15 reasons to like Palin

and why Janet Folger says Governor Palin on the ticket will lead to McCain's victory in November:

1) She is solidly pro-life. When running for office, Palin called herself as "pro-life as any candidate can be." But what about the tough cases? She's not only right on paper; she's put her faith to action. In April of this year, Palin gave birth to a child with Down syndrome and feels blessed that God chose her to care for this special baby.

2) She is pro-marriage. Palin opposes redefining marriage. She supported the Alaska Constitutional Amendment to protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman, which passed in 1998 by nearly 70 percent.

3) She is pro-God. While a lot of people talk about God and claim Christianity, we judge a tree by its fruit. And Sarah has it. We can see it all the way back to high school where she headed the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and led the team in prayer before games.

4) She's fiscally conservative. As mayor, Palin kept her campaign promise to reduce the salary of the office and reduced property taxes by 40 percent. Homeowners can stand up and cheer. Shortly after taking office as governor, Palin auctioned the state's jet on eBay. Taxpayers can now cheer – finally someone who'll pass up the perks to serve us.

5) She is pro-drilling. Palin has been an articulate spokesperson for drilling, including opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, in direct opposition to Obama, Pelosi and the Democrats who insist we buy our gas from the terrorists.

6) She is a woman. The 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling are about to shatter. Thank you, Hillary, for helping to pave the way. But Palin's not just a woman – she's the right woman.

7) She has executive experience. She is the only one running who has the executive experience needed to help lead this country.

8) She is outside the Beltway. You could hardly get farther outside the Beltway than Sarah Palin in miles and in philosophy.

9) She is pro-gun. A life-long member of the NRA, Palin is someone who really believes in the Second Amendment. She woke up at 3 a.m. to hunt moose with her father before going to school. When that 3 a.m. call comes, she's already up and ready.

10) She is pro-defense. She was visiting the troops in Kuwait and wounded soldiers in Germany long before she was running for vice president. That other guy didn't even visit them when he wanted to become commander in chief. Her son, Track, enlisted in the Army on Sept. 11 of last year and will be deployed to Iraq on Sept. 11 of this year.

11) She is against corruption. Palin fought corruption even within her own party and publicly questioned Republican Sen. Ted Stevens about the federal investigation that resulted in indictment.

12) She is young. The youngest governor ever to hold office in her state. Younger and more experienced than what's-his-name.

13) She has already won over McCain opponents. Dr. James Dobson, who has said in the past that he would not vote for McCain, with Palin on the ticket, is now enthusiastically behind him with "the same excitement he felt when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated."

14) She turns voters into workers. Callers on my radio program who were previously apathetic said the choice moved them to tears and would move them to action. It has not only turned non-voters into McCain voters, it has turned those who were only planning to vote into those who are willing to work – and work hard.

15) She represents "change." While the other ticket talks of "change," the first woman on a GOP ticket is a far cry from the same ol' same ol' Washington insider choice Obama made.

The Republican Party is breathing fresh air. And hope is now more than just a word in this election.

15 reasons not to like Palin..

1. She lied about saying "no thanks" to the bridge to nowhere.
2. She lied about firing the executive chef.
3. She couldn't sell the plane on eBay. She ended up selling it to a campaign contributor for a loss.
4. She abused her office to try and get her ex-brother-in-law fired.
5. She is a racist and a sexist. She was overheard commenting that "Sambo beat the bitch" when Obama clinched the Democratic primary.
6. She charges the taxpayers a per-diem expense for sleeping in her own bed.
7. She has requested more pork spending per head for her state than any other governor.
8. She is a hypocrite for pretending she is against earmarks.
9. She is so inexperienced that her handlers haven't let her take one question from the press yet.
10. She tried to ban books in her local library when she was mayor.
11. She doesn't believe in teaching kids about contraceptives and safe sex.
12. When she was mayor she made rape victims pay for their own rape kits.
13. When she was mayor she spent millions on a hockey rink even though the town didn't have clear title to the land it was built on. They are still sorting out that mess at huge cost to taxpayers.
14. She thinks that the war in Iraq is God's will.
15. The only difference between her and Ted Stevens is lipstick.

These lies have all been proven untrue, especially that lie in library, so you obviously aren't living up to your name, but are drinking at the font of Daily Kos-niaks where it's watering racism and misogyny to flourish like black poisonous mold and grow on the prison walls of left.

No.. actually some of them are true. The per diem is true.. she charges when she stays at home in Wassila.

The Hockey Rink story, according to the WSJ, is true.

She flip-flopped on the Bridge to Nowhere. Supporting it at one point, and then withdrawing that support.

It is true she didn't ask for books to be banned, she asked the Librarian if she would be willing to ban books if she (Palin) asked. Which is kind of a weird think to ask in my opinion.

The "sambo" remark has only 1 source, and second hand at that, so we need to wait... I don't think it's fair to make that charge until there is better evidence. That sort of thing will follow you for a long time.

The whole brother-in-law thing is pretty murky, and I just don't have time at the moment to delve into them. But, however, some of them are true, so I don't think you can really say that they are all false.

As for rabid Lefty attack-dogs. Yep there sure do exist. But are no worse than the rabid Righty attack dogs... think Rush, Ann Coulter and Michael Savage. To name 3.

Your #2 Reason to vote for somebody with the country in the crapper is because they don't want gays to get married?

Re-prioritize you bigot.

The economy is in the crapper, America's kids are dieing in Iraq and you still give a crap about gays getting married? .. worthless.
