Let's Put Shaving Cream on that Pig! It's Inclusive!

The Master of words himself, "Caesar Obama" knew exactly what he was saying when he used the words "Lipstick on a Pig." He is so caculated about what he writes that he knew the Republican base would grab the bait. Most likely, he also formed his response ahead of time, once again, very calculated in his choice of words. There is no doubt in my mind he wanted to cause this type of stir -- why else would he use that terminology at this time in the campaign.

What boggles my mind is that people love to drink his "Kool-Aid" and then give total reprieve. The media just gives him a total pass on everything and now that Governor Palin is not talking to the media ~ they have nothing else to report on.

The American people see through "Caesar Obama" even though the media doesn't. He slapped 18 M voters in the face by not choosing Senator Clinton on his ticket and that simply will be his demise. The words "Lipstick on a pig" is demeaning in any context to women and I would hope we could put this term to rest. Somehow, putting "Shaving Cream" on a pig is inclusive because both men and women use it - so why not try something different.

The American people will choose different this year when it selects its first VP female in over 200 years!

Country First ~ Country First ~ Always Country First!

Yesterday I attended the McCain-Palin rally in Colorado Springs and I'm here to tell you that "change is on it's way" to Washington with the McCain-Palin ticket! This election is not about party politics folks, it's about Country First and McCain has it right. Not only did he put a Washington outsider on his ticket but he managed to get more people watch him at the RNC than Obama had. What that means is that the vast majority of Americans are still undecided ~ the 18M undecided Hillary Clinton supporters.

Now, "Caesar Obama" must "summon" Hillary Clinton for more help! Are you kidding me - Senator Obama, it's over. After what I witnessed in Colorado, your talking about change is nothing like making real change happen.

As I proudly stood up and held a sign with the words, "Democrats 4 McCain" I was actually embraced by the Republican party. What a change that was for me. After spending a week in Denver walking around the streets with a Hillary Clinton campaign button on my shirt and being jeered at, ran into by skateboarders and people confronting me with "why not Obama" - it was refreshing to see guenine people with good moral character who appreciated my being at the rally. Country First ~ Country First ~ Country First. Why would I have it any other way? My country has always come First and it always will.

With a Heart of Love,

Party Rules Are Out the Door Tonight!

My argument to not vote for MaCain-Palin was based on lack of experience for Governor Palin but tonight she did much to dispel my fears. What Sarah Palin did was to convince me that I wasn’t wrong in the first place for initially feeling the way I did about Barack Obama. So what if I’m flip flopping – it’s my vote and I’m voting for McCain-Palin! I don’t want to make a mistake on my vote this year – it’s too critical. The Republicans didn’t play to my fear – I already understand the effects of terrorism. You need only read my story: Locked in Time – I Still Remember and Always Will. As one who served in the armed forces on active duty, I must do my duty to honor my country and understand that this election, above all, is NO GAME and party rules go out the door. As one who voted for democrats for nearly 35 years of my voting years, it’s time to move beyond party politics. Barack Obama has not yet earned that desk in the Oval Office and I agree with Mike Huckabee; Rudy Guiliani and Joe Lieberman. Joe is from Connecticut – my home state before I entered the military.

I was a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton but Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton – she is her own woman and I liked what I heard tonight. She was genuine, feisty, well-informed and a true patriot and most especially and outsider to Washington politics. I love that most of all – and outsider, a reformer, another maverick. Everyone needs a Maverick on their team because without them, we may never hear the truth. You see, if we are to change Washington, we must bring change to Washington and both John McCain and Sarah Palin represent the type of change I want from my government.

One of my greatest concerns I raised as an issue in not voting for Senator McCain was his health. I questioned whether I wanted an “inexperienced” Governor of two years to become the President of the United States should Senator McCain pass on while in office. Tonight, Sarah Palin shot an A-10 bullet right at Senator Obama’s experience and I heard it very clearly. I like these Mavericks…look out Washington – real change is on the way.
