I'm pretty sure it wasn't abstinence that failed. Abstinence works 100% of the time.
As far as speaking of God daily, so do untold millions of Americans. You will never scare anyone with that line beyond the scaredy-cats here and in similar venues.
And what is with bringing her speech writer up continually (I don't mean you, personally, I see it in each and every article written about her)? Those in the know know that all politicians use speechwriters, each and every one of them, each and every time they speak. Lincoln may well have been the last president to write his own speeches.
So far, I am not shivering in my boots.

But Palin's daughter failed (refused?) to abstain, didn't she? Lots of teenagers do, you know. Bristol Palin is Exhibit A.
And I think it's hysterically hypocritical of you to tag anyone as being "a scaredy-cat" for being unnerved by untold millions of people talking daily to a god who isn't there. Aren't you unnerved by the untold millions of Muslims speaking to their god, in whom
you do not believe? Isn't the fact that
they take their beliefs and prophecies so seriously the reason why Sarah Palin wants to wipe the extremists among them from the face of the earth?
If these Evangelicals should finally get their way, don't think you're going to be among their bestest pals. They don't like you Roman Catholics anymore than they like any outsiders. You guys are not even
real Christians, as far as they are concerned. You should know this. You were a part of that pack for a while. Of course, you could always switch teams again.
And the point about bringing up Palin's speechwriters is to remind folks that, for all her alleged gifts as a public speaker, Palin's public blather is scripted, and scripted by a man who has done copious work for the administration both Palin and McCain are trying to run away from whenever it's convenient.
Anyway, when we got a chance to see Palin speak extemporaneously-- though coached to the hilt-- it was clear that she wasn't nearly as informed on foreign policy as she needs to be.
Of course
you're not shivering in your boots. You think you've died and gone to heaven. Don't know when the rude awakening will hit ya, but if you're alive in this realm for it, it oughta be a doozy.
