I have seen Sarah speak and she does that from her heart. She has a big heart loaded with sound common sense. True she may be light on knowledge of international affairs but that is what you have a Secretary of State for--and the woman that is doing that job NOW is awesome. She knows the constitution and understand what Democracy stands for--people being responsible for their actions and the outcomes. Her children are not spoiled by expensive trips to foreign countries while other American children go with out food or clothes to wear to school. She is bright and quick when she needs to be but she can cop an attitude when it comes to dealing with fools from the media who have nothing but an ego to build.

Palin must be on her knees every night thanking McCain for throwing a spotlight on this backwoods numbskull and giving her a chance to clean up financially in a way that she could never have otherwise hoped to have done!

Palin's America -> A brainless ditz leading a group of religious bigot Luddites who think Creationism and Evolution are equally valid scientific theories. If they were true patriots they would all go and grab their 2nd Amendment pea shooters and form a circular firing squad. It would raise the average IQ of the country in a single moment and give the rest of America a sporting chance of surviving the challenges of the 21st century!

The rest of the world would laugh at us if we chose Sarah Palin to lead us.
