Most pundits are reflecting on the historical significance of Sarah Palin being the first woman to be the Vice-Presidential nominee for the GOP. Others are busy belittling her modest background.
I don't think people realize just how monumental a shift is going on here. Sarah Palin reflects the best of the past of our country. And of what could be the future.
Sarah Palin does not have parents who were a senator or governor or a big-city mayor. She did not attend an Ivy League school or even a private school. She had broken fingers from working on a fishing boat. She is everywoman.
She went into government armed only with her integrity and her faith and her courage and her tenacity.
Modern pundits will tell you that you have to be part of the system. That we have to put up with petty (and not-so-petty) corruption. That you have to be part of the party elite to win higher office.
Sarah has proven them all wrong. She is EXACTLY what the Founders envisioned - the citizen reprentative of the people. But she goes well beyond the Founders with that vision.
People are fed up with the corruption, but have no idea how to fight it. Sarah shows them how. Stand up for your values. Resign when the system prevents fighting corruption. Never compromise your values and your beliefs. And take on the corrupt power structure head-on with integrity.
Can Sarah take on the bigger vultures in the DC power structure? ONLY IF WE HELP HER. Those who fear honest government and honest reporting are out in droves to try and tear her down for having the nerve to stand up to the parasites. WE HAVE TO TAKE THEM ON. McCain is a transitional figure for the GOP. Palin and Jindal and others like them are the future of the GOP. It is up to us to decide if they will become the future of our country.
it’s not about her gender for me....i loathe pc picks
i like her because she is the best of the contenders for the job
i will admit that i view her as a woman different...more warm and fuzzy for her than I would be for a man
like how alpha males died for their queen once
*this will go right over the meterosexual heads here but so be it.
My wife and I love this gal...she is perfect....like Rush and Levin and so many have said....it doesn’t get much better than this.
Amen to that. Quite frankly, she kicks ass. In a day and age when we are only supposed to kiss such.
Sarah Palin speaks for me. :)
You have covered so much of what I’ve been thinking, but written it so much better than I could have. The founding fathers never intended elected office to be a career. I like this gal and the more I read about her the better she looks.
i will admit that i view her as a woman different...more warm and fuzzy for her than I would be for a man
I have to admit that also....sue me ;)
same age too
Indeed. Thank you so much for sharing your insights!

There's a lot of us out there just like her...and we vote!
...not to mention, we ‘blue-collar’ gals don’t identify AT ALL with elitist lawyers like Michele Obama and Hillary Clinton!
