Sarah Palin visitng wounded troops in Germany!
John McCain has proven himself with this pick. The mistrust of him should be gone. He has a conservative voting record, a record of selflessness in service of his country and alligiance to his fellow service members, and he now has a beautiful, intelligent, conservative running mate who anyone could easily see as the first women Vice President of the United states.
She exemplies the strong qualities of this nation and the strengths of a woman as a mother, a professional, and a leader. We very well may have our own budding Margret Thatcher and that is something to be excited about.
I was also thinking about John McCain and his story. His crash in Vietnam and his ordeal in the POW camp was not his first brush with death. He is not a perfect man but I look to the bible to see the kinds of men that are lifted up and our chosen and I see in McCain that kind of man. How lucky we are to have someone who dares to speak his mind regardless of whether what he says is popular or not. How lucky we are to have a hero who was priveleged but chose not to leverage that privelege when it came to escaping early from a prisoner of war camp. John McCain is an uncommon man. He has made mistakes but I think those who have refused to give him any quarter owe him their support now. He made a perfect choice for VP. He has shown judgement where political expediancy would've been easy.
John McCain has proven himself a man of character, a man of his word, and a man who not only served his country but loves it and wants to see it remain strong. We know that on the otherside those things are not the case. We know because of what they say and how they react to our soldiers, our interests, and how they wish to remake this country. They see America as flawed not because of lack of courage but because of lack of submissivness. They see America as flawed not because of blurring of national identity but because it is too patriotic. They see America as flawed not because of broken distorted families but because America dares desire that families not be broken. There is a basic difference of priorities and there is no doubt which set of priorities is the correct one for America.
Now let's get out there and get McCain and our other conservative Senate and House candidates elected!
My Mom was a Hillary supporter. She was shocked at Palin’s selection, and then started reading about her and watching her, and now she’s voting for McCain! My wife has been indifferent, and now she’s settled on McCain/Palin also. It’s over.
Please do not refer to a woman as a chick...Yuk!
‘Does chick mate spell checkmate for McCain?’
Does Woman VP spell checkmate for McCain?
yes it does =)
**”The excitement was palpable among conservative leaders when they heard that Gov. Palin was Sen. McCain’s choice for vice president.**
I was so excited yesterday that I thought about it as I went about my other things. Kept a big smile on my face.
Time to donate to the RNC. Donations to McCain have to be used up by August 31st!

Brilliant move the RNC.
It not only pleases Conservatives such as us, but it also puts the Democrats in an impossible position.
Here are my new tag lines, soon to be bumper stickers.
Palin = Checkmate
Palin 2012
Palin, the Antibama.
The Lib Alter is trying to play dumb. Palin is more experienced than ObamaCarter, who is running for PRESIDENT.
The cool thing is that she will also be the the position to influence him, based on her true conservative values - sort of keep him on track! She clearly is a person that will readily express what’s on her mind.
Besides, this selection adds so much more the the entertainment factor until November! Junk Yard Dog Biden will have an interesting debate to face with Palin.
