Why Southern Women Love Palin!

Sarah Palin seems to be someone who appreciates family values. She is raising her family while working at something for which she is passionate. We read about her going to soccer games, joining the PTA, and firing the chef provided for the governor and cooking for her family. We see her experiencing the joys and trials of raising a special needs child. We see her dealing with the issues one faces when raising teens.

Seems alot like what we do on a daily basis doesn't it?

This alone should be a primary reason to vote for Sarah Palin. She is a working mom dealing with her job, her children, and a marriage. When I vote I choose a candidate whose views closely match mine on the issues that are important to me and nothing is more important than my family.

I feel Palin will show an interest in education and family. These broad topics include such things as day care, health care, hunger,women in the work force, taxes, teacher pay, school policy, and so much more.

If she follows through, like I think she will, in the next 2 months she will definately have my vote.

We southern women are big on family values, and Palin is the only candidate I see making a family meal after a long work day and sitting down to enjoy it with her family.

OK! We have all heard the story and we all have our own opinions. What we need to realize is that this is a family matter and we should give the Palin fanily our silent support and our prayers, not our scorn, in their time of need.

If you are a parent you must realize that things happen. We, as parents, may not be overjoyed by everything our children do but we love them and we support them. The Palin's are showing great strength as they go through this ordeal in the public eye.

It is not our job to try Sarah Palin's daughter, and her parenting, in the court of public opinion. I think we must, as in all things, put ourselves in her situation and think long and hard about what we would do in similar circumstances.

Is this a reason not to vote for Palin? No, if anything it is a reason to vote for Palin! She is facing a difficult situation, she is not trying to hide it, and she will be a more knowlegable and better candidate for it.

If, by chance, your teenage daughter became pregnant, or perhaps already is, I think you and all of us, will benifit from Palin's experience. I don't think this is a policy making issue but I do think it is a human one, one in which she and her family deserve our support and prayers.

So...Southern women, and all women, become informed! Follow the debates, follow legitimate news,visit Palin and McCain's websites.

Above all VOTE for a candidate who will bring family values to Washington. SARAH PALIN!

Educate yourselves on BOTH running mates...

Everyone has their own opinions, decide what is important to you, what would affect your life, how it will affect our country, and what it will do to future generations..

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.

OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.

)

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN
15% (no change)

OBAMA
39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.

')

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN
- 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA
Restore the inheritance tax

Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.

NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA

New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!
