*Scroll down for Biden-related life-begins-at-conception update*
Here’s some good news for readers who didn’t like my first Palin post: I am one voter with an opinion, and I doubt I will influence anyone. Besides, I planned to vote for John McCain, reluctantly, before he selected Palin, and I still plan to vote for him. In a million years I’d never knowingly vote for an infanticide supporter, and McCain is the only viable option.
Based on right-leaning blog posts and mainstream media stories I’ve read, most Republicans and conservatives are satisfied with McCain’s choice. I’m not, but this election season leaves much to be desired anyway. The Republican party, in its current state, has changed the meaning of conservatism.
Anyway, McCain’s numbers are up, and Palin seems to have energized Republican voters. There are a few people here and there who feel otherwise, though I’m probably the most vocal. But hey, this is only a blog, right?
Now that both hyped-up conventions are over, it’s time to focus on the issues. My opinion of how she raises her children aside, here is what I like about Sarah Palin:
- She is pro-life in the extreme. She believes abortion is wrong even if a woman is raped, just as I do.
- She opposes the use of government funds to kill the unborn.
- She opposes embryonic stem cell research.
- She believes marriage is defined as between only a man and a woman.
- She supports teaching Intelligent Design in government schools.
- She supports the constitutional right to bear arms.
- She believes in a market-based approach to health care.
- She is pro-military and believes in strong national defense.
That’s a good place to start. What do you like about Sarah Palin? Don’t like?

Update: John Kerry and Joe Biden are both fools. Each believes life begins at conception, but supports a woman’s right to snuff out that life.
Also see Kerry Says He Believes Life Starts at Conception from 2004.
Michelle Malkin gets to the point: “Slick Joe Biden admits: Yes, I’m a cold-blooded murderer.”
