Palin: God Will Do the Right Thing on Election Day
FINDLAY, Ohio (CNN) –- In an interview posted online Wednesday, Sarah Palin told Dr. James Dobson of “Focus on the Family” that she is confident God will do “the right thing for America” on Nov. 4.

Dobson asked the vice presidential hopeful if she is concerned about John McCain’s sagging poll numbers, but Palin stressed that she was “not discouraged at all.”

“To me, it motivates us, makes us work that much harder,” she told the influential Christian leader, whose radio show reaches tens of millions of listeners daily. “And it also strengthens my faith because I know at the end of the day putting this in God’s hands, the right thing for America will be done, at the end of the day on Nov. 4.”

if the past eight years were some sick joke of his?

43. LOL. Gotta love Churchy Spice's stupidity.
I guess our votes don't count - the magical bearded man who lives in the sky will deliver us to her capable hands. Guh. What an idiot. Per the Diebold point, I totally agree that we need to be wary, but honestly, if this plan is in the works, does anyone honestly believe they'd trust this dumb fuck with what they were up to and feel reassured that they'd keep it a secret? She's visual candy, a prop, a walking/screeching distraction. Nothing more.

I can't even articulate how happy I will be when this dipshit is in our collective rear view mirror. What an embarrassment to our country.

9. She should watch out for lightning!
I think this is such sacrilege when someone professing to be a Christian acts as if they know more, are more worthy, etc. than others.

What a hypocrite.

59. But is he a naturalized citizen?
I know he's at least 18. Heck, his son is over 2000 years old.

But, can we find proof of his citizenship? Or will the GOP blame ACORN for any proof of Yahweh or Jehovah or God registering to vote?

Watching the GOP make demands of God and mock Him reminds me of the book. These people (if they truly are Christians) are playing with a fire they can't handle.

They talk about keeping America safe from countries and ideologies that use religion to control people, and yet.. they do the same thing. Leave God out of it you idiot. If your party can't win on its own merits, then tough shit.

1. Sit down.

2. Bend at the waist and put your head between your legs.

3. Kiss your ass goodbye.

27. You're God d*mn right he will Palin!
Hopefully Jesus will come back and banish you like he did the Pharisees in Matthew.

Seriously, have any of you read Matthew 23? Read it, I PROMISE you the Pharisees they describe are EXACTLY the same as the Fundamentalists/Republicans today and Jesus scolded them for fixating on trivial matters while ignoring more important issues such as justice, mercy, faithfulness. Eventually he banishes them for their smug, hypocritical sense of superiority. It's a good read just to see how similar it is to the Repubes.

Since it's "God's will", right?

Of course not, these hillbillies bring this schtick up all the time to appeal to the low-info voters that vote based on one or two issues or complete lies.

Thanks a lot, God.

This kind of rhetoric actually makes me crazy: in a Democracy political power does not devolve from God; it is granted by the people. This is the foundational concept of our constitution, but somehow wingnuts just don't seem able to grasp it.

53. at least palin is becoming more and more honest about how she REALLY thinks
she's been hiding these more extreme views which many of us have been pointing to all along.

the mainstream media will now be forced to really look at her religious views and associations without being caught up in the tit for tat nonsense with wright.

and while the mccain campaign continues to wave wright as a threat, i dont think anybody is scared.

57. Well I guess that's why she's losing
I'm not a religious person, but it does bother me when people invoke God in order to win a competition.
If I did believe in God, well I'm most certain he/she would be entirely too busy to care who won what election, game show, tug of war...whatever competition that is played.
But being that Obama is christian and God had to choose sides, it's a no brainer. Obama has led a virtuous and inspiring life and has united a nation with words of hope and i doubt if there was a God that they would be on the side of a team who has spent this campaign slandering Obama's good name and dividing the nation. So if there is a god and Palin is looking to him/her to win this election for them, that would explain their poll numbers. (yelling to Palin) "Hey moron if you want the election won, you need to do it yourself, too bad it's too late"
