Not Sure Whether To Be Disappointed or Mad As Hell

Those of you who already know me know that I have all my life been a die-hard Republican as was my father before me and likely his father before him. Dad would spin in his grave if he knew that I had ever even considered pulling more than a single lever when in the voting booth.

Enough said for that! That's not the reason I'm writing this entry.

During John McCain's search for a running mate, I repeatedly and in many forums said that I'd like to think that he would at least consider the honorable governor of the great state of Alaska. You can imagine how delighted I was when he announced that Sarah Palin was, in fact, his choice. I had about 30 seconds in which to revel before the reality began to set in -- the liberal media was not about to let this happen without a fight and a smear campaign to end all smear campaigns

Then the started on Sarah Palin's young, beautiful and vivacious 17 year old daughter -- how low can you stoop.

What brought this to a head was the morning after Gustav tormented the Gulf Coast. The most biased network of the majors -- ABC -- and their most Obama devotee, Dianne Sawyer, spent almost 20 minutes railing over the sins of the Palin daughter before they ever even mentioned the damage done to the Gulf Coast only the day before. DISGRACEFUL!

I had a meeting last night and rushed home to hear Palin's speech. She blew the opposition away. I told my wife that it was likely the second best political speech I had ever heard -- second only to one from Ronald Regan himself.

Go Sarah -- Go. And may God Bless You and may God Bless America in spite of what the liberal media wants.
