So…what have we learned about Sarah Palin?
Well, we have learned that she is ambitious, brave, tough, crafty, stubborn and very human. She has adjusted her stand when she understood that certain positions were politically unwise and counterproductive (right moves for the wrong reasons?). She makes some statements about what is God’s will based on her dispensationalist, pentecostal, right-wing evangelical mindset. She has made statements that are not accurate or particularly truthful. In other words, she is a politician with all the positives and negatives.
My conclusion (which, I confess could change prior to the election) is that she is just like the others in this race. So, our choices are narrowed down to two sets of questionable candidates. Good grief! What will I do on election day? At the moment, I am going to write in Ron Paul. Yes, I’m going to throw away my vote to make a statement.
Here is my prayer: Dear God, send us someone with integrity who is honest to the bone and will put the good of our nation above personal, special or party interests. Amen.
