Palin and defense contractor dine to support wounded troops

During the time Governor Palin electrified the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, she dined with a defense contractor at a restaurant owned by a former US Marine. The venue and the dinner guest could not have been more Providential. Cathy Maples, President, R & D Electronics won the dinner with a $63K bid in a Ride2Recovery charity auction to benefit wounded soldiers, which we covered in a prior interview.

Devito: When we last spoke, I had asked, “Though the principal purpose of a dinner such as this is to help wounded veterans, you will be in Gov. Palin’s company for up to four hours….please elaborate on your opinion and support of her.”

You responded….”I like that she is for smaller government, less taxes and the government being on the side of the people. She understands that the Senators, Congressional people, and the President are hired by the people to work for the people (I don’t believe some in Washington are aware of that any longer, they belittle the opinions of the voters). I believe she would listen to the people who elected her and want what is best for our country in lieu of politics as usual in Washington.”

Having dined with Gov. Palin, has being in her company reinforced your conviction that she would listen to the people who elected her, and do what is best for our country? If yes, why and how so?

Maples: “Yes, she is very personable and honest. She has integrity and virtue, something that is hard to find in a politician.”

Which is why the Progressives in both the GOP and the Democrat party are working so hard to destroy her.

Thanks for the ping.

Sarah Palin and The TEA Party, regardless of what Big Media says, will drive the Nov elections and then focus on changing the resident of the White House.

(Never been first on any ping list - Woo Hoo!)

“I liked McCain’s platform, “Country First,”

“I respect McCain and Palin for their morals and the fact they don’t compromise them even if it is unpopular.”

“I wish the people of America would invite God back to our country before it is to late.”

Not criticizing, just saying.

>>>> "I liked McCain's platform, "Country First," <<<<

I didn't, it appeared trite & silly to me, an example of extremely poor jingoism.

Therefore, I wasn't surprised to learn, in a review about Meg Whitman's recent autobiography, that that utterly insipid, "Country 1st!!!!" was entirely HER idea.

And who's going to argue with a billionaire, or tell her that she's trite & silly & BORING??
