Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


What we have in Gov. Sarah Palin is a born leader. She is sensitive and respectful of America’s conservative roots and of the sacred foundation upon which a society flourishes, the family.

Governor Palin understands the importance of this country’s natural resources and how to preserve the natural beauty while simultaneously using resources that we are fortunate to have. She knows the difference between government serving people and people in servitude to government. Sarah Palin has a full load of common sense and she is not afraid to use it. This is a quality that has reached levels of extinction in Washington D.C., especially evident amongst the parasitical career politicians and bureaucrats that infest the federal government.

So, let me express myself clearly to those who would vote on the basis of gender. The fact that gender even has a check-box next to it on your list of pros and cons makes you a bone-head to begin with. The fact that you would not vote for McCain, because you believe that the Republicans are trying to “trick” you makes you an extra-thick bone-head.

Liberal-afflicted black Americans have been so bone-headed to say that Justice Clarence Thomas and Secretary Condi Rice are not really black because they hold conservative, common-sense, America-first views. I suppose it should not be a surprise to hear that liberal-addled minds believe Sarah Palin is not really a woman.

Governor Sarah Palin is a woman, but she is first and foremost an experienced, proven leader at the executive level of government. She will not stand for corruption, and she will not be beholden to narrow interests, special or otherwise. And yes, that includes the lobby for Unfettered Repro-Destructive Rights of women, that most preeminent cancer on the butt of our social conscience.

There is not a moment’s hesitation on my part regarding the prospect of Sarah Palin taking the reigns of power. If a President McCain were to be stricken for some reason, I would take immense comfort from watching Vice President Palin take the oath according to our Constitution.

If you are inclined to reject the McCain-Palin ticket, on the basis of a woman’s right to have children suctioned from the womb into a jar of bloody goo, then you are beyond hope. Philosophical political disagreements drive our representative system of government. A bone-headed, gender-blinded (not gender-blind) devotion to infanticide threatens to drag us all into the pit, and I have no respect for that whatsoever.

Anti-GOP Trolls
Look closely at the comments in this and other threads. What you will find is a messy trail of anti-Republican troll footprints. I guess they can't help themselves. Instead of just posting their opinion and calling it good, they scrurry all over and leave their muck on everything.

Worshipers of Ron Paul and the other 3rd party hanger-ons have decided to extricate themselves from the two Party system... so why they find it prudent to tromp around in places that are irrelevent to them is a mystery.

Maybe they don't really believe in the 3rd Party idea after all. Gee... maybe they should have stayed with the major Parties instead, where their voice could have a chance in hell of making a difference.

3rd Party trolls advocate for nothing at all, and their protestations to the contrary are just noise and static. But no doubt, a troll will find it irresistable to leave yet another trail of muck in response.

Among other things, you say:

". . . whatever else she may bring
to the table, I would bet . . . [Sarah Palin] was picked because she is a woman [for somehow] picking up disgruntled Hillary voters."

REPL:

You seem to think this is duplicitous, wrong for our country or off-the-wall.

I don't see why. McCain isn't pandering to women. He tries to bolster his ticket this way; a reasonable strategy. But he hasn't gone for a DC insider or a name candidate; much less proven losers like Huckabee and Romney. He gave the GOP a conservative, to satisfy those who were persecuting him personally over what they deemed liberalism. HE-- a Reagan Republican!

Now how can they squawk? Oh, yeah-- the border.

OK; take a look at the party platform, then. It ought to calm the fears of our Mexico-bashers.

More important, Mac singles out a promising maverick. He won't let the White House fall into the wrong hands, should God call him from this life in the shorter term. We'll see what a strong woman can do. Is she another Maggie Thatcher? I really think so. It remains to be seen. We still have new presidential elections every four years; in case we get disillusioned. Let her fight for re-election someday. But at least women of good will can hope once more.
