A Comment about Sarah Palin

We cannot allow the Media to choose our candidate. I have changed my opinion of Ron Paul, but he's still not Presidential Material . . . for a number of reasons, some of which I'll state here. My first reaction to him was that he was a kook. My second reaction was to ask a Texan what she thinks of him . . . and it was negative. If he can't win his home State can he win in a general election? I admire him for fighting to AUDIT THE FED. But he's just not got that "Reaganesque" quality about him as a Republican/Conservative MUST have to win the hearts of the people.

The one person that the Media hates with an all consuming vengeance and who has that Reaganesque quality is none other than Governor Sarah Palin. Her latest book isn't even on the shelves and she's #1 at Barnes and Noble and was #3 at Amazon yesterday. The first printing will likely be sold out before the book comes out on Nov. 17. Sarah Palin is not a "novelty," she is a "real" person who many people relate to. The Media have painted her as anathema and unfortunately some Conservatives have allowed themselves to be influenced by the Media instead of doing their own research to learn about her. There are similarities between Sarah Palin and Ronald Reagan. But Sarah is no Ronald. And anyone who tries to force her into a Reagan-mold will be disappointed.

Sarah Palin is "every woman." Not every Liberal Woman, but definitely "every woman" who has tried to raise a family while working. Real women (vs Fake Liberal Women) relate to her; they've had some of her struggles or know someone who has; many women have balanced working and raising a family; many families have had teen daughters who became pregnant out of wedlock and have admired her for standing with her daughter, no matter what. And many women have been reviled in some way similar to what has happened to Sarah Palin. Women who admire her have become a sisterhood who share unspoken similarities with her and with each other. When you have Solidarity, you don't even have to verbalize it.

One essence of Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin is "no matter what" ~~ No Matter What has gone on before, it can be fixed, it can be re-worked, it can be made into less of a burden on taxpayers, it can be used to create more jobs. The "can do" effort "no matter what." Reagan and Palin were not tied to an ideology, the ideology became their instrument for making things better. And I think that is something that Liberals and the Media cannot comprehend. They are joined at the hip with Liberal ideology. Reagan used the Conservative Agenda and created his own Agenda to make this Country a better place. And he did and many of us love him for it. I believe Sarah Palin is capable of the same kind of Leadership. She will not blindly follow an Agenda that doesn't do what's best for the Country any more than she did in Alaska. She will buck the system where the system is corrupt and just plain wrong-headed. And she is unafraid! She's not "owned" by the banks or lobbyists or labor unions or ACORN or Saudi Princes or anti-American ideology. Her allegiance is to God and Country . . . very much like the Founding Fathers . . . and I believe she is the best candidate to return this Nation to its roots and its foundation . . . The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.
