov. Palin has never spoke in tongues, according to Randi's report on the Situation Room. Gov. Palin has never banned books, according to the internet reporter on the Situation Room. Yes, while campaigning for Governor, Palin did support the bridge to nowhere. But once she was elected, she realized what a waste of money it would be considering the many additional needs of the residents of Alaska. So she fought Sen. Ted Stevens (Congress) and ended up using the money for other more demanding needs.
Maybe everyone should remember what the Executive branch of the government does. It signs bills into law. It has the power to veto bills that do not have an overriding majority of the vote. A President can propose legislation, but it is Congress' responsiblity to vote on these bills. So for those of you who are afraid of what our next President can change, that will depend on Congress.
The Vice President only casts a deciding vote when there is a tie in Congress. When Palin questioned what would the VP do, she was questioning how, or if, McCain would actively involve her as part of the Executive Branch.
Religion has ZERO business in government and I find people like Palin who want to use their religious beliefs to change how I live i.e. censorship of books in a library and no abortion in case of rapes or incest to be an infringement on my rights for freedom FROM religion.
Sarah Palin's comments and ideas will set our country back 50 years. I agree with the others. The first time I heard her speak, I told my husband we are moving to Canada if McCain wins the election.
What is wrong with these people who believe something just because McCain and Palin say it? They are obviously too lazy or not bright enough to research the facts and make an informed choice.
Now, after watching the video of her speaking to her church congregation I am truly scared. If she believes what she said, then it goes without saying that she believes that she is also "a part of God's plan". What worries me most about this, is that people who strongly believe something is destined to happen, will make it happen. Sound familiar? I believe our current president thought along the same lines. What is this about change again???
Lord help us.
Yes I believe Palin's religious beliefs will affect the way she would govern if McCain was elected president. Why have your beliefs if you're not going to stand by them? Your personal beliefs are who you are as a human being and affect how you make your judgments. I wanted to be a priest until I was 19. After 9/11 I wanted to understand the new war and why we were fighting against each other in the name of God. As I learned more and more, I slowly began to lose my belief in organized religion all together. I'm still seeking answers but have found none. Because I'm on this self awareness journey, I now find myself being told I will GO TO HELL from some of my own Christian family members. These are the same people that I've grown up with and that I've helped financially time and time again. If I had said nothing to my family members, all would be well and business as usual. You can make good sound decisions and live a good moral life without religion. Religion can make a person turn on you in a split second and without warning. And in this case, it could make a VP turn against a group of US citizens for their beliefs or another country.
During the darkest hours of our nations history, WWI, WWII, etc., it was those with strong faith in their Country, in God, and in a greater goodness beyond themselves that allowed this Country to persevere and endure the pain and suffering of our lost soldiers in battle. The only reason why these bloggers who mock faith in politics have the ability to say their piece is because those with faith who died in battle ensured their freedom and prevented the Nazis and other enemies like them from destroying our nation. Faith does have an important role in Government!
We've had 8 years of a failed Republican administration with a hardcore religious conservative as President - and in the process, our country has gone down the tubes. Why anyone would want to vote for another four years of this nonsense is way beyond me. Is this country really that stupid?
nobody cares about her religion, this is not news. Just let the cards fall.
Palin seems awfully extreme to me – banning books, supporting the teaching of creation in schools (thank you I can teach my children their religion myself), her belief that global warming is a farce – she just doesn't seem to be in step with anyone except perhaps the far extreme right conservatives. Her speech at the convention with its sarcasm and belligerence really turned me off. Religion should be kept out of government and Palin should be kept out of office.
Even GOD Himself gives the people of the earth their FREE WILL to CHOOSE in all things before us. It is beyond her AUTHORITY to take the free will of the people to CHOOSE BIRTH CONTROL NOT BY HER FORCE. GOD HIMSELF DOES NOT TAKE FREE WILL FROM THE HUMAN RACE TO MAKE THEIR CHOICE IN LIFE. You can NOT force people to serve God according to religious practices , people have to have the heart condition and the concious to guide them NO MATTER IF THEY GO TO CHURCH EVERY DAY OF THEIR LIVES.
Sorry but I think we have to question the judgement of any politician that believes that they are doing God's will. They can think they are doing what is good and God would want based on their religious philosophies but to think they are some kind of agent of God just seems not sane to me. I have never and will never understand why things like the paranoia and delusiosn of beliving in antichrists and end days isn't seen as a form of mental illness, for he just doesn't seem sane to me.
An individual’s religious views will impact their decision making and therefore religion will always have a place in government. What is important to me is how the candidate will use their religious views in governing.
When ask when life began, Sen. Biden stated that he accepts the Catholic position that life begins at conception. However, he said that belief will not determine his decisions in governing, in the case of abortion (and other issues). Since I know how Sen. Biden will use religion in governing, I can (with lots of good reporting from the press) test whether his political decisions have matched with his statement.
Gov. Palin's religious views will obviously impact her decisions, as she has carved out an anti-abortion stance. Further, Gov. Palin has set out her religious values as a window into her life and how she will act. Therefore it is imperative that she provide detailed answers about how her various religious beliefs will impact her decision making so that I, as a voter, can make an informed decision.
I am not troubled that a leader's decisions will be informed by their religious beliefs. I am troubled when candidates and their party make religion a tenet of their campaign but refuse to answer questions. I am troubled when a candidate and party refuse press interviews because they believe the legitimate news media is not treating them fairly. I am troubled when candidates and their party make a critical piece of selecting the right candidate part of the political game.
When a candidate will not fully discuss how religion shapes their decisions and allow appropriate media scrutiny, then religion has no place in government.
Randi:
Is Sarah Palin the Barbie Doll of the Right Wing or is she just a messenger with John McCain telling Republicans that the conservative right is being represented?
Does the Republican Party represent all citizens of the United States or just Christians?
As a Christian, please understand that the Republican Party doesn't represent ALL Christians. To me, it's about love and hope, NOT power and politics.
What happened to separation of church and state??? Religion has NO place in the White House. Bush said that God told him to invade/attach Iraq...Palin says that it's God's mission. People need to wake up, this country was built because we wanted Freedom...not someone telling us what to do and after 200 plus years this hasn't changed. I like the fact that I can go to the PUBLIC library and read any book that I want. I like the fact that I can form my own opinion. Palin is scary!!! and we better watch out b/c McCain is old and doesn't have the best health record.
For you all that are bashing Palin for her beliefs you better take a look at Obama. Because the form of preaching that Wright does is the pentecostal way, well without the racist junk added in. They are known for their hollering, screaming and what not. In fact pentecostal preaching started in black churches. First came here in America from the Welsh in 1904 when a pastor went there and came back to hold revivals in the U.S.! Do you really know Obama like you think!? FYI...the name of the church he went to is the Trinity. That is the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, same as what Sarah believes in btw! HMMM...maybe you ought to delve into that!
And also a lot of other religions hold some of the same thinkings like the Roman Catholic, the Baptist...you all need to get a clue. It's not just her or the pentecostal that holds these beliefs.
Cindy...Ga.
What more do Americans need ot know about this woman? Isn't it all as clear as crystal? This is very concerning after hearing about her stringent views on the Abortion issue, sex education, and her arrogant way of leading Alaska. Wake up America before it's too late!
Palin is actualy worst that Cheney. And McCain is worse than Bush.
CNN is ready to jump at the chance to criticize Sarah Palin regarding her religion but I don’t remember them having anything to say about Barack Obama’s left wing nut Pastor or the radical church he attended !
Then you've obviously suffered a head injury and should seek treatment with a doctor immediately. Are you kidding me?! CNN was all over the Wright story.
when will she talk to the press by her self
