As for Dowd's column, she surely doesn't say anything worse than republican columnists or Fox news and Rovians say about Obama.Sylvia Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18259032453252447339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-85417895265019719742008-09-25T07:27:00.000-06:002008-09-25T07:27:00.000-06:00Well, we don't have much of an idea of what Sarah ...Well, we don't have much of an idea of <I>what</I> Sarah Palin believes until she is allowed to talk freely to the press...<BR/><BR/>Then, and only then, we might be able to make our own decisions as to "the truth of the matter."clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-76823828967924825762008-09-25T06:44:00.000-06:002008-09-25T06:44:00.000-06:00Not exactly!This is a shot at her purportedly bein...Not exactly!<BR/><BR/>This is a shot at her purportedly being a "creationist". <BR/><BR/>Now there are SOME who bear that label-- though I know of no statement by Palin about HER specific beliefs on this point-- who believe the earth is very young and that dinosaurs and man co-existed.
