As I noted elsewhere, "doctrine" is a broad term.

Think of it this way: Do you agree with the Mormon Doctrine? Naturally you would ask, "The Mormon doctrine of what"? Palin wanted precision in order to answer the question with precision. What's wrong with that? I mean what's the important thing here, whether she agrees with a specific Bush policy or whether she can adapt instantaneously to vague idioms promulgated by the media?

The libs want you to believe Palin was not familiar with Bush's policy whatsoever, but she is only ignorant of political vernacular hatched by the media over the years. And again, even a democrat on CNN had to admit ignorance with respect to this catch phrase.

"and her daughter a "slut".

How do you refer to the 17 year old class punchbowl?
Pregnant, 17, unmarried. What, she has to hit you over the head with her sack of quarters to make a believer our of you?

This, along with all the rap artists at MTV dissing her along with show hosts calling her a "bitch" and her daughter a "slut". The fact is, the most uneducated classes vote Obama, and the higher educated are more likely to vote McCain/Palin.


You know how to sound like you have your dander up! Not everyone who votes for Obama and Biden belongs to a sick "class of humans." I will not vote for McCain and Palin. I do not agree with their policies. I do not care about Palin's daughter. I don't care which party has the most educated boosters. I don't particularly care how media personalities behave. Both sides have their slimy-behaving people.

Simply because a 17 year old girl is pregnant and unmarried does not make her a slut. That is a very ugly, uncalled for term to refer to a child as.

Why don't you try adhereing to Obama's statement regarding the fact that children in politics should be left alone.

I made my point. I am here to discuss Mormonism, not politics. I've repeatedly said this, especially to Droopy, and I am trying to be consistent on it.

Fair enough Trev, I just never understood a decent argument for voting for Obama. It seems most of the Obama supporters don't really support Obama so much as they think they are voting against Bush in some weird way.

Well, I agreed with you right up to this point.

I would think most people who support Obama are democrats. Isn't being a democrat a good enough reason to vote for a democrat?

I'm voting for Obama because I really like him. I think he would be a good president and Biden would be an even better vice president, and together they would do wonders for the economy and the bad image of Americans abroad.
