Now you're talking
Just when I thought all was lost, John McCain pulls a rabbit out of his hat. Sarah Palin.
Who?
Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska (of all places)
Some of you out there don't know me very well, but people who do know me will know what I mean when I say that this woman is perfect for Vice President.
I have never been much of a fan of your basic shrinking violet type of woman. I've always liked the type that would look good in a ball cap driving a pickup to a fishing hole.
Mrs. Palin is a hockey mom. She took her kids to their hockey games when they were growing up. She played hockey. I don't know if she plays golf, but nobody is perfect.
She is a life time member of the National Rifle Association (NRA). That means she can shoot a gun and that she probably owns one or two. She obviously believes in the 2nd Amendment. If she gets elected I really don't see her trying to come and get my guns. She hunts. She fishes. She is an outdoors person.
She believes that this country's energy needs can (and should) be taken care of right here in this country. she believes we should drill in ANWR. She believes we should be energy dependent on no other country. She agrees that we should take care of the environment but that there are some critters on the endangered species list that are put there by the wacko environmentalists.
But she knows that our technology has advanced so far that drilling for oil is or can be environment friendly.
She raised the capital gains tax on big oil in Alaska. Then turned around and gave every citizen of Alaska an $1,200 check.
She is married to an oil field working man. But that may be a problem. You see...20 some odd years ago he was arrested for DUI. (tsk tsk)
Her oldest son is in the Army and is shipping out to Iraq.
There is something that makes this country a little nuts. She announced that her 17 year old daughter is pregnant and is planning on keeping the child. The daughter is planning on marrying the father, just not right now. Now madam Governor doesn't sound like an anointed one. She sounds just like an ordinary American Mom. Right! I am willing to bet that everybody out there knows someone who is pregnant or has had a baby out of wedlock.
I believe that our forefathers intended our legislators and elected officials to be "Citizen legislators". To come from the "People" for the "People" by the "People". I don't think they intented this country to be ran into the ground by professional politicians.
Sarah Palin is of the people. She is a good person. She knows what the people want because she will listen to the people, not act like a professional politician and try to tell the people what they want.
Sarah Palin is the perfect pick for Vice President. If the Democrats want to play hardball with this woman...well...batter up. She will chew them up and feed them to the overpopulated polar bears.
Besides...She looks damn good in a ball cap, driving a 4x4.

You know I agree with you, 100%.
Imagine. A "real" down-to-earth person in Washington!
I had never even heard of this woman before, so I was somewhat surprised when McCain picked her as a running mate. It is nice to see a political leader who actually represents American citizens for what they are- human beings with real, imperfect lives.

I accidentally published the same comment twice. Oops!
First of all let me say I'm not hiding behind the 'cloak of anonymity', but I don't have a blog so that's the only way I can comment. I'm curious as to how you can feel Sarah Palin is commendable for raising taxes on 'big oil' and returning $1200 to the citizens of Alaska when you just disagreed with Obama for suggesting doing the same thing. Kind of sounds like a double standard to me. I realize that you won't change your mind because of my comments and I won't change mine because of you. I just think this election is turning into something of a popularity contest and I quite frankly think there is more at stake in this election than just electing a student council president.

Dear God. This is beyond "sad"...
I soooo agree with Sharon. Bah.
Insofar as Mandy's comment goes, "imperfect" is pretty-much a given. This is ALL Mrs. Palin bring to the "table". *sigh* Shouldn't a nominee for Vice President of the U.S.A. have a QUALIFICATION???
Barb:
"down-to-earth" ? Hardly. *giggles*
And, speaking strictly for myself, of course, I don't want "common". I want "extraordinary".
!
(I can grocery-shop; clearly, so can Mrs. Palin.) So much for down-to-earth.
I want someone capable of being PRESIDENT! if the need arises.
This is NOT Mrs. Palin. Not at all.
I "suppose" as a Democrat, I should thank Senator McCain.
Conversely, this "could" conceivably happen; after all - look what "we" have now. Ugh.
And, rembember... the central "plank" of the GOP is now, and has been:
"We've got ours; to hell with the rest of you."
As witnessed most-recently by the "buy-out" of Fannie Mae, et al.
To anonymous: Palin raised windfall profits tax and placed the money into the States General fund. This created an excess. By law (Alaska) excess funds were returned to the residents. Many states have this law. The U.S. will never see a surplus.
To: Palin is more qualified to be president than Obama. Obama has zero executive experience. And his community organizer projects have all failed. A one term state Rep and a3/4 of term US Senator doesm' exactly make a strong resume.
Well... it's all over but the next 4- years...
Mrs. Palin aquitted herself about like I expected she would. I admit I was not prepared for the degree of venom -nor the degree of stupidity she demo'd... but! (and even if she can! see Russia from her house...) she behaved like a spoiled brat, and she cost John McCain the Presidency. Which -all-in-all, is okay with me...
I coud -probably- have tolerated John well-enough; but the idea that -GOD FORBID!- this woman could conceivably become PRESIDENT?!? Of MY country?
Oh, no way! NO way.
