Religious zealots

running for office and having a fucking good chance of "winning". This doesn't really seem to bother people; not like it should. Same shit, over and over, and it's fucking outrageous. Who cares? Who speaks out? THIS WOMAN IS RUNNING FOR OFFICE AS A MEMBER OF ONE OF THE ONLY TWO POLITICAL PARTIES IN THIS COUNTRY. Millions of people will vote for the ticket of which she is half. Millions will vote to put a person into executive office who rules by a religious book. Millions. And the rest, what will they do? Vote for someone else? What the fuck happened that people like this stand as major representatives for the people of this country? Is this who we are? How is this happening?

"'The churches that Sarah has attended all believe in a literal translation of the Bible,' Kincaid said. 'Her principal ethical and moral beliefs stem from this.' Prayer, and belief in its power, is another constant theme, Kincaid said, in what she has witnessed in Palin. 'Her beliefs are firm in the power of prayer - let's put it that way,' she said."

The more I see, the more I want out.
