Sarah is a much-needed breath of fresh air for the political process. She is honest and direct; articulate and poised and has great energy. She is one who does instead of says; and we need people who have the real American background of having actually WORKED in a business instead of doing something on the public dole. As we discover more of Obama’s work years; we see how he used his charisma and oral skill to climb; and he relies on the left media to keep his deeds obscure. It is not necessarily commission but the huge O – omission of anything that approached reform when he could have done things.

And let’s not forget…Alaska’s proximity to Russia is plenty of National Security experience, at least according to Cindy McCain.

You and Sarah are awesome! I am pleasantly surprised and quite excited about Gov. Palin, and so are very many of my fellow Catholics! Many of us were becoming resigned to either voting 3rd party or else not at all. We never expected McCain to choose Gov. Palin as his VP. But God has answered our prayers abundantly, all thanks and praise to Him!

Best regards,

She does NOT oppose birth control – nor do I.

I’m very exciited, and couldn’t be happier that McCain chose Palin!

I am pleased that Senator McCain chose an out of the box running mate, and even more pleased that she happens to be a woman.

But, there are things I DON’T have in common with Sarah Palin:

I do not own three homes

I am not anti-gay

I do not oppose birth control pills and condoms even for married couples

I do not advocate for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

I am not under investigation for an abuse of power in my state

I understand what the job of a VP is

I do not think the free market is the panacea for social problems, we need a human conscience in the mix

I am not a self-described ‘hockey mom’

I do not kill animals for sport

My favorite food is not moose stew

There are many excellent candidates out there, sadly Gov. Palin is not one of them. Palin against terrorism? Don’t think so.

She grew up in an Assembly of God church but her home church in Wasilla, Alaska is The Church on the Rock, which is non-denominational.

She is not a “non-denominational” Christian. She is a member of the Assemblies of God…a very right wing, very dominionist group.

Even moderate Christians should be afraid of this pick.
