WHY LT. COMMANDER MCCAIN (RET) CHOSE SARAH PALIN TO BE HIS WINGMAN

HER COURAGE.

John McCain is a man of tenacity, integrity and courage.

He's been a maverick for decades - taking on any and all, tackling the big issues, calling them as he saw them.

He wanted as his veep someone he could trust to have the same courage. And ethics.

That's why he chose Sarah Palin - who brought down a sitting governor -- from her OWN party, and replaced him and cleaned up her state's government. That's courage.

CAN ANYONE NAME ANY OTHER GOVERNOR WHO HAS DONE THAT!?

You can't, because there isn't one.

And she and her husband just gave birth to a baby with an extra chromosome. She went to work three days later.

She and her family are living proof of the sanctity of life and the ethos of hard work. And courage.

McCain could not have chosen a better wingman.

As for Obama's ethics: HE HAS NONE: He is for infanticide; he played ball with the Chicago Machine; he reneged on his promise to stick with public financing; he reneged on his promise not to run in 2008; and so on.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
