McCain pick Governor Palin (Rep. Alaska) and a woman too

I think things just got interesting. The historical nature of this election is now monumental. The first serious female VP candidate in the Republican party. The first black Presidential candidate in the Democratic. I am now excited about the opportunity to elect the first female VP and much more open to supporting the McCain ticket. I will address in another post why I pray daily for Mr. Obama but hope that he does not win the presidency. Hopefully those of us who are theologically-conservative Christians will have in 2012 or 2016 the opportunity to elect the first female president in America who is a social and fiscal conservative and more importantly strongly pro-life. Mike Huckabee once well said that for pro-lifers that “we believe that life begins at conception but it doesn’t end there.” I think that Mrs. Palin will be able to articulate and help win our culture over to the pro-life position. Once that occurs abortion will be a moot issue.

I am hoping that McCain gets a big boost for his pick and I hope this is only the beginning of Mrs. Palin’s national career. I also hope Mrs. Palin takes the opportunity to explain why pro-life people are pro-life and not pro-death. Mrs. Palin will have a national platform to explain her choice to have her last child whom doctors advised killing while in the womb simply because it had downs syndrome. The issue for those of us who are pro-life is just that, it is all about life. We are pro that is to say for life, even life that is not convenient or going to be easy for the woman caring it to term. I think Mrs. Palin will able to speak to that issue better than anyone else since she and her husband had to make the decision to have a child with down syndrome. I think that Mr. McCain has now made a powerful case to vote McCain-Palin. I hope that they win and the McCain ticket now has confirmed two more votes from my wife and me. The Maverick made the right choice and I hope America does as well.
