It isn't every election year that you get the opportunity to vote for someone truly qualified for public office. Thankfully, our generation has been fortunate enough to be blessed with three consecutive elections offering someone ready to take on the challenge of leading our great nation. Bush proved himself by taking on the latte-drinking liberal left of New England, eliminating federal corruption and constant-campaign politics, leading us into an inevitable war and carrying us out from under an overbearing executive branch. Continuing with this trend of competence and experience, the Republican Party once again offers us a candidate primed for leadership; only this year she fills the VP slot.

Sarah Palin is more than ready to take on the challenges of the position of Vice President of the United States of America.? Contrary to what left-leaning media sources such as CNN and CBS's liberal media puppet Katie Couric would have you believe, she is vastly more experienced than the Democratic candidates in countless political areas.? Take, for example, her interview two weeks ago with Couric. The reporter tried to back her into a corner by mentioning that Palin had never actually spoken with an ambassador or foreign leader.? Palin countered, however, with an obvious fact that Couric had overlooked; Alaska is sandwiched between two foreign countries, one with a recent history of conflict with America, and another that forms the longest border between two nations.? With a geographic location that provides one with experience in both nuclear terrorism and illegal immigration, it's hard to believe Palin lacks critical foreign policy expertise.

Along with her extensive knowledge of worldly issues, the Vice Presidential candidate is well versed in American social and cultural issues.? She has made it plenty clear that she opposes the most controversial Supreme Court case in our nation's history: Roe vs. Wade.? While this may be the only piece of litigation with which she is familiar, it is ultimately the only one necessary to understand the fundamental social issues that have plagued our nation in the latter half of this past century.? Even Palin's family members have chosen their own ways to support the rights of the unborn.

Moreover, a careful scrutiny of her voting record in her own state makes it painfully obvious that Sarah Palin is the Iceman to McCain's Maverick.? Both candidates break the mold of stereotypical conservative thought, supporting federal regulations when appropriate, and standing behind necessary government spending. When Democrats stall progressive political movements, one can rely on McCain and Palin to build bridges, to know where to reach across the aisle and to bring large amounts of stranded politicians over to the mainland. Specific examples escape me at the moment only because the pair are nonconformists, and their voting records account for their careful scrutiny of each policy that is placed in front of the legislative branch. ?

Some have claimed that Alaska's distance from the 48 contiguous states may have kept Palin out of touch with the realities facing the rest of the nation.? Well she certainly isn't. Palin has expressed that she has maintained knowledge of all political affairs through newspapers and other forms of journalism.? And she doesn't just read a few of the articles - she reads all of them.? I dare any of the Obama supporters to make the claim he has the time or the patience to remain so well-versed in every piece of journalism published.? This type of dedication and meticulousness can only be accomplished by a woman with her credentials. ?

With scientific discovery being the new frontier for man, any politician needs to possess openness to all forms of unbiased inquiry. Lately politicians have been slamming the cover of the Bible and burning the only true text to human enlightenment and morality.?Scientists have brain-washed our children into believing the path of righteousness was previously trodden by rodents and monkeys.? Thank God Palin is the first politician since 1986 to support the teaching of creationism alongside of evolution in our public schools.? Finally, we have a candidate prepared to remove the wool Darwinists pulled over our eyes and fight back against atheist propaganda.

McCain was the obvious choice for President since he won the Republican nomination. With his choice of Palin as a running mate, he demonstrated that he is a true maverick, patriot and experienced politician. Despite any liberal attacks on her ability to serve our great nation, there should be no doubt that Palin is qualified in foreign policy and social and economic issues. She recognizes the importance of God in our school and politics and is always willing to fight against policies and influences that have no place in government. Sarah Palin is truly the best choice for Vice President.
