To me the most important thing is to find out the truth. For most who know my name “me”, you probably think I’m liberal because I’ve been defending Barack. But I’m not liberal. I used to be conservative. Voted for Bush both times, but after the mess he put the country in and the harm he has done to the country I am now that middle level (conservative on some issues, liberal on others).
When I first heard about JM’s pick I thought “truly no, he can’t be serious”. For whatever reasons I thought before, my viewpoints have changed because I’ve read a lot of different articles written by conservatives and liberals.
While I believe John McCain is out for John McCain and his rich friends and big government, and while I believe Obama is for the people and wants to give us hope for a better future (still trying to figure out how he will pay for everything). I do believe that Sarah Palin is probably equal to Barack when it comes to inspiring people to have hope for our future, and she has proven it as governor of Alaska.
Why do I believe this…because she is not tied into the DC. I also read that she was not McCain’s choice. He was getting ready to choose Lieberman, when he received the call “telling” him he would be picking Sarah Palin. That tells me the most important thing I needed to know…that McCain is not calling the shots here and making the decisions. I truly do not trust his judgment on most of the issues he has voted for, and things he is saying, and for me it’s very important to know that someone over him is running the show and telling him what he will be doing. I cannot trust him to make important decisions.
While I do think Barack is a good candidate. I believe he is a sincere person. I like the work he’s done to help people in the community. He’s served his time in the senate and has voted right on most of the issues. He’s an excellent speaker and his speeches are moving and inspiring, but I just like Sarah Palin better. I’m reading about her record as governor. I’m not going to go into it (too lengthy), but if you look in Wikipedia you can read about her. Her work as chairperson of Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission is worth reading. She is pro-environment and has a strong understanding of Energy & Environment. But there is more about her history that I’m liking the more I read.
Another article I read stated (I’ll try to keep this short only with the highlights).
Sarah Palin is a legend in fighting corporate and government corruption. This lady will not back down for special interests. She even battled and won against Big Oil trying to come in and carve up Alaska. She has served on the school board, as a mayor, and now as Governor of the single largest, most energy rich state of the union.
She is NOT a DC insider as are McCain, Obama and Biden. This lady does not like government corruption, will not tolerate it, and is one tough cookie.
She is a devoted environmentalist and conservationist...and a pragmatist to the core. It will not take her long to figure out how corrupt DC is and take aim at many of the snakes there.
Palin is also from a modest background...great credentials in these 'blue blood' times of graft and gangsterism. Her father was a school teacher and her mother the secretary at that school. She is not part of the elitist clique and cabal of DC and has already proven her courage in standing up to them.
She is an avid hunter, loves fishing, and is a no-nonsense adult. I guarantee that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are changing diapers frequently right now because the Vice President of the United States is also the President of the U.S. Senate. Sarah Palin will put up with Zero DC Bullsh!t from the House and Senate.
In announcing her, McCain even humbled himself and said in a self-effacing way that Sarah Palin is exactly the type of leadership needed in DC right now to fix what is wrong in America. McCain was very clear that DC is corrupt, she is not.
Sarah Palin just changed the entire political landscape not only of the Presidential campaign but of the general state of America. Assuming voters look past McNutter and embrace Palin with their votes - and make no mistake, she would be THE final reason McKook would win - America may actually find itself on the doorstep of REAL 'change' and hope...for the first time in many decades. If elected, McCain - the man who called for the bombing of Iran and 颼 years of war' may find the American public empowering Palin to the extent he will go more placidly into his twilight than had he done with either Zionist Cantor or Liebermann biting at his @ss.
The entire Iraq and Afghanistan lunacy is going to have to stop. Meanwhile, the real business of America will be settled over on Capitol Hill and having Sarah Palin there could, finally, start the process of turning the US around.
New game now, and what Sarah Palin represents is the best choice America has to get headed back in the right direction.
The new McCain-Palin motto was rolled out today 'Country First.' Works for me.
And, lest we forget, we may end up being one heartbeat away from our first woman President...a woman who will command the true respect of the American people...and the world. A kind of respect Mrs. Clinton could only dream about.
This is my note (not in the article) – Do I think McCain would be a good president – NO! Absolutely not! But do I think Palin would be a good president. In a heart beat! Therefore my vote is going for Palin (JM just happens to be on the ticket with her). |
