Sarah WOWED everyone last night!

She is one dangerous woman and the left wing media KNOWS it! She is everything they can't handle --- a truly competent woman who doesn't whine.

What a speech. What a woman. She is my hero.

Sure, I don't eat meat, but hey to each their own. I'd never shoot Bambi but I sure like the idea that the two who are at the top of the ticket are kick-butt, take no names and protect us all types!

She has compassion, heart and she knows how to get things done. Loved the joke. Loved the zingers which were shot with just the right touch of humor.

Did anyone hear the blather that came back from Obama's campaign. Boring much. Drivel. They've been throwing everything they can at her for a week and she comes back with a little patter and they collapse.

They sound like bullies who can't figure out how to come back at a girl. Nah, nah, you said bad things about us and we don't like it. Can't take the heat on the left.

Guess we should be prepared though 'cause now they're going to find out which way she puts toilet paper on the dispenser and say it's politically incorrect.

They need to back off on the family.

What about this crap about Todd getting a ticket when he was, oh my god, 22. A baby. While he's drinking beer at the age when almost everyone in the world drinks beer or wine or more, Obama's out there snorting drugs --- he said so in his book. Now that's OK for a Presidential candidate to experiment with drugs, but not OK for a red-blooded American male to have a beer or two and get caught as a kid? Give me a break. I bet most of the people writing about it drink now. Geez.

The thing the media has done is raise awareness of Palin, shown their scared of Palin, and solidified a whole lot of people into supporters who were just wishy-washy before.

Ya know, I'd still be a lib if the party hadn't gotten so nasty. And I hadn't gone into business for myself. Tell you what, there is nothing that teaches you self-responsibility like running a business. You find out what it means to take care of yourself. When I worked for a large corporation, had healthcare, had vacation, had a steady paycheck it was easy to be cushioned and not think about things.

Sarah Palin is what most parents only dream their kids should be, could be. To handle five kids, a husband, a job, to kick butt in Alaska, be intelligent, happy, smart, beautiful.... I could was eloquent if I really worked at it . Go Sarah Palin. Go get 'em girl.

Oh yeah, and THANKS John McCain for picking Palin. You showed your moxxy, your independence and got my vote for sure.

Heard they're re-vetting Palin

Heard this morning that Joe Liberman was McCain's pick right up to the last minute. Also heard the FBI hadn't vetted Sarah Palin completely before he announced. I would be every little secret she ever had is already out there given she's been in the public eye for as long as she has.

Husband Todd got a ticket for DWI (or DUI depending on where you are in time ;-) twenty-two years ago. Bad boy ;-) Let's see, that would have made him somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty-two or 23? Another whoop-te-do.

17-year-old Bristol is getting married sometime soon to a 17 or so year old. I consider myself a social conservative in some areas, a moderate in others. I hold myself to a fairly strict line but I'm very tolerant of others and the choices they feel they need to make. Walk a mile in someone else's shoes and your feet don't fit in your own shoes anymore.

People make mistakes, they grow and learn hopefully. I've heard of couples who got married at 17 and lived to see their spouse die of old age, but it's rare. I give the young man kudos for being willing to step up to the plate. I'd bet the kids think they're in love. They don't understand what love is yet, maybe what they have will grow into love. It's going to be tougher on them because they have the eyes of the world watching.

Does Palin have to step down as Governor to run? We're only talking a few months off from work at this point so I can't imagine she's giving up being Governor.

What a feather in Alaska's cap if they are the home state of the first female Vice President, and possibly President if she runs after McCain's term ends.

We live in interesting times, but I would imagine every generation has said the same thing.

Hopefully there's not a time bomb ticking for Sarah. I can't imagine she would have considered taking the job if she had anything in her background. It looks like she disclosed everything and was pretty much up-front. She seems like a straight arrow, doubt she'd embarrass McCain.

Glad they're re-vetting her though, just to shut everyone up! Geez, give it up, get back to issues.

Hey Girl, the Dems are Despicable with their Bristol / Sarah Palin Garbage

Just read your post about Bristol. Some of these Dems are despicable. Did you hear what they've been spreading around on the blogs? They've been saying that cute little Trig is actually Bristol's child and that Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy to cover it up.

Good God are these people nuts.

I simply can't imagine who some people make it through the day with all the crazy theories that eat holes in their brains.

Like a Governor could fake a pregnancy? What, they think she stuffed pillows under her dress and faked labor? Hid her daughter?

I agree with you, the Palin's are fantastic for standing by their daughter and welcoming this little one into the world. I'm so glad they didn't go the route so many kids do, deciding to kill the baby.

We're with you Bristol, Sarah, Todd and family. Kick butt and take no names.

Bristol's Pregnancy

News is out that unwed daughter of Sarah and Todd Palin is pregnant. I'm sure the press is going to make a huge deal out of it.

The 17-year old is five months along and is planning to marry the father.

As the aunt of a niece who got preggers when she was 16, I can tell you it's a shocker, it's difficult and it is heart-breaking. These kids don't have a clue what they're getting into and it changes their entire life.

I know the family went through their own kind of hell when their jewel of a daughter told them she was going to have a baby.

I love it that the Palin's are standing behind their daughter and that the youngster has decided to keep her baby. So many would opt for an abortion and take the "easy" (in their mind at that time) way out.

We have a gorgeous little one-year old now who is delightful. Yes, grandma is more involved that she would have been had her daughter been older and stable. Yes, it has made life a lot more difficult for all involved. However, we stood behind her decision to have her daughter. She made a bad choice, a really bad choice, compounded by the fact that the father was not responsible (and boy are we glad he's out of the picture!).

I know Bristol's pregnancy will somewhat tarnish the image of Sarah Palin as VP in some people's minds. Hopefully the Left and Right will praise her for standing with her daughter.

John McCain knew about the pregnancy when he selected Sarah Palin. Kudos to him for still making the choice despite this personal issue the Palins are facing.

Here's the statement released by the Palin's:

"We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.

"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates."
