Are You Ready For an Inauguration Party?

I KNOW I AM!!!!

What was John McCain thinking when he selected his VP nominee? If I had any doubts about Barack beating McCain in the November election before this announcement, they've all been completely erased from my mind.

I know Barack and Joe Biden cannot criticize Palin for being the mother of a disabled child who is only 4 months old, but that is the starting poiny for my long list lists of reasons why Palin is a poor choice for the office of Vice President of the United States.

Well, I earlier gave 5 reasons why I'm voting for Barack. Tonight I offer a few reasons why I think Sarah Palin is a poor choice for VP of our country.

1. Her job consistently comes before her family. While some may applaud this, she is the mother of a special needs child. While, I cannot speak for Gov. Palin and all the women of this world, I can speak about the things I believe. I believe any mother would desire to put the needs of their children first. Gov. Palin did not announce her pregnancy until the beginning of her 3rd trimester and returned to work 3 days after youngest child was born, just 4 months ago. Worse than all of these...Gov. Palin was giving a speech in Texas when her water broke. She flew 8 hours back to Alaska before the child was born. There is something unique and concerning about this thought process.

2. Gov. Palin lacks experience. Serving on a town council and serving as the mayor of a small town...NOT EXPERIENCE. Serving as the governor of ALASKA for TWO YEARS...NOT EXPERIENCE. Do I really need to say anything else?

3. She is against abortion in all cases, including rape and known genetic disorders. While I condiser myself to lean more on the pro-life side of the abortion debate, I do believe that there are certain instances where a woman should definitely have the right to choose to have an abortion. We do not need a VP who will attempt overturn Roe v. Wade. I don't believe abortion should be a form a birth control, but I do believe a woman should have a right to choose to have an abortion.

John McCain may think this "strategic" move may get him some of Hilary Clinton's die-hard supporters...I think this choice is going to back fire on him. My response to this selection...I'm rolling up my sleeves a little higher and working harder to get Barack elected in November.

Let's stay committed to the cause...

Peace and Blessings!
