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!
I knew you were going to post this a few months before you did.
Jim said it perfectly, this is coming from a former suicide voter who has now donated more to McPal than any previous candidate.
Amen!
Jim said it perfectly, this is coming from me, a former suicide voter who has now donated more to McPal than any previous candidate. We must NOT let B.Hussein lead the free world!
I like that! :-)
I would not put a McCain sticker on my vehicle. But yesterday, as soon as they became available, a McCain/PALIN sticker went on my vehicle.
I’m frustrated in finding the time ABC will be showing the interview with Gov Palin tonight. I’ve been told three different times and even the ABC website doesn’t list the time. Help.
Wonderful to see this endorsement. I was supporting McCain since he won the nomination for one overriding reason (see tagline) but now my support is very enthusiastic because Palin appears to represent a resurgence of Reaganism in our party.
May you someday be criticized in this way by your enemies:
“Congresswoman Jenerette? Bah! She’s just President Palin without the glasses.”
:-)
Yes Jim. :-) We cannot afford to give the Dems this election.
Jim I understand exactly. I’ve done the same thing. I’ve had to eat a lot of words because of the anger I had toward McCain, but like you, I have switched over because of Sarah Palin. She is exactly what the Republican Party has been needing. She is an answer to prayer.
I thought Conservatives were supposed to be racist, sexist pigs who would never allow blacks, hispanics or women to rise to such heights.

Sarah Palin
All have given lie to the liberal cries. For us, it’s about content of character. For them, it’s about color of skin (or in this case, presence of estrogen).
Welcome aboard big guy!
The very next morning after these words were spoken by J.M. one of the networks (I think it was CBS) showed him saying this and then implied that he was trying to agitate his supporters to fight with him... instead of the enemies of freedom such as the America hating "Community Organizers", agitators and lipstick liars!!!
I still pray that she'll be more influential than lap-dog Senator Lindsey Gramnasty on scoff-law immigration and Gore's Global Warming Hoax. It still keeps me from trusting him!!!
I’M with you! Great choice on Sarah Palin!
Go Sarah Barracuda!
I hope the Republican Party is listening...
I wish more of he Freepers who hate him would get a grip on this. I've come to a respect for him that I didn't have before, simply because of the presidential way he's conducted himself in the last 6 months. There is a strong core there.
What I don’t understand is with Palin now on the ticket the republican party is now energized. This tells me that the republican voters are more right wing then moderates. Why can’t we get rid of the moderate part of our party and replace them with true conservatives.
It's very simple, Pennsylvania is a Democrat state first and conservative only in small pockets in the south central part of the state. Casey Jr. made the voters think of his dad and vote with their memories of him instead of with their brains. Casey Jr. is not a senator, he is a yes-man for the Democrats. He has no mind of his own, but he does have the name of a much respected governor of this state.
If I were Rick, I'd run against him again and use his "yes-man" status against him. I'm sure that the same revolution that has swung this state toward McCain can be fueled to oust a do-nothing senator and replace him with one that was third in line in the leadership of the Senate.
While we're at it, Arlen can support Toomey as his hand-picked replacement.
I doubt McCain cares that much respect for Palin or her beliefs. It was simply a matter of had he picked anyone else like Ridge etc he had a sure loss coming his way. I'll likely go with Baldwin or possibly Barr. Barr worked his tail off trying to remove Clinton likely harder than any other House Manager the GOP in turn treated him and the others like crap. The GOP has not had such a pathetic choice for POTUS even since Gerald Ford and that says a lot about the health of the party. Like Bush before him POTUS McCain will do the DEM's work for them. Look for a Chris Dodd/McCain photo opp and a pledge to work together the day McCain is sworn in if he wins.
I knew you would come around Jim. I told someone after Sarah was picked that you would for sure. I just knew it !
God Bless America
