I am absolutely sold, with very limited reservations, on Sarah Palin as McCain’s running-mate. I first heard about her late last year and have been hoping she’d get the nod. I told my wife weeks ago and again this last weekend that McCain really needs to go with Palin. The timing of this and the historic nature of the move are all a bonus.
The MSNmessiah, B.O., was ripped out of the headlines this morning. His predictable, stale acceptance speech in Mile High got hardly any play online and in the news today as McCain’s announcement stole the show.
Now the hypocrites on the left are bashing Palin as being too young, too good looking, and too inexperienced. My favorite is the criticism that she’s never been in Washington (I thought we needed a fresh face and real change…) She doesn’t look like the Presidents on the dollar bills. They can’t stand the fact that everything that is wrong with McCain’s VP pick (you know, the number two spot, not the top spot with all the authority) is everything that is wrong with their pick of Barry O.
The fact is, while Palin is younger, hotter, and smells better than B.O., she is still head and shoulders above Barack when it comes to what matters- experience. She actually has years of experience in an executive position. B.O. has none. Barry has been nothing but a junior legislator in Illinois and the U.S. Senate. The only significant legislation he has put forward is his silly Global Poverty Act where he intends to steal nearly a trillion dollars from Americans to give to the U.N.
Palin has several years of actual executive experience as a mayor and governor. She killed the “Bridge to Nowhere” project that B.O. couldn’t stop. She’s led her State toward self-sufficiency, away from relying on the government to keep them afloat. She has made a real difference in politics and the “business as usual” wanderings of the GOP. She’s one of very few politicians who understands the need to balance the needs of the environment with the needs of our civilization. Moreover, she was one of a handful of politicians willing to take a stand to eco-terrorists who lied to the World about polar bear populations in an effort to make them protected.
Honestly, she is the only reason I can have any faith in voting for the GOP ticket. Had this pick really gone to some crack-pot scheme like Lieberman or Huckleberry, I would be “throwing my vote away” on a write-in or Bob Barr. Now I actually feel some glimmer of hope. Of course my biggest hope is that Sarah doesn’t let me down. I hope she can be the one to remind the younger generations that we HAD the policies of B.O. and they FAILED. They destroyed self-sufficiency and productivity in America. We had “progressives” in office. That’s how we ended up with the New Deal. That’s how we ended up with insurmountable debt that will plague us for generations. Barry can whine about “failed Bush policies” all he wants- that doesn’t mean they’ve failed. Saying it doesn’t make it so.
Here’s my prediction (and I won’t edit it later): McCain-Palin win by more than 5% of the popular vote AND take the electoral college, much to the shock and awe of the Left who will spend the next 4 years bitching and moaning the same rants of the last 8. From my lips (well, keyboard) to God’s ear I pray!
