Jim, your words reflected what I am hearing every day out here on Main Street USA!
Go! Sarah!

Governor Sarah Palin! Or, actually, what she signifies.
We've often stated on FR that if the Republicans would only run true conservatives then we'd win more elections. We'd keep the White House, build conservative majorities in congress, replace liberal activist judges with original intent constitutionalists, and eventually overturn Roe v Wade and begin rolling back some of the damage inflicted upon our beloved republic by the socialists and liberals.
John McCain's bold choice of the unabashed pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-liberty, small government, strong defense, fiscal conservative, Sarah Palin, signifies a return to conservatism within the Republican Party.
And the fact that Republicans and conservatives of every stripe, including the Christian right are flocking to her side and that the conservative grassroots has been re-energized literally overnight is proof that when offered the choice of truly conservative candidates, conservatives and Republicans will react accordingly.
Even though I've stated in the past that I would not vote for McCain, I will be supporting this ticket. Governor Palin is a God-fearing, kick butt conservative and I'd much rather have her advising and standing in the wings for the presidency than Joe Biden. I'll definitely pull the lever for her. And I'll do all I possibly can to keep the America-hating Marxist Barack Hussein Obama out of the White House.
Do it for Life. Do it for Liberty. Do it for our troops. Do it for America!
Palin is the spoonful of sugar that makes the McCain medicine go down.
BTTT
Ok, NOW we are going to WIN!!
Thank you JimRob! Palin is amazing and has us all energized!
BOoYah to that Jim!
Bookmark bump, glad to see you posting, JimRob.

Bump.
Much more important than politics ... it’s good to see you back, JR.
That's my plan anyway.
He too is pulling the lever for Palin!
Who are you really and what have you done with Jim Robinson?
I’d do it more than once Jim, if they would let me... I even sent them some money. Palin is our future... we have Reagan in the wings!
LLS
Excellent. It’s great to see you online again, Jim. :)
Obama’s dead, Jim.
Jim, your words reflected what I am hearing every day out here on Main Street USA!
Go! Sarah!

Bookmark and I agree!
Agreed. 2 months ago I said I would never vote McCain. This IS the ticket of change. My Maverick/Barracuda bumper stickers have already been ordered.
I would have preferred Petraeus/Palin, but I’ll settle for McCain/Palin.
Great post, Jim.
And let’s remember, if McCain-Palin wins, Sarah Palin will become a major player in the Republican Party for a couple of decades to come, even possibly becoming president.
I announced the same to my wife the Friday McCain announced her candidacy. Listening to her speech at the rally, I knew then and there it was a brilliant choice.
I still have to say I'm voting more for Palin than McCain, but it's our job to hold his feet to the fire on issues such as immigration and global warming. And I suspect with Sarah Palin at his side, he's going to be getting an earful anyway.
Does this mean we can look forward to a Palin/Robinson ticket in 2012?
LOL! Took ya long enough, soldier!
Good to hear. I was not a McCain supporter either.
But I have watched his campaign, the way he has conducted himself, and see that there is character there regardless of the fact I may disagree with him on some points.
Besides, between him and Obama, its a no brainer for me.
Hope you are feeling better too.
Now the real work begins.
As the fellow said: I am now proud to be a Republican, again.
BTTT
I understand your reasons and also know you won’t stop holding his feet to the fire. Personally I’m holding out for some kind of indications of what kind of cabinet he’s going to pick.
You should of supported him as soon as he became ‘heir’ purely because of the USSC issues that will come up in the next four years.
Welcome aboard.
Fight with me. Fight with me.
Fight for what’s right for our country. Fight for the ideals and character of a free people.
Fight for our children’s future. Fight for justice and opportunity for all.
Stand up to defend our country from its enemies. Stand up for each other, for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America.
Stand up, stand up, stand up, and fight.
Nothing is inevitable here. We’re Americans, and we never give up.
We never quit.
We never hide from history. We make history.
Thank you, and God bless you, and God bless America.
BUMP
It would be foolish for us to believe he will never ruffle our feathers again. Picking Palin was “putting the ball in our court”, so to speak. We have to support the ticket now.
“Do it for Life. Do it for Liberty. Do it for our troops. Do it for America!”
JR, that last part brought tears to my eyes, I too will be voting for McCain/Palin in November, without any reservations I might add.
Well old FRiend I too have come around. McCain is Mcain but I see hope for conservatives with Palin...Jindal.
When eating my crow I used a lot of tobasco sauce.
It feels good, doesn’t it? Kinda like the old Goldwater button...
“In Your Heart, You Know She’s Right”...
You had me at “Governor Sarah Palin”
Can we be sure there will not be a repeat of abandoning social conservatives after the election, as has happened before? Although it looks more promising now.
YES! I was planning to vote holding my nose, but now I can vote with a smile on my face.
God Save the Republic!
Isn’t that the honest truth. I can’t imagine a better choice. I’m pumped and my friends are as well (well, I haven’t talked to my Democrat friends about it, but I’ll bet they AREN’T pumped!)
susie
As opposed to the cabinet that Hussein Obama would pick?
I’m voting for McCain to have the opportunity to keep the seat warm until 2012. I’ve seen even the most anti-McCain folks turn based on this announcement. It really does give Conservatives hope (for lack of a better term) for the future of the party.
We can use our leverage through donations and making our voices heard (just like Meyers) to keep McCain in check for a few years- leverage we won’t have with Obama.
I feel silly saying this on your own website, but “Welcome Aboard, JimRob!” Glad to have you with us!
We have all have reservations about Senator McCain. However, anyone that is wise enough to pick Governor Palin has got to have something going for him. I’m voting for him without reservation now. It will be fun to see this team go to work.
I also think we may well be seeing a future POTUS in Sarah Palin.
I agree, Jim. As I’ve said in a previous thread, despite my reservations with John McCain I find his choice of running mate inspired. Senator McCain and Governor Palin have my full support.
When I heard Jimmy Carter say McCain was milking his POW past for political gain, it totally made me change and want to support McCain. Palin was just icing on the cake.
IBTZ :-)
