Sarah Palin got big applause when she dismissed Obama's community organizing while saying at least as mayor she had executive experience. Here's a breakdown (much too long and thorough for me to repeat) of how a South Chicago community organizer compares against mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. This commentary ends by saying whoever wins America will get the prez. and veep we deserve.
The Center for Community Change and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now had a few things to say about Palin's comparison.
Bush may talk like a Fundie, but he'll only act like one (bleat about a marriage protection amendment) when politics says he has to. The same seems to be true of McCain. In contrast, and much to the delight of Fundies, there is growing evidence that Palin not only talks like a Fundie, she walks like one too. If she becomes prez (McCain is 72 and has had cancer), she'll put the force of conviction into demands for Fundie friendly legislation and judges.
She has described oil pipelines in Alaska as "God's will." She describes the war in Iraq as "a task that is from God." She tried censoring books in the Wasilla library. She gets high ratings for pro-life and creationism views. And, from the beliefs of her church and views she has stated, one wonders if she would use her power as commander in chief to do what she could to usher in the End Times as described in Revelations, claiming it a plan from God (similar to the Apocalypse Directive I recently wrote about) and that she's doing you a favor. Not surprisingly, the McCain campaign is trying to cover up her church ties and Palen has refused to identify where her church membership is now.
