Should McCain have chosen Romney they would both be characterized as two old white males by the same people that now deem McCain and Palin as both too old, too young and too inexperienced; and we are now told that McCain’s choice was designed to attract disenfranchised female Hillary supporters who cannot be lured and fooled by anything less than the real McCoy (Hillary) and that he will ultimately lose votes because of this. From the perspective of us gender blind conservatives we looked at Palin as fit for a VP slot the same way that we looked at Harriet Myers as unfit for a Supreme Court Justice nomination. Now suddenly the gender oriented Hillary love fest has been turned into a Palin hate fest in the same manner that the race oriented love Obama crowd hates Justice Thomas. Hillary and Obama are liberals vs. the conservatives Palin and Thomas therefore Hillary is experienced and Thomas is woefully lacking legitimate Constitutional credentials according to a liberal Chicago community organizer without a job. How come? Because all the fair and balanced arguments over issues have positive reinforcement value, based upon race and gender, when you are a liberal but have negative value, in regards to those same issues, when you are a republican. If you are a non-white and/or female liberal then it shows how fair-minded you are, while if you have an R after your name then it shows how treacherous, sneaky and underhanded you must be to try and fool people using race and gender.

The party that has always used race and gender to dishonestly portray their concern over inequities cannot tolerate playing second fiddle when a candidate is selected regardless of skin color or gender but only on their honest and genuine qualifications to deal with the job and issues at hand. If you doubt that liberals are pseudo compassionates just listen to the recent hullabaloo over the appearance of a Grade 4 or 5 hurricane that they gleefully hope will knock out the Republican Convention. How about the fact that millions of people, animals, homes and business will be irreparably affected.

The reason I especially liked Romney was because he developed and matured into a conservative. For all the criticism of his changed stances he represented a finished product that was a Washington outsider, a governor far removed from the D.C. lives of Senators, who was beholding to no one; these are good qualifications to change a system that you know is broken. Sarah Palin is cut from the same cloth, albeit a younger version, but her record of accomplishements speaks for itself. She was and is an outsider, beholding to no one; she recognized when the system was broken, putrid and corrupt and she advanced from nowhere to take on the insiders and oust them. Just one of her kind is worth hundreds of crippled and beholding drones that advance the status quo. Joe Biden is a static, long time Washington insider, that always voted as a socialist, who gained the title of being Washington’s 3rd most liberal Senator and who now intends to govern under a hopeful commander labeled the most liberal Senator and who himself originated in the bowels of liberal and corrupt Cook County, the epicenter of old–town and old-time democrat politics, that never matured beyond New York’s Tammany Hall. I know because I lived there. Amazingly this same duo masquerading as a new force for change, have a pedigree supporting government expansion to the degree that it has bloated every bureaucracy, advanced federal autocracy, crippled individual liberty with staggering taxes, paralyzed enterprise with numbing regulations, created and expanded entitlements that have choked us with debt, empowered environmentalists with powerful court standing that has inflated energy costs and now they ask to be re-hired if we will only pay them more than we ever did before. What fools they take us for. If I criticized Bush for his unfunded Medicare prescription benefit package and other heavy handed spending imagine how this new tsunami of spending proposals provokes my ire.

Of all the job experiences that these candidates should have, yet strikingly and glaringly lack, is the experience of ordinary Americans, working hard each and every day as farm workers, auto builders, fisherman, engineers, chemists, medical and legal professionals, carpenters, plumbers, boat builders, typesetters, programmers, electricians, along with countless others who all act and interact in day to day commerce that represents the American economy. Beyond all the aforementioned is the unique job of running communities and States with full executive responsibility that, besides Presidents, only mayors and governors possess. The day that Sarah Palin was announced as McCain’s choice I recognized the only conservative, embodying life’s experiences, like the rest of us, but who also had executive experience as both a small town mayor and governor of America’s largest State and who is beholding to no one but to you and me. The rest are all Senators with barely a few years living as the rest of us do for our entire lives. From my perspective Sarah Palin is the one that could have been on the top of the ticket yesterday, while the rest of them should not be on any ticket, on any day.
