What's Up With Mitt Romney?

I'm sure you all by now have seen Mitt Romney's remarks about Sarah Palin's looks. I'm not sure if it was meant a joke. Politicians need to quit making jokes. They usually backfire and cause a firestorm. Sarah Palin is definitely an incredibly beautiful woman. I don't think there can be any doubt about that. She's much more, however, than just a pretty face. Romney doesn't need to go down the same road as so many liberals. It also reminds me of those country club Republicans that turned their noses up at her.

I do wonder how much resentment is there that Sarah was picked to be on the GOP ticket in 2008. Romney definitely seemed to be a top contender for the position of John McCain's running mate. He often seemed to be campaigning for the slot. I'm not trying to demean him at all. I said in my first post that I was a Mitt Romney supporter. I had actually wanted him on the ticket with McCain. His business success in the private sector was something I found very important. I was still pleased with the selection of Sarah Palin. I do wonder though if Romney ever got over that though. Maybe Mitt feels like he got passed over for Sarah.

I'm sure that if Mitt Romney is looking at running in 2012 he knows that Sarah Palin will probably be one of his toughest opponents. She will be one of the top obstacles to him winning the nomination. There's nothing wrong if he wants to be critical of her views of the issues and so forth. I think though to make some sort of wisecrack about her being beautiful is not the way to go. There are plenty of people who poked fun at Mitt for being handsome and having great hair. I'm hoping that this was just a bad joke and not something more. Mitt is better than that. I don't want to lose my respect for Governor Romney.

This is a hilarious video done by Conservatives 4 Palin. That's actually one of my favorite blogs out there. I'm sure many of you already check it out. This video is a nice spoof on Romney. I got a kick out of it. Sorry about that, Mitt. :-)

Welcome To My Sarah Palin Blog!

Hello. My name is Keith. I was born and raised here in North Carolina. I am a conservative Republican. I was actually a Mitt Romney supporter during the primary season for the 2008 presidential campaign. I even wanted him as John McCain's running mate. I was very thrilled, however, with the selection of Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate. While I honor McCain for his service to our country, he was one of the Republicans I least wanted to get the GOP nomination. I wasn't sure if I was even going to vote in the election.

When he picked Sarah as his running mate, I totally changed my mind. Sarah's a breath of fresh air. Her values and principles are so in line with my own. I really felt like we had one of our own on the ticket. I could put aside my problems with John McCain and voted for this ticket. I was disgusted with the way that the elites in the media, politics, academia, etc. treated Sarah. They showed that they have no shame at all.

We all know how the election turned out. I'm obviously not happy with the results at all. I think Obama is going to be a disaster for our nation. He's already proving that to be true. The GOP has to get its act together. They had so much going against them this past election. It sure didn't help that the Republican Party had lost its way. It had forgotten what it was all about. It was acting more like an offshoot of the Democratic Party. The last thing we need now is to become even more like the Democrats. We don't need to become more moderate or liberal. We did to get back to our conservative roots. We need to get on message with what it means to be a conservative. We need to let people know that conservativism is the only true route for this country to be the best it can be.

I believe that Sarah Palin is the right woman and candidate to do just that. She has a fantastic life story. She is also a conservative. She's not a RINO. Sarah galvanized both conservatives and liberals. It was great to see the reaction of people to Sarah. Her rallies were so alive and full of spirit. People were very excited to see her on the ticket. She definitely had those on the left fired off. They were foaming at the mouth all the time in their pursuit to destroy her. All of that showed me that Sarah is exactly the person we need. I really hope that Governor Palin will run for President of the United States. The party and the country need her in Washington, D.C. She will have my full support. I'm praying for her.

I know there are plenty of other Sarah Palin blogs out there. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here. I'm not even sure what I'll be posting. I wanted to share my feelings on what's going on with Sarah. I also thought this would be a great way to meet other supporters of Governor Palin. I do plan to update this blog on a regular basis. I hope that you will continue to visit my blog. I look forward to hearing from many of you and getting to know you. Thank you so much.

P.S. I decided to end by first blog post by posting the video of when Senator McCain announced that he had picked Governor Palin as his vice presidential running mate. I've watched this video countless times.
