Being a social conservative I have a vary short list of things that are musts and a long list of things that I would like.

Top of the list is strict constitutionalist on the Supreme Court.  Secure the boarders and as a Christian Pro-Life.  Although I believe that last issue is a States Rights issue and not a Federal issue as it is now. 

I also know that businesses make jobs and without jobs everyone is in trouble.  People need to realize that corporations and business do not pay taxes they pass along the cost of those taxes to the buying public.  If they cannot do that then they go out of business or go overseas to make their products. 

Most really wealthy people put a good portion of their money in locations that they do not pay taxes on it.  Small business cannot normally to that so they get hit the hardest on taxes as do families that have two people working. So when they raise taxes they do it on small businesses and working families. Small businesses higher fewer people so now there are more unemployed.  At least that is what my friends had to do to stay competitive.

Illegal immigration has cost the construction industry good paying jobs as in California (my state) if you do not speak Spanish on a construction site you are at a disadvantage.

As a Six Sigma Black Belt I want to look at the facts and not feelings. 

Sarah Palin – Campaigned against the establishment most of her short career.  Then she did something different she actually kept her campaign promises.  She reduced State spending on projects whose costs were not supported by the public good, vetoed earmarks, etc. 

She is short on executive experience but has more than the Democratic ticket and John McCain put all together.  Which says more about who we are going to elect to run this country than it does about Sarah.

I personally would have liked to see a different person, but anyone that can raise children shoot moose, fish and run a state all the time keeping her husband happy seems to me to be one hell of a women.
