It's been some time since I've posted anything on this race for the presidency. Today, I am so very proud to have witnessed John McCain's introduction of his Vice Presidential selection, Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin. I couldn't be more proud to be a Conservative at this moment. I knew of the Governor, but not much about her other than I knew she was a reformer, and most importantly to me, Pro-Life! I don't know how anyone could look at this courageous woman and not have deep respect for her courage and dedication to life and our human family. As you probably know by now, she just had her youngest son, Trig Paxson Van Palin, who is a Down's Syndrome child. The fact that she and her husband knew that this beautiful child was going to be born with special needs, and they still continued with the pregnancy tells a lot about this persons integrity and respect for human life. I'm sure there will be those out there who believe that you shouldn't bring into this world a child with any affliction, she and her husband believe, like so many of us that a human life is a child of God, no matter what physical or mental shape they may be faced with. They knew that there would be hardships with raising a special needs child, but they made the human choice to let God's miracle work. If you know any family who has had a Down's Syndrome child, as I have, you know that these children are so very special and wonderful. This choice by John McCain is one that we conservatives will hail as one proud moment in American history. It is the first time the GOP has had a female on any presidential ticket. I loved the way that Sarah honored Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton in her introductory speech. The women of America can be proud that we still have a dog in the race.
Sarah Palin also matches perfectly with John McCain's maverick stance. She has fought corruption and pushed for reform her entire political career, and from what I can tell, she is an outstanding choice to run at his side. I am sure that the left wing crazies will be attacking her as inexperienced, but she is the only person in this presidential race that has executive experience. They'll attack her because she has only been in the governor's office for less than two years, but she has been in elected office for 13 years. She is our rock star and we are proud to have her on on our team this historic journey! I am not a huge McCain fan, but I now have something to cheer about and am going to be proudly promoting the McCain/Palin ticket to everyone. I'll be back after work to eccentuate my extreme happiness with this selection
