Who is Sarah Palin? Is she awesome?

Question

So, I heard she is the running mate to McCain. Anyone have more info on her?

Answer 1

Sarah Palin is fantastic, John McCain Hit a home run with her,

She is a true conservative.  She goes by the constitution.

She is for gun rights, she is pro Life, she has busted up corruption at all levels of alaska state government, She has more experience than Obama.

And she is a woman, showing that the democrats dont understand wemon and wemon's rights, Obama was sooooooo stupid to not pick hillary.  Cause he didn't he's finnished.  He had to pick joe biden to teach him how to lead.  Cause obama doesn't have a clue.

Sarah will be fantastic.

Answer 2

Accomplished more than Obama (politically) while demonstrating outstanding ethics and moral convictions.  A leader with real executive experience and a record that is more than "present".

Answer 3

She's amazing, give me a moment to pull up some info...here are a few highlights of her, though:

Palin showed a commitment to her pro-life conservative principles by not bowing to the pressure to abort her mentally-challenged child. Rarely are one's convictions borne out by real-life circumstances, but Palin showed she's willing to live her beliefs.

With a son in the military, Palin will be keenly aware of how her military decisions and the decisions she influences as vice-president will affect the men and women serving in the armed forces. Her oldest son, Trig, is headed to Iraq next month, and Palin and her family will have to grit their teeth along with other military families, as their loved-ones carry out the orders associated with those difficult decisions.

At 44, Palin offers a refreshing balance to the McCain ticket and nullifies any advantage Barack Obama might have with his youth. Palin also brings a refreshing female voice to the debates and the campaign. Furthermore, Palin has a likeable style and toughness that neither Obama nor Biden can match.

Finally, Palin has earned a staggering 90-percent approval rating from her Alaskan constituents, not the easiest people to please. Her committment to her principles and her willingness to follow through on promises makes her the toast of Alaska, the darling of the GOP and, now, the apple of the nation's eye.

FREE MARKET – “I am a conservative Republican, a firm believer in free market capitalism. A free market system allows all parties to compete, which ensures the best and most competitive project emerges, and ensures a fair, democratic process.”

EDUCATION – Click here to read Gov. Palin’s full position paper on Education.

GUNS AND HUNTING - “I am a lifetime member of the NRA, I support our Constitutional right to bear arms and am a proponent of gun safety programs for Alaska's youth….I have always strongly supported the personal use of fish and game by Alaskans. I grew up hunting and fishing in Alaska, and I am proud to raise my children with this same uniquely Alaskan heritage. … Anti-hunting groups who oppose hunting and fishing rights will be the winners if we allow them to pit us against ourselves….As an Alaskan with strong beliefs on this issue, I am confident in my ability to build consensus among diverse user groups and reconcile the many competing interests in a manner.”

SMALL BUSINESS – “As Mayor and CEO of the booming city of Wasilla, my team invited investment and encouraged business growth by eliminating small business inventory taxes, eliminated personal property taxes, reduced real property tax mill levies every year I was in office, reduced fees, and built the infrastructure our businesses needed to grow and prosper.”

MILITARY - “I respect our military personnel and understand the importance of Alaska's National Guard. As I watched our military men and women being deployed I recognized how important it is for their families to know how much Alaska and America support them.”

HEALTH CARE – “I support flexibility in government regulations that allow competition in health care that is needed, and is proven to be good for the consumer, which will drive down health care costs and reduce the need for government subsidies. I also support patients in their rightful demands to have access to full medical billing information.”

SOCIAL ISSUES – “I am pro-life and I believe that marriage should only be between and man and a woman.”

ENVIRONMENT – “Regimes to protect Stellar Sea Lions must be based on sound science not personal agendas…I will fight in every way possible to make sure that our fishing communities are protected from the personal agendas of federal fishery managers”

“I believe in protecting Alaska's environment through fair enforcement of our environmental laws. Having a clean record on environmental regulation is critical to getting ANWR open and maintaining our fisheries mining, timber, and tourism industries.”
