A Home Run for the Conservative Team!

John McCain has been known for years as a maverick in Washington, D.C. To tell you the truth, The Bull thinks that McCain is more like one of the Heroes of my home State of South Carolina - the ‘Swamp Fox’, Francis Marion - when it comes to strategy.

What a wonderful choice McCain has made in the Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin!

Sarah and Todd Palin have five children: boys Track, 19, and Trig, 4 months, and daughters Bristol, 17, Willow, 13, and Piper, 7. Track Palin joined the Army last September and will deploy to Iraq on Sept. 11. Palin had kept her pregnancy with Trig a secret as she worked in the governor’s mansion, confirming only weeks before the birth that she was going to have a son who she knew would have Down syndrome. She returned to work in April three days after giving birth. To date she maintains an 80% approval rating among Alaskans.

Palin is a Life Member of the NRA. She has been, and remains, an advocate of 2nd Amendment & sportsman’s Rights. She also is an advocate of a sound energy policy including drilling in ANWAR as needed while we develop alternative energy sources. Palin is also a pro-life candidate that will appeal to the Republican base.

This choice does serious damage to the ‘Dim’-ocrat ticket in that they dare not use the “lack of experience” line considering their top-of-the-ticket choice. Palin is also a Washington outsider, unlike Biden. A woman also brings in the female vote dis-enfranchised by the Democratic maneuvers to put Obama in office.

Now we have a race, my friends! “McCain/Palin“. Sounds good to me!
