Palin raises McCain

I don't usually get into the whole political dialogue. Talking politics with people requires way too much research to keep abreast of all the issues and candidates and blah, blah, blah. To me, at this point in my life, it's just not worth it. I find it enough to support politicians who support the main ideals that I do: the 2nd amendment, anti-abortion, and traditional marriage.

With that said, I will now express how awesome it is that Sarah Palin is McCain's VP pick. First of all, she is from Alaska. I'm not biased or anything, but she gets major points just for that fact alone. She not only supports gun rights, but unlike most politicians who try to pander to gun totin' Americans, she actually knows how to operate one and has done so. I hear tell that she has a bear pelt on her couch which she obtained for herself. No small task. She is also intelligent, and has iron determination; I think her pit bull analogy is much closer to her character than people realize. She is also a real world mom. Unlike other female (and otherwise) political figures, Sarah Palin hasn't lost touch with the real world. She really is a fresh face in the political scene. And, from what has happened in Alaska during her governorship, it seems that she gets things done. Go Alaska!

I wasn't too excited about McCain before, but because of Palin, he will get my vote.

I'll also add that I do not support Obama. When he said that "[people] cling to guns and religion because they are bitter," he revealed himself--for the first time to my eyes--as an elitist who does not believe in the ideals upon which this country was founded, and he has nothing in common with the roots of American society. He's popular because he is charismatic and a media darling, but I think he would be a disaster as President.
