As a Palin supporter, just want to make clear that I do not in any way WORSHIP her. I admire, respect her leadership skills, and recognize that our country NEEDS her.

So funny...if you really like someone you immediately become an idol worshiper...I really like my airplane too but hardly worship it...:oP

Where it becomes worship is when you close your mind to all reason.

Where it becomes worship is when, for months, you do nothing but gush and gush and gush about how your particular airplane is the greatest thing since the Wright Brothers.

Where it becomes worship is when you insist that every bad inspection report is not true because of (insert 534 excuses here).

If your aircraft required at least 43 gallons of fuel (Bill Clinton's winning percentage in 1992 with a strong third party candidate) to cross a body of water, would you insist on risking your life and your family's life in your airplane crossing that body of water if it only had 19 gallons of fuel?

If you insist that, yes, you would try to fly over that body of water with only 19 gallons of fuel and risk disaster because your airplane is (insert magical thinking here) .......

..... THEN you would be worshiping that airplane.

The number of people that think that Sarah Palin would be a good President?

19 out of 100.

Are you really willing to bet the life of America on "The Spirit of St. Sarah", crossing that body of water with only 19 gallons of fuel.

If your answer is "Yes" because of (insert magical thinking here), then you are dealing with worship and not dealing with reality.
