Here is a George Bushesque answer by Sarah Palin to a questionnaire from Eagle Forum Alaska for the 2006 Alaskan gubernatorial candidates (note that SP=Sarah Palin):
11. Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
JB: No.
SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.
FM: No Response
MH: No Response
GH: No Response
TK: No Response
EC: No Response
BL: No Response
EB: No Response
DD: No Response
DW: No Response
Of course, as is pointed out at ThinkProgress:
"....the words “Under God” didn’t appear in the Pledge of Allegiance until 1954; the founding fathers had nothing to do with them. The Pledge itself, in fact, wasn’t even written until 1892."
Oh goodie! Maybe she did go to Yale and Harvard Business School! Her answer certainly has the ring of some president or something who did.
There are also some other interesting answers here. Such as this:
1. Complete the sentence by checking the applicable phrases (you can check more than one).
Abortion should be:
- Banned throughout entire pregnancy.
- Legal to save the life of the mother.
- Legal in case of rape and incest.
- Legal if the baby is handicapped.
- Legal if the baby has a genetic defect.
- Legal in the first trimester.
- Legal in the second trimester.
- Legal in the third trimester.
- Other:__________________
JB: Banned throughout entire pregnancy.
Legal to save the life of the mother.
SP: I am pro-life. With the exception of a doctor’s determination that the mother’s life would end if the pregnancy continued. I believe that no matter what mistakes we make as a society, we cannot condone ending an innocent’s life.

Aside from what should be my obvious disagreement on her position, it is apparent she could not even follow simple instructions by selecting from the list, which opponent John Binkley (JB) was capable of doing.
Of course, her running mate has a habit of not answering in a straightforward manner as well, "Well, Jay, in all seriousness now, I spent five and a half years without a house, or a bed............"
They may be made for each other.
