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!!!!

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?

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.

RE: What Was It….

….some Wag said, around 2000 years ago?

A house divided against itself cannot stand. — The Christ

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.
