Teditorial: Sarah Palin Is My Girl

Sarah Palin Is My Girl (unedited version)
by Ted Nugent

With grave suspicion and reservations, I nonetheless rejoice that the fading embers of conservatism may have indeed caught fire once more. That fireball is Gov.Sarah Palin of Alaska, I pray the next Vice President of the United States. Now I know why I have seen no one with any guts in the Republican Party in so long: the governor of Alaska has them all. Her speech last night was clearly a grand slam out-of-the-park home run. America, we have liftoff!

By selecting Gov. Palin to be his running mate, Sen. McCain has finally electrified the conservative base -- the very base he desperately needs to defeat Sen.Obama in November. I, for one, am greatly relieved and inspired by her message, delivery, confidence, poise, class and grace.

To borrow a relative quote from Michelle Obama, with the selection of Gov. Palin, it's the first time in quite some time that I'm proud of the Republican Party.

Gov. Palin is a true outsider, a real maverick. She lacks Washington, D.C. political experience. That's good. No, that's excellent. It is her lack of D.C. political experience that is the refreshing outsider change America so desperately needs and wants.

Palin made it clear that she is like the rest of us, noting how Fedzilla is bloated, broken, ineffective, and wasteful. Our professional politicians no longer work for us, but instead represent K Street bandit lobbyists. These scoundrels deserve our scorn, anger and contempt, and, quite honestly, a big, old pink slip, and Sarah appears to be the tough leader we seek to get the job done.

The level of disgust and distrust across America is appalling and, I believe, unprecedented. A recent poll indicated the Nancy Pelosi-led Congress' approval rating is at an abysmal record low of nine percent. That it is even that high shows how clueless and disconnected the lunatic fringe is.

America needs more outsiders in Washington, D.C. now more than ever. We need more tough, standup hockey moms like Governor Sarah Palin. We need more ordinary Americans to springboard from small city councils to the halls of congress and beyond. We need welders, cops, teachers, ditch diggers, business people, construction workers, secretaries, auto mechanics, and guitar slingers to come to Washington, D.C. and replant the good old "We the People" tree.

Americans need to replace the professional politicians who have rigged and ruined the system to exclude ordinary citizens from participating in this experiment in self-government. My advice is to get angry and vote them all out. The professional punk politicians are the problem, not the solution.

We need fewer lawyers in Washington. Lawyers have created a masturbatory legal system by raping our justice system. It's refreshing to see that neither Sen. McCain nor Gov. Palin is a lawyer. This could be a good start back towards an experiment in self-government. Count me in
.
We need fewer bureaucrats who accomplish nothing but sustaining and growing Fedzilla. Bureaucrats create reams of regulations, rules, and requirements that strangle innovation and punish producers. I expect Vice President Palin to lead the charge with a battering ram to smash in the bureaucratic doors that impede progress instead of enabling it. I had a bumper crop of crowbars this year. I'll donate them all to those willing to swing them.

It's wrong to suggest that just because Gov. Palin is not a career D.C. politician that she lacks the experience and intelligence to lead the nation. She clearly has more executive management experience than Sen. Obama, who has zero experience at running anything. He's not qualified to run an all-night donut shop, much less America.
Gov. Palin is an executive. The mark of an effective executive is to surround herself with bright, talented, capable professionals who share her vision to accurately represent the people they work for: Americans. Chief Executive Officers need to be visionary leaders, not tacticians who micromanage. Her experience demonstrates she is prepared to lead if necessary.

Gov. Palin represents real hope and change. In her case, hope and change are not simply hollow words. As a city councilwoman, mayor and governor, she has achieved tangible results. She exudes energy and passion, has the experience and the skills, and is ready for the job. I couldn't be more excited for America.

In addition to her executive experience, and based on unbiased, genuine research, Gov. Palin concludes that global warming is a fraud, supports drilling for oil in the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge, hunts and fishes, and is a member of the National Rifle Association. What's not to like?
Those pundits and Fedzilla fanatics who proclaim Gov.Palin has no experience to run the country are the very punks who want to continue to feed Fedzilla. They advocate taking more of our paychecks, wasting more of hard earned money, and not being held accountable. I would like to buy these Fedzilla punks a one-way ticket on the express train to Hell.

President Reagan would surely be proud of Sen. McCain's choice of Gov. Palin to be his running mate. President Reagan's words so many years ago ring true once again: it's morning in America.
Last night, a political savior may have arrived. Ted Nugent at your service,Vice President-to-be Palin. I'm your biggest fan. Let's rock.

term limits on congress mr. independent, big-whopping term limits on all of congress, state and local government. bind the hands of pacs and lobbyists, cut them off at the knees and increase the penalties on getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar to something on the order of loss of citizenship for you and your entire family followed by immediate exile to afgahnistan. palin is exactly who our forefathers intended to be a vice president, and exactly who all of us need in that office for the next 4-years...maybe 8 but not a day longer.

Before either VP was announced, McCain said that picking his running mate was the most important decision he would make during his campaign and that he would chose the person who was most qualified to step into his shoes form day one should the need arise.  Then Karl Rove made a claim about Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine’s experience, saying it was hardly enough to be on Obama’s short list and would show a lack of judgment if Obama were to pick him.  I can’t remember the exact quote, but I certainly thought at the time that it would not be wise for Obama to choose someone with so little qualifications as VP.  But Kaine has been Gov for three years and mayor of Richmond, a city of 200,000 before that.  I know how your guys are trying to spin it, but it really seems like a double standard at best, hypocrisy at worst.  

If you want to say that McCain’s many years in the Senate and his time in service make him more qualified than Obama, that is at least an argument that warrants attention.  But Obama has nearly 14 years of public service through the state senate and the US senate, nearly the same that Abraham Lincoln had.  And that is more time in office than Regan before he became president.  Kennedy also came with no “executive” experience.  So for me, I feel that both candidates have the necessary experience – even though McCain unarguably has more.  The deciding issue is who has the judgment, wisdom, and vision to get us out of the mess we’re in and guide us to a better future.  

I do think in the past McCain has shown good judgment, but I am at a lose to see how we can justify Palin as qualified.  That doesn’t seem like good judgment to me.  If someone could explain this to me without the “executive” vs. “legislative” spin, as McCain also has no executive experience, I would really appreciate it.

quite a dilemma. not sure where you're getting your facts about obama's experience, there is so much we don't know about him:


1.  Occidental College  records -- Not released
2. Columbia College records -- Not  released
3. Columbia Thesis paper -- 'not available
4.  Harvard College records -- Not released
5. Selective  Service Registration -- Not released
6. Medical records --  Not released

12. University of Chicago scholarly  articles -- None
13. Record of baptism-- Not released or 'not  available
14.  Illinois State Senate records--'not  available

you certainly cannot compare obama with that of lincoln. the pre-1861 lincoln decidedly beats obama in the category of experience but in all fairness to obama that was a much different era. it is reasonable to say, however, that lincoln had far less formal education compared with obama. but still, we don't actually know anything about obama's education other than what is being asserted by his promoters.

since you seem to be weighting your decision on experience or lack thereof, the challenge your indecision faces is figuring out what kind of experience obama brings to the table. but i suppose that if not knowing his experience qualifies as more experience than knowing that of mccain and palin, then you should probably vote for obama. otherwise you would be hard pressed to not vote for mccain / palin.

Mavericks, huh?

Like John McCain, Palin raised taxes. She also requested big earmark spending. I am not going to just block out all the bad things about these people and vote for them. I am not just going to ignore these things and pretend that McCain or Palin are real Buckley conservatives.  I did that with Bush Sr. , Bob Dole, and Bush Jr. No more.

Mr. Jones,

I understand point. yet we can not let that commie Obama win. he is far worse than Bill Clinton. e must do what we can to stop the commie. I know McCain is a lib and votes with libs, we know this. He is better than a commie. You'll have to admit that.



Atlas

Ted hit a home run with this article using Sarah as his springboard to go off on the Professional Punk politicians we are running the show now.

You make about as much sense as an enviro-whacko who tells you that drilling now won't produce a drop of oil for a few years. Think about it.
