Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin appeared at a rally at the Colorado Jet Center in Colorado Springs Saturday in front of thousands of supporters.

Sarah Palin took the stage first and spoke for about 12 minutes to introduce Senator McCain.

Palin said in part, "This is absolutely spectacular. This is so great to be here in Colorado Springs, and those mountains behind us remind me of home, and you certainly know how to make us at home. I'm so honored to be here, in company of John and Cindy McCain, the next president of the United States. Colorado is going to be a hard-fought battle, but we will win and we're counting on you now."

Palin also spoke of her son who is in the Army and is scheduled to be deployed to Iraq next week on September 11.

McCain began his speech by saying he was honored to be at the home of the Air Force Academy and the home of many servicemen. He also spoke about Colorado Springs being the home of many Olympians for years of training, including wrestler Henry Cejudo.

McCain drew great applause when he exclaimed, "My friends, we're going to win this election and we're going to win it in Colorado."

Palin did not leave the country until June 2007! She has had a passport for 15 months! And shes going to be the back up to a 72 year old guy that had face cancer 4 times.

Kevin, Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white. Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd. Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior. His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.
