So far what I've read and/or heard on the news, I like. Seems pretty PRO OUTDOORS to me.
Any input or other comments about her ? She almost has me voting republican. I sure as hell not going democratic.
She's a heck of a lot better looking than Billary :puke: I heard her talk about taxes, oil and such. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders, but that is just a first, albeit very brief, impression. She is still a politician :rolleye:

She is a foxy lady and a gun toting american. I love her already................ :yoyo:
Damn she can talk and even I can understand what she has to say
Sound like she understands Obama
I thought she gave a hell of a speech. Biden is gonna have his hands full when he debates this lady. :eyebrownod:
She did have a way with words and didn't seem to have a problem calling a spade a spade.

There was a rumor saying she was going to bow out and after listening to her speach,that was the furthest
thing from her mind :yoyo:
So far I really like her. Seems to have her head on straight.
Not to mention what said :yoyo:

From Butch King (an Alaskan Bush Pilot and Guide) on Sarah Palin...
Hi:
Fishing is good here at Wildman and I rarely have time for politics, but
many of our friends are asking us? Who is Sarah Palin?? Of course, as
Alaskans, Kathy and I, are extremely proud of her. We just want to let you
know that Sarah 'Barracuda' Palin is a straight shooting, hard charging,
get it done gal. She knows when to listen, how to analyze the facts and how to make a decision, then implement the plan. She doesn't do a poll before jumping in with both feet like too many of the Washington types. She has little legislative experience because she has always held the EXECUTIVE position; in private life, as mayor of Anchorage's largest bedroom community or more recently as Governor of our State. She is a smart, attractive home grown Alaska girl with excellent moral and family values. She can see what needs to be done and does not hesitate to get it done.
One of our State's major problems is that its Capital is in Juneau, 500
miles from the nearest road and 800 air miles from the population base which is Anchorage, Wasilla and Fairbanks. Our legislature and most of the State government is in Juneau and they ALL behave like a bunch of freshmen in a college town. It has been this way since Statehood in 1959 When Sarah moved to Juneau, so did accountability and responsibility. When the oil revenue started flowing and a barrel of North Slope Crude hit $23.00, these people began spending money like drunken sailors. You can only imagine what was happenings when oil hit $100.00 a barrel, about the time Sarah took command. My wife Kathy has first-hand experience with this fiasco, as her father and also her ex-husband were Alaska Legislators who served in Juneau as Senators, Senate President, or members of the State House for a combined period spanning nearly three decades.
About the time Sarah took the HELM as Governor of Alaska, about half of the State legislature was in the pocket of big oil companies or contractors doing big projects for Native Corporations around Alaska, all funded by State oil revenue. Alaska government was nothing but a good old boys club riding the perpetual wave of prosperity. This filtered down from the legislature, through the Department of Natural Resources, Department of Labor and even spilled in to the Public Safety who are supposed to 'preserve and protect'.
When Sarah walked into the Governor's Mansion, she promptly dismissed the State Trooper detachment assigned to Governor and had her and her husband's gun case brought in from Wasilla. Then, she got rid of the former Governor's STATE Jet and told legislators that there were no more free rides, they would have to fly Alaska Airlines, just like her and her family if they wanted to travel. Next came the nut cutting (the Barracuda part) the heads that rolled were too numerous to name, but when Sarah finished cleaning house, a number of our legislators ended up in jail for on corruption charges, or tendered their resignations along with numerous department heads and those who have been riding the gravy train for way too long, AND THEN SHE HAD LUNCH. By the end of the day, Sarah Palin had saved the people of Alaska millions and has not yet slowed down.
She has truly brought CHANGE to Juneau. I personally know several persons in the private sector in Alaska, that hold her in high esteem. She
surrounds herself with smart people, many from my hometown of Anchorage, she listens to them but makes her own decisions. Sarah Palin is a no B.S. politician. It is refreshing that there is such a thing anymore. You want to talk about CHANGE? You should see a before and after picture of the State government in Alaska. That's CHANGE! Sarah will bring a number of things to the election. I am sure she will appeal many voters who might otherwise could have gone the other direction on election day. The conservative block will not be for Barack. We have their vote. We need what Sarah will bring, first to the election and second, what she will bring to Washington D.C. McCain has been advised well, Let's just hope the American people can get the straight scoop on her in the weeks ahead. This is just the opinion of one Alaska Bush Pilot and Guide, who pays attention to national politics, watches the news and is deathly afraid of the direction our nation is headed. I guarantee that if Sarah gets a chance to dig her spurs into the flanks of the liberal
Washington types, they will know that she is in the saddle.

Thanks for sharing that Mike :congrats:
What a great write up, My wife and I fell in love with her right off the bat, I would love to go Moose hunting with her. My wife said " this is the first time in my life I am ready to vote" . A lifetime NRA member. What a gal ! She probably be packing Iron when she goes to Washington.
Lookout Crack Head. cc :highclap: :highclap:
too bad you have to vote for McCain in order to get her in the VP spot.
i dont think either Obama or McCain are fit Presedential material. just my .02
Feel about the same Cathryn, I'm still not sure who to vote for, I'm not voting for Osama for sure. Its either McCain or just vote my independant party ticket.
I do like her, wish she were running for President from the begining.
A VP that loves guns and rides Harleys, and McCain's wife loves Nascar and motorsports. A pretty easy choice for me. Can't get much more American than that. Who were the other two people on the democratic ticket again? I forgot already :eyebrow:
I can assure ya not all Alaskans feel that way about her. :iroll:
cathryn,
Although neither candidate for President is actually a very GOOD choice, a voter need to consider which candidate is the lesser of the two evils. A vote for Obama is a vote for Islam, and a vote for an Asian midget with a big mouth.
IMHO I believe this is not a good year for an independant vote. That could cost McCain,, the lesser of two evils,, the election leaving us with osama mama.
I think that she could do OK as a VP, but I am not confortable with the posibility of her becoming President. Of course she stahds for the republican principles but I am not so sure how will she handle diplomatic missions.
