Gov. Sarah Palin's church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer."You'll be encouraged by the power of God's love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality," according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed for about six years.
Palin's conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain's candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.
Focus on the Family, a national Christian fundamentalist organization, is conducting the "Love Won Out" Conference in Anchorage, about 30 miles from Wasilla.

She's not on the ticket to capture the middle. That is McCain's job. She on the ticket to fire up the base and she is doing that.
Issues like this and traditional marriage play well in small towns where McCain is trying to increase turn as Bush did in 2004.

Uh oh. If this article gets out I’m afraid we might actually lose the vote in san francisco. some democrats might not even vote for her now.
“This is the perfect opportunity to bring out the Rev. Wright videos again.”
Yep. If there’s a cow patty in the field, they’ll be sure to step in it. [As Rush Limbaugh would say.]
What an excellent program - just from a public health point of view if no other.
Arthur you idiot. Don’t talk about things like cow patties on a thread like this. You just don’t, you don’t ... just don’t go there.
I wonder when the last time these “reporters” set foot inside a Christian church? They have no idea that the vast majority of Christian churches do not approve of homosexual marriage or the homosexual lifestyle because God doesn’t. Palin okayed domestic partner benefits because she didn’t want to get in a constitutional fight. She is not some wild-eyed “fundie” seeking to take over the world. These people make me furious.
Converting them into what? Hood ornaments?
Excellent point.
pro choice?
Oh wait
Not on sexual practice.
Good point. In a book, Unprotected, it lays out how the rectum has a much more thin defense than our reproductive organs. One cell deep as opposed to seven, if I recall. A virus has a lot of fun if, well ....
The problem for them, of course, is that what's good for the goose, is not good for the gander. At least in their world, that is.
The lunatic left wants government subsidized access to your children wherein they can convert them to the wonders of the dysfuntional homosexual world. But, any attempts to do the reverse cannot be allowed.
Does that mean Republican drunks won't vote McCain/Palin?
No.
And Barack’s church said what?
That is one heck of an old picture, I delivered concrete to the Burchell School that sits in front of this church many years ago.
Its so funny the MSM is relying on Google to stock their ammo against Sarah.
I agree. I just think the media is well aware baracks church and dont want to have to revisit it!
I would like the reporters to explain how anyone can “convert” anyone else (short perhaps of intensive sessions using hypnosis and drugs).
The proper title is that they show The Way of repentence, to those who want it.
Where’s the freedom?
