Now is the Time for Republicans GOP JOHN McCAIN Choses VP nominee Ms. SARAH PALIN
GOP= Republican Ticket- Nominees Ms SARAH PALIN (VP) and JOHN MCCAIN (President)
GOP Presidential nominee John McCain, known to be a bit independent minded and a maverick ( although he voted with President Bush more that 95% of the votes) decided to shake up the establishment by bringing in the Governor of Alaska as the GOP's nominee for Vice President of United States.
With speculation galore on the choice, which McCain had months to ponder- as his nomination was finished much before the Democrats- came up with a selection which is intriguing.
Ms Sarah Palin (44) is no doubt a brilliant person and has very interesting factoids as well. She was a Beauty pageant runner up - a prominent member of Christian athletes society and is a Life member of NRA, who hunts and fishes and even worked in commercial fishing and was also a star point guard in school basketball!
Born in Idaho and then in Alaska most of her life, the city councilor and Mayor was appointee to regulate Alaska Oil and Natural gas and seems to have worked closely with law enforcement and even fingered her own top honchos at the Republican hierarchy in Alaska and got many of these Republican folks convicted and fired for corruption along the way! Yay for Sarah!
The GOP's VP is married to an Eskimo Yupik native, whom she eloped with and marrried and has five children. she is Anti abortion but pro Contraception and against same sex marriage BUT vetoed a legislation and HELPED Gay couples in Alaska get benefits of common law marraige etc. Oh apparently she has admitted to smoking Marijuana in school as well!
Sounds Interesting to say the least.
