More Palin

Seriously. HOW can anyone allow this woman to be voted in to office. Vice Presidents rarely have much control (the last 8 years excluded). In less than two months, she is already looking out for herself (why is she in Iowa this weekend? We are a BLUE blue state, and she's appearing multiple times. This is a crucial weekend; and she is "wasting" it on Iowa's 7 electoral votes?

This should scare most of you:
Religious leaders in Alaska, including Mr. Donelson, (a pastor and Palin appointee, who helped found the "spiritual warfare" ministry) declined interviews, with several saying they had been told by the McCain-Palin campaign not to talk to members of the news media.

What is known, however, is that Ms. Palin has had long associations with religious leaders who practice a particularly assertive and urgent brand of Pentecostalism known as “spiritual warfare. ”Its adherents believe that demonic forces can colonize specific geographic areas and individuals, and that “spiritual warriors” must “battle” them to assert God’s control, using prayer and evangelism. The movement’s fixation on demons, its aggressiveness and its leaders’ claims to exalted spiritual authority have troubled even some Pentecostal Christians.

Bruce Wilson, a researcher for Talk2Action, a Web site that tracks religious groups, said: “One of the imperatives of the movement is to achieve worldly power, including political control. Then you can more effectively drive out the demons. The ultimate goal is to purify the earth.”

And, so much for getting all "mavericky" on "reform".
