According to some, McCain picked Sarah Palin to appeal to women. But let’s face it - Mothers appeal to everyone.
Unlike Hillary Clinton, who would have been America’s first woman to be president; Sarah Palin is going to be America’s first mother.
Moms appeal to everyone because…
1. Moms understand their children.
As America’s Mom, Sarah Palin, has experience being a normal person - not a lifelong politician living in Washington forgetting how their decisions affect every day Americans.
2. Moms get things done.
It’s about time America had a mother. Someone to say: “Hey that’s wrong! If you do that you’re going to get hurt!”
It’s about time America
had someone to look these “sons of liberty” in the eye and say: “I’m
disappointed in you…” someone to go to her adult “children” playing
around in Washington and say: “You ought to be ashamed of yourselves!”
We’ll
watch as “Our Mom” comes out to meet the parades, the rallies, the
protests to end the war; saying to them: “Stop being babies! Grow up
and act like adults!”
Our
Mom will walk in front of soldiers and she will give her boys a little
pep talk. They will hear her encouragement: “I know it’s hard, I know
it’s hot, but you are making the world know about the American spirit;
about liberty, about sacrifice, about perseverance. You make me proud
every day of the American Armed Forces. Keep on to victory and every
American - every real American - will be proud and excited to welcome you home.” Then her boys will give one of the loudest cheers the world has ever heard.
We’ve been asked to think about this “small town mayor” from Alaska,
sitting across from Vladimir Putin; so let’s take a moment to do so.
Imagine Mother Bear sitting there across from Putin and this is what
she is saying: “You better leave my children alone because if you even
think about starting another war I am going to give you the hardest
spanking you’ve ever felt.”
When
gas prices begin to escalate once more, she will stand in the homes of
hard working families where the parents have been laid off from their
jobs because of severe gas prices. She will tell us of their plight. We
will see with our own eyes their seriously sick child unable to be
taken to the hospital because of their shortage of money. Then with
tears running down her face she will ask, no plead, with America: beg to allow drilling in Alaska
and other forbidden areas. She will look into our eyes and we will hear
her say: “Which is more important to you, polar bears or people?”
Are politics boring? Not anymore: Sarah Barracuda is here and she’s here to win. Washington
is going to get the message loud and clear. It’s time to clean up their
room - not next year, not tomorrow, not even this afternoon - right
this very instant.
