I am so impressed by the selection of Sarah Palin for the R vice presidency spot that for the first time in my life, I will slap a political sticker on my car!
Let’s take a look at the Veep candidate, shall we?
She took on the corrupt Alaska boys club, and won: “When it came to that Bridge to Nowhere, I said ‘thanks, but no thanks.’ If we need a bridge, we’ll build it ourselves.”
Disgusted by the previous Governor’s use of taxpayer money to buy a business jet, she sold that fucker on eBay days into her administration (the jet, not the Governor).
Her hubby is a champion snowmobile racer.
She owns her own float plane, and she ice fishes.
They have five kids, one of whom is in Iraq.
Her favorite food is MOOSE STEW, that she hunts HERSELF.
Obama may talk change, but Palin delivered it. Palin succeeded in politics by fighting corruption, Obama is a product of it.
I have gone from mildly apathetic to borderline enthusiastic!
I guess you could say, I’ve got some … hope!

First the Supremes, now this: It’s shaping up to be a Heller of a year. No wonder the other side is Palin’! :D

You know, at first I thought I might be laying it on a little thick for Palin, but if she can get mean ‘ol “Screw Politics” Tam all hopey and giddy and doodling hearts and rainbows in her schoolbook, then maybe there’s a there there.

Until today, my vote was going to be against Obama/Biden. Now in November my vote will actually be FOR McCain/Palin. You know from the brilliant Youtube.com ads, his mopping of the floor with Obama at Saddleback, and now this VP choice, I’m beginning to be impressed with the old man. I might even contribute funds!

I read on another blog that her nickname is “Barracuda” - watch out Biden! Yow!

Mathman nailed it. McCain’s WAY inside Obama’s OODA loop.

She’s not perfect - for one thing, she voted for Alaska’s windfall profit tax..
Course, she’s lightyears ahead of most other candidates.

But, but, she’s so ultraconservative, and against a women’s right to kill the baby^Wparasite inside her! And she doesn’t have much experience!

I laugh about that “lacks experience” BS that the Obama bin Biden campaign has been spewing. What gives one more experience in running the USA, do nothing terms in congress or being a state Governor? The only thing Obama nad Biden ever ran is their mouths.
What’s more, Palin acually has notable accomplishments to her credit, unlike Obama and Biden.
