That's not what she said. She said she trusted God to do the right thing for America on election day. Stop being a fake American. TBird, perhaps you only read the first graph. The article closed with this: She also thanked her supporters — including Dobson, who said he and his wife were asking “for God’s intervention” on election day — for their prayers of support.
“It is that intercession that is so needed,” she said. “And so greatly appreciated. And I can feel it too, Dr. Dobson. I can feel the power of prayer, and that strength that is provided through our prayer warriors across this nation. And I so appreciate it.”
Reading the article it is quite clear she is assuming that God will intercede on behalf of the McCain/Palin ticket because of all the prayers from Dobson and his followers. If, on NOV. 5th, Obama/Biden are winners, and she comes out and says "God did the right thing for America", I will gladly retract this comment.

The national party has pulled its funding for Bachmann and will apparently allocate it to other candidates. She had been ahead in the polls before she channeled McCarthy.

Guess you feel free to read whatever you think into Sarah's comments about God. What she actually said was she asked for divine intervention in the election which is what Christians usually pray for: that God's will will be done. And, leave it up to God to determine His will.

I always say if you want a better America you can pray or vote. Praying won't get you anywhere. Voting won't get you anywhere either but maybe you can leave work a little early.

There is no argument: residents of Northern Virginia are not real Virginian, they are immigrants from the elite east (or west) coast. It's easy to identify these non-Virginian by the athletic jerseys they wear (Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, 49ers, Giants, Patriots, etc.). They should all be burned at the stake the day before the election with John Madden offering commentary. A. John Madden should draw a diagram oh how a proper stake-burning should go, Al Michaels should also quietly agree. B. What about Southerners (or Midwesterners?, idk where Oklahoma is located anymore) that still vote Dem and maintain residency in VA? Is an Oklahoma State jersey (Barry Sanders throw-back) as bad as the aforementioned jerseys?

The Obama campaign is anti-American and I can prove it.
Whenever I journey into the hinterlands of Arlington there's always Obama people everywhere saying "are you planning to vote for Obama?".
To make them go away I usually tell them I'm Canadian but sometimes they say "yeah, but are you planning to vote for Obama?" These people would let the Snow Mexicans vote in our elections! There is nothing more Un-American than treating Canada as an equal

In a real twist of irony, Joe McCain (John McCain's brother) called 911 in Alexandria- a government resource of what Joe previously called the "Communist" part of Virginia... But it gets better! Why did Joe need to use this "Communist"/"Socialist" resource? He was stuck in traffic and wanted to know what was going on with the Wilson bridge. When the 911 operator told Joe that 911 is for emergencies only, Joe says to the operator: "%&**$ you" Here's the clip: www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/10/24/mccain.brother.911.call.wjlaMake sure you also stay tuned to hear Joe McCain's voicemail message! This guy may be a worse liability than Clinton's brother was.
