• I was THERE!

  As you’re probably all aware by now, McCain’s VP choice is Alaska’s governor, Sarah Palin. (unless you came straight to my site for your latest and most exciting news… in which case you might need mental help.)

  As some of you know, I was at the rally where he made the announcement.

  

  First, let me start by saying, if you go to a  Democratic rally and shout  ugly comments, the  people there will give you dirty looks and yell things at you.  But at a Republican party rally, you’ll get punched in the face.  As Senator McCain came onto the stage to make his announcement, some idiot started yelling obscenities at him, saying something about “go back to Hanoi.” (which just tells me he’s the lowest schmuck on the planet.) At first, people were throwing garbage at the man, but as the man persisted, he had to be escorted out by the men in dark suits because several large men in the crowd were heading over to him, shouting something about “Shut you up with my fist!” Once the man was removed, the whole crowd cheered and McCain (who was trying to remain polite and professional) gave a little smirk. 

   Outside the rally, there was a large group of protestors shouting rudeness with the most ignorant banners I’ve ever seen.  So I embarrassed my husband by shouting, “Go home you friggin liberal hippies!”   To which the crowd around us laughed and jeered at the protestors. I don’t believe Derek will go to anymore rallies with me. You see, my voice is sore from yelling  so long and loud at the rally and Derek is embarrassed easily.  I’m told my voice carries well. Derek’ s face was red and his shirt was white and blue.  How patriotic.

   Meanwhile, my opinion on McCain’s running mate is :HOORAH! If you don’t know much about Mrs. Palin:

  

  -She’s been governor of the US’s largest state, Alaska, for nearly a year and city mayor of Juno for several years.   (So right off the bat, she’s already got more experience as a VP than the Dem’s choice for president.)

  -She’s a mother of five children and extremely pro-life. 

  -Her eldest son is currently heading to Iraq to serve his first deployment.

  -She’s cut Alaska’s state debt by over a BILLION dollars.

  -She’s an enemy of what she calls “Good Ol’ Boy” politics and has proven it by the maverick way she’s run her state. There’s a saying: “The fields of Alaska are littered with the bodies of those who crossed Sarah Palin.”

  -Her nickname is Sarah “Barracuda” and for good reason. When she sees a business injustice, a social injustice or any other sort of wrong-doing, she gets after the person causing the problem and shuts them down.

  Growing up in a small town, she’s always stood up for what’s right.  I realize that unless something happens to the President, a VP doesn’t have much of a job, but regardless of what her position may be- she’ll do a fantastic job.

  Not only that, McCain- you clever dog.

  When people said you were too old, you picked a VP who is very young.

  When people said you were too liberal for the conservative republican ticket, you picked a VP that  was in NO WAY liberal in any measure. I’m feeling more and more republican everyday. Until now, I was eyeballing the Libertarian party.

  When people were upset that they couldn’t get a woman (Hillary) into the White House, you fixed it to make history: the first woman vice president.

  A well played chess move, Mr. McCain. Well played. I think both McCain and Palin have one heck of a journey ahead of them, however, they’re both famous for not backing down.

   The dems are already releasing statements about how little  experience Sarah P has… but she’s already got more than double the experience of the Democratic candidate.  They need to toe the line here. When their candidate decides he wants to play nice and “talk”  with the terrorists who bomb our cities, our candidate and his Veep will already be blowing the asses off the terrorists. Negotiations… bah.

  By the way, I was so psyched to get so close to the stage.. I was going to record McCain’s announcement as he said it and post it here for you guys. But as he was just about to say Sarah’s name, my battery died. So enjoy the fifteen seconds of McCain  *before* he said his VP’s name.
