Last night, I watched coverage of the Republican National Convention. I mainly wanted to hear Governor Palin speak, and judge for myself if McCain made a good choice in his Vice Presidential pick.
I was blown away. Governor Palin is confident, has experience in leadership and government, and speaks with honesty. I was impressed with her specific citations of how she decreased spending as Governor of Alaska and addressing specific issues; such as drilling for oil and nuclear power. Much of the talk was an introduction of herself as well.
To sum it up, she fired me up. I finally have a person I would like to put in Washington and believe that she will make a difference. As a team, McCain and Palin will be an awesome balance of what America needs right now.
So, I invite you to participate on this blog with a few requests. Please do not use vulgar or crude language. Be respectful to others...including political figures. If at all possible, blog using your real identity--the accountability factor of our words tends to be remembered better.
About Me
- Heidi
- I've always loved my name, Heidi. It fits me well as I am happy, of (some) German/Swiss descent, and love the mountains. If you are named Heidi and none of these descriptions fit you, I am confident your name fits you in different ways. :) I am a stay-at-home mom, former teacher, wife (my husband is AWESOME just so you know--so are my kids!), sister, daughter, current homeschool teacher, Sunday school teacher, pianist (not super-awesome but okay), singer, sunset lover (meaning I like to look and take photographs of sunsets), hiker, volleyball player, pet owner (though I kind of stink at this one), ocean enthusiast (exploration in it and admiration of it), the favorite aunt (or was back in the day)...I think that covers most of my roles and "occupations". Oh yes, and an in-law and many other family relations titles. I LOVE being the youngest of NINE kids. I was the spoiled baby. I am still spoiled quite often. I feel like even my Father in heaven spoils me! And I'm blonde so please forgive me if I am ditzy at times. I try to be a smart, enthusiastic blonde, but my true colors shine through sometimes. :)

Palin is still relatively new to the national stage. Do you ever wonder if someone will dig up any questionable activities from her political past that might make you worry about her?
Well, I'd say they have dug up some things to dwell on. There's a lot still to come...I'm interested on watching all things play out.
At times I think Obama almost deserves to be President...not because he'd do great but because he would be an absolute flop and perhaps that is what our nation needs to observe to get back to basic principles such as the rights of the individual.
Absolute flop? Those are pretty strong words. What is your definition of an absolute flop?
If I thought Obama were destined to be an absolute flop in the sense that he would never get anything done, I would probably help him campaign. No infringment of my second amendment rights, no expansion of the executive branch, and no new judges appointed - that sounds a lot better to me than what will happen with either McCain or a no-flop-Obama in the White House. Of course, he wouldn't be able to help the economy, but I really don't think either of them will anyway.
Assuming our nation could survive, it might be nice if every congressman and executive officer were a flop just long enough to get fresh blood into every position. There are plenty of exceptionally bright and capable people out there who could figure out how to run this country, and not being tied in to the current "system" and heirarchy on Capitol Hill, they would probably do a much better job.
