Why I like Sarah Palin

Yes, she does.


Yeah, it's about change, to an extent. And yeah, there's reason for hope. But when the rhetoric dies down, people - real, non-Washington, non-pop-star people, people like Sarah Palin - will get to work, following tried and true leaders with a known, demonstable record of real change and reform.


Obama - whether you're talking about the Reverend Messiah Lord Utmost Obama X (Barack Obama) or Q. Crackhead the Pop Star (the crapper...I mean, uh, rapper who has changed his name from P. Diddy to So-Rock Obama) - doesn't have the slightest plan for the future of this country, beyond pithy catch phrases and an elaborate website full of pie-in-the-sky promises that neither he, nor anyone else, can pay for.


I've never been McCain's biggest fan. I can promise you that I would NEVER, EVER, EVER support a candidate simply because of party affiliation, and I can assure readers (if there are any) that I am NOT a Republican. But the bottom line here is that all of our present problems are caused by Big Government - specifically the kind of cradle-to-grave Big Government involvement in our daily affairs that Obama and his ilk espouse. It is for this reason alone that I have until now supported McCain and his campaign.

Now, though, while I still don't like McCain that much, I do have someone to look up to in this campaign. Sarah Palin is the ONLY major-party candidate in this election who's more American Way than Washington Beltway. Perfect? Of course not. But given the choice between the two major-party tickets, I have to say, I think the choice is pretty clear. Only one of those tickets has a real, non-Washington, non-business-as-usual name on it.
