    They didn’t listen to Him then and look what happened about 35 years later. Looks to me like their setting themselves up for another fall.

    Regardless of the differences you may find with a candidate, you have to vote for the policies that are most like those things you believe in. The laws and protections that will give the best chance to the entire country, to thrive and regain the respect we had during the Reagan years. I believe experience and open mindedness to a knew way of “politics as usual” shines through the eyes of Sarah Palin. Vote your heart and for the country.

    Stupid stupid stupid politically correct liberal Democrat Jews protecting Hillary’s feelings.
    Go Sarah – a REAL supporter of Israel!

    Let’s not forget Hillary kissing Suha Arafat in NYC. Now Suha lives in Europe with the stolen money her terrorist husband plundered from his own people for 10 years or so. Perhaps Hillary wants to give Ahmadinejad a big kiss too?

    Article Comments (25) Sarah Palin Disinvited From Anti-Iran Rally After Hillary Clinton Backs Out
    Posted September 19, 2008
    By Richard Sisk
    Daily News Washington Bureau

    The hockey mom has gotten the hook, and John McCain is miffed.

    McCain jumped in to defend Sarah Palin, who was disinvited Thursday to an anti-Iran rally outside UN headquarters next week, two days after Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) dropped out in a fit of pique over her presence.

    “Gov. Palin was pleased to accept an invitation to address this rally and show her resolve on this grave national security issue,” McCain said in a statement, but “regrettably that invitation has since been withdrawn under pressure from Democratic partisans.”

    Jewish groups sponsoring the rally in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza on Monday said Palin was knocked off the speakers’ list to keep the event nonpartisan, not to placate Clinton.

    “In order to keep the focus on Iranian threats and to ensure that this critical message not be obscured, the organizers of the rally have decided not to have any American political personalities appear,” the Stop Iran Now coalition said in a statement.

    Clinton was angered when her staff learned from reporters, and not the rally’s sponsors, that the pro-Israel groups staging the event had invited Palin and the Alaska governor had accepted.

    Clinton, who spoke at an Israel Bonds dinner in Manhattan Thursday night, declined to address reporters who asked about the rally.

    Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn), who is undecided between McCain and Barack Obama, said Palin’s invitation should not have been yanked.

    “It’s pathetic,” Hikind said.

    Palin no longer invited
    Gov Palin should be very happy not to be invited any longer. She should remember what Obama said, “Iran is just a tiny country and poses no threat to the US or any other country”. How quickly the Jewish people forget!! The next holocaust will be quite different if the Dems are in office. US will not be there to help.

    The difference between OSAMA and OBAMA is the BS!!!!
