Electricity and Politics!

I will tell all of you people out there, I was intrigued by this election, but was not really energized to support John McCain; however, after the stunning Vice-Presidential unveiling on Friday, that has dramatically changed. Since it has been revealed that Governor Sarah Palin of the state of Alaska was announced to be his (John McCain) running mate, I was so excited and completely did a 180 in my support for John McCain. Granted, after the Saddleback forum, I started to warm up to the idea of supporting the Republican ticket after I actually heard his stances on issues, both political and private, as well as listening to his testimony. I still wanted to withhold my judgment until after his VP was announced, I was afraid it would be someone like Lieberman or Ridge, I desired to see a true blue Conservative on his ticket, to show me that he cares about my positions and my vote. He did just that; Sarah Palin is that true blue conservative I was waiting for, not only does she say she is pro-life she has lived it.

The opposition though is still getting over their hangovers and political vertigo, and are now lobbing dirty smear tactics against her family, which in essence proves two things:

1: No matter how much the Democrats scream of Republicans being racist and/or sexist, the liberal’s will tell you they champion equal race and gender rights, but if you so much and oppose their policies, they will tear you apart viciously, regardless of whether you are an African-American conservative or a Female conservative. All you have to do is go back and look at the treatment of Clarence Thomas to see this double-standard on race, and now we have Gov. Palin, which serves as a testament to the double-standard of ALL of the Feminist organizations out there that claim rights for women, but fail to tell you that ONLY women who do what they say, and believe what they believe are entitled to rights.

2: They are afraid of her, afraid of how she can energize the many bases within the Conservative party and beyond. So they throw out that she is inexperienced, which is quite bewildering since Obama has less executive experience than Palin, yet he is the head of the ticket? So after that they attack her family, when they see that the conservatives still will rally behind her and inform the media that “Families are of limits,” then they have to morph again to suit the new cannon brought out to launch their dirty smear tactics. All of this frantic pit-pattering just seems to show the Democrats incompetence and fear, she has only been on the scene for 5 days and already she is being battered; when was the last time Biden’s family was under the microscope? Out of the entire time Obama has been campaigning, has the likes of CNN or MSNBC even ONCE discussed Jeremiah Wright, or William Ayers? No! I mean, if we are going to start this tradition with Palin, why not look at Biden (since he is Obama's VP after all)? Surely we can find SOMETHING his lobbyist son has been involved with being a dreaded lobbyist and all, but you know what I do not care. His family is his private business as much as Palin’s family is hers and this is just the vivid smoking gun evidence of this liberal double-standard.


The media is going after Palin and trying to damage her in someway, I find it disgusting and personally foolish; because this can all backfire. If we are going to discuss all of her personal and private associations, it can QUICKLY turn around and lead to a discussion on all of Obama’s contacts and relationships. So it might be a wise idea to try and put to rest these (some rumoured) family issues, for they are trivial smear tactics that have NOTHING to do with her potential leadership or qualifications as Vice-President.

Other than that I am really excited, where I did not plan on pulling that lever this November I finally find myself able to support a candidate. So I am now registered to vote and this election, McCain just won himself one more supporter and vote.

One funny note though, it seems that when I bring up my potential voting (now official) most people always excited for me to get o the ballot box. I think because of my age, they must think I am voting for Obama. :D

Anyways, I found that kind of hilarious. :\
