Sarah Palin To Be Scratched Before the Race: My Melbourne Cup tip
September 17, 2008
Our international readers may not know this but on the same day as the Americans will be casting their vote for President, Australians will be gambling on a multi-million dollar race. Those in the state of Victoria will have a public holiday for a 3 minute event. Being Australian on Melbourne Cup day almost eradicates any authority I may have to discuss world politics.
November 4 2008 is all about hats and gambling and champagne. The punters probably have done more study than the voters, but it’s all about winning and money.
Most racehorses have a longer resume than Sarah Palin but that’s not the problem.
It’s not that she’s an unknown quantity. The scary thing is we know EXACTLY what she is all about.
This article (thanks Paully) outlines the proof that Sarah Palin is a fundamentalist Christian with a biblical world view. She has never shown anything else. We don’t really need proof. It’s all right there in the puddin’.
As history has shown us, high up fundamentalists in positions of power didn’t get there by the grace of God. They got there using Assemblies of God marketing techniques, and Pentecostal beliefs.
They are generally corrupt, or have been involved in some corruption that is big enough to be unveiled. You just don’t get there without it and she’s already up for questioning in TrooperGate.
Can she make it to the Cup? Will the necessarily scandalous AoG background prevent her from ever getting there? Maybe when it all comes out, Betty Bowers, America’s best Christian could take over.

Got something to say?
I certainly hope she’s off to the glue factory
oh em gee, you like me, you really like me!
It was reported that a female journalist at the Age newspaper suggested that Sarah Palin was ‘as thick as a brick’.
I think you would agree with me that this is unlikely to be the case. I see her as an intelligent woman, who like so many of we who were raised in charismania just hasn’t had the opportunity to broaden her knowledge of the world, and hence the knowledge of herself. I guess if I had been a pentecostal gal and had half a dozen ankle-biters starting in my late teens, then I too would have had my liberation from fundamentalist religion delayed significantly.
Can you imagine if she ever decided to attend a secular university, and/or travel and read broadly? Exposed to an education in critical thinking we might then have ‘Sarah the agent for positive change’. We can only hope. On the other hand she might be offered a post-election job as a multi-millionaire talk show host; that’s my bet. Half her luck!
However, at present she is still locked into her narrow world of pentecostalist clap trap and as such she will likely prove to be a little more that dangerous as a potential candidate for President of the United States should John McCain win the election and depart this world earlier than later!
All the best in your work Tanya. I enjoyed the honest account of yourself in your book and hope you don’t mind the fact that I have recommended your work on more than one occasion at my web site. I also passed it onto my son who I believe will benefit from its protective warnings about blindly accepting the claims of religious fundamentalists of all types.
