Senator McCain Announces...

Governor Sarah Palin!

An excellent choice from the eyes of conservatives. One reason being because she is a she. Another because she is young.

The problem that will be brought up is that he did it only because she is a she. Of course those who say this will only be saying it because they are angry that their candidate choose differently.

I think Gov. Palin will be a great asset to the McCain campaign. She is the first woman since Geraldine Ferraro to be nominated to a vice-presidential role.

You cannot see it but I am smiling. As I have said, this will be a fun election. The problem is that through the fun many are missing the seriousness of the decision that has to be made in November, and that decision has to be made in two months.

I think the stakes are too high and I am still unsatisfied with the same talking points from Democrats and Republicans. I really would like to hear three or four true changes from our two candidates. Something that will help them standout. Something like:

• "Bye, Bye IRS and hello FairTax"
• "Bye, Bye NEA (National Educational Administration), hello vouchers"
  
• How about, "Let's hear it for the Picken's Plan"
• or maybe, "Let's cut federal spending and really strengthen the dollar!"

I just am not hearing that. I do not hear how they are going to fix social security or medicare or immigration. We are on a downhill slope headed towards a brick wall, and no one wants to stand out and push the brake. The unfortunate thing about answers is that someone always resists change.

Their problem is they need to read Visioneering: God's Blueprint for Developing and Maintaining Vision by Andy Stanley. At least it would be a start.
