I’m not actually going anywhere, it’s just that I’m from (ahem) north of the border - that other country Palin has the foreign experience with - so I don’t really think I should say much.

Anyone see this? The website [www.voteforthemilf.com](http://www.voteforthemilf.com) is owned by the McCain campaign. 😃 [http://whois.domaintools.com/voteforthemilf.com](http://whois.domaintools.com/voteforthemilf.com) [http://www.govgap.com/2008/09/28/john-mccain-own-voteforthemilfcom/](http://www.govgap.com/2008/09/28/john-mccain-own-voteforthemilfcom/) ---

Not getting it. Is there such a website? Or just a name for one? Ms Obama is smokin’ hot, in a church-goin sort of way. Any guy who’d do Sarah Palin is too lazy to jerk off. ---

> [@Equipoise](#): > > Ayup. Bad enough being a petty, vindictive, corrupt bitch, but to think of a petty, vindictive, corrupt bitch who’s certain she’s been Appointed By God to do anything she wants. Scary shit. She is not petty or vindictive. She is a mere tool in the hands of her deity’s will, and it would be evil and wrong to allow people to stand in the way of her deity’s will, or to remain in positions where they may do so in future. Nor is she corrupt. It would be a failing in her role as a tool in the hands of her deity not to use every means at her disposal to acheive her deity’s goals. Further, it is insulting to make an issue of any benefits she may obtain: she obtains them in order to be a better tool in the hands of her deity. ---

That’s one fucked-up diety, right there. There are lots better people with a purer heart who can Do His Will. I mean, I always thought His Will was stuff like love and compassion and caring and charity and shit like that. I’m constantly amazed at the so-called “Christians” who think otherwise. ---
