I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.

SARAH PALIN, small town american
Sarah Palin a small town American. More in a moment.
Sarah Palin, the current governor of Alaska, a virtual unknown in the national political ring has been thrust into the national spot light by being tapped as the 2008 Vice Presidential nominee for the republican party. What can a first time governor possibly know about national and foreign policy? What can she possibly bring to the table of serious political thought?
I consider myself a well informed individual when it comes to political issues, and I have very strong opinions on all of them. They are based on knowledge, small town values, and god-given common sense. I do not agree with all "right wing" thoughts nor do I disagree with all "Left wing" thoughts. I make up my own mind. I am a product of "small-town America", as is Sarah Palin.
Small town America, where you can leave your doors unlocked and your car running on a cold winter day with out fear of it being stolen. Small town America; where neighbors watch out for one another. Small town America; where going to church is OK. Small town America; Where they still say the pledge of allegiance, and God is not a dirty word. Small town America where it is taught that all things are possible. As the small business is the backbone of our economy, the small town is the backbone of America.
Sarah Palin brings to the national political arena her life's knowledge of small town America, and the sense of right and wrong that comes with that upbringing. Between the megalopolises of the East and West Coasts of America there are tens-of-thousands of small towns, and all have these values. They/we, are the silent majority. We are educated and informed. We know the difference between feels right and feels good. We know there is no gray area; it is right or it is wrong. We take responsibility for our action. Sarah Palin is what we would do if we were her. We are small-town America.

OH MAMA VOTE OBAMA
"O-BA-MA, O-BA-MA, O-BA-MA."
It's a sound that now sings through this great nation of ours. Old and young alike are singing his name. The great senator from IL, our savior to bring us out from the "Bush's" and into the light, or so they believe. But, who is this man? More in moment.
I only know him for what I see and hear on television and that is only what he wants us to know. So far I see a lot of flash but not much substance. He, like all the candidates are promising us all kinds of things, Obama says the "big corporations" will pay his $800 billion price tag for social programs as does "Billery." McCain says we all will pay.
Having the big corporation pay sounds so good, and to some, so right, there's nothing out of my pocket, how wonderful. But let's examine that theory. We all work, have worked, or have some dealings with BIG BUSINESS. I don't care what you do for work this is a true statement. Knowing what I know about business and if it were my business that was going to get a huge tax increase I would be passing it on, in one form or another to my consumers, because my investors whether it is me or my stockholders are not going to stand for a reduction in profit or dividends. So who pays in the end? We do of course. So you must decide which is better.
Some say that Obama is not electable. Inexperienced, color, are just some of the reasons being said. Regardless, it is a lose-lose situation. We, as a nation lose if he is elected, lose money out of your pockets in higher taxes and a bigger welfare sate. If he is not elected all "whites" will be branded as racists making the racial divide in this country the size of the Grand Canyon. What to do?
Listen to the facts, Remember, in politics like divorce there are two sides to every story and then there is the truth. We must search and dig for the truth. Don't vote your heart, the heart can be deceived.
