OK, I will answer Spuddering out West's questions (see comments on last post) and then say no more about it. Mitt Romney, I would love to see Bro. Romney as president. Not too likely to happen. Where everyone seems to be wetting themselves over electing "the first Black president" there is still lots of predigest against Mormons. You saw it in the primaries when McCain and Rev. Huck-a-bomb teamed up to destroy Romney. It's still OK to hate the religion people choose to follow, note rumors about BO being Muslim.
Now about Mrs. Palin's policies. She is a life member of the NRA and it isn't just show. She actually knows how to shoot and goes hunting. Her son is in the military so I infer that she would support the military and the troops. She is "pro-life". She demonstrated that by having her last baby even though she was told it would be "special needs". She goes to church and isn't afraid to admit it. She asks for Gods guidance often. She is against corruption period, whether it is done by a Dem. or Rep.. She is for lower taxes as demonstrated by her eliminating property tax in the town she was mayor of. I call all those principals Conservative.
What does she bring to the party? Well, she is a self made woman. Her husband hasn't held any public office and isn't a billionaire. She rose from the PTA level and still had the sensibilities of a mother who wants to make things better for her kids. She is REAL! She did make the mistake of letting McCain's people "package" her. The same people that got in her head and told her to toe the McCain line are now complaining to the more-than-willing-to-listen media about how difficult she was to "manage" and how she would go "rogue" on them like when she needed diapers and had them stop at a Wal-Mart to run in and get them herself. Self-important people don't plan out to stop at a Wal-Mart to get diapers and knows just what isle they are in.
As far as firing her Ex-brother-in-law. He was not fired he was on leave until an investigation was concluded. She was asked by the police, as Governor do you have anyone who has threatened you OR YOUR FAMILY. She replied that her sister was threatened by her estranged husband that he would "kill her father". That would be Mrs. Palin's father as well. The man also "tazered" his daughter (Mrs. Palin's niece) in his patrol car. Mrs. Palin was simply answering questions about who might be a threat to her or her family. By the way she was cleared of any wrong doing the day before the election. Weird timing I say.
About the librarians and book banning. She was accused of wanting to ban books that weren't even published when she was mayor. Pure fabrication.
Still with me?
About the bridge to nowhere. It really was a bridge to somewhere but she's no dummy. The Senators got the money she just decided to use it on other road improvements. Why is one man's pork another man's taking care of his district? I don't condone that sort of thing but many people get elected and re-re-reelected promising to bring home the bacon. This I wonder about myself.
Now all of her high priced clothing. That was the RNC (Republican National Committee) that bought her all those cloths which she is in the process of giving back. By the Way has anybody asked how much Michelle Obama spends on cloths? How much does Mr. Obama's suits cost and Mrs. Clintons pants suits. Not to say "they do it too!" but why is it even an issue?
Is she smarter than a fifth grader? I think that if I was suddenly thrown into the public eye and was told by people who worked for my "boss"; "don't say this","don't say that","answer this way","turn your head just so","Don't screw up!". And then I was placed in front of hot lights and TV cameras and was grilled by someone who I knew was trying to get me for over an hour and a half. The chances that I would have trouble answering their questions would be rather high. By the way the "media" only used the three minutes that were most damaging to her of the hour and a half interview. I'm sure that if I was interview (interrogated) for an hour and a half they could probably come up with three minutes of stuff that made me look stupid (more like 85 minutes).
Does she support our standards? Well, I know she claims to be Christian (Pentecostal I think). She has a daughter who needs to get married real soon but that never happens to "good families". How can you really know anyone in the public eye or believe what the media tells you. You just have to study things out in your mind, study things out on your knees and go with your best guess.
Do I want her to run for president in 2012? Sure. Do I want Mitt Romney to run? Yes! In this last election the only person on the national stage who I felt was "real" and "Conservative" and best reflected my beliefs, principals, and values was Sarah Palin and that is the only reason I voted.
Well, Library Ninja, maybe we should stick to discussing the weather and other safe topics this year. You had a good idea there.
Please note I am not upset at anyone I just feel the media has done a bang-up job on getting their guy elected and destroying the opposition.
Peace and love to everyone!

I continue to pray that Sarah Palin is who she seems to be. What she may lack in "world" experience, she more than makes up for by being smart and conservative. The rumors about the high dollar clothes and the disgruntled aides snide remarks about what she doesn't know are proof that there isn't anything more substantial to use against her. Believe me if there were we'd hear about it. We've had a little storm in a teacup here regarding the school board election, that shows me the extent of personal anger and vindictiveness in politics. If it's this bad in little old SV imagine the s**t that goes on in the big bad world of national politics. "Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear!"
I thought it was very silly that Palin was batted around. If that is the only thing they could come up with then Palin must be pretty darn good! I have no desire to be Governor of any State so any woman who wants to handle that has my admiration!
You were right about the media. I would turn it off because of that.
My whole point wasn't that I am against Palin in general, but that they handled the campaign wrong. They were too busy making her out to be someone that she wasn't (Dressing her up in cloths she wouldn't normally wear, telling her what she sould and shouldn't say, and limiting the media and debates). She herself stated that she loves to be debated and confront the media with her ideas and has made her career doing so, but she wasn't allowed by her handlers to do so. The allowed her to be made to look dumb and uninformed and did nothing to change that perspective. So who is the real Sarah Palin? She was succesful in Alaska, lots of land but not so many people and many of the issues in Alaska are unique to them not the lower 48. Most only 2-3 years ago said that they could never see a black man w/ a musslim upbringing being elected as President so who knows if a Mormon could be elected in 4 yrs. Palins biggest hurdle now would be having been part of a failed campaign that was mis-handled (didn't set straight fast enough the personal attacks against her, nor let her be herself which is the only way we would know what we are getting)and failed to focus on ways to improve the economy fast enough. I too voted the more conservative ticket and felt she was an asset, but not enough to overcome the mis-steps and Bush hating that predominated the media.

Hey Spud bud, it's hard to get the feeling of what people are trying to say just by typing. I'm not mad or anything I just want all the crap the media is spewing to be countered.
