8-sarah-palinI’m beginning to like Sarah Palin not because of her unwitty remarks about foreign policies and the 700 Billion dollar bailout but because her stand and principles are undeniably strong. Though it is contradicting that she is for life but she wanted to continue the war on Iraq and bombard Iran for their nuclear projects yet I believe that Sarah Palin just doesn’t understand foreign issues that well. Ignorance about foreign policies can be re-educated but principles about life and morals can be a difficult thing to re-educate, for morals is embedded on man’s heart and not on man’s mind.. I have no political affiliations ever since whether in the US or here in our country. I remain in the sidelines and stay as an observer. In my observation of the US campaign on both sides, I am fully aware that Sarah Palin disappointed the people rooting for her in terms of coherence and wit on the past debates and interview, but what is surprising is that, her moral stand is tangent enough to acquire my respect for her.

First she said she doesn’t believe in any form of marriage other than the conventional man-and woman union and second, she believes in the sanctity of life by going against pro-abortion campaigns. Recently, Palin slams obama in an abortion issue. Obama may have been quite stable and consistent in his explanations but i’m really beginning to question his moral stance on certain issues like abortions, gay marriages and counter-terrorism. I’m beginning to like her. She maybe slow on some issues, but she’s not dumb. Below is the entire news about Palin’s blasts on Obama reagrading the protection of abortion survivors:

Palin Blasts Obama for Opposing Protections for Infant Abortion Survivors
14-October-2008 — Catholic News Agency

Johnstown, Oct 14, 2008 (CNA).- Republican vice-presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin, in a speech at a Saturday rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, has attacked what she called Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama’s “extreme and troubling” stand on abortion. Palin argued that there are few issues more important than who is protected under law and insisted that everyone “belongs in the circle of protection.”

“As defenders of the culture of life, John McCain and I believe in the goodness and potential of every innocent life,” Gov. Palin began. “I believe the truest measure of any society is how it treats those who are least able to defend and speak for themselves. And who is more vulnerable, or more innocent, than a child”

Every innocent life matters,” she continued. “Everyone belongs in the circle of protection. Every child has something to contribute to the world, if we give them that chance. There are the world’s standards of perfection; and then there are God’s, and these are the final measure. Every child is beautiful before God, and dear to Him for their own sake.”

Palin recalled how she greeted the news that her youngest son Trig would have “special needs” before turning to an attack upon Sen. Obama.

“At first I was scared, and Todd and I had to ask for strength and understanding. But I can tell you a few things I’ve learned already.  As for our beautiful baby boy, for Todd and me, he is only more precious because he is vulnerable. In some ways, I think we stand to learn more from him than he does from us. When we hold Trig and care for him, we don’t feel scared anymore. We feel blessed,” Palin said.

“It’s hard to think of many issues that could possibly be more important than who is protected in law and who isn’t ? who is granted life and who is denied it. So when our opponent, Senator Obama, speaks about questions of life, I listen very carefully.”

Palin attacked Obama’s remarks he made in a Johnstown appearance about not wanting his daughters “punished with a baby.”

“It’s about time we called him on it,” she said, charging that the Democratic presidential candidate is “vague and evasive” on the subject.

Palin argued that Obama has voted against bills to end partial-birth abortion, citing Democratic Sen. Patrick Moynihan’s description of the procedure as “too close to infanticide.”

She then noted Obama’s Illinois Senate votes against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA), charging:

“Barack Obama wouldn’t even stand up for the rights of infants born alive during an abortion. These infants; often babies with special needs, are simply left to die.”

She also stated that Obama had misrepresented his record on BAIPA.

“In short, Senator Obama is a politician who has long since left behind even the middle ground on the issue of life. He has sided with those who won’t even protect a child born alive,” Palin asserted.

Noting that there are many concerns at issue in the election, Palin commented:

“It’s easy to forget even as deep and abiding a concern as the right to life. And it seems our opponent hopes that you will forget. Like so much else in his agenda, he hopes you won’t notice how radical his ideas and record are until it’s too late.”

She claimed that Obama would support “activist courts” that will “continue to smother the open and democratic debate we need on this issue, at both the state and federal level.”

Earlier that week, in a Thursday interview with radio show host Laura Ingraham, Palin called Obama’s position on the Illinois BAIPA “absolutely atrocious” and “appalling,” Cybercast News Service says.

“I wish I had more time to explain to people what Barack Obama’s position has been on this. Because I think, Laura, it has been missing out there in the discussion, in the debate, about the choices that they have in candidates on November 4th.”

“I think that if more Americans could understand how absolutely extreme that position is, there would be a heck of a lot more outrage than we already see,” she continued.

Palin also attacked Obama’s BAIPA position while speaking at a town hall meeting in Waukesha, Wisconsin on Thursday.

“What I don’t find compassionate is Barack Obama’s vote, as an Illinois senator, when three times he had the chance to vote to be able to provide health care for a child who was born alive as a result of a botched abortion,” she said.

How about you, what do you think?

    Liking Sarah Palin is totally different from voting for her to become VP. I do like her to be honest, and I enjoy watching her on TV. She has the charisma that could melt the anyone’s heart.

    However, I will not get a job I applied for if I am not qualified right? I could say that I could run Google today and I know in my heart of hearts I know I can’t. Of course the job can be learned – I get that. You still won’t hire me to become CEO of Google even if I told you I can learn the job.

    I am neither a Democrat or a Republican. I am a registered Independent. I will always vote for the one whom I think would be best to serve this country regardless of party affiliation. I hope that many of the voters come November 4th, will think what’s best for this country…
