McCain-Palin 08
As many of you know, until the end in March I was an ardent Huckabee for President supporter. I campaigned for Huck up and down the web and even made telephone calls for him. In fact, up until McCain’s announcement on Friday, I supported Gov. Huckabee for the vice presidential nomination. He was my first pick.
What many of you probably don’t know is that once Huckabee dropped out, I began to begrudgingly “support” McCain, but only in the fact that I was going to vote for him. I had no intentions whatsoever of campaigning for him. He was too liberal for my tastes and didn’t really seem to have the leadership necessary for the highest position in the land. In reality, I was more or less voting against Obama. Because of my disaffection for Senator McCain, I was eagerly waiting on his pick for the VP nomination. Only a true conservative pick was going to get me fired up.
It was, in fact, a blessing in disguise that Sen. McCain waited until Friday to announce. It gave me time to reconsider his policies and his issues. Actually, it seemed like it gave McCain the needed time to really streamline his policies and hit his streak. In the past few weeks, he has really gotten his act together. The stronger he sounded on television with his ads against Obama and the stronger he sounded in his speeches, the more I realized that McCain really could win this thing, and he would probably do it with my support.
Then came last Friday when Senator McCain of Arizona made his two best political decisions ever. First, he announced that he would be announcing his VP pick on Friday at noon, right after Barack Obama’s historic speech. Second, he really delivered by announcing my second choice for VP, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, as his vice presidential running mate, wiping out any Obama media coverage. Sen. McCain really couldn’t have picked a better time to announce, nor could he have picked a better running mate.
Gov. Palin has a proven track record of reform and integrity and has true conservative grit. Face it, there is no one else who could oust corrupt (but highly popular) incumbents at the city and state levels. After serving ten years for the citizens of Wasilla, AK, first as a council member and then as mayor, she became the Chairwoman of the Alaska Oil and Natural Gas Commission. That first statewide position didn’t work out well for the ruling class, as it never has for anyone when Gov. Palin is around. She quickly blew the whistle on major corruption involving the government and oil companies with Alaskan interests. In fact, she resigned her position shortly after accepting it in protest of the ineffectiveness of the current administrations corruption battle.
Palin believed she could do a better job, so she ran for governor of the whole state. In a resounding victory, she became the youngest and first female governor of the State of Alaska in 2006. Governor Palin has become the country’s most popular governor and accomplished many of her campaign goals, all while being highly involved in her five children’s lives, most recently giving birth to a child whom she knew would be born with Down’s Syndrome. Obviously, Palin is adamantly Pro-Life. Raised in a Christian home, she has held true to her morals. As a hunter and fisher, she vehemently supports Second Amendment rights and environmental conservatism when drilling for much needed oil. She believes in a limited government and in limited government involvement. She knows we, as Americans, can take care of ourselves and our fellow citizen. Truly, Sarah Palin understands “real” America. She’s been there. She knows. And she’ll take it all the way to the White House.

yay caleb …its great to see fellow young people making the right choices by processing all of the information instead of playing into all of the media’s biased hype dealing with the dems.
@hs thanks for the reply. it’s sickening to watch them fawn over Barack Obama and gloss over his connections and past. it’s refreshing, however, to watch them stumble over themselves because palin is such a good choice!
Palin has reinvorgated me and others. What was a dull more of the same stuff is now something to believe in. McCain’s speech confirmed this.
What a shame, The level that Senator McCain has fell to (negative campain adds)
@JoeBob Negative campaign ads are sometimes the only effective way to get out the truth. Sometimes, they’re not truthful, though, like Obama’s “More of the Same” ads… I think Sen. McCain has stuck to his higher values; his ads don’t ride and cross the line between truth and liberal fanaticism.
Now, some will say, “What about McCain’s lipstick on a pig ad?” Well, that’s a good question, but I think, if nothing else, it underscores Obama’s unreadiness. If he can’t even choose his words carefully in his campaign and against other Americans, how is he going to handle Putin or Iran? He may offend them so much they blow us up anyway!
