	Did Palin cause that? Let's research that a bit, eh?

	Also, where did those funds go? That makes a BIG difference.

	Want to add some substance to how a AoG church is a terrorist cult?  
Can you name one time they have participated in terrorist activity?  
Incidentally, AoG is the 3rd largest group of Christians in the world,  
behind the Catholics and Anglicans, I believe -- they aren't all that  
common here in the U.S., but they are huge in the southern hemisphere.

	It has been thoroughly discredited that she was a member of that  
party, Fred.

	And, let us not forget Obama supported the "Akaka  Bill" (S. 310,  
H.R. 505), which Sen. Akaka told NPR might lead to Hawaii's secession (http://www.opinionjournal.com/diary/?id=110008503 
).

	So, the Democratic presidential hopeful is tied with the GOP vice  
presidential hopeful... again.
