I’d love to laugh at it.

Yep me too, but it is hardly a laughing matter. Time was when candidates were picked from smokey back rooms, they just moved the process out in the open a little bit to give the rubes the illusion that they actually had a say in the matter. Seems it worked on you.

Palin looked to have a chance to break that tradition and Christians hoped that Palin would feel lead of God to challenge the corruption but she did not.

Yes we are disappointed because we see the Nation now rapidly falling down the rat hole of history, having squandered the gift God gave us, choosing to become a nation of scoffers. If you look in the Bible, you will find a very accurate description of just who we have become.

Well as a conservative, I am about personal responsibility. You want to blame some mysterious forces, but I would need you to show me some fraud or other that removes the blame from where it lies - with the voters who elect (or nominate) these idiots.

If you're telling me that there's some secret system that selects the GOP nominee, show me what it is. As far as I know, the GOP nominee is the person in the primaries who garners the most votes among primary voters.

I've asked you a couple times to tell me how you think the GOP nominee is selected, but you've been unable to so far.

I know the primaries are influenced by smokey back rooms and people with unseemly agendas and alot of money, but in the end, the American people pull the levers that control the power. If they're allowing themselves to be manipulated by those with evil agendas, the fault lies with themselves.

When you can tell everyone how God works - get back to us. In the meantime, don't say she did not. God knows what will happen tomorrow and may not have wanted Sarah apart of it - face it, you or anyone just doesn't know!
