LOOK OUT AMERICA, HERE COMES SARAH PALIN, WOW!!!!
NOW THIS IS CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!!!
What a godsend this woman is. I cannot believe that people don't see that this hockey-mom is just what we need at the highest levels of government. ONE OF US.
Not someone who is packaged and sold to us as ONE OF US.
But a walking, talking, living, breathing examples of just the kind of people we keep hearing that politicians should be most concerned about. US!!!
A politician who doesn't just talk the talk, she walks the walk.
Whether it's about bringing about change, ethics, fighting corruption and bureaucracy in government, about being a pro-life advocate. This woman gets it.
Hopefully, people will give her a chance to demonstrate her abilities and positions and her vision, because we do need someone like this--not only a heartbeat away from the presidency--but IN THE PRESIDENCY.
SARAH PALIN,YOU GO GIRL!!! Republicans have had the fire burning in their hearts for another Ronald Reagan to lead them and now they just may have found her. They questioned his qualifications to lead once too. HAHAHAHA.
This woman doesn't just talk about change and improving the lives of those she governs, SHE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT. SHE GETS RESULTS. Ask the members of the community activists constituency what SPECIFICALLY he did to improve their lives on the South Side of Chicago. NOTHING. Their lot is the virtually the same as when he arrived and later left them for bot higher ground and higher office.
Ask the political watchdogs whether the agent for change who champions ethics in government, what he did about CORRUPTION in the Chicago city government. It would be hard not to find any corruption, ask any Chicagoan. But it is hard to fight it or expose it or change the culture, especially if you feel you may need those people to get along, or to get ahead. WHAT SORT OF CHANGE WAS MADE IN THE CHICAGO POLITICAL LANDSCAPE? NONE. HOW ABOUT AT THE STATE LEVEL, WHERE THERE SEEMS TO BE A REVOLVING DOOR FRO THE GOVERNORS MANSION TO THE STATE PENITENTIARY LATELY? NO CHANGE THERE LATELY EITHER.
Sorry, I don't see this change that these people speak of. I guess just talking a good game is enough for some people. Me? I'm more of a results guy.
And I'm not sure that I've ever hear a anything more cynical then choosing a church or a mentor, like the Rev. "God-damned America" Wright, in order to advance your career. Doesn't seem like a real good reason to join a church. And then jettison it when the going got tough for you.
Ask the people of Alaska whether Sarah Palin has changed their government or changed their lives in the short time she has been their Governor.
WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THIS. The media and the Obama-ites a re highlighting the thinness of this woman's resume, but it seems to me as if she has ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHED more than the windbag from the Windy City has in the years he went from community organizer, to state senator, to U.S. Senator.
So who has the thin resume once you account for RESULTS!! What a great day to be an American.

SOME COMMENTS FROM NATIONAL LEADERS REGARDING PALIN:
"Before, they were excited about her, with the Down syndrome baby," conservative, anti-tax activist Grover Norquist said. "But now with this, they are over the moon. It reinforces the fact that this family lives its pro-life values."
Palin and John McCain oppose abortion and have supported promoting abstinence in schools, which would seem to make Bristol Palin's pregnancy an inconveniently timed development.
But she is keeping the child, a fact that could make the Alaska governor -- whose candidacy has been enthusiastically embraced by evangelicals who regard her as one of their own -- even more popular among that key GOP voting bloc.
"Fortunately, Bristol is following her mother and father's example of choosing life in the midst of a difficult situation," Family Research Council president Tony Perkins said. "We are committed to praying for Bristol and her husband-to-be and the entire Palin family as they walk through a very private matter in the eyes of the public."
"This is the pro-life choice. The fact that people will criticize her for this shows the astounding extent to which the secular critics of the pro-life movement just don't get it," Land said in a statement.
"Those who criticize the Palin family don't understand that we don't see babies as a punishment but as a blessing. Barack Obama said that if one of his daughters made a mistake and got pregnant out of wedlock, he wouldn't want her to be punished with a child. Pro-lifers don't see a child as punishment."
Most important for Palin, an elder statesman of the movement, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, released a statement lauding the Palins for acting in keeping with the group's policies and practices:
"We have always encouraged the parents to love and support their children and always advised the girls to see their pregnancies through, even though there will of course be challenges along the way. That is what the Palins are doing, and they should be commended once again for not just talking about their pro-life and pro-family values, but living them out even in the midst of trying circumstances.
"Being a Christian does not mean you're perfect. Nor does it mean your children are perfect. But it does mean there is forgiveness and restoration when we confess our imperfections to the Lord. I've been the beneficiary of that forgiveness and restoration in my own life countless times, as I'm sure the Palins have," Dobson said.
"The media are already trying to spin this as evidence Gov. Palin is a 'hypocrite,' but all it really means is that she and her family are human," Dobson said. "They are in my prayers and those of millions of Americans."
