<blockquote><p>The PALIBAN!</p>
<p>Clear Vision For A Pure America<br />
The Paliban is a grassroots organization inspired by the principles of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and the Evangelical and Christian Reconstruction movements.</p></blockquote>
<p>So the wife spent some time trying to convince me this site was a joke.  And it is.</p>
<p>But it took her a LOT of examples before she found something that didn&#8217;t sound completely reasonable fro the nutjob perspective (specifically, it was a few remarks in the sex toys article).</p>
<p>The fact is that when you have a pope comparing gays to the destruction of the rainforest, when you have laws that let doctors and pharmacists impose their own morality on patients, when you have people who think that we should be encouraging the wars in the middle east so that the rapture will come all the sooner, exactly what counts as too insane?  What becomes surprising?</p>
<p>We live with teh crazy.</p>

</a> Obama is up by, say, 20% (226 to 189).</p>
<p>However, the general polls show things much closer with Obama at 49% and McCain at 44%.</p>
