It's Palin, and a question for LDS
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/30/us...prod=permalink
How can LDS support McCain now? Palin has a four month old child with Down's Syndrome and five children. Isn't this an affront to your faith? See Ms. Beck's speach.

How odd. SU, having abandoned the faith of this fathers, still views everything through an LDS prizm. Fascinating.
Can't we just get along?

Is this a secular humanist board? I just think that if you are linear and true to your principles this has got to be a total mind blast for you. Your world is upside down, if you are a man of principle.

It's an insoluble conflict. What better example could there be than this that much of what you hear from the pulpit is unrnealistic, atavistic, illogical, narrow and extreme. Sister Beck is erased. I LOVE AMERICA!

She also has a son in the Army. She is married to a Laminite (ha ha). She was born in Idaho. She sounds more Mormon than Mitt.

side note: This also means that both McCain and Palin have sons on active duty in the military.
