I have given this title considerable thought and I will confess that when the primaries were in full swing I was truly disgusted with the candidates that were running. When John McCain won his Republican nomination I did have doubts on whether he would be able to survive the Democratic parties battle cry of "More of the same" but hat changed quickly when he threw a monkey wrench in to the Democrats drive train. You could hear the loud sigh of the Democrats as they scrambled to dig up the dirt on Sarah Palin. They failed on trying to blemish this great woman's achievements in Alaska and it changed American politics as we know it forever.

I had become like so many Americans I guess. Bored with the politics as usual and the belt way boys that seemed to know how to write off everything I was leaning towards in my hopes of backing a candidate. The media had put their money on the Obama Campaign and it seemed my hopes of a republican ticket would surely be determined by these individuals that run every kind of poll known to man. It looked hopeless until John McCain jerked the pants down on the Democratic party. It seemed the democrats had that deer in the head lights look and I could not help but get excited about politics again.

John McCain had ventured off the predictable path and like Lewis and Clark ventured into unknown territory. This is the type of political stuff it in your face politics that make great Presidents. No fear, no blinking with the let them hang themselves type of attitude. Sarah Palin took it a step further and added a kinship to the ticket that refreshed and related to a lot of Americans. She showed that she had no fear in challenging any politician or corporation in her quest for what is right for the people of her state and what is so desperately wrong with politics in Washington DC. The move by John McCain took the predictability out of his type of politics and put it on the road to reform and who ever had a problem with it could try to challenge it.

A bold move for those that love John McCain. Be strong and carry a big stick and that stick is Sarah Palin. It is time to give the women a chance to be reckoned with and I think she will serve the American people with great enthusiasm and passion. I feel great about my decision this time around because finally they have a normal person on the ticket. One that is strong and intelligent that has a lot to offer the American people. So when people ask me who I will vote for on election day, I proudly say the Republicans for which they stand. With so much corruption in Washington these days it is nice to have a ticket that wants to clean up the mess that has affected our economy and our confidence.

One can only hope that this time the American people will get it right and keep the Chicago gangsta type politics out of the White House. After all a community organizer is the same thing as mob boss wouldn't you think. You can bet I am voting Republican because our cookie jar has had one to many corrupt politicians hands in it already. The fact that Obama's ties with Highly influential people in Chicago can only lead to bad things. Obama trained the staff of "Acorn" well and with them in his corner there is no telling how the out come of this election will climax.

Biden is Obama's brain on foreign policy and if that is the case with all the gaffs Biden says Americans are in real trouble. There is no debating that fact. The fact that Americans think Sarah Palin is not up to par on foreign affairs may be so but let there be no doubt that in the time of crisis she will come through because she is like we Americans. She will serve and protect what we all share. Our freedom.
