Lately I have heard a lot about Sarah Palin, the former Alaskan Governor, and VP candidate. Most people would assume, me being conservative,that I support her for president in 2012. Let me set the record straight. With all respect to Palin, I do not support her for President. Not now, nor have I ever.
One reason I do not is that she just is not experienced enough. Before becoming Governor for the past three years, her leadership experience was as extensive as being a mayor of a town comparable to the size of my own school district. She was also on the PTO for many years. I am not bashing the PTO, but it simply cannot be a prerequisite for Commander in Chief of the greatest country the world has ever seen.
Furthermore, Palin lets her social and religious views cloud her judgment in many cases. I am a strong spiritual man, but I realize certain instances cannot include my beliefs. Mandatory prayer in schools and refusal of abortions after being raped are a couple examples. Gay marriage is on that list as well. All of which, Palin would disagree with me.
I have a lot for respect for Sarah Palin, but I cannot, and will not support her should she run in 2012. Were she to run for Congress, I could back that instead.

About Me
- Trevor J. Pollo
- As you all know by now, my name is Trevor Pollo. I have lived in Lansing, MI my entire life, I'd I have witnessed firsthand the repercussions of government policy gone awry. I have seen more job loss in my hometown then many people will ever see in their state. While we support a special interest group that represents 1/4 of a single percent, we witness millions more on the streets with no one to turn to. We tell them that it is just "too bad" that it ended that way. That is not the case. Responsible spending, individual liberty, and personal accountability for all is the only true way to advance our society, not just today, but for generations to come.
