Real Change For America


McCain Palin--The Right Choice For America

The Maverick Presidential candidate earned his non-conformist stripes yesterday with a bold (albeit risky,) blockbuster, historic selection of an unknown, Governor of a small state as his Vice Presidential selection. Oh, did I mention she is a woman?

Republican Presidential candidate John McCain's choice of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin shocked the political punditry, experts in his own party and the Governor's own parents with his selection he announced yesterday before 15,000 boisterous supporters in Dayton, Ohio. And the last part of this description is probably the most important reason McCain chose the unknown Palin as his running mate. She has created instant excitement and interest in a campaign that would have been hard-pressed to capture anything short of the typical "Rich Old White Boys" country-club atmosphere at Monday's Republican National Convention in St. Paul.

In a presidential year where "Change" is unquestioningly favoring the Democrats, the Palin selection gives the McCain camp its' only real hope at victory. Any other mainstream selection such as the heir apparent Mitt Romney, another no-name Governor in Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, abortion rights supporter Tom Ridge or another Maverick pick such as close McCain ally Joe Lieberman would have sealed defeat on November 4. Yes, Palin is risky but so were these other mainstream choices that others pushed so hard to be included on the ticket. Republicans cannot affort to run another generic Presidential campaign with the same rich, old white men ticket and expect victory in November against the Obama-Biden ticket.

And despite what the respected, Pulitzer Prize award-winning Washington Post columnist and Fox News Contributor, Charles Krauthammer called "suicidal" yesterday, Sarah Palin's selection is hardly the death knell he suggests. Yes, the McCain camp should be commended for waking up and running a tactically brilliant campaign the past 6 or 7 weeks. Yes, their efforts kept this campaign effectively even through the Democratic convention when the Obama-Biden 'Change ticket should have been up 20 points or more. However, history has proven that however brilliant the McCain camp could be, in a "Change Election Year", change always wins over experience, i.e., George W. Bush in 2000, Bill Clinton in 1992, Jimmy Carter in 1976 and John F. Kennedy in 1960.

So with the perspective of 24 hours for this news to sink in, here is why Sarah Palin is the right choice and represents the best chance for Republican victory this year:


1. She is a young, fresh face that instantly injects interest, enthusiasm and excitement into the ticket and immediately gives the Republicans a new leader on the national stage for the future.
2. She is a "hockey mom" from a western state who represents traditional family values that the core Christian conservative base was so desperately demanding.
3. Her historic selection as the first woman V.P. selection from the Republican party effectively eliminates the "Change" mantra from the Obama-Biden ticket.
4. She gives the undecided woman "swing voters" (most of whom are undecided) who will ultimately decided this election a reason to consider a McCain-Palin ticket.

That's it. There are other minor issues but these four are the main reasons McCain ventured down the Maverick Highway for his selection.

The beauty and brilliance of this selection cannot be summed up any better than the vitriolic, immediate response from the Obama-Biden campaign which descibed Palin as "having zero foreign policy experience," criticized her position on abortion and said she would just continue the unpopular policies of President Bush.

Realizing their mistake attacking the first woman Republican V.P. candidate with a charge that more applicably fits their leader, calmer heads within the Obama-Biden campaign later issued an immediate about face congratulatory release. Obama himself even called the Governor directly to congratulate her. Obama brushed asided reporters questioning the harsh response by saying political campaigns often have "hair-trigger" responses to issues. Regardless of the conflicting messages, I'll take the first response as the one with the most relevance. Palin's selection scared the daylights out of the Obama disciples within his campaign because her presence just took their "Change" mantra off the table.

Of course, such a bold decision is not without risks. But let's examine the Democats', and their acolytes within the liberal press, main arguments against the Palin selection and the impact they will have on this election:

1. Her inexperience wipes away the McCain camps main challenge to Obama that his inexperience makes him unqualified to be President.
2. She is not qualified to deal with Foreign Affairs.
3. Joe Biden will eat her lunch at the upcoming V.P. Debate.
4. She is the Governor of a small state who is not used to the limelight of the national media and has the potential to wilt in front of the forthcoming onslaught.
5. Oh, did I mention that she has not even been on "Meet the Press." Seriously, this point was raised as a vote against.

The experience argument is a weak one simply because the Republican's chose to place their inexperienced candidate on the bottom of the ticket. John McCain is the Presidential candidate whose qualifications for President are unquestioned. In contrast, the Democrats have placed their inexperienced candidate on the top of their ticket. Big difference that the McCain camp will have little trouble deflecting.

There is no question that Sarah Palin is no heavyweight when it comes to Foreign Affairs outside of her expertise with energy and her efforts to open up the Alaskan Wilderness for drilling. However, how much impact will she have on shaping a McCain administrations' foreign affairs policy? Will she be charged with negotiating peace accords with North Korea, Iraq? Will she be asked to deal with Iran? Will she be asked to look into Vladimir Putin's eyes in the ongoing staredown over Georgia and breakaway territories? No. These duties will be handled elsewhere in the McCain administration by his much-anticipated and experienced Foreign Policy team. If Dan Quayle, an unknown Senator from Indiana, can be Vice President, then don't worry about Sarah Palin.

I am sure that Joe Biden is licking his chops at his opportunity to clean Palin's chops at the upcoming Vice Presidential debate. However, the fact that people are talking about Biden and his experience even further illustrates how unbalanced the Democratic ticket really is. Palin was 9-years old when Biden entered the Senate in 1973. He is a career-Washington "insider" who is on the wrong side of Palin on several key issues--abortion, taxes and big government. Can he really face a 44-year old "hockey mom" from a Western state and attack her as inexperienced because he represents the "Change" America needs? Based upon her first performance yesterday in Dayton, Palin will do just fine against Biden in a V.P. debate. Besides, when is the last time a V.P. debate had any impact on a Presidential election? Lloyd Bentsen's famous line "Senator, you are no Jack Kennedy," to Dan Quayle in 1988 was funny even to Republicans but had no affect on the election outcome.

Yes their are political risks throwing a relative lightweight political newbie into the teeth of a national Presidential election 67-days before election day. The 24/7 focus, three hour news cycle today demands much from our political candidates. In a world where every word, every look and every nuance is debated ad-nauseam, Sarah Palin is fair game to the viciousness of a partisan Presidential campaign. However, the same case can be made for the off-the-cuff, short-tempered Joe Biden who has put his foot in his mouth more times than he cares to remember under the national spotlight of presidential politics. He is just as susceptible to a major gaffe or embarrassment to Barack Obama as an inexperienced Sarah Palin is to John McCain.

The fact that Sarah Palin has not appeared on "Meet the Press" is symbolic of the Washington-insiders and mainstream media's overstated importance to the election of an American President. Who cares if Sarah Palin has never appeared on "Meet the Press?" She will have plenty of opportunities to make her case to the American voters over the next 67-days.

So there you have it. A bold, historic, risky choice of Sarah Palin has wiped the slate clean three days prior to the Republican National Convention in St. Paul. Her announcement effectively erased any "Halo effect" from the Obama acceptance speech on Thursday and removes the "Change" mantra from beneath the Obama-Biden campaign. Risky, yes. Necessary, absolutely.

Game on!

Change at What Price?



"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it."

-- Barack Obama

Oops. The balloon is leaking. The fairy-tale that "Ground Hog" Slick Willie warned us about in February is unravelling. Yes, Dorothy, we are definitely not in Kansas anymore.

Call it whatever you want but the "Change We Can Believe In" message is not the message of "Hope" we were led to believe. No Pollyanna this message of Hope is really a message of Hate. Of Anger. Of Racial discord. Of Anti-Americanism.

It may have taken a bit longer than some predicted, but the Barack Obama facade has finally been revealed. Oh, we're not talking about holding a man accountable for statements of his pastor. And, we're not saying a man should be convicted of "guilt by association" as some have defended the Illinois Senator. And, we're really not saying we should not take Mr. Obama at his word. We're just saying...if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck. Well?

The recent revelations by Fox News and ABC News of racial rhetoric in sermons made by Barack Obama's pastor and spiritual advisor Reverend Jeremiah Wright have put the Democratic Presidential contenders' Presidential hopes in doubt. Serious doubt. This is not a partisan attack on a marginal political issue. This issue strikes at the very heart of Barack Obama's DNA. By his own admission, a man he calls "Uncle," the man he holds in great respect, the man who is a close friend of Reverend Louis Farrakhan, the man who married him and his "I have never been proud to be an American" wife Michelle, the man who baptised his children, the man who served on his African-American Spiritual Advisory committee, the man whose sermon "The Audacity of Hope" so moved Mr. Obama that it became the centerpiece of his campaign and the title of his own autobiography, the man who has preached at the church he has been a member and attended for 20 years has been outed. Outed big-time. We're talking Eliot Spitzer-Client #9-like:"Yes, I did have sex with that woman. Five large ones, too!", outed.

Oh, I know not everyone thinks it is a big deal. The Keith Olbermann faction of BMSNBC" (Barack-MSNBC) has been deflecting the story the past 48-hours. However, as hard as the liberal media tries to spin it, this ship has sailed. You can just look at the individuals who have taken to the airwaves to defend Obama. The Reverend Al Sharpton quickly spun the story to talk about "degrees of standards" we will measure all politicians. He made quick comparisons to men of the cloth who have endorsed Republican Presidential candidate John McCain. Sorry, Mr. Sharpton. You can't save this sinking ship with your off-kilter rhetoric any faster than you can say Tawana Brawley. Your candidate has already seen to that with his own rhetoric on national television last night.

Even an African-American syndicated radio host, Larry Elder, finds Mr. Obama's story hard to believe.“How can Barack Obama dis-invite him … and now claim he had no idea that Jeremiah Wright made all these incendiary comments? It doesn’t work,” Elder told FOX News.

You see, it really does not matter that Reverend Wright said America deserved the 9-11 attacks as retribution for dropping the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. No, it really does not matter that Reverend Wright said that the United States government was responsible for HIV and was run by rich, white men whose purpose was to keep the black man down. And, as absurd as it sounds, it really does not matter that Reverend Wright said "God Bless America" should be replaced with "God Damn America." (He said all those things from the pulpit of the Trinity United Church of Christ that Barack Obama has been a member the past 20 years.)

You see what really matters is what Mr. Obama said last night on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC during his quick appearances to deflect the uproar. He defended his pastor. I know, he denounced his comments but he defended his spiritual advisor and his "Uncle." He even went as far as to say on national television that you had to understand where Reverend Wright was coming from. He was a Vietnam veteran who was still fighting the war of the 1960's and while he found his comments "appalling" that he was not aware of the hateful rhetoric Reverend Wright has been espousing.

Seriously. He said he had not been in church when these inflammatory comments were made. Incredulously he said that if he had heard them, he would have quit the church. Would have removed him from his campaign long before last night had he "known" about these comments. Ok, we can take Mr. Obama at his word on this one. But don't you think in this 24/7, blogging news cycle that somewhere, someone has a microphone from one of those sermons? A recording with a date. Perhaps that date can be tied back to Mr. Obama's presence in the church? Maybe.

But it really does not matter whether Mr. Obama's fall-on-his sword denial comes back to bite him. The toothpaste is already out of the tube. The helium is out of the balloon. The train has left the station. The curtain has been revealed on the Wizard of Oz. The emperor has no clothes.

Yes, Mr. Obama. Words do matter. Yours and your pastors' have just sunk your campaign faster than you can say "Turn Out the Lights. The Party's Over."

28-12 is the new 19-0


The sports world was abuzz all fall about the New England Patriots quest to become only the second undefeated team in NFL history. If the Patriots would have defeated the underdog New York Giants in the Super Bowl, they would have finished their perfect season at 19-0.

However, as invincible as the Patriots appeared, they proved vulnerable to a hungrier, more athletic team in the New York Giants. The G-Men exposed the Patriots weaknesses, capitalized on a "tight" team of destiny who succumbed to the mounting pressure and just plain got lucky on the final drive (has anyone else ever caught such an important pass against his helmet?)

But now that the Super Bowl has passed and the 1972 Miami Dolphins have raised their champagne glasses preserving their NFL unbeaten legacy, let's move on to an even more important statistical record.

Since 1968, the Republican Party has won seven of the last 10 Presidential elections. The party of Lincoln and Roosevelt has presided for 28 of the last 40 years. The Democratic Party has only won three elections and served in the White House for 12 of those 40 years. So do we learn anything from these past 40 years? A closer look tells any young "Obamacan" just how different the two parties are:

Summary

You can read Wikipedia and surf the web through the Presidential Libraries for your own factoids; however, even a rationale, objective "Obamacan" can come to the following conclusions based upon this evidence:

Republican Presidents favor lower taxes, less government, conservative social policies and a strong military and national defense.
Democratic Presidents favor higher taxes, more government, liberal social policies and a weak military and national defense.

We don't know who the Democrats will nominate for President but you can count on one thing from Barack Hussein Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton--bad news for the United States.

However, we do know this: John McCain will never weaken our military, will finish the War on Terror and will never use Federal Marshals to forceably remove a young boy from his home returning him to a Communist country.

A New Leader For America


My friends, fast-forward 28 years and America is once again under seige. We are facing a seemingly insurmountable enemy in the Radical Islamic Extremists who want to annihilate us. Our stature overseas has been humbled by a perceived "go it alone" foreign policy that has been earmarked by war mismanagement and questionable interrogation approaches. Our economy is teetering after the affects of poor domestic policy oversight of the home loan market. Oil is averaging $100 a barrel. Although we have yet to face hour-long waits for gasoline, at $3 a gallon of gas, we are exhausting our vast reserves. And, divisive partisan politics have created a system of government in Washington that is broken.

These times call for new leadership. Time-tested leadership from a man of conviction who stands for unwavering principles. A man like Senator John McCain. A Vietnam veteran who spent six years in an American P.O.W. camp inside Vietnam. A man who refused his captors offer of an early release to remain behind with his men for another four years. A man who stood up to the prevailing political winds and passed sweeping legislation to overhaul a broken campaign finance system. A man who stood alone while supporting the new troops surge in Iran and was ultimately proven right. A man who will lead with his heart and not back down from the evil threats facing us.

I will have more on the virtures of John McCain and why his election to President is one of the most important decisions facing our Country.

Welcome


This is my first post on my new blog "Save the U.S.A--Vote John McCain." I am originally from Oklahoma and have been voting Republican in American Presidential elections since I cast my first absentee ballot for Ronald Reagan in November of 1980. I was a freshman at Baker University in tiny Baldwin City, Kansas and had just entered my first semester in college two months earlier. I graduated High School the previous May amidst a series of international crises that faced America including:

Iran Hostage Crisis.
Soviet Union Invasion of Afghanistan.
Runaway Inflation.
Sagging Economy.
Loss of American Prestige Overseas.

At the time, Americans had a sense of paralysis. We had citizens being held hostage in a Middle Eastern country called Iran that little of us knew anything about. The terrorists who called themselves "students of the revolution" were mocking us daily by parading our citizens blindfolded and handtied infront of throngs of raving protesters. We had attempted to negotiate our way through the crises to no avail. Then, a failed rescue attempt ended in the Arabian desert with American casualties.

At approximately the same time, the Soviet Union decided to exercise its' military hedgemony in the world and invaded Afghanistan. The nightly news lead was Soviet tanks barrelling through the cavernous mountain roads routing grossly mismatched rebel tribesmen. U.S. foreign policy was to protest through the United Nations. Publicly we voiced our displeasure while doing absolutely nothing to help defend the Afghan rebels. However, privately true Patriots like U.S. Congressman Charlie Wilson were organizing relief efforts and providing military support to the undermanned Afghan tribesmen. Officially, the toughest stance the U.S. government took was boycotting the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. It appeared the amateur Olympians would pay the price for political malfeasance.

At home the economy had run aground. Rising inflation created new terms like "stagflation" and Americans were standing in hour long waits to buy gasoline. Unemployment skyrocketed and the loss of jobs created a sense of hopelessness. Combined with the untenable situation in Iran with the hostages, America itself seemed under siege. The citizens of the United States were looking for leadership. Someone to take charge and create a vision to rescue us from these seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Just when our darkest period seemed to peak a new beacon of hope rose from familiar circumstances. The former Governor of California, leader of the Conservative Movement since 1964, and former Hollywood actor, Ronald Reagan took charge by an overwhelming 44-state landside victory.

Reagan rose from the middle of the pack of Republican Presidential candidates to win the Republican nomination for President. His vision of hope, peace and prosperity for a new America won the hearts and minds of a disolate populace and won the race for President. Within hours of Reagan's win, the terrorists in Iran released our hostages. Scenes of smiling U.S. citizens deplaning at the U.S. airbase in Germany still resonate in millions of Americans' minds. Soon, the tide was turning.

The new President enacted sweeping tax cuts and immediately began repairing our national pride and image by promising an old Democratic battle cry of "putting America back to work." The military was reinfused with much needed equipment and a morale boost. Instead of the U.N.-based, hand-wringing foreign policy of the past administration, Ronald Reagan immediately challenged the Soviet Union to withdrawal from Afghanistan to the Berlin Wall. A new space-age "Star Wars" defensive ballistic missile system was being promoted. Instead of helplessly looking for leadership from the U.N., American covert operations began seizing control of Communist Rebel regimes in our Central American Hemisphere. Old Republican warhorse Teddy Roosevelt would have been proud as the Reagan juggernaut swept across the jungles of Nicaragua in search of the bad guys.

This was just the beginning. Reagan's aggressive pro-military and consumer-friendly tax policies would have dramatic reverberations. His foreign policy stances would ultimately force the Soviet empire to crumble and dissolve along with the Berlin Wall. At home his tax cuts and sweeping reforms would revitalize the American economy for the next 20 years.

A staunch conservative, so staunch that former President Ford was quoted as saying "a very conservative Republican cannot be elected.", Reagan never wavered from his basic principles or essential message abroad:

A) The source of most trouble overseas is the Communist drive for global domination.
B) At home, the cause of most American woes is the overblown, endlessly intrusive Federal Government.
C) In foreign affairs, the U.S must build up its military power and face down the Soviets.
D) At home, Reagan's watchword was less: less federal spending, less taxation, less regulation, less federal activism in directing the economy and curing social ills, in fact, less Government period.

Fast-forward 28 years, substitute the phrase "Radical Islamic Extremists" for "Communist" and "Soviets", and you have John McCain.

Today, the extreme right is saying McCain is too moderate and cannot be elected. Some national talking heads are saying they would rather vote for Hillary Clinton than support John McCain. These hard-right neocons need to take pause and a deep breath. As the great American Patriot G. Gordon Liddy said today of these folks, "they are the suicide bombers of the Republican Party" because the alternative is Hillary Clinton and her husband "Wandering Willy" and their actions will be very predictable:

Higher Taxes.
A Socialist Health Care System we cannot afford.
Passive indifference to the Radical Islamic Extremists.
More Government.

Today we have a serious decision to make that will impact our country for decades and the clearest choice in the last 28 years of Presidential elections. You should compare and contrast the candidates and vote for John McCain because he will:

Lower your Taxes.
Defeat the Radical Islamic Extremists.
Secure our Border & Reform Immigration.
Nominate Conservative, Constructionist Federal Judges.
Enact Sensible, Affordable Health Care.
Protect the Sanctity of Life.
Protect Your Right to Bear Arms.
Ensure Less Government.

The choices are clear and the time is now to support a true American Patriot who will lead like his political mentor, Ronald Reagan, with bold, decisive, leadership.
