Sarah Palin National Republican Convention speech September 3, 2008.

Palin is honored to accept nomination as Vice President of the United States with running mate McCain. Palin is grateful and starts speech with a multitude of heart-warming thank you’s to the enthusiastic audience. Sarah accepts the challenge and knows how tough fights are won; this is a time for politics and a time for leadership. Palin is a mother of 5. Her oldest son, Track is enlisted in the military and will be deployed to Iraq. Sarah knows about family ups and downs and says, “The greatest joys bring challenge.” Palin pledges to be a friend and advocate once in office. Her face gleams in pride when speaking of her husband Todd and children. Sarah introduces her parents, Chip & Sally, and states, “one of the many things I owe them is a simple life lesson that every woman can walk through a door of opportunity.” Sarah was born and raised in a small town full of honesty, sincerity and dignity: proud of America. Sarah refers to herself as once being an average soccer mom. Sarah jokes throughout her speech. Palin states, “We cannot leave ourselves at the mercy of foreign suppliers.” I feel that Palin is a real person and not just an image on a poster. Palin gives a sense of inspiration for our country’s amazing future and I truly feel she is all about the people of the United States of America. I like the idea of laying more pipelines (as she is well educated on the topic because she is the governor of Alaska). I like that she vetoes waste less spending and gave close to half a billion back to Alaskan citizens. I like family; she is all about it. I am a people person; she is all about the people of the United States of America. I support our troops in Iraq; she is proud of all who serve. McCain will serve our country now like he did while occupying "prisoner or war" status with optimism and anticipation. Palin releases courage, energy and guts from the stage. Sarah Palin's energy should flow through our pipelines for then we would never run out. I rub chill bumps from my arm.
