The Middle is Always Evil

Yesterday I posted a brief blurb about Sarah Palin, but I wanted to elaborate on my endorsement of her, seeing as how last time I only mentioned her looks. There are several good strategic and ideological reasons to support John McCain nominating this woman for VP.

First, strategy.

The fact that she’s a woman makes her a more appealing choice. Like it or not, there are disgruntled ex-Hillary supporters ready to vote for anything with a set of ovary.

Face it. If she were nominated for Vice-President, McCain would get near 100% of the male vote. Even if a guy said he was going to vote Obama, he’d be lying. Either way, she’s probably the only person that could get Bill Clinton to vote for a republican.

Now the ideological stuff.

Palin is a firm supporter of The Second Amendment, and a member of the NRA. I bet she’s pleased about the big news this morning. This is huge, because I don’t think I could stomach another anti-gun presidency. But then again, John McCain is, well… Not a big gun rights guy. We’ll see what happens with that.

The other thing that I love about this woman is her energy policy. Just check out this video:

Liberate, de-control, de-regulate the whole energy business, says Kudlow. And she agrees! Come on! Who could not want her? We need someone in the White House espousing energy independence; this is absolutely crucial if we want a stable economy, and she hits the nail right on the head.

Not only does she have a great energy stance, but she has more balls than most of her male counterparts, threatening legal action against the Federal government if they don’t reconsider and change their absurd listing of polar bears on the Endangered Species List, a move that has the potential to cripple industry in Alaska completely.

Perhaps the best thing about Sarah Palin, though, is her outspoken efforts in the area of government transparency. At the start of her term in office, she pushed for the creation of a website that reports all of Alaska’s spending over 1000$. Since tax money is money taken against the citizen’s will, citizens have the right to, at the very least, know how all of it is being spent.

I hope John McCain doesn’t pick Baseballmitt Romney, or some other fake conservative. Palin is the way to go.

By the way, the unofficial campaign website to get Palin nominated is right here, as well as on my blogroll to the right. Pay them a visit and show your support.
