Obviously, the Sermon on the Mount is not one of the main topics of discussion in certain church in Wasilla:
“So I’m looking around for somebody to pray with, I just need maybe a little help, maybe a little extra,” said Palin. “And the McCain campaign, love ’em, you know, they’re a lot of people around me, but nobody I could find that I wanted to hold hands with and pray.”
Suffice it to say more than a few McCain staffers are just a tad bit upset.
“It’s about us people who were on the plane, who showed extreme loyalty to Palin, continually getting thrown under the bus or slapped in the face by her comments, whether she means it or not,” the staffer said, adding that this is the kind of thing that would “cause you to question not only your loyalty but her judgment as a leader.”
A gaffe you say? Not on your life-little Miss Maligned knew exactly what she was doing. She was not speaking to your average Joe or Jane-you know the kind of people who actually recognize that a team is team, and you may not like all your teammates-but they are still your teammates. And sharing a prayer together might be a good way to get everybody focused on one goal.
Sarah obviously never heard about that little piece of wisdom.
Her remarks were not targeted at reasonable people-the folks who live in the real world of compromises and gray areas. Oh no-she’s working on the audience that lives within the bubble.
Let me translate it into Sarahspeak for you:
” Life was so tough for me out on the campaign trail working with those godless, Washington trained flunkies trusted by that pseudo Christian and Republican John McCain. If only they had all listened to me-and let Sarah be Sarah-a Real Republican would be living at the Naval Observatory right now. “
The bible has a word for you Sarah……………..
Look up Pharisee, sometime. This is the kind of thinking you get when people only get their news here.
Watch the whole whinefest here.
Or don’t watch-just hear about how folksy she is on Fox tomorrow.
A formula speech is there every was one-she makes sure to touch all the right buttons. Especially try not to laugh when she said “she doesn’t care about politics and power and is an ordinary person.”
Yea.. Riiiiiiightttttttttt.
