McCain and Palin: the Republican's Team of Mavericks whose message is REFORM

The team of McCain and Palin are starting to coalesce into their reform agenda-driven duo, but it's not as quickly as the media would like.

Many of us Republicans are already seeing reform as we watch the McCain campaign stick it to the media. Instead of kowtowing to its elite who have shown they want to destroy our new candidate, Sarah Palin, Davis, Schmidt and company opted to keep her under wraps until they're good and ready.

This approach drives even Chris Wallace nuts, as was clearly displayed today on Fox News Sunday in his interview of McCain's guy, Rick Davis. Wallace pressed over and over for a date Sarah would be debuted to the "press." Davis answered, broken record-style, "when the campaign thinks it's a good time."

Rick Davis and John McCain decide when it's time for the hyenas will pick apart their girl, not the hyenas.

They must continue to be aggressive because the Obama people consistently use the old leftist campaign styles which have thrown more than one unsuspecting, sometimes illiterate electorate somewhere in the world onto their side. Distort, deny, distract, obfuscate and attack...did I miss any?

The Do Not Touch list in my Obama's Do Not Touch book grows. We must use every one of those untouchable items, except for his children, to stay alive because of the Dems huge increases in registered Democrats, mostly the young voters.

But it must be remembered that reform and change is our message, the most powerful one we have domestically.

Hallelujah
This change can now come about because the Republican Party of the last few years is finally over and gone. I'm am a centrist who has felt powerless to change the old boys who couldn't keep their pants zipped, or their hands off easy money and in the meantime help destroy our Party. I've watched the corruption in my own state, on both sides, and have felt powerless to do anything about it. What an inspiring message Sarah Palin has brought. Reform is possible and change is real when you've got someone to lead you!

I was never for Bush, was a McCain supporter forever. It hurt me to see how Bush treated him in 2000. But, I forgave him because I thought nothing would have been worse than Al Gore. I knew back then Dubya was the pleasure-bent son of a good man, which is one reason he didn't appeal to me as a candidate, but eventually I came to think perhaps his character would come out once people took him seriously.

I was right about a couple of things where George Bush, the Younger, is concerned. He is tenacious and quite brave. But his strengths turned into weakness. He showed that he wasn't equipped to handle leadership. Sweet karma, some of his opponents would say. Without that strong example and vision, our party floundered. Of course, there were a few other set backs, like the comportment of Republican Speakers (the fish rots from the head down), as well as the pay back aspect of the Democratic congress and an impossibly hostile press; however, part of leadership is dealing with such issues.

Our other new issues
While I write this morning, a new axis of evil is gearing up to literally surround America with dangerous problems. Iran is busy in the testing business today; Venezuela is working with Russian sailors this morning in the war game game off the coast of Venezuela. In addition, North Korea, those little devils, have reinstated nuclear program, again thumbing their noses at the West. I'll brighten your day a bit here by reminding you that Pakistan is in chaos as we speak, which causes a person to wonder who will get his hands on those nukes first, the new reform government or Al Qaeda. And then there's Georgia.

Team of mavericks
Leadership and vision, reform and change, led by a Team of Mavericks. That's good; now let's see how the campaigns match up in these brand new life and death challenges, not the least of which is the Republicans resisting capitulation to a press corp that resemble the dogs that used to chase me on my runs. This is the same media, by the way, who stood in the way of progress in Iraq and distorted our foreign policy positions. So far, so good.

Of course, the McCain campaign won't turn his other maverick loose yet. Why would they? Leaders decide when and where, not the other way around.

Thanks for the read.
