Warning! Political Views!

I am not one much for politics. I have my views, very strong views but i don't often voice my opinion. Especially living in the area that i do, with mostly democrats. I am a Republican. My beliefs, opinions and daily life live up to that. I have very strong thoughts on Abortion, Gay Marriage, Gun Control and Education. I don't think i have every wrote anything about politics on here before until today.

I am so excited for John McCain's choice for VP Sarah Palin. I was pretty excited about Tim Pawlenty being in the running for it too. But after reading about Sarah Palin and her thought, family and life I know i am behind the McCain/Palin party 100%.

Now I am not here to push anybody into being a Republican. But i am just going to share somethings about Sarah Palin that i have read and learned.

First-She is a Working Mom. That's huge to me. Even though her kids have odd names(Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig) she is still a Mom and that is one of her top priorities.
Second- She is a outdoors person. Her family hunts. Like my own family.
Third- She is VERY anti abortion and Very anti gay marriage. She has a son with Down's Syndrome and did not abort him.
Fourth- She stopped the bridge to now where project in Alaska that Congress tried to pass. $400 million dollars of the tax payers money, she vetoed.
Fifth-She has a son in the Army who is going to Iraq.
Sixth-She was in beauty pageants.
Seventh-She has a great sense of style in office! Cute shoes and tailored suits!

A few things I was/am worried about.
**McCain picked her just because she was a woman. But Sarah thanked Hilary for helping pave the road for her. Using a glass ceiling analogy.
** Not much political background. But she was been in/running for public office since 1992.

Just some thoughts! I find no harm in people voicing their opinions to me via the blog! Just stay within some boundaries please! This is just my personal opinion and some info i have found via the Internet. I shall not be held responsible if some of this info isn't 100% correct-its just what i read!
