I'm sorry, but I've never been much of a Palin supporter. After all, IMO, if she's good enough for Juan McCain, she is NOT good enough for me.

No offense, but you're completely ignorant as to how American presidential elections work. With rare exception, running mates are picked to fill gaps in experience, appeal to voting blocks that aren't covered, bolster a campaign theme or provide regional balance/get a swing state in the bag (or some combination of them)`, NOT because the big guy and the veep are in love with each other's policy positions. That's why Barack "No experience" Obama picked a guy who had been in the Senate since before Watergate (fill gaps) and McCain picked someone who would appeal to the base and reinforce the "Maverick reformer" theme.

I voted for Pastor Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party after Rep. Paul lost the nomination.

As a veteran and the father of a future Air Force officer, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the sober and thoughtful way you have associated being a conservative with helping out an inept commander-in-chief. Oh, and thanks for Janet Napolitano! Thanks, I

You're quite welcome.

Assuming that you voted for Juan McCain, I appreciate your supporting a Neocon progressive who idolized the ultra-progressive Teddy Roosevelt; a candidate who has little respect for the 1st & 2nd Amendments (remember McCain-Feingold & his support for gun control?); a candidate that is wishy-washy when it comes to protecting the God-given rights of the unborn; a globalist member of the CFR who has oftentimes said several good things about Hillary & Obama, & has even been helped by Soros, which you can read about HERE after scrolling down a little bit; shall I continue?

THANK YOU! You did our nation a BIG favor in 2008 when you voted for Juan McCain!
