Sarah’s got what we need in D.C.


Published on Thursday, October 2, 2008 8:56 PM AKDT

I have been thinking about this election year and the choices we have for president and vice president. No matter what happens, we will have history in the making, but what happens with this historic moment is up to the people.

As I see it, when it comes to president we have two choices. We can vote for a veteran, a former POW and someone who is not ashamed of his country and who will salute the flag. This person would be John McCain. As a veteran myself, this is a very critical element.

We also have the choice as I see it … Osama … Obama ... what is the difference? They are both Muslims, and Muslims have been creating a lot of problems worldwide. He will not salute the flag, has no allegiance to our country and even in his book has stated that he is not a supporter of our country or anything we stand for.

Con men are eloquent speakers and can trick anyone into following their ways. Too many people are being swayed by the eloquent speech of this anti-American presidential candidate. He isn’t qualified to be president; he wasn’t even born in this country to American-born parents.

For vice president, we have a very incredible role model for young people, both boys and girls alike — Sarah Palin. Sarah might not have the experience in Washington, D.C., like [Joe] Biden does, but she is an average American.

She loves her country and loves this state. She will salute the flag, stand in honor of our veterans and can take on the good ol’ boys. She has proven this over and over again. Sarah isn’t afraid to call it as she sees it.

When it comes to Troopergate, as they call it, there isn’t one of us out there who would not have done what she tried to do to Wooten, if we had been in her shoes. She knows the troopers have personal issues that need to be cleaned out and resolved.

I have been a part of some of the same problems Molly faced with Wooten in my own household.  I know of several troopers I would try to have fired should I be placed in the same position as she was.  I would do what was necessary to protect my family and others from the abusive power of out-of-control troopers.  I say troopers plural, because there are probably at least a dozen of them that need to be fired, or harshly reprimanded. 

Sarah stood by the desire to have a baby despite the fact that she knew it was going to have Down Syndrome. Too many people these days do not see children as a gift from God, and don’t treasure them the way they deserve to be treasured and treated.  If any of you have spent any time with Sarah or spoken with her children, you are missing out. She is an incredible mother, and her children have a lot of respect for her.

She is a wife and mom that will not run for office, like governor or vice president, without the support of her family. No one can effectively run for a political office without their spouse and children’s support. It takes the whole family’s efforts to be an effective and good leader.  Sarah has proven that she can lead, that she can listen, and that she is a real person and a true American. Her people- friendly attitude and calm demeanor reminds me of someone else that was loved by all, and that person was Princess Diana.

There have been other leaders throughout history who have not had a lot of experience to hold an office such as this. I don’t believe experience is what we should be looking at here. I, for one, am tired of members in Washington forgetting where they came from.  Too many were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.

Sarah was born in a family with high work ethics and values. She was born into an average middle class family. She is one of us, she is an average American. I want someone in the White House, and in Washington, D.C., who knows what it is like to be an average American, because I know they will do what is necessary to fight for us and our needs.

Sarah will do great as vice president. She has my full support, my endorsement and my vote.

I am proud to be a Sarah Chick!!

    Wow, another meglomaniac for Palin! I am curious what office did you run for? Also, do you think Palin shares your views of the world..are you trying to show your allegience to her in hopes of future employment?

    You Wasillans should keep an eye on this person just in case she should try and run for office again..

    I do have faith that most of you know her and don't agree with her "views", however you should speak up if she is around your children. "

    " You sound like a Palin supporter. Relying on falsehoods and outright lies to scare people into believing as you do. All of the antiObama venom you spewed in your comments have been researched and proven false. Anyone with access to a computer, newspaper, news magazine, or a TV that can read, listen and comprehend knows this.

    Just what I want in a world leader someone with no understanding or experience of the issues. U betcha... "

    " Constant attacks on Sarah Palin. Sarah supporters always having to defend her. Cruel, ignorant, vicious attacks. Scared democrats that sound like Muslim terrorists wanting to destroy our country. I hear partiots fighting back trying to save our country.
    Both sides in a battle. Fighting, gnawing, gnashing of teeth, name calling. Back and forth. Onward Christian soldiers. Fight for your freedom. Here they come again. So many democratic haters. What can we do? Fight for your freedom. Their hate is strong. But we have McCain/Palin strength. "

    " The Muslim rumor was put to rest ages ago by everyone except Rush Limbaugh and Konnie "everyone should live my neocon fundamental way" Shuey. this is the same woman who actually ran for public office in the past. I think your right to voluteer in local schools and be around others children should be removed. I don't want you anywhere near mine! You are a racist and a bigot. Sooner or later a non-white possibly even Jewish,Wiccan or Atheist will hold the office of president. The constitution that neocons spout off about says it is ok! "

    " I see you left the local pub long enough to write and let us know of your ignorance, of many things.
    Palin is way out of her league, and I can't see how any good Alaskan can help but be embarrassed to even acknowledge her as our governor. She can't name a book or newspaper she reads, doesn't even remember the supreme court ruling, affecting Alaska, during her term, and wants to turn Alaska into an oil haven. God help us all. I don't want her back, but we will get her.

    " I agree with you with all but one thing and that is lumping all muslims in the same catagory.
    I do think it is sad that Obama keeps bringing up his African/American (and muslim) father, who did not raise him, and does not recognize his mother's side of the family at all. It is like another Halle Berry moment.
    My 10 year old even sees Obama's disrespect (and not "patriotism") to our country and servicemen by not saluting our flag.
    As for Sarah not being "qualified" for the position, Reagan, Carter and Clinton (to name a few)were just governors. "

    " I am proud to be a Sarah Chick too!! Masses texted their opinion in to Fox News 87% agreed Sarah won, 11% for Biden. At least 20 "undecided" people interviewed all agreed they were impressed and thought she had won. Give it up Obama fans your witch hunt is over. Sarah did us and herself proud. "

    This statement..the very essence of ignorance and intolerance. It's shameful and disgusting and hurts all of us.

    You may thnk you are being cute, and I'm sure that some may find you so, but let me asure you, I find you that are ignorant, ugly and rotten to the the very core. "
