Christian Coalition: We love Palin and the GOP’s most pro-life platform yet
The Christian Coalition has issued a statement praising Palin:
Christian Coalition of America commends Senator John McCain for his selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, a pro-life conservative mother of 5 children including a Downs Syndrome baby born during April. Liberal and pro-life columnist Nat Hentoff said about Governor Palin in his column on May 26th: "I offer my unsolicited suggestion for (McCain's) vice president: the first woman – and youngest – governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, who is an unstereotypical and effective Republican."Governor Palin said about her husband's and her feelings about their newest child: "We've both been very vocal about being pro-life. We understand that every innocent life has wonderful potential." She served notice to her Alaskan constituents after the birth of Trig Paxson Van Palin that being the mother of a child of special needs would not hinder her professional commitments: "It's a sign of the times to be able to do this. There is no reason to believe a woman can't do it with a growing family. My baby will not be at all or in any sense neglected." And she added, "I will not shirk my duties."
Roberta Combs, President of the Christian Coalition of America said: "Governor Sarah Palin is a bold choice for Vice President who is a courageous advocate for unborn children. In addition, she is a conservative who is a reformer not afraid to shake up the establishment. I congratulate Senator McCain for his outstanding selection for his vice presidential running mate."
In a separate statement, the Christian Coalition proudly declared that this year's proposed GOP platform contains "the strongest pro-life language ever in the history of the party."

finally a ticket I canblieve in
no longer another none of the above race.
palin is a real person a perfect pick
you got my vote and for the first time
i will try to help
the maverick showed me who he really is
i see the truth in both of them.
I was a supporter of neither candidates. When I seen who John McCain chose, not knowing her at all, I was absolutely floored by his objective choice, and how he kept it silent till the day the media was exposed to his choice! Go McCain/Palin in 2009.
Palin is great! McCain was liked for being a mavrick. lately, he had abandoned it. Now he is back and showing his independence.
Two awsome candidates.
way to go!
You gotta be kidding me. A mother of five, one less then six months old with Downs, with NO real experience but running a podunk state for two years and you guys are impressed. When McThuzeluh drops ten minutes into office, Putin will shopping for furniture for the White House. Loosers.
I cannot support these two as the embodiment of family values. A daffy, misogynist philanderer and a mother of five with a disabled infant...how did it come to this?!
I am so upset. I am tired of “conservatives” telling me they espouse my values and never putting their money where their mouths are. It’s not about wholesome family values...it’s about paranoia politics and oil money.
I am going to look closer at the others or maybe I just won’t vote at all. Ugh.
Wow. Abortions are tragic, but they are not the only issue for a President. I am always alarmed when so many people’s support simply hang on the pro-life stance - and then nothing gets done and the same candidate is still supported. Palin has little to recommend her besides carrying the pro-life viewpoint.
An awesome, surprising, and inspiring decision! Makes the difference of gaining my vote. I was going to vote for Barr.
Palin has already accomplished more in her half-term as Alaska governor than Barack Obama has in his entire political career. And he’s at the top of his party’s ticket? Something ain’t right there.
Finally! A beautiful, smart, woman that majority of woman and men can relate to.
I think she’s awesome!
