SARAH PALIN - THE REAL REFORMER

Did you see Obama and Biden being interviewed the day after the Big Extravaganza .. minus the makeup and fireworks! Biden looked like he was about to cry and Obama stammered and said Palin was “the same”. The same! Governor Palin is about as far as you can be from Washington and has a record of accomplishment that Sen. Obama cannot match. Gov. Palin has spent her time in office shaking up government in Alaska and achieving results. Palin has taken on corruption, passed ethics reform, stopped wasteful spending and the `bridge to nowhere’. Obama has spent most of his time in the Senate running for President. Palin has been in elected office for over 10 years with executive experience as a Governor, Mayor, head of the Alaska National Guard, and head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.

The Democrats are asking how we can have an individual with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the Presidency, meanwhile neglecting to mention that their candidate also has zero foreign policy experience and is running for the TOP of the ticket, NOT EVEN a heartbeat away! Obama talks about “yes we can” and “change”, yet Sarah Palin is the one who has brought about change and reform. She has shown what it means to be a true reformer.

As head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, Palin exposed ethical violations by the state GOP chairman, also a fellow commissioner. She is an ardent advocate for more drilling — off Alaska, off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and in the off-limits Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. She pushed for more competition for the construction of a $26 billion pipeline to bring natural gas from the North Slope to the lower 48 states by favoring the TransCanada pipeline project, backed by independent companies over one proposed by BP and ConocoPhillips. She has tangled with Exxon Mobil and other oil companies over their reluctance to develop gas fields on state land.

“As governor, I've stood up to the old politics as usual, to the special interests, to the lobbyists, the big oil companies, and the good-old-boy network,'' she said at a rally yesterday in Dayton, Ohio, where she was introduced by McCain.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is now running with McCain as his choice to be vice-president. She is a tax-cutting, pro-drilling, environmentalist, gun defending, pro-life mother of five with a son in the Army about to be deployed to Iraq. "She's exactly who this country needs to help me fight the same old Washington politics,'' McCain said.

Obama said that change doesn't come "from Washington, it comes TO Washington”. Strange that both Obama and Biden, are “from Washington”. Sarah Palin is coming “TO Washington” and is a breath of fresh air!

WILL YOU WATCH?

I wish I could bear to watch Michelle Obama tonight tell us how proud she is of her country. I just can’t watch. I know she will extol the virtues of her husband, as well she should, but I don’t believe a word she will say, so I just can’t listen. I’m not that strong. I’m not that naïve. I wonder what she’ll say now, after she wrote a letter in 2004 denouncing a federal law banning partial-birth abortion, writing that "this ban on a legitimate medical procedure is clearly unconstitutional”. The Supreme Court later found that law constitutional. Tonight she’ll have a big smile on her face. Not her usual scowl. Everything will be glorious. I just can’t watch.

IS THIS THE CHANGE YOU WERE HOPING FOR?

I anxiously awaited the news about who would be Obama’s choice for Veep, might it still be Hillary? Why would Obama pick the candidate who got 9,000 votes in the primary, vs. the candidate who received 18 million votes in the primary? Now we know. It’s not Hillary! It is Joe Biden, a lifetime member of the Washington establishment. Obama made this selection to try to compensate for his own weakness on foreign and national security policy, especially after his bungled comments on the Russia/Georgia events which he changed every day as he realized that he didn’t know what he was talking about. Biden also was selected to gives us the reassurance that Obama is not so far out of America’s mainstream. Maybe we’ll forget about Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers, and Tony Rezko.

Obama’s answer to most every question is to tell us about his wonderful judgment, exemplified in the fact that he never voted for the war with Iraq. (Meanwhile he wasn’t in the Senate yet and didn’t have the opportunity to vote on the war.) He would probably have voted “Present” anyway rather than take a real stand. Does he remember that Joe Biden did vote for the war with Iraq? Does he think that means that Joe Biden has poor judgment, but chose him to be his running mate anyway for political reasons?

Is this the change you were hoping for?

WHAT'S FAIR ABOUT THE "FAIRNESS DOCTRINE"?

What’s fair about the so-called “Fairness Doctrine”? Nancy Pelosi and her legion want to silence conservative talk radio because they know they can’t compete. Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, have the audacity to consider it “fair” to call for government censorship to curtail free speech in their desire to have 100% control of ALL media. If it were fair, Liberals and Conservatives would have equal time on the main stream media, the network news, the major newspapers, and the universities, instead of being almost totally biased in FAVOR OF LIBERALS. Fortunately the Media Research Action Team (MRC) delivered more than 192,000 petitions to Congress before Nancy Pelosi turned out the lights and left town for a five-week paid vacation, paid by US taxpayers. Please stand with me and keep watch for news about the Fairness Doctrine, sign petitions, and call your representatives when they finally return from their vacation. If Barack Obama is President, and the Congress and Executive Branch are totally controlled by Democrats, say hello to the “Fairness Doctrine” and goodbye to free speech!

WHAT HAPPENED TO "ANYWHERE, ANY TIME"?

“If John McCain wants to meet me anywhere any time to have a debate about our respective policies in Iraq, Iran, the Middle East or around the world, that is a conversation I am happy to have…” In May, when a McCain adviser proposed a series of pre-convention appearances at town hall meetings, Obama said, “I think that’s a great idea.” Now that John McCain has challenged Obama to ten town hall meetings around the country, Obama is singing a different tune! Oh sorry .. Obama did suggest a town hall meeting July 4 at 9pm! Obama’s people want Lincoln-Douglas type debates where each candidate speaks for a specified time. Why do you think Obama changed his mind about the free-flowing town hall format? Could it be Obama and his people know Obama would fall flat on his face without soaring rhetoric in a pre-scripted speech?

WAKE UP AMERICA

We have a choice between two very different candidates. One is a man of integrity, character, honor and patriotism. One who will put love of his country before his own life. John McCain has shown courage most of us can never imagine. The other is an unknown, both inexperienced and untested. What we are learning about Barack Obama gets more frightening every day. Can our beloved country afford someone who doesn’t understand the nature of our enemies? Someone who one day thinks Iran is a tiny country which doesn’t pose a threat to us, and two days later remembers that he has always said Iran is a grave threat. Someone who changes his mind every day after he learns what he should have said the day before.

Wake up America .. don’t let our beautiful country be taken over by the far left. It’s up to each of us to be informed and make our voices heard!
