For about three months now, I've had my eye on Sarah Palin. As a political junkie and a mom, I have made it my mission to stay up on up-and-coming conservative politicians in the Republican Party. There's only one young conservative in Wisconsin on the national stage now -- Congressman Paul Ryan, but alas, he's not from my district. Bobby Jindal, from Louisiana has been another young Republican Governor that I've been watching since last year. But I digress...
Sarah Palin is an inspired choice. That's not because she's a woman, but because she's a reformer and a proponent of using Alaska's resources for feuling our country's energy -- specifically oil and natural gas drilling.
I believe John McCain may have chosen her for his VP choice, because she has a record of standing up to corrupt politicians AND oil companies -- yet, she STILL wants to tap Alaska's resources in an environmenally safe way.
The woman is an inspired choice by McCain for other reasons as well: 1) She's a lifetime member of the NRA and a hunter -- shoring up McCain's "gun" vote. 2) She' a mother of five -- she helps McCain with the "soccer mom" vote. 3) She has a son in the military -- she shores up the military vote AND instantly muzzles lefties who scream about "if you're for the war, why don't YOU send your own children to fight?". 4) She has a newborn who she chose NOT to abort, knowing he has Down's Syndrome -- PROVING that she is walking the pro-life walk. This immediately contrasts with the Left's position on abortion AND that horriffic stance on "Born Alive Infant Protection Act" that Obama worked against and voted against.
OK. I'm going to go out on a limb here. Some people may think I'm a bit of a right-wing loon, but here goes: God works in mysterious ways. Consider this: 1) Hillary Clinton, also a Saul Alinsky disciple (as Obama) gets defeated in the Democrat primary by a virtual unknown first term Senator, who won ALL of his previous races virtually unopposed, because his minions had them thrown off the ballot on technicalities and messy divorce records. 2) Hillary would have been more appealing to middle America, being a strong female AND a mother -- yet, the Lefties managed to get rid of her in the Primaries because she wasn't left enough -- or so she seemed. This getting rid of Hillary as an opponent was seen by me as a problem, which had me really worried about this Messiah-like candidate in Obama. However, God knew better. 3) John McCain puts someone on his staff who grabs the "Messiah" image, and runs "The One" ads, which chip away at Obama's lead. 4) McCain and Obama agree to appear at Rick Warren's Saddleback church, to discuss their plans and their policy positions for their proposed presidencies, and surprisingly, JOHN MCCAIN WIPES THE FLOOR WITH BARACK OBAMA. 5) News comes out on talk radio and Fox News, that when in the Illinois Senate, Barack Obama voted against the "Infant Born Alive Protection Act" three times. This results in a virtual TIE in the polls, going into the Democrat convention. 6) The Democrat convention happens, and during the convention, WGN radio gets it's free speech rights strong-armed by minions of the Obama camp. The interviewer was interviewing Stanley Kurtz of National Review, because Kurtz was investigating into Obama's chairmanship of the Chicago Annenburg Challenge, which Bill Ayers also had great influence over. This ties Obama with this far-left radical for a number of YEARS, in more than just "someone who lives in my neighborhood". The 30-year host of the WGN radio show, interviewing Mr.Kurtz said that in 30 YEARS OF RADIO, HE HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH AN ASSAULT ON FREE SPEECH. 7) Then, just as the Dem. convention ends, the next morning, John McCain announces that he's picked Sarah Palin as his choice for Vice President.
I realize that many of you doubt the wisdom of God, but these SEVEN events in this presidential campaign are NOTHING SHORT THAN THE HAND OF GOD GUIDING EVENTS. It's very possible that Sarah Palin may turn out to be our female Ronald Reagan. Yes, I said it. We have been praying to God for another Reagan to save us from the scourge of Socialism that our government has been headed toward, and LOW AND BEHOLD, IT HAPPENED. God in his wisdom found us this self-described "hockey mom", who could turn out to be John McCain's understudy for 4-8 years, and then be the FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT.
Congratulations to John McCain, for choosing the right woman at the right time. "She's exactly what I need. She's exactly what this country needs." - John McCain
