I'm not sure why anyone who gives this woman a fair hearing and is being honest with themselves does not come away entirely impressed with her. The pro-choice crowd shows it's true colors when they choose to attack someone who makes a choice other that that which they espouse. Pro-life is a perfectly legal, moral and ethical position. It is attacked simply because it is different from the pro-choice viewpoint. You almost cannot get any more un-American then that. It's a political oxymoron for the pro-choice crowd to be attacking a person's choice.
Anyway, here is a little ditty to honor the brightest, freshest face to hit politics in quite some time. Any resemblance to a similar song by Heart is purely coincidental.

Sarah Barracuda
McCain has a new friend
I thought he was dead….…today
You simply took our hearts away
Handles a gun
Chooses pro-life
And change – Sarah never fails
You bring real change to your community
I bet you’ll do the same in D.C
You’ll have them down, down, down, down on their knees
Now won’t you? Sarah Baracuda?
Back in the day, good old boys reined
Selling their integrity
You took the reigns, and showed them the way
To tell right from wrong, You sent them all home
And then came, better days
Now if the rad jet don’t do the trick
You better put it on e-bay real quick
You’re gonna change, change, change, change, change DC politics
Ahhhhhhhh, Sarah Baracuda
Grease us, grease you, the good old boys said
Make no waves and you get ahead
You…I think you changed the game on them too
Pit-bulls snarl and small town charm
With a hockey mom’s grit
Looks like a winner – no time for silly fools
Now if the rad jet don’t do the trick
You better put it on e-bay real quick
You’re gonna change, change, change, change DC politics
Ahhhhhhhh, Sarah Baracuda
I <3 (HEART) SARAH PALIN
--------------------------
So, if the Democratic primaries did not illustrate vividly enough that they are the party that sees color and gender and uses it as a wedge to cloud their decision making, then the reaction to Sarah Palin has clinched the deal. I'm disgusted with myself that I even gave a moments thought to considering Obama as a candidate. From the moment of Hillary Clinton's speech to the DNC, my opinion is they chose the wrong candidate. She should have demonstrated that sort of passion and excitement long ago.
It seems like choice means their choice. Only Democrats can offer a woman candidate suitable to the American political palate. Or an African-America candidate for that matter.
Nobody knows for sure who was further down McCain's veep list, but another rising star in the Republican party who would have made an outstanding pick as well, is Representative J.C. Watts (R-OK):
-------------------------------------------
J.C. WATTS NOTES FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Watts captured national attention in 1996 with a speech before the Republican national convention, when he said, "You see character does count. For too long we have gotten by in a society that says the only thing right is to get by and the only thing wrong is to get caught. Character is doing what's right when nobody is looking."
Continuing to be a rising star for the national Republican Party, Watts was selected in 1997 to deliver the Republican response to President Bill Clinton's State of the Union Address. In an interview with the Washington Post, Watts chastised some black Democrats and civil rights leaders as "race-hustling poverty pimps", whose careers he said depend on keeping blacks dependent on the government.
In 1998, Watts was chosen by the Republican House Leadership to be the chairman of the House Republican Conference, the fourth highest position of leadership in the House of Representatives (behind the Speaker, the Majority Leader, and the Majority Whip).
Watts has been critical of the Republican party's 2008 presidential candidates because they "don't show up" for black voters:
“Republicans want to say we reach out. But what we do instead is 60 days before an election, we'll spend some money on black radio and TV or buy an ad in Ebony and Jet, and that's our outreach. People read through that.”
-------------------------------
It's becoming apparent that this is not your father's or grandfather's Republican Party anymore.
GO MCCAIN-PALIN 2008!!!
