God wants an oil pipeline? Huh. I wouldn't have guessed that.

Hey, if she's got a direct line to the almighty, maybe she can ask him why Congress passed No Child Left Behind but didn't fund it. Or, you know, at least make ANY comment on a national policy. I don't think she knows much about federal law except that we've got a war in Iraq going on.

She said a couple months ago that the "war in Iraq isn't that important", so yes, at least she knows there is a war there! LOL

I don't follow politics and I don't care for either candidate this time around but did McCain just not think when choosing her as VP?
