Whoopee for Sarah Palin !
A smalltown girl from an ordinary background who believes in self help and aspiration. She is of course despised by the cognoscenti and ridiculed for her small town ways. How could someone who looks like that and who is folksy ever get anywhere and deal with the sophisticated world of the Capitol.
Well - that was Maggie. (Margaret Thatcher) A small town girl despised by the inherited wealth and those with position as of right - by the Toynbees of this world. Maggie took the World by storm. She faced a windbag called Kinnock too. We even have a parallel in Biden who plagiarised the Welsh Windbag's speech !
The race is still open. But do I want a war hero who will face up to the evil countries/isms of this world (Russia, China, Iran, Islamofascism etc) or a cafe latte liberal - in the White House ? Do I want a self important millionaire who thought Kinnock was worth copying or a pit bull with lipstick as VP ?
I say as an Englishman "Who do I want" even though I have no vote there. My freedom depends on who wins. NATO/EU are busted fluushes - just look at their craven behaviour over Georgia ! I would not have my freedoms today but for US leadership in WW1,WW2, WW3 (Cold War) and now in WW4 ( rogue states and Islamofascists).
God speed to John McCain and Sarah Palin.
