I am most curious. What was your course before Senator John McCain selected Governor Sarah Palin for his running mate.
The deal breaker for me before Palin was who would appoint Supreme Court Judges. As soon as I saw Obama's criteria for selecting Judges I knew I would be voting for John McCain.
In Obama’s words, "We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom," and "The empathy to understand what it's like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges."
Sarah Palin appeared as that rare political candidate who felt entirely comfortable serving the people she governed. She made me believe that as Vice President she would be equally comfortable putting her country first.
Sarah Palin caused me to re-exam what I had missed in John McCain’s previous campaigns. John McCain’s country first goal had been there all along but my distrust of the corrupted Democrat and Republican political parties caused me to overlook his purpose.
The nation has the rare opportunity to elect two people who believe their words to put country first.
Sarah Palin provided me a proud reason to work toward electing John McCain.
Actually, there was no course. Along with millions of like-minded conservatives, we were doomed to wander in the wilderness. Now at least there’s a prayer of a chance. And Sarah is an answer to that prayer.
