-> Ms. Palin: "If it was good enough for the Founding Fathers, it's good
-> enough for me."
->
-> She seems to think that the pledge, and that phrase, was familiar to
-> the founders.

The question was about the phrase "under God."

Question: "Are you offended by the car in your garage?"

Answer: "If it was good enough for the guy I stole it from, it is good
enough for me."

Now, when YOU read that hypothetical answer, do you think the word "it"
refers to the GARAGE?  Or to the CAR?

By the way, if she had been using "it" to refer to the pledge, her
answer would have ended with "I'll fight in defense of IT."

If you don't like her, just say so.  Don't feel obligated to do violence
to the English language to try to justify your opinion.
