This is my favorite Palin Picture (Go Mama!)
Below is my Favorite Quote-
(I started another blog to discuss and analyze the meanings):
"But here's a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.
Politics isn't just a game of clashing parties and competing interests.
The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it.
No one expects us to agree on everything.
But we are expected to govern with integrity, good will, clear convictions, and ... a servant's heart."
"But listening to him {BO} speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate.
This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word "victory" except when he's talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed ... when the roar of the crowd fades away ... when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent's plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he's done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger ... take more of your money ... give you more orders from Washington ... and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world. America needs more energy ... our opponent is against producing it."

Many of us wanted HER for those reasons. Here is where she warned American voters. Perhaps it was her motherwit combined with that great smile that distracted some us from listening to Sarah tell us who and what she is about. Had her critics spent time listening to her WORDS, they would have gotten this big Heads Up:

Many thought she was just being mean-spirited...well guess what...they were wrong! The good news in this post is this:
Although tax scandals are more common than some may have realized, many are standing up against the
A. Self-righteousness of those who are "black kettle-calling" that otherwise may not have surfaced so quickly,
B. Thanks in part to the Exponential Information sharing that is successfully galvanizing conservatism
Both of which should be tremendously helpful as all politicians clean up their acts (only God knows how much more damage may have been done), and as we move into a new era of elections!
