Christian Coalition: We love Palin and the GOP’s most pro-life platform yet
The Christian Coalition has issued a statement praising Palin:
Christian Coalition of America commends Senator John McCain for his selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, a pro-life conservative mother of 5 children including a Downs Syndrome baby born during April. Liberal and pro-life columnist Nat Hentoff said about Governor Palin in his column on May 26th: "I offer my unsolicited suggestion for (McCain's) vice president: the first woman – and youngest – governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, who is an unstereotypical and effective Republican."Governor Palin said about her husband's and her feelings about their newest child: "We've both been very vocal about being pro-life. We understand that every innocent life has wonderful potential." She served notice to her Alaskan constituents after the birth of Trig Paxson Van Palin that being the mother of a child of special needs would not hinder her professional commitments: "It's a sign of the times to be able to do this. There is no reason to believe a woman can't do it with a growing family. My baby will not be at all or in any sense neglected." And she added, "I will not shirk my duties."
Roberta Combs, President of the Christian Coalition of America said: "Governor Sarah Palin is a bold choice for Vice President who is a courageous advocate for unborn children. In addition, she is a conservative who is a reformer not afraid to shake up the establishment. I congratulate Senator McCain for his outstanding selection for his vice presidential running mate."
In a separate statement, the Christian Coalition proudly declared that this year's proposed GOP platform contains "the strongest pro-life language ever in the history of the party."

On Palin, I never heard of her until today but I do amire her views on abortion and homosexuality. It is very refreshing! I regret that I will still probably vote for Obama because of his view on Iraq. I just do not like his liberal views on social issues.
Let’s face it. No matter who gets elected we are called to pray for them. It’s time for us to stop judging and start humbling ourself before the LORD. This country is in desperate need of revival. We must pray with thanksgiving that our God hears us when we cry out to him.
Kathy: Correct me if I am wrong, but don’t Mr. and Mrs. Obama have two little daughters who are in their early teens? What about them?
If there is a thing that really pi*es me off is this double standard by the liberals and media. Obama is apparently loaded with all kind of experiences, Hillary is representing same old divisive politics, Biden has suddenly become a change (= reformer).... Remarkable.
The tragedy of abortion will never be voiced by the innocent. Vote for those that would protect those with no voice.
lucifer,
funny that the Obama mentor (ratical/activist)
who Mrs. Obama quoted ,in her speech at the weido convention----, ON WORDS that came from his book--
AND on the inside cover dedicated his book to LUCIFER----
JUST WORDS EH??
walks and quacks like a Duck--- must be a duck!
so that places you on the dark side!---
come into the light--- try Jesus!
I wanted to add my opinion about the Alaska governor, Sarah Palin.
My husband and I went to Alaska last fall. All we heard from the people of Alaska was how great the governor was. This was coming from all of the younger generation. They praised her for all the wasted spending that was eliminated from the state and how the school system was NOW going great, how she had brought Alaska together and helped the state as much. Really , we got tired of hearing it. But now I understand what a addition she was to the state. I am proud that McCain chose her and I know that they will complement each other. She can care for her family and do the job. I am sure she has help and that is alright if the family agrees on it. Lets get behind them and help them win the election.
To Frederik:
We couldn’t say it any better!! Everyone loves to point fingers without looking at themselves. Obama has limited experience in Washington, but I’d rather have a VP with limited experience than a President with limited experience. All Obama does is talk. (change, change, change) I haven’t seen him change anything. If we want to talk about change, Palin has changed Alaska more in her limited experience than Obama has changed Washington. I don’t care how much or little experience you have. Show me how you’ve made a difference. I admit that Obama can change things, after all he just recently changed to a new pastor.
pam,
obama view on Irag???
as a vietnam veteran, i’ve seen war. it stinks!
but is also necessary.
Obama is wrong! there are very bad people out there wanting to kill us-- and our American way of life.
Pam while you are safe at home tonight/or in bed----remember our Liberty-Freedom-and Search for Happiness comes to us with a great price. ---you will find out that Obamas VIEW is dark and Hedious

To Christian,
Read the book of Jeremiah...killing babies is on top of God’s list of hated things...and you are a pastor?
