    "Since she was named as John McCain's running mate, Palin's deep faith and support for traditional moral values have rallied conservative voters who initially appeared reluctant to back his campaign."

    After reading this story it's become evident that the "extreme right wing" would like to co-mingle religion with government office.

    I thought this violated the "separation of church and state." Talking about values differs from actually going to events and using them for public funding.

    The reason we separate govenment office from personal religion is simple: you are free to believe what you want, but should not force your beliefs on others.

      If anyone had bothered to research this post they'd have found her meetings were secular in nature to fulfill her duties as governor and explore faith based initiatives. I thought it amusing that the author began by saying she JUST discovered this when it's been out there for a long time and has been investigated by the good ol' boys she ran out of office. This is another weak attempt to try to ruin her reputation, a typical ploy by the leftists. God, help us, if she's elected we'll go through 4 more years of partisan back biting.

        "faith based initiatives"

        I characterize them as delusional based initiatives. If she wants to throw money at the boogey man, it should be her own money.

          Frankly the kind of totalitarian "religion" that Palin is associated with is a stellar example of why we should keep religions out of politics, including "faith-based-initiatives".

          'Arming' for Armageddon - Militant Joel's Army Followers Seek Theocracy

          Joel's Army believers are hard-core Christian dominionists, meaning they believe that America, along with the rest of the world, should be governed by conservative Christians and a conservative Christian interpretation of biblical law. There is no room in their doctrine for democracy or pluralism.

          PBS has an online poll posted asking if Sarah Palin i qualified. Apparently the right wing knew about this in advance and are flooding the voting with YES votes. The poll will be reported on PBS and picked up by
          mainstream media. It can influence undecided voters
          in swing states.
          Please do two things -- takes 20 seconds.
          1) Click on link and vote yourself
          Here's the link: http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html
          2) Then send this to every single Obama-Biden voter
          you know, and urge them to vote and pass it on.
          The LAST thing we need is PBS saying their viewers
          think Sarah Palin is qualified.
