My thoughts on Sarah Palin's resignation.

I was shocked when I heard that Governor Palin was resigning as Alaska Governor. I figured that she might not run for reelection, but didn't imagine she would do this. In the short term she is going to take a hit for this, but it is still fairly early in the game if she has her sights set on 2012. By resigning she won't have to worry about further frivolous ethics complaints that have so far, cost her half a million dollars. She'll also have the freedom to campaign across the country for Republican candidates without the 'anklebitters' whining and complaining. We haven't seen the last of Sarah Louise Heath Palin; No, not by a long shot!

Governor Palin's Speech at Right to Life Dinner

Watch this speech. In my opinion it is the best Pro Life speech I've ever heard a major political figure make. I think you get to see a bit of the soul of Sarah Palin in this speech. Please run in 2012 Sarah!

Is Obama Going Off The Rails of The Crazy-Train?

First we had the AIG fiasco which I'm hearing the Obama administration knew about, Then we had the bright idea of making our veterans pay out of their own pockets, for the medical treatment of battlefield injuries and wounds.  I think with that genius idea that Barack Obama has offically "Jumped The Shark".  That term comes from an episode of 'Happy Days' where '"The Fonz" jumps a shark on water skis, with his leather jacket on.  I think that the rest of this administration is going to be Carter Part II (I think Jimmy Carter is a decent man but he wasn't the greatest of presidents).  Even though polls are saying Obama would beat Palin by 20 points,  I think if he continues on this path, that she will win in a Reaganesque landslide.

Why Caroline Kennedy doesn't belong in The Senate

I have nothing personal against Caroline Kennedy; This is a woman who has lived in the spotlight her entire life, Who had her father murdered when she was 6 and her uncle when she was 11. She, along with her late brother, have seemed to have turned out alot better then some of their other Kennedy cousins who have been in the headlines in recent years. However, having a famous last name, and being the child of a beloved president, are not qualifications to be appointed to the U.S. Senate. If Ms Kennedy wishes to be a senator she is welcomed to run for the office in 2010 and then if the people believe she is well qualified and vote her in, I will have no qualms about it. Her uncle, Ted Kennedy was elected in 1962 on the basis of his last name but he was the choice of the people of his state; not of a single man.

I would advise Governor Patterson to pick someone who has held elected office and has proven they would be able to rise up to the job. Being a Republican I know I will not like the politics of anyone he chooses, but no one would argue that someone like Andrew Cuomo, who has held both appointed, and elected office is well qualified for the U.S. Senate. Personally, I would like him to appoint Mario Cuomo to serve out the remainer of Hillary Clinton's term, and then have a free for all in 2010.

As for the comparisons between Caroline Kennedy and Sarah Palin; I see no simularities at all, except they are both women. Governor Palin has held a number of elected offices. Kennedy has never won any elected office.

I apologize for not posting regularly. I have recently moved and my computer isn't online yet. I do however, want to give my comments on the 2008 election.

• Although I disagree with Barack Obama and would almost certainly never vote for him, I am glad that we have come to a day, as Americans where a black man can be President of the United States.\
• Sarah Palin is the Republican Party's new superstar.  If she wants the nomination in 2012, I believe it will be hers, granted that she doesn't do anything really stupid ala John Edwards.
• The Republican Party needs to find a way to appeal to Hispanics, while at the same time not becoming pro-amnesty.  We should in our outreach to them, put a spotlight on the GOP's conservative positions that the majority of Latino's share.
• We need to also take a page from Obama's playbook, and find a way to appeal to the youth vote. We need to find a way to use the internet for this, the way 'The Chosen One" has.

This is going to be a tough 4 years for us Conservatives. But, we should use this time to reform the Republican Party, and once again make it the party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Reagan.

Palin Debate Video 2

OK, I didn't watch the entire video, but from what I watched, I was impressed. Palin was poised and collected. Of course, she is more knowledgable on Alaskan issues then on foreign policy. I think that theres little chance that McCain will be embarrased by the Palin-Biden debate.

37,244,000

watched Palin's acceptance speech last night, Just 1 million less then the audience for 'The One's" speech. Also the CBS/New York Times poll has the race tied, and this was before 'Sarah Barracuda" spoke last night. I am feeling really good about this pick; I think for the first time since 1960, that a VP pick will make a difference in who wins this election. I think Palin can help McCain in Ohio and in PA and I hope she spends lot of time in both places. If she does I think McCain can start working on his acceptance speech.

I forgot to mention the speech! It was a home run in my estamation. McCain has a tough act to follow!

I have seen the future and WOW!

I have been a fan of Sarah Palin, since I read a profile of her in Alaska magazine. Soon after that, I did a Google search on her and found the web site Draft Sarah Palin for Vice President. I thought she would be the best choice for McCain since she would energize conservatives and attract Independents and open minded Democrats. However, since she wasn't mentioned that much in the media, I had given up on her. Then, I read that a charter from Anchorage had landed in Dayton which made me think "Oh my, McCain is actually going to do it!"

The past week the Democrats and the liberal media have tried everything in their power to destroy this woman. If they didn't view her as a threat, they wouldn't be doing this. I truly believe that, in Sarah Palin; we are seeing the first female President of the United States.

My Pick For McCain's Running Mate

The time is fast approaching for John McCain to pick who will be his running mate. The names that are in the ether right now are primarily, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Rob Portman. However, there is another name that is also generating some buzz. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. John McCain could do the impossible and make both Hillary supporters and Conservatives happy. Hillary supporters would be attracted to a soccer mom with a 5 kids in the VP slot with the likelyhood being, that McCain will only serve one term, thus giving her the upperhand in being the GOP nominee in 2012. The Conservatives would be happy because Palin is a big advocate of drilling in ANWAR, she's solidly pro life, an NRA member and is not part of the Alaska clique of Murkowski and Stevers that has marred the Republican Party in Alaska.

If by some miracle, John McCain is reading this; I beg you, please consider Governor Palin to be your running mate.
