Vice Presidential Nominee To Address the 2008 Republican National Convention
SAINT PAUL, Minn. - This evening Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican Party's vice presidential nominee, will address the 2008 Republican National Convention. The governor's remarks, as prepared for delivery, are below.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin
Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored to be considered for the nomination for Vice President of the United States...
I accept the call to help our nominee for president to serve and defend America.
I accept the challenge of a tough fight in this election... against confident opponents ... at a crucial hour for our country.....
And I accept the privilege of serving with a man who has come through much harder missions ... and met far graver challenges ... and knows how tough fights are won - the next president of the United States, John S. McCain.
It was just a year ago when all the experts in Washington counted out our nominee because he refused to hedge his commitment to the security of the country he loves.
With their usual certitude, they told us that all was lost - there was no hope for this candidate who said that he would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war.
But the pollsters and pundits overlooked just one thing when they wrote him off.
They overlooked the caliber of the man himself - the determination, resolve, and sheer guts of Senator John McCain. The voters knew better.
And maybe that's because they realize there is a time for politics and a time for leadership ... a time to campaign and a time to put our country first.
Our nominee for president is a true profile in courage, and people like that are hard to come by.
He's a man who wore the uniform of this country for 22 years, and refused to break faith with those troops in Iraq who have now brought victory within sight.
And as the mother of one of those troops, that is exactly the kind of man I want as commander in chief. I'm just one of many moms who'll say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm's way.
Our son Track is 19.
And one week from tomorrow - September 11th - he'll deploy to Iraq with the Army infantry in the service of his country.
My nephew Kasey also enlisted, and serves on a carrier in the Persian Gulf.
My family is proud of both of them and of all the fine men and women serving the country in uniform. Track is the eldest of our five children.
In our family, it's two boys and three girls in between - my strong and kind-hearted daughters Bristol, Willow, and Piper.
And in April, my husband Todd and I welcomed our littlest one into the world, a perfectly beautiful baby boy named Trig. From the inside, no family ever seems typical.
That's how it is with us.
Our family has the same ups and downs as any other ... the same challenges and the same joys.
Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge.
And children with special needs inspire a special love.
To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters.
I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House. Todd is a story all by himself.
He's a lifelong commercial fisherman ... a production operator in the oil fields of Alaska's North Slope ... a proud member of the United Steel Workers' Union ... and world champion snow machine racer.
Throw in his Yup'ik Eskimo ancestry, and it all makes for quite a package.
We met in high school, and two decades and five children later he's still my guy. My Mom and Dad both worked at the elementary school in our small town.
And among the many things I owe them is one simple lesson: that this is America, and every woman can walk through every door of opportunity.
My parents are here tonight, and I am so proud to be the daughter of Chuck and Sally Heath. Long ago, a young farmer and habber-dasher from Missouri followed an unlikely path to the vice presidency.
A writer observed: "We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity, and dignity." I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind when he praised Harry Truman.
I grew up with those people.
They are the ones who do some of the hardest work in America ... who grow our food, run our factories, and fight our wars.
They love their country, in good times and bad, and they're always proud of America. I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town.
I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids' public education better.
When I ran for city council, I didn't need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too.
Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown.
And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves.
I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening.
We tend to prefer candidates who don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
As for my running mate, you can be certain that wherever he goes, and whoever is listening, John McCain is the same man. I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment.< br>
And I've learned quickly, these past few days, that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.
But here's a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.
Politics isn't just a game of clashing parties and competing interests.
The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it.
No one expects us to agree on everything.
But we are expected to govern with integrity, good will, clear convictions, and ... a servant's heart.
I pledge to all Americans that I will carry myself in this spirit as vice president of the United States. This was the spirit that brought me to the governor's office, when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau ... when I stood up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies, and the good-ol' boys network.
Sudden and relentless reform never sits well with entrenched interests and power brokers. That's why true reform is so hard to achieve.
But with the support of the citizens of Alaska, we shook things up.
And in short order we put the government of our state back on the side of the people.
I came to office promising major ethics reform, to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is the law.
While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor's office that I didn't believe our citizens should have to pay for.
That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay.
I also drive myself to work.
And I thought we could muddle through without the governor's personal chef - although I've got to admit that sometimes my kids sure miss her. I came to office promising to control spending - by request if possible and by veto if necessary.
Senator McCain also promises to use the power of veto in defense of the public interest - and as a chief executive, I can assure you it works.
Our state budget is under control.
We have a surplus.
And I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending: nearly half a billion dollars in vetoes.
I suspended the state fuel tax, and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress.
I told the Congress "thanks, but no thanks," for that Bridge to Nowhere.
If our state wanted a bridge, we'd build it ourselves. When oil and gas prices went up dramatically, and filled up the state treasury, I sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged - directly to the people of Alaska.
And despite fierce opposition from oil company lobbyists, who kind of liked things the way they were, we broke their monopoly on power and resources.
As governor, I insisted on competition and basic fairness to end their control of our state and return it to the people.
I fought to bring about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history.
And when that deal was struck, we began a nearly forty billion dollar natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence.
That pipeline, when the last section is laid and its valves are opened, will lead America one step farther away from dependence on dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart.
The stakes for our nation could not be higher.
When a hurricane strikes in the Gulf of Mexico, this country should not be so dependent on imported oil that we are forced to draw from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
And families cannot throw away more and more of their paychecks on gas and heating oil.
With Russia wanting to control a vital pipeline in the Caucasus, and to divide and intimidate our European allies by using energy as a weapon, we cannot leave ourselves at the mercy of foreign suppliers.
To confront the threat that Iran might seek to cut off nearly a fifth of world energy supplies ... or that terrorists might strike again at the Abqaiq facility in Saudi Arabia ... or that Venezuela might shut off its oil deliveries ... we Americans need to produce more of our own oil and gas.
And take it from a gal who knows the North Slope of Alaska: we've got lots of both.
Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America's energy problems - as if we all didn't know that already.
But the fact that drilling won't solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all.
Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we're going to lay more pipelines ... build more new-clear plants ... create jobs with clean coal ... and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources.
We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers. I've noticed a pattern with our opponent.
Maybe you have, too.
We've all heard his dramatic speeches before devoted followers.
And there is much to like and admire about our opponent.
But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate.
This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word "victory" except when he's talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed ... when the roar of the crowd fades away ... when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent's plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he's done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger ... take more of your money ... give you more orders from Washington ... and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world. America needs more energy ... our opponent is against producing it.
Victory in Iraq is finally in sight ... he wants to forfeit.
Terrorist states are seeking new-clear weapons without delay ... he wants to meet them without preconditions.
Al Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America ... he's worried that someone won't read them their rights? Government is too big ... he wants to grow it.
Congress spends too much ... he promises more.
Taxes are too high ... he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan, and let me be specific.
The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes ... raise payroll taxes ... raise investment income taxes ... raise the death tax ... raise business taxes ... and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars. My sister Heather and her husband have just built a service station that's now opened for business - like millions of others who run small businesses.
How are they going to be any better off if taxes go up? Or maybe you're trying to keep your job at a plant in Michigan or Ohio ... or create jobs with clean coal from Pennsylvania or West Virginia ... or keep a small farm in the family right here in Minnesota.
How are you going to be better off if our opponent adds a massive tax burden to the American economy? Here's how I look at the choice Americans face in this election.
In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers.
And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.
They're the ones whose names appear on laws and landmark reforms, not just on buttons and banners, or on self-designed presidential seals.
Among politicians, there is the idealism of high-flown speechmaking, in which crowds are stirringly summoned to support great things.
And then there is the idealism of those leaders, like John McCain, who actually do great things. They're the ones who are good for more than talk ... the ones we have always been able to count on to serve and defend America. Senator McCain's record of actual achievement and reform helps explain why so many special interests, lobbyists, and comfortable committee chairmen in Congress have fought the prospect of a McCain presidency - from the primary election of 2000 to this very day.
Our nominee doesn't run with the Washington herd.
He's a man who's there to serve his country, and not just his party.
A leader who's not looking for a fight, but is not afraid of one either. Harry Reid, the Majority Leader of the current do-nothing Senate, not long ago summed up his feelings about our nominee.
He said, quote, "I can't stand John McCain." Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps no accolade we hear this week is better proof that we've chosen the right man. Clearly what the Majority Leader was driving at is that he can't stand up to John McCain. That is only one more reason to take the maverick of the Senate and put him in the White House. My fellow citizens, the American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of "personal discovery." This world of threats and dangers is not just a community, and it doesn't just need an organizer.
And though both Senator Obama and Senator Biden have been going on lately about how they are always, quote, "fighting for you," let us face the matter squarely.
There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you ... in places where winning means survival and defeat means death ... and that man is John McCain. In our day, politicians have readily shared much lesser tales of adversity than the nightmare world in which this man, and others equally brave, served and suffered for their country.
It's a long way from the fear and pain and squalor of a six-by-four cell in Hanoi to the Oval Office.
But if Senator McCain is elected president, that is the journey he will have made.
It's the journey of an upright and honorable man - the kind of fellow whose name you will find on war memorials in small towns across this country, only he was among those who came home.
To the most powerful office on earth, he would bring the compassion that comes from having once been powerless ... the wisdom that comes even to the captives, by the grace of God ... the special confidence of those who have seen evil, and seen how evil is overcome. A fellow prisoner of war, a man named Tom Moe of Lancaster, Ohio, recalls looking through a pin-hole in his cell door as Lieutenant Commander John McCain was led down the hallway, by the guards, day after day.
As the story is told, "When McCain shuffled back from torturous interrogations, he would turn toward Moe's door and flash a grin and thumbs up" - as if to say, "We're going to pull through this." My fellow Americans, that is the kind of man America needs to see us through these next four years.
For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words.
For a lifetime, John McCain has inspired with his deeds.
If character is the measure in this election ... and hope the theme ... and change the goal we share, then I ask you to join our cause. Join our cause and help America elect a great man as the next president of the United States.
Thank you all, and may God bless America.

Sarah Barracuda just made Obama a smoking pile of bloody pulp. |
|
Home Run Sarah !!!!!!!
excellant speech
very well delivered
a Star is born !!!!!!! |
|
Did you hear something break? Sounded like the camel's back. John and Sarah just set it in concrete.
I can't wait to hear what the MSM has to say tomorrow. They'll probably still be talking about pregnancies and the duties of Republican mothers.
|
|
THeir coverage was great. They kept switching to her daughter and family. Once, when Rudy was about to deliver his biggest one-liner, Keith Olberman cut in and began to speak, and the network cut him off dead.
Of course I left the room when their talking heads returned.
Way to go Sarah. What a spectacle. A star IS born. The future first female PRESIDENT of the US. Teddy Roosevelt has been reincarnated as a woman. |
|
|
Dems who think that she won't hold her own against Biden are going to be very disappointed. |
|
...is that this lady is a heartbeat away from the Presidency and we have no clue who she really is.
And if we accept Palin's own premise that the geopolitical realities of our day require someone like McCain, then does that not condemn her very own lack of the same quality?
For someone potentially a hearbeat away from the White House, we learned VERY LITTLE about who this woman really is... |
|
|
Does anyone know who the speech writer for this was? |
|
A STAR is born.
I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
|
Is Sarah ready for the presidency if something happens to McCain?
I don't know, is Barack ready if something happens to Biden? |
|
You could hear the "shock and awe" in the voices of the ABC commentators. Republicans can win this. RAS is showing a shift for McCain in many of the swing states. Obama's bounce is coming mainly in the blue states. He is losing traction in the swing states.
Palin is a heat seeking missle. GO Sarah. |
|
I am a Liberal Obama supporter. I will give Gov. Sarah Palin her due tonight. Tough speech. She can throw a punch. Now get ready cause we are coming at you. If you are as tough as you acted tonight then don't cry Sexism.
It's on like Donkie Kong!
Obama / Biden 08 |
|
|
Her speech was sarcastic, in your face, and condescending. She was all fight and no diplomacy. She reminded me of a snidey cheerleader, not the world leader we will need. Joe Biden can take off the gloves. |
|
by going out and shooting some animals from an airplane.
America is going to love her when she has to admit that she hunts from an airplane. |
|
|
I have defended her on TH becouse of the awful things that have been said about her. Now, I completely support the McCain/Palin ticket. As an independent voter and not very satisfied about any ticket until Palin, and now after her speach tonight, I'm all in! She can take care of herself. I can hear it all tomarrow from the left. Angry and running scared!!!! |
|
That tinkling sound you all hear is the Libterds wetting their pants. I expect Oblahmas next giveaway will be a promise of "A Diaper for every wet Liberal Bottom." One more thing we will all be expected to pay for.
I can't wait to see her put Plugs in his place. My $2300 is on its way to the campaign. |
|
Oh yeah,
She said what needed to be said. Since the media isnt going to stop going after her, she's saying "bring it on!" She laid her family right out there, warts and all. Go get em press! We need to just accept that having a family makes you a target - if you are conservative.
The thought kept going through my mind that someone was sitting in a smoky room watching her speech saying; "she has got to go"
She has drastically altered this election. Just look at how the opposition is reacting. She's not afraid to face em down. I would not want to be her secret service team. Clearly the opposition is scared, and Really pissed off.
I think a little fighting attitude is called for. What? If you call them out,- Are they going to get even more hysterical? Just let em go, they'll burst an artery.
You dems got owned tonight... Totally.
|
|
Sarah talks to you. Obama and Hillary talk down to you. She is sincere. Everytime these so-called "leaders" of the Democratic Party talk, you watch as they carefully choose their words - as if they were lawyers. Hey wait, they are lawyers. Wouldn't ya know.
Hillary and Obama can't speak from the heart, because they have no heart. |
|
|
She has more Balls than Obama and Biden combined. She's won my vote, in this election and her Presidential run. |
|
|
All of the speakers did a great job tonight of making the case why we cannot afford to let our country become the nanny state that Obama so intensely desires. Governor Palin did more than bring out a little red meat for the RNC, she slaughtered the whole cow. |
|
That was some hello!
She sure didn't look like she spent the last few days being crucified with her family by the MSM.
Very impressive speech.
McCain/Palin 08 |
|
|
|
It's easy go get a small airplane and chase animals through the snows of Alaska. Some folks prefer sooting with a shotgun, other like to chases the animal into exhaustion, land the plane and shoot the animal point blank.
I wonder what method Sarah prefers.
Inquiring mind want to know.

|
Thanks for givin credit where credit is due. Few libs do.
I said the same thing after Obama's speech (that it was a great speech).
It IS on like Donkey Kong and were bringin a barracuda! |
|
Let's see how she does without 5 days of practice and a professional speesh writer. Sen. Obama writes most of his speeches, including last weeks Democratic nomination acceptance speech, and has had sit downs with all of the major paper editorial boards.
The RNC has already been hiding her from the press. Let's see how she does on Face The Nation and Meet The Press, or even the Republican Lounge Fox Sunday morning. She played tough in her own gym, let's see what happens on the road. |
|
|
|
And I thought PASSIONATE conservatism was on life support. God bless you, Mrs. Palin. You and your family have spent most of the last week in the crucible of the leftist media and tonite you delivered the American people pure gold!!! True conservatives across our great nation were beginning to think the Reagan Revolution died with the man. You have given many of us new hope. Don't let us down Sarah, honey. YOU GO GIRL!!!

You guys are in for it. Thanks to McCain and Palin... and your own inability to value truth. |
|
The libs commenting in here are certainly on the attack (or should I say defensive?) tonite. I could almost feel the barometric pressure outside my house drop a couple of millibars from all the dems in my precinct gasping for air after Mrs. Palin's upper deck shot. It's going to be an interesting November. Anyone want to join me in January for ringside tickets to Palin vs. Pelosi??

Listen up, you and the rest of the Demobrats can go back under the rocks that you came from because I don't care!! I am speaking from the heart, and I am speaking the with a open mind. I was banned by dailykos after two hours on that ridiculous site after enduring hatred that, if I wanted to face I would go spit in the faces of Russian soldiers!!
Obama doesn't write his speeches without the assistance of a speech writer's assistance, or without the training he needed from Rev. Wright!! So let's not try to forget where Obama came from shall we!! Oh that's right, you are defending Obama's integrity, honor, and abilities, yet anything in Obama's past is totally forgotten about by the MEDIA-BIASED-DEMOBRATS!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to tell ya, but if Palin didn't bother the Demobrats so much there wouldn't be so many newpapers out trying to get her!!! I wonder how many editors had to stay up until 4am by their bosses, trying to take a wack at Palin just to keep polls close for Obama!!!! So I say only this to Demobrats, SCREW-OFF, TRUE CONSERVATISM IS BACK!!!!! |
|
Budd, there is a reliable source of amusement for an article to post: The Huffington Post!! Can't you Dumbobrats come up with anything new that you can use as a news source? I tried to potty train my dog on that rag, and my dog wouldn't even go crap on that trash!!
If that is the kind of trash that you and the rest of the morons in the Demobratic party relies upon for news, along with Kos (who is a wimp!!!) then I will send some tampons to you guys to wipe your tears!!! Here is a hint, try reading some true books for once, here is a classic that I am recommending: The Bible.
Maybe you and the rest of the idiots in the Demobratic Party can learn some morals, ethics, and some behavior that will benefit our America, our citizens, and our futures!! Maybe then the change Obama and company keeps talking about will benefit not only America, but the entire world!!!!! |

What ignoramous moron considers the Huffington Post a reliable source of info?? I agree with charles, try the Bible. Some other ones worth considering:
Declaration of Independence
The Constitution
The Federalist Papers
Wall Street Journal
Try these, who knows, you may read them and decide to throw away that copy of the Communist Manifesto that looks like a well read copy of the Yellow Pages.

Listen up, the only thing that you liberal nutjobs fear is the truth, and the truth is Obama and company do nothing but lie, cheat, and steal their way through this campaign. Palin is a natural at politics, and since she is so forceful and force to be dealt with she is nutcase?
Mr. doug, how about Obama admit he is a muslim, non-American, terrorist loving idiot, Ayer's supporter, white hater, religious zealot, married to a race hater, who inspires to conquer the problems of blacks in America by segregating whites by improving herself in her own thesis, by advancing only the blacks with her degree!!
Now do some research, Obama wouldn't be anywhere right now if the MSM didn't put him where he is right now!! If it wasn't for his skin color, or the media pushing him forward, Obama would still be in the Senate still doing nothing and still sitting with his thumb in the hole in his rear-end!!! |
|
|
I didn't know you were complete idiots. Carry on. |
|
Do you really think you can become a US Senator from Illinois unless you know how to play hardball, have superior political talent and instincts. You can rave on about empty suit and community organizer. Just realize a few things.
1. Obama earned more votes than McCain in the primaries.
2. The "No experience" "Rookie" - Neophyte" Lightweight" knocked out the Clinton machine, as well as the Right-Wing Rev. Wright hit jobs from the press.
4. More people are registered as Democrats in this election cycle.
5. Sen. Obama has raised over 300 Mil, has a better ground game.
Enjoy your evening. We will see you at the debates. |
|
|
Sarah should be flattered the way the main-scream press is trying to destroy her. The worse they treat her shows that the more they fear her. Nobama.......be afraid, be very afraid. |
|
I would like you to give me your actual names, street addresses, and Social Security numbers. Why am I asking for that? It's so if Obama gets elected and raises taxes in countless ways, you two can pay the extra amount for me since you are so strongly for him and all his policies - one of which is to raise taxes to an outrageous level. Not to worry about your information being safe with me. I used to be a Brink's guard and am used to handling confidential information (and disposing of same when it is no longer needed). Obviously I am kidding about the request for information, especially since it is my guess that heavydoug does not even work at a job.
Oh yeah, one more thing. You should give back the money to the IRS that you received as a result of President Bush's tax cuts, since you obviously hate all his policies so much. And on that comment, I am serious. |
|
You don't need to worry about Christianity in politics. It was not this country's Founders intent to keep religion out of government - but they were strongly opposed to keeping government from interfering with religion. Learn more about the actual history of this country instead of relying on the drivel and propaganda (in most cases) that you will find on YouTube with regards to politics.
One final note: The words "separation of church and state" are not even in the Constitution. |
|
The fiction writers association might find a place for you. If not try the mental institutions. The say that, "Insanity begins with the first lie."
Even Christ faced corrupt lawyers and priests who were incensed by his message and tried to trip him up. Sorry but your mysterious minister story is too tackie, the funny part is the disguised voice to hide someone's identity.
Anyone can put use pictures and claim that are about this of that and be far form the facts. Only someone as crazy as you is going to believe it.
Rubbish.
|
|
This election's going to be fun, fun, fun. It was pretty boring til Sarah Palin showed up.
Now it's electrified!
The Republican base went from zombies - to full-blown resurrection in only 5 DAYS!
Whoa! This is awesome! :-D |
|
Levi Johnsons MySpace.com was faked. He did not have an account on myspace.com.
The are fabricating fake news, doctored photos of Sarah in a bikini, her head was photoshoped over another picture. What a waste of talent and time.
Up to a point I have been trained to notice counterfeit work and that is what the huffingtonpost.com and The Daily KOS are fabricating to smear Sarah Palin. Don’t believe it for a minute.
|
|
|
|
There are some who say that what scares them is that Sarah Palin is a heartbeat away from the presidency and we don't know who she really is.
I have a scenario that is even more frightening. Barak Obama could be elected president and we know who he really is.
Which one bothers you more ?

Congratulations to Sarah Palin who gave a brilliant speech last night at the Republican convention. She's the real deal and people are seeing this now. At last, someone who "gets it" and will be a perfect Vice President for President John McCain.
Yes, I am thrilled that she is a heartbeat away - she could fill in at a moments notice. Like Reagan, she will surround herself with those in the know - experts in their fields.
Thank you Sarah and God bless you and your family and God bless the USA. I am behind you all the way.

Noticed you were from Indianapolis. A good conservative farm state - love Indiana. Much like my home state - Idaho. Solid red state. Did you happen to catch a glimpse of the campaign button on the lapel of one of the Indiana delegates. It said:
"Hoosiers for the Hot Chick"
Right on!!! You go, Sarah. And if the MSM give you and yours any more static, you send it right back, darlin'.

Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.
And it's no surprise that, after eight years of George Bush, millions of people have found that by coming together in their local communities they can change the course of history. That promise is what our campaign has been about from the beginning.
Throughout our history, ordinary people have made good on America's promise by organizing for change from the bottom up. Community organizing is the foundation of the civil rights movement, the women's suffrage movement, labor rights, and the 40-hour workweek. And it's happening today in church basements and community centers and living rooms across America. |

Looks like Sarah has got the support of a solid, rock hard conservative...

When favorable comparisons are made between any republican nominee and Ronald Reagan, is it any wonder the libs are cowering in fear and seething with rage??
