Governor Sarah Palin! Or, actually, what she signifies.
We've often stated on FR that if the Republicans would only run true conservatives then we'd win more elections. We'd keep the White House, build conservative majorities in congress, replace liberal activist judges with original intent constitutionalists, and eventually overturn Roe v Wade and begin rolling back some of the damage inflicted upon our beloved republic by the socialists and liberals.
John McCain's bold choice of the unabashed pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-liberty, small government, strong defense, fiscal conservative, Sarah Palin, signifies a return to conservatism within the Republican Party.
And the fact that Republicans and conservatives of every stripe, including the Christian right are flocking to her side and that the conservative grassroots has been re-energized literally overnight is proof that when offered the choice of truly conservative candidates, conservatives and Republicans will react accordingly.
Even though I've stated in the past that I would not vote for McCain, I will be supporting this ticket. Governor Palin is a God-fearing, kick butt conservative and I'd much rather have her advising and standing in the wings for the presidency than Joe Biden. I'll definitely pull the lever for her. And I'll do all I possibly can to keep the America-hating Marxist Barack Hussein Obama out of the White House.
Do it for Life. Do it for Liberty. Do it for our troops. Do it for America!
Like 99% of all other issues, I agree with you on this vote.
What is that on his face?
If McCain is on the ticket... I guess I'll have to live with that.
“...... we have Reagan in the wings...”
and I’ll just bet he’s whispering in the ears of all conservatives in this land.
Now we need to get more Republicans registered. As I’ve been told, the Democrats have us outnumbered.
I listened to his speech and found that he offered absolutely nothing new. Well, nothing new for McCain. He said the same old thing he has always said. And it was then I realized that I could trust McCain. At least I could trust McCain to always be McCain.
There are few politicians we can trust to know where they will stand on an issue and even fewer that will not sell their out their ideals. McCain is one of those men. And though I often am at odds with his opinion, I will never have to worry about McCain selling out America.
That is why I am not voting for Palin nor am I voting against Obama, I will be voting for Sen. John McCain.
The phone guy laughed knowingly in response.

Oh so true...yet every few years..so many, the Party have to relearn this simple truth.
I agree. McCain turns my stomach,I can’t even stand his voice, did not watch his speech. But I have to vote for the Governor. She is awesome.
He has a temper, likes the dems too much and all that, but the fact that he would go out on a limb like this, say no to Lieberman and Ridge, I can only say, what a guy!
Jim, the morning after Palin’s speech I ordered my bumpersticker. For his choice alone, McCain deserves our vote.
“...I also think we may well be seeing a future POTUS in Sarah Palin...”
I agree and I’m especially glad that the first female president will be a Republican. I couldn’t be happier!
Let’s see — does that make me a sexist or a racist? sarc
— Jane
But with Palin on the ticket, I'm suddenly psyched! We may have found our very own Iron Lady!
God has blessed us all, Jim...thank you for the good works and service you have provided all of us!

Flip Flop - Flip Flop!!! ROFLMAO Glad to see you feeling better.
I too will vote McCain because of his VP choice whereas before I would not support McCain.
“McCain owes a huge debt of gratitude to the conservative base who got on board with Palin long before the media tick off middle America.”
“This only shows that he owes the base a debt of gratitude and a return on our investment.”
They both expressed gratitude for those who supported them before, and hopefully will after. Senator McCain took a pause in his speech, and asked for all Veterans to hold their hats high, after one veteran had been holding his hat high, and cheering, and gotten the Senator’s attention.
It wasn’t the fact that they both said what would be ‘expected’ at such a function, it was how they said it.
With openness, empathy, and sincerity. With that tone that “I mean it.”
“Do it for Life. Do it for Liberty. Do it for our troops. Do it for America!”
Hell yeah!
Ditto, what you said.
