Sarah Palin is a pleasant surprise for those of us who had hoped that Senator McCain would pick a principled and authentic conservative pro-life leader. Sarah Palin is both principled and authentic. As a Governor, she also brings an important balance of understanding of the critical domestic issues that is needed and that the Democrats have ignored with their ticket. Governor Palin is smart, authentic, tough, and a dynamic choice that will remind women that they are not welcome on the Democrat’s ticket, they have a place with Republicans.

Mike Huckabee:
Thank God she’s not a Mormon!
Unrelated Huckabee bash coming in 5... 4... 3 ... 2 ...
Not his best crafted statement, bur welcome nevertheless.
Yawn....
I’m hoping he and his band perform again at our quadrennial Free Republic Inaugural Ball! Hey, President McCain will probably be busy that night, but maybe we could get Sarah and the First Dude to drop by for a dance. Heck, we like her a lot more than McCain anyway.
But she's a good pick anyway.
Romney will probably get called on for a cabinet post. Hucksterbee might get called as court jester.
It is calculated, like everything the flim flam big goobermint liberal does -- Schmuckabee is campaigning for a position in the McCain administration.
(((Mike!!)))
Like it or not, I’m sure a whole lot of pro-life conservatives hold the same opinion as Mike Huckabee.
Romney’s LDS faith would have been a huge downside for the ticket. Like it, or not!
Good Job Mike.
Now please leave.
Thank God she’s not a Mormon!
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Lets vote on it, should we treat her like the EVs have treated Mitt?
As an added bonus, she has a brand-new baby! Who doesn’t love a baby? Less than five months later and she’s ready to tackle running for VP of America? Wow!
And that husband! A manly-man! Twenty years and counting. He’s one lucky guy and so are we! :)
Just who is the "we" you refer to? Mormons? I guess EV's are Evangelicals. Yes-No?
FReepers seem to be supporting the choice of Sarah Palin. That means pro-life conservatives support Sarah Palin.
What is YOUR problem?
because you pinged me...what are EVs?
EV, short for Evangelicals.
Romney - Secretary of Education - to oversee the shutdown.
How about answering my question?
We also don’t have to hear the Huckster talk about which Christ he thinks she worships......
Romney - Secretary of Education - to oversee the shutdown.””
Not a bad idea.
How about Sec of State? I know he has the “gravitas”...
Like it or not? I hate all forms of bigotry, especially coming from a man that should have been better than that.
“Lets vote on it, should we treat her like the EVs have treated Mitt?”
I AM an Evangelical Bible believing Christian man. I am just disgusted by the out and out bigotry of my fellow Christians towards Mormons. I really hoped that my contemporarys were better than that and I believe that most are, it’s just the loudmouths that get heard most.
Intolerance is a frame of mind. I really don't anyone who is not a bigot to one extent or another.
OTOH, we're all entitled to our own opinions. After all, that's what America is all about.
She is Episcopalian but that does not matter Palin fits the ticket just right for this time of political climate.
Go Sarah...
I just know the Lord is directing traffic
Cheers!:)
So what do you think?
I fail to see how her being or not being LDS, Evangelical or Mormon is a station qualifier. I guess it just goes to show what was really at the top of Huckabee’s agenda and the bigotry that he very subtly shot Romney’s way that was from time to time echoed here. This statement however does not mean that all the LDS posters here need to backlash for we know what type of man Huckabee really is. A ringleader loser who won’t leave it alone and who was successful in finding the divisive issue within the Conservatives and exploiting it for his own perceived gains.
How about you?
John R. Bolton for Secretary of State.
Do you think they’re related? /sarc
So that is your version of fproy2222
They look like the fat Osmond family.
“They look like the fat Osmond family.”
Huckster don’t like being compared to Mormons.
Carry on.
Why? She didn’t have a flip-flopping past full of pandering and liberalism. If she did, we’d be treating her the exact same way.
But you go ahead and try your little games. Watch what happens.
I can see you are still lack manners
I have noticed that many of those who are so quick to accuse people of being Mitt-haters can’t want to spray venom at the mere mention of Mike Huckabee. Perhaps they could lead by example next time.
“John R. Bolton for Secretary of State.”
How about Lieberman as Secretary of Defense?
that would get the talking heads spinning!
Romney for anything other than Justice/Attorney General. I’d like to see him have a chance to prove his midnight conversion to run for president is real.

I for one am above that.
As the resident fly in the ointment, let me just say, thank heavens McCain didn’t go for Mitt.
As a Mormon, I didn’t oppose Mitt because of his faith, obviously.
I opposed him because of his pandering, his convenient fluidity on certain issues, and his all-too-convenient conversion to nominal conservatism. As a veep pick, I’m also glad that McCain didn’t go for another rich white guy.
Everything I have read and seen about Palin leads me to believe she is a solid conservative, a strong pro-life candidate, and very down-to-earth. I think “we” (LDS) should enthusiastically and wholeheartedly support her as VP.
Your mileage may vary.
Fred Thompson for Transportation.
Rudy will probably be Homeland Security but Norris would knock off all the BS even though he has no Gvmnt experience.
Fred Thompson for either SCOTUS or AG
but McCain is going to have his work cut out for him with the Senate. Let’s hope Palin can charm them!
Palin may be the best choice for President we have seen since Reagan.
Who cares if the Pukester likes her.

You know, I'm not all that fond of Baptists, myself. I didn't (and don't) like Romney, either, and it's not because he's Mormon. There are good people in every church, and bad people in every church. Palin looks like a good choice to me. Maybe not perfect, but in this world, who is? Certainly not me. BTW, I'm also a Mormon, and an ex-Baptist. I'm maybe not the best example of a Mormon around, but like I said about good and bad people in every church...
BTW I have bigtime Dem supporter business contacts who think that Hillary was promised SCOTUS if the Obamanation wins. That is the only reason they can think of for her rolling over like she did. They do not think there is enough money for her to take a dive like she did so it must be a very sweet deal.
