Senator McCain has found himself pure political gold in Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is an accomplished speaker!
Who would be a better Vice Presidential candidate for Republicans than Sarah Palin? I ask with all sincerity.
This candidate supports her president, her future boss with a loyalty that has been lacking in previous administrations.
For the democratic party to complain about the “old boy network” in Washington D.C., and then, in the next breath complain about the supposed inexperience of the VP candidate, seems rather hypocritical.
Why am I for John McCain?
1. He had the outright political balls to pick a VP candidate that was who he wanted. Period!
2. He served his country as a soldier for decades, including spending five years in a North Vietnamese prison camp, and never betrayed his comrades.
3. John McCain has a proven dedication to his country and what is in the best interest of it’s citizens.
4. The senator from Arizona has years and years of experience working to solve America’s challenges, including working closely with those across the aisle in congress, including Hilary Clinton .
5. McCain has an energy policy that is practical and includes the need to free ourselves from our dependence on foreign oil, right now, solving numerous geopolitical challenges that have plagued our nation for decades. McCain’s energy policy is practical, solving the immediate threat to our national security from that dependence, as well as developing alternative fuels and renewable energy for the future.
6. John McCain understands the struggle with extremists and terrorists. The threat to America’s safety and our future from extremists and fundamentalists throughout the world is not a new problem. The next president understands this threat and is prepare to do what is necessary to ensure the safety and security of Americans.
There are many more reasons I support the Republican candidate for president and his VP choice, but these would be the top six reasons for my choice.
Barack Obama, while a very likeable fellow, does not have the experience running anything. Change? Change is wonderful. But what are we changing? I watched the Democratic convention and I still don’t quite have that answer.
End the war? That’s not likely to happen for years, even during an Obama presidency. And, why would you want to end the job before it’s done? This job needs to be done. I want to be safe! I want my family to be safe. I think we need to protect ourselves from people who hate us only because we like to listen to rock and roll music and say what we think without having to worry about it.
We have ideas that the whole world should be free. We believe in the rights of each individual to do as he or she pleases as long as it does not threaten the common good, public safety, and so on.
Republicans want government out of our lives and our business. For several years, long before the contract with America in 1984, the conservative platform was built around the idea that government has a limited role, including national security and helping the truly needy. Thats all. Otherwise, the government doesn’t really have much we need them to do.
When did the political parties start inheriting the parts of the others platforms that seem to appeal to the middle? It really seems like Democrats and Republicans are so much the same, supporting whatever side of the issue seemed popular at the time.
I think that happened during the Clinton years, when whatever way the wind seemed to be blowing at the time was what the administration supported. On the other hand, Clinton was as good at reaching out to Republicans to get the job done as Reagan was and I think John McCain and Sarah Palin will be in working with those in the other party.
The bottom line is this. The presidency of the United States of America is a job. I want to hire the most qualified, experienced, proven candidate that I have to choose from.
The bookmakers in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, a few days ago anyway, have Barack Obama as a heavy favorite to win the general election on November 4th, 2008.
But, my money’s on John McCain and Sarah Palin!
Sarah, please answer these questions …
What kind of budget-cutter makes a show of getting rid of the state plane, then turns around and bills taxpayers for the travel of her husband and kids between Juneau and Wasilla and sticks the state with a per-diem tab to stay in her own home?
She
Why was Sarah for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against the Bridge to Nowhere, and why was she for earmarks before she was against them? And doesn’t all this make her just as big a flip-flopper as John Kerry?
What kind of fiscal conservative raises taxes and increases budgets in both her jobs as mayor and as governor?
When the phone rings at 3 a.m., will she call the Wasilla Assembly of God congregation and ask them to pray on a response, as she asked them to pray for a natural gas pipeline?
Does she really think Adam, Eve, Satan and the dinosaurs mingled on the earth 5,000 years ago?
Why put out a press release about her teenage daughter’s pregnancy and then spend the next few days attacking the press for covering that press release?
As Troopergate unfolds here an inquiry into whether Palin inappropriately fired the commissioner of public safety for refusing to fire her ex-brother-in-law it raises this question: Who else is on her enemies list and what might she do with the F.B.I.?
Does she want a federal ban on trans fat in restaurants and a ban on abortion and Harry Potter? And which books exactly would have landed on the literature bonfire if she had had her way with that Wasilla librarian?
Just how is it that Fannie and Freddie have cost taxpayers money (since they haven’t yet)?
Does she talk in tongues or just eat caribou tongues?
What does she have against polar bears?
Look for Sarah to mop the floor with Joe. I keep hearing how she lacks foreign policy experience. Did any president who was a governor before their election have foreign policy experience? You know, like Clinton, Carter…..) Probably less than Palin who has worked with the Canadians and Iceland while keeping an eye on the horizon to her west.
My only wish is that Sarah had responed to Katie Couric’s question about her news sources thusly: “Well Katie, like any Americans, I used to watch the CBS Evening News.”
Hillarious 😉 – but, you have to admit she has had a couple of pretty poor showings recently. I’ll be watching tonight for sure…
Here is a funny video of a spoof on the debate

McCain is too hawkish and even if you love war, let’s face it, we can’t afford it anymore.
