All About McCain - Page 129

Another interesting part of the article talks about how Palin wants to continue that discussion about Rev. Wright. If so, then commenting on her witchcraft minister should be up for grabs as well. I think if Palin wants to say that Obama is defined by Wright, then she's defined by her minister and therefore believes in witchcraft. That's her thinking, not mine.

And I also must say that my parents do not agree 100% with what the pastors say or do in their Catholic parish. They have been going to church for 60 years. My dad supports marriage equality for his two kids. Just because your minister is saying things it doesn't automatically mean you feel the same way.

He opposes it on a federal level (and that goes for both an amendment to ban gay marriage or one to explicitly allow) and believes it should be handled at state level. That doesn't mean he opposes a state level amendment to ban gay marriage.

Didn't McCain support an Arizona measure against gay marriage? I thought I read something about that but I don't have references.

How come it's ok for Palin to harp on Obama's association with 40-years-ago domestic terrorists, but the press doesn't nail her for her current marriage to a sussessionist?

But is that allegation true?
(I'm not certain.)

I think something like this would be more appropriate for Palin:
