Palin informs us this week that John McCain’s presidential campaign staff was unworthy of being prayed with. Considering Jesus reached out to even the harlots, that’s quite a charge from Palin. It’s hard to come up with a better example of what’s wrong with the Republican party today. Sarah Palin, and the rest of the conservative wing that runs the Republican party, think they literally speak for God, judging who is and isn’t worthy of the Lord. It’s pretty sickening that this deluded woman had a chance at running our country.

Later in the speech, she told a story about praying for strength before last October’s Vice Presidential debate with Joe Biden in St. Louis.

“So I’m looking around for somebody to pray with, I just need maybe a little help, maybe a little extra,” she said. “And the McCain campaign, love ’em, you know, they’re a lot of people around me, but nobody I could find that I wanted to hold hands with and pray.” As the crowd laughed, Palin grinned and said she meant no disrespect to the McCain campaign. She said she ultimately prayed with her daughter Piper.
