United We Stand, Divided We Fall Into Obama’s Hand..

Like most of our friends, my wife and I were ready to vote against Sen. Obama prior to his unfortunate pick of Sen. Biden as his running mate.
For a man from such humble beginnings who has risen to multi-millionaire status in just forty-six years. Obama’s notion that our country not yet good enough to suit his standards of fairness, equality, and opportunity just rings a bit hollow to those of us who have worked so hard to reach our dreams.
Obama’s idea that our nation owes the American dream to anyone who can crash our borders is frightening. Obama’s view that when we strive to do better for ourselves we have somehow been unfair to those who make no effort of their own, is wrong and unjust.
Sen. Obama’s ideas for change in America are far too dangerous for anyone who cares about our future to withhold his vote for Sen. McCain, just because McCain is not conservative enough.
Now that Gov. Palin has entered the picture the thought of voting for McCain feels less like blackmail and more like preparation for a brighter future. I don’t care if any displaced Clinton supporters vote McCain/Palin this November. We do not need the support of anyone who is so dogmatic about voting for a woman just because she is a woman.
Gov. Palin’s firsthand experience with ANWAR will bring needed clarity to the national debate about accessing our own oil reserves rather than spending billions of our dollars on oil that is owned by Islamic expansionists. Her understanding of the rights of firearms ownership and her experience at running a private business as well as running a state far exceed the limited scope of Obama and Biden combined.
When it comes to the issues that matter most to our safety and security a woman who has a proven history of performance that is grounded in the realities of faith, freedom, and family can be trusted to make the right decisions.
I can support four years of a McCain administration that is balanced by the influence of Vice President Palin. I look forward to the leadership of a woman president whose charm, ability to connect with the people, and conservative values inspire folks to compare her favorably to Ronald Regan.
