Governor Sarah Palin - Thank you.

Governor Palin was a breath of fresh air in a stuffy, arrogant, self centered, snobbish, and elitist world of Presidential Politics. John McCain and Barry Obama are both snobbish elitists. So was Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Romney, Crist, etc and the list goes on.
Look at the record. Governor Palin has 85% approval rating in Alaska. Even after the title of Governor was attached she can still be found talking with a voter in a grocery store or a school meeting. Governor Palin worked to get help and care for her constituents. She represents the voters that elected her. How many Governors in America have this approval rating or talk to voters after an election? I can assure that in Florida if I even approached Governor Crist to ask to speak with him about an issue, I would be shot on the spot. Crist lives in an ivory tower right now and to hell with the people that voted him there. He only worries about the solar pool the people of Florida sacrificed to give him so he could have an energy efficient tan. What about a bipartisan cabinet? Governor Palin created one and works together with them? Can you say this about McCain? It would never happen. Already you see Barry Obama putting together a completely Democrat cabinet and shades of Clinton Administration taking over the White House once again. Where are the women in the glass ceilings that Obama whined on and on about? Poor Toot, she worked so hard and was slammed by the glass ceiling. I don’t see Barry Obama paying his male and female staff the same, much less equalizing male and female representation in the government. I certainly don’t see Barry Obama praising his American half sister for her sacrifices of caring for his mother and grandmother while he touted his black bail out dad and pursued his own selfish goals.
Governor Palin has a far more balanced cabinet in gender equality. The press and media sliced, diced, and shredded a woman that deserves far more respect in accomplishment than any of the male candidates. I never saw Obama in a speedo carrying a dead fetus. I won’t go there with McCain in a speedo. Everything Governor Palin said was twisted and turned.
Here are the facts: The blacks received freedom and the right to vote in the 1800’s. They did not participate in great numbers in the civil war that gave them their freedom to vote. The civil war was fought with the blood of white soldiers. It is true the civil war was fought over power control of the industrial north trying to access and keep control of the natural resource south, but the boon was freedom and the right to vote for the black slave. Women on the other hand had to fight alone. The women were beaten, starved, force fed, tortured, and imprisoned to obtain the freedom and voting privileges that the blacks were handed. It wasn’t until the 1900’s that women obtained their freedom and right to vote.
Here we have it again. Geraldine Ferraro, a democratic vp candidate, was also boiled in the oil of media and the press. Not once was it said for either woman that this was a bold and innovative move. Not once were people reminded that Indira Gandhi was the greatest leader India ever had, Golda Meir was one of the greatest leaders Israel every had with her folksy kitchen cabinet. Did we forget that Queen Elizabeth I was the greatest ruler Britain had? Did we forget that Russia still touts Catherine the Great? Have we forgotten that Bhutto was slain because she also dared enter a male dominated world?
Governor Palin is my Princess of Hearts. Just like Princess Diana that was sliced, diced, and shredded by the inner elitist camp and the media, Governor Palin is my princess of the heart.
Thank you Governor Palin for being strong and living through the nightmare you had to endure. Thank you to the First Dude for being the truly strong and self confident male he is. Thank you Governor Palin for being an icon and shining light in a dull, stuffy, snobbish, and patriarchal world.
