Sarah Who? Proud Mayor of Wasilla, Pop. 5,500

Before her meteoric rise, just two short years ago Sarah Palin was the mayor of Wasilla, a population of about 5500 people. Thinks creationism should be taught in our public schools, homosexuality is a sin, and life begins at conception. She’s a gun-toting, hang ‘em high conservative.

McCain Campaign: There are no uninsured-Wow!

Why McCain would be a mediocre president

(Rosie's notes: And now for something completely negative. McCain has squandered his career and has nothing to show for it. What experience is he touting? How many times will McCain be wrong and Obama be right for people to understand? McCain = Bush)

Welcome to the Blog

Welcome to my blog. Just a quick introduction...I am a regular citizen not being paid by or coordinating with any political organization to my knowledge. (The payments I am sure of...coordination is what is up in the air...I'm just not sure of the legal definitions here.)

Anyways...the basic premise of the blog is two-fold. One to re-iterate why I am supporting Barack Obama for president and second to re-iterate why I am opposed to John McCain. You will find that the recurring theme is that articles about Obama tend to make me fired up and ready to go, while articles about McCain tend to remind me that he is equal to or worse than George W. Bush. But my snarky comments aside...please follow my links and read the articles for yourself. It is up to you to make up your
own mind.

Fired up? Fired up! Ready to go? Ready to go!
Can we finally return America to the heights that it deserves? Yes, we can!!!
