Back After a Hiatus

Hi there to all my readers.

I know it's been some time since I have posted. Unfortunately, due to medical difficulties I've been unable to post for sometime. However, we're back and ready to get back into the groove again. Stay tuned for political information geared specifically to conservatives, and especially the conservative women out there today.

Now, before I close, I just have to make a few political comments. Since my last post, Barack Obama has become our president, and I must say I'm already upset at the way he is running his administration. Let me give you a few examples.

First of all, he has a tax evader as a part of his cabinet, Geithner. This man will be overseeing money and treasury affairs and advising the president, yet he skipped out on his taxes to the tune of thousands. President Obama...what exactly were you thinking? Oh yes...that's right...you weren't.

Another issue is the closing of the prisons in Guantanamo Bay. Now we're bringing the terrorists here. Some of them are going to get away with their crimes. Since when did we give terrorists special rights? It's war time...they attacked our country...our people died...and now Obama is going to make sure they get "fair" treatment.

Let's not forget the Mexico City Policy, which is a ban on the funding for international groups that fund abortions. Within his first two days, Obama lifted this ban so that now we can give our governments money to international groups to help out with abortions around the world. How sick!!! It's not enough to kill babies in our country, but now we are funding it around the world? No wonder we are in an economic crisis.

With these three bad decisions that have been made already, I'm a bit leery of the future with Obama as our president. Within two days the man made two disastrous decisions that are despicable. What's next?

The Republican National Convention

Well, the Republican National Convention is now over. The banners have been folded up, the stadium returned to normal, and the delegates have gone home. So, you may be wondering, what will everyone retain from this convention???

Change. Sure, it's the slogan that the Obama campaign has been running on for so long, but I believe that the McCain/Palin campaign has effectively borrowed it...and I'm not sure they're giving it back.

All through the convention it was made clear that McCain was not the typical Washington insider that was a "die-hard" republican. He was portrayed as a maverick that would get the job done, no matter what party he had to work with. I like this! Party...it's great. It aids the process in our country, but it shouldn't be the defining factor in a campaign.

It was good to see Senator Joe Lieberman up there speaking at the convention. A democrat, turned independent, turned McCain supporter...we may have never seen this happen before. Appealing to democrats to stop just voting for a party, but to vote for a man that rose above party to really offer change...yes...change you can believe in.

Governor and VP nominee Sarah Palin's speech really stood out to me as well. She showed off her experience (which many people have been questioning), highlighted that she has a family like any other with problems and joys alike, and did a top class job at showing where her opponent had some key downfalls. I think my favorite quote was when she went after Obama's experience, saying "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities."

Of course, then there was the speech of John McCain himself. I enjoyed what he had to say about education reform, letting people know he'd allow parents to choose schools, increase pay and benefits for good teachers, and "...help bad teachers find another line of work." He made it clear that he was the man who would really make a change, and at the end of his speech he drove the point home. "Let me offer an advance warning to the old, big spending, do nothing, me first, country second Washington crowd: change is coming."

Now...this is a ticket I want to vote for, and I believe McCain/Palin ticket offers a great choice for the conservative women out there!

Here's a quick video of the highlights from the Republican National Convention.

Politics for the Conservative Woman

As a woman, a republican, a work at home mom, and a wife, I find myself very interested in politics. I have never been one to sit by the sidelines and let things pass me by, and I don't believe that women should be uninformed and passive about politics.

Unfortunately, when it comes to politics for the conservative woman, I have found that there are very few informational resources out there that are specifically geared towards women who are conservative - so, I decided to change that.

It's about time that conservative women become more informed, speak out, and make the country see that our vote is important. I've seen so many democratic women really working to make a difference, and even if I don't agree with some of their politics, I do admire their ability to stand up and be counted as women.

Well, it's time that conservative women do the same. So, here you will find a blog that takes a look at politics from the perspective of the conservative woman. It is written by a conservative woman for conservative women. If you're ready to get a conservative look at politics that relates to you as a woman, then stay tuned as we get started.
