The Topaz Choice

Well, the anointing is over for now. The empty suit has proclaimed his divinity, and the audience of donkeys have worshipped their golden idol. Senator Messiah Obama's speech was uplifting only to those who are true believers. To the rest of us, he said little other than generalities and the continued mocking of John McCain. The American flags in the hands of the delegates and others were notably missing from the festivities, and there was little chanting other than 'Obama.' Large crowd, Greek temple, anointing---what have I missed?

When John McCain announced his Vice Presidential pick in Dayton, there were numerous chants of 'USA' and the waving of the American flag.

Despite plenty of opportunity [he's been running for the Presidency for several years now], Obama doesn't seem to understand that thinking people want specifics from him, not generalities.

But remember. Obama has very little political experience and no executive experience. He's never led people, penned a veto, reformed anything, or done little more than take up room in the Senate.

Joe Biden is the pure attack dog and a good old boy from the ancient Liberal group in the Senate. And with Obama, he may be half of the most Liberal pair of Senators. He has a constituancy of about 427,000 people, not all of whom voted for him. He hasn't led anything in Delaware other than the Liberal pack of wolves.

Do we want Liberals? Do we want larger government, more governmental control of our lives? Do we want higher taxes to pay for it? Do we want increased costs of fuel, food, and everyday items because the Liberals are searching for the perfect energy source?

Do we want a President influenced by Ted Kennedy, Rev Wright, the Clintonistas, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and John Murtha?

A resounding no.

For all his faults, John McCain gives us the best alternative for the Presidency. He'll be pro life, for stronger border protection, stronger defense and home security, and he has the military and political experience to lead us in the dangerous times ahead. Would you rather have Obama or McCain dealing with Putin or Ahmadinejad at three am? Sweet talk or strong, positive efforts---whether military or political.

Sarah Palin was a terrific choice for McCain's running mate. She has executive experience, has wielded a veto pen, has defied her powerful colleagues in the search for reform, and led people successfully. She's the governor and leader of some 670,000 Alaskans. She is knowledgeable and positive for energy searching. Say! Wait a minute! Sarah Palin is more qualified for the Presidency than Barack Obama!

I believe Sarah Palin will energize the public along the campaign trail and hold her own against aging, Joe Biden in the Vice Presidential debate.

So, you have a good choice, my friends. Do you want the desperate human beings of the Democrat party? The candidates promising higher taxes, increased governmental control in your lives? The ones which will insure continued high prices for energy, food, daily needs? Is that 'Change' and 'Hope' to you? The candidates with the idling SUVs outside the 'Green' convention?

Or do you want a candidate with proven leadership experience to effectively manage the countryP Lower taxes? Less governmental intrusion into your daily lives? Better respect for the human individual? Appointments to the Supreme Court who aren't going to legislate from the bench? More American energy developed, more power plants on line to reduce the overall cost of energy, food, and everyday items? Don't you want a President who will stand up against Putin and Ahmadinejad at any time of the day?

And for Vice Presidential candidate, McCain has chosen a woman with much more solid experience than Obama on the the Democrat side. She's tough, intelligent, has executive experience, is a capable leader, is pro-life, and strongly conservative on all the issues.

These comments have by necessity been short. I leave it to the pundits and pros to expand on all the issues and stances. But I ask you to think of the future when you vote.
