I do agree with him on one point and I don’t care if I get flamed about it.

Is she a wacky creationist in the extreme that she believes the earth is only 5,000 years old? If she does, I don’t want her to have the nuclear codes either.

I’ll still vote McCain, but I won’t like it.

And how exactly does a particular, even if strange, idea about creation or the age of the Earth have any bearing on suitability to have access to the nuclear codes? Are we really supposed to believe that she will be sitting there with the button and say: "Well, since the dinosaurs were alive only four thousand years ago, I think I will blow up Russia!" Somehow I just don't think so.

Now, of course that is to leave untouched that I have never seen a bit of evidence that Sarah Palin actually thinks these things. What this sounds to me like is a Hollywood moron just deciding, in typical bigoted fashion, that a church-going Christian must think that. Of course, it also leaves unspoken the admission that these people know Obama is a fraudulent Christian since, even after going on and on about his deep, personal faith, nobody ever seems to assume that he holds any odd, by secular standards of course, beliefs. Funny how that works.
