Why courage Matters

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

John McCain is running to become the next President of the United States. I for one would like to get a bit of insight on his ideals, mentality on democracy, and attitude towards courage before I place my important vote. Why Courage Matters: The Way to a Braver Life written by McCain, is a memoir describing his thoughts and meditations on what it takes for a country to stand tall and strong. With accounts from his POW internment during the Vietnam War (as well as other specific times in his life), McCain was able to gain the strength of mind, body, and spirit in order to eventually be the one to lead the country through acts of leadership and courage. Why Courage Matters is an important read for any person (Republican or Democratic) who wishes to understand why McCain is the man he is today, and to appreciate the platform that he is running on. This political book is offered as a hardback copy, paperback, through the Amazon Kindle, audio download, or audio CD. It can also be sent next day shipping if you want to get your hands on a great read fast!

Sarah Palin Biography Paperback

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

In case you have been living under a rock or a really big tree, John McCain has asked Alaskan governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate in this years Presidential Election. But the question is, how much do you know about Sarah? I for one would like to read up on her (and her Republican background) as much as I can in order to have the best idea of whom I am voting for. Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska’s Political Establishment Upside Down, is an illustrated paperback published by Epicenter Press and written by Kaylene Johnson has recently been reprinted for the public. This biography is all about Sarah’s 2006 election into the Alaskan state government, and how her strong-minded ethics allowed her to become Alaska’s first (and youngest) female governor. The book also illustrates Sarah Palins drive and ambition as she was at first considered nothing but a long shot, but how her “barracuda” nature quickly won over her opposition in a landslide victory. Her acts in government had enough backbone to help reform many policies and helped bring politics back to the people. If John McCain thought it prudent to ask Sarah to be the next potential Vice President of the United States, perhaps we should see what she is all about.
