Obama Enlists Clinton To Help Counter Palin
Obama enlists Clinton to help counter Palin
Rapid-response team of female surrogates is being readied to take on the Republican ticket.
Sen. Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. John McCain, dispatching Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida on Monday and creating a rapid-response team to deploy female surrogates to battleground states, Obama advisers said Thursday.
Clinton's campaign event in Florida, her first for Obama since the Democratic convention, will include a forceful response to the searing attacks and fresh burst of energy that Palin injected into the race with her convention speech on Wednesday, Obama aides said.
With the McCain-Palin team courting undecided female voters, including some who backed Clinton in the Democratic primaries, Obama aides said they were counting on not only Clinton but also Democratic female governors to criticize Palin -- and, by extension, McCain. Those governors include Janet Napolitano of Arizona and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas.
Within the Obama campaign and among Democratic officials nationwide, talks are well under way about how the party should treat Palin in the campaign -- and what Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joseph Biden, need to do to regain the offensive after the Republican convention.
Some Democrats were urging Obama's campaign not to underestimate the potential power of Palin's speech.
On liberal talk-radio shows and on left-leaning blogs, some Democrats said the Obama campaign should fight back hard to avoid being caricatured as Sen. John Kerry was four years ago when he ran against President Bush. Some party strategists warned that Palin's personal narrative as a "hockey mom" with a special-needs child would appeal to some undecided women.
"What McCain has done with Governor Palin's nomination is aim right at a demographic that Obama needs to address quickly: noncollege-educated women," said Mike McCurry, a former spokesman in the Clinton White House.
Advisers to Obama predicted that the buzz over Palin would fade and that the race would quickly turn back into a contest between McCain and Obama, despite the McCain campaign's efforts to compare Obama's experience unfavorably to Palin's. At the same time, even as Democratic researchers pore over Palin's record in Alaska, the rapid-response team is settnig up in Chicago to dispatch female surrogates around the country.
David Axelrod, the Obama campaign's chief political strategist, said Obama would not raise questions about Palin's experience. Axelrod said the campaign would work instead to impress upon voters the seriousness of the race and continue to try to link the McCain-Palin team to Bush.

A what? A who? hahaha Rapid-response team of female surrogates to fight off Palin. hahaha This is rich!
They know they’re in trouble. WOW my very first thought is here is a man that wants to be President and he is sending our WOMEN to fight his battles for him. LMAO
Yeah, c’mon girlie-boy, show us how you’ll stand up to Iran by taking on the GOP.
I realize they are going up against a woman and that is the reason or part of it, but still. This is just too funny. Actually the contrasts between Sarah and Clinton will be striking. I think it was Rush that said Sarah is what guys want as a wife while Clinton reminds them of their ex wife. I’d say for females, Sarah would be someone they want to be friends with while Clinton is a woman at work they can’t stand. heh heh
So what is Hillary Clinton supposed to say in Florida ?
1.. She’s not as experienced as Obama....
2. She has not given us her full background...
3. She hasn’t released her birth certificate..
4.. She’s married and has 5 children, that’s not very Feminist...
5. Barack and Joe are the right team to lead America even though i was well qualified too...Darn !!

Sen.Obama, Served on Behalf of Philip Berg, Esq. Re: Natural-born Citizen or Not
Lawsuit questions Obama's eligibility for office: citenship claim at issue
Pennsylvania's former deputy attorney general and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter Philip J. Berg has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Pennsylvania accusing presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama of lying about his U.S. citizenship, which would make him ineligible to be president.
Mr. Berg is one of a faction of Clinton supporters who haven't heeded the party's call for unity, filing the suit just days before the opening of the Democratic National Convention, which will nominate Mr. Obama as the party's presidential candidate.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia last week, also names the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission and says Mr. Obama´s mother went to Kenya late in her pregnancy and ended up giving birth there. It also claims that later in life, Mr. Obama declared himself a citizen of Indonesia.
The Obama campaign has firmly said the Illinois Democrat is a natural-born citizen. Last month, the campaign posted on Mr. Obama's Web site a copy of his "certification of live birth." It says he was born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, two years after Hawaii was named the 50th state.
Mr. Berg said he was contacted about filing the lawsuit by a member or associate of the group PUMA, which was formed to support Mrs. Clinton shortly after she withdrew from the race. Its mission includes denouncing the Democratic Party and Mr. Obama's nomination.
"I really do not believe he is a natural-born citizen," said Mr. Berg, adding that he is not connected with Mrs. Clinton or her campaign.
OBAMA AND DNC SERVED TODAY WITH BERG LAWSUIT:

Wild Thing's comment........
There was a question as to McCain and Obama being citizens. McCain was cleared long ago but not Obama. Puma has been going after this like crazy ever since the votes were stolen from Hillary and it looks like it is starting to be taken seriously. Maybe , maybe not, this legal stuff is always confusing to me.
Nobody threw the suit out about Obama, the judge simply delayed it until Obama could be served. Well, now he is served, and whether it goes anywhere or not, it will shake up the game.
I wonder how the server got through the secret service? Maybe when Obama said he would do the interview with O'Reilly or was that taped and done awhile back , not sure.
Just out of curiousity, if the candidate had to remove himself from the race at this point, how would they choose another candidate?
OK I just checked with some research and found this:
Per the Rules of the DNC:“Filling a Vacancy on the National Ticket: In the event of death, resignation or disability of a nominee of the Party for President or Vice President after the adjournment of the National Convention, the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee shall confer with the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors Association and shall report to the Democratic National Committee, which is authorized to fill the vacancy or vacancies.”
I doubt though this is going anywhere other then to upset Obama and throw him off balance for awhile. My thinking is this particular suit could be thrown out since Berg ‘claims’ the RNC has the source documents proving the claim. Since Berg doesn’t have them he really doesn’t have any hard evidence.
BUT if the ‘claims’ are true and the RNC does have the hard evidence could be a different ballgame later.
Too much drama for me. I like things a lot cleaner. See the enemy, aim and shoot. Feel the recoil and clean the gun. hahaahahhaa Sorry could not resist only kidding , but all this drama is just too much. LOL
I haven't posted on this because it all seems like a soap opera and not real. His mom was a citizen so wouldn't that make him a citizen too. (?)
Also Obama is a guy who wants GIs to read foreign terrorists captured abroad their Miranda Rights. He doesn't want to monitor terrorist communications. He wants to end enhanced scrutiny of visa applicants from Muslim countries. He is a ZERO in the War on Terror. That to me ranks higher on the food chart. Besides I would rather run against Obama then Hillary. I want us to win and I think we can now going up against Obama. Also Hillary has too many dead associations in her life. Yikes ( eyes rolling here) haha

Palin's hometown crowd: "She thumped 'em"
Palin's hometown crowd: "She thumped 'em"
Scott Myers led the cheering section Wednesday as Sarah Palin, the hometown girl, accepted the Republican vice presidential nomination at the GOP convention.
Myers, holding two small American flags, shouted, "Go, Sarah! Yes, Sarah! Go Sarah! Yes, Sarah!" as more than 100 people crowded the Tailgaters sports bar and grill to watch the late afternoon speech.
Myers, 70, said Palin is family, and she takes care of the people of Wasilla like her own.
He said she's hardworking, just like his mother, she's juggling two jobs, and she can take whatever is dished out.
"She's a true blue, dyed-in-the-wool honest person and everyone is scared to death of her," said the resident of nearby Palmer who described himself as a conservative Republican. "Now I've got someone to root for again."
Myers wasn't alone in his unabashed enthusiasm for Palin during her speech.
Minor Smith, 57, a North Slope worker from Wasilla, who was baptized in the same church as Palin and knows her husband, Todd, said he wasn't worried that Sarah Palin would crumble under the pressure. In fact, he said, it's just the type of fight she likes.
"She is perfectly able to defend herself. She's a little tiger," he said of the woman he got to know at church picnics. "She loves this stuff. This is what she lives for."
Palin was born in Idaho, but moved to Wasilla as an infant with her parents, Chuck and Sally Heath.
The giddy crowd flashed their McCain-Palin shirts - what they call "Sarah wear" - and swapped stories about the Palin and Heath families they all had heard a thousand times before.
When Palin took the stage, they leapt to their feet like the hometown team was taking the field for the Super Bowl.
Carol Bearman, 42, said she was visting from the Prince William Sound community of Valdez to go moose hunting. Bearman said Palin was tough, like every Alaska woman.
Bearman noted that many pundits predict that Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden will have no trouble dismantling the green Palin during debates.
"They all say Biden is going to eat her up and spit her out. I think the opposite is going to happen," Bearman said after Palin's speech.
The crowd cheered at just about every sentence during Palin's speech, and frequently jumped to their feet, singing a chorus of "Go girl! and "Yes, Sarah!"
Some of the biggest responses came when Palin introduced her family and when the camera stayed on her parents.
She also drew wild applause when making jabs at presidential candidate Barack Obama and other Democrats and when she defended the people that come from small-town America.
"They love their country in good times and bad," Palin said, prompting Myers to jump to his feet, clapping and yelling, "Yay!" while others cheered wildly.
She also got a loud laugh when making the joke about the only difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull - lipstick.
Smith - who showed up at the bar to watch a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game - said he wasn't surprised that Palin was the picture of confidence during her first national speech.
"She believes this stuff. It's Sarah being Sarah," he said.
Mike Swanson, 53, and J.P., his 51-year-old wife, both donned "Go Sarah" T-shirts to show their support. J.P. said she remembers teaching 18-year-old Sarah Palin how to do telephone repair work and said she was impressive even then.
However, she said she can't help worrying about her just a little bit, like a mother, she said.
"She'll be all right. We're damn proud of her," she said.
Her husband added it won't be long before the rest of the country gets to know the real Sarah Palin, too.
"I'm sure the rest of the country will be proud of her, too, real quick," he said.
At the end of Palin's speech, the bar crowd jumped to their feet and gave her standing ovation.
"She thumped 'em," Myers said.
Wild Thing's comment...........
What a great write up, so many good things they say about Sarah Palin. I love it. It is wonderful when a good person gets a high five.
It is just so great to be able to post about all these people that love America too , and appreciate Palin and what she has meant and will continue to mean to our country.
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Sen. McCain's 2008 Nomination Acceptance Address
Just a few parts of his speech......
"My fellow Americans, when I’m President, we’re going to embark on the most ambitious national project in decades. We are going to stop sending $700 billion a year to countries that don’t like us very much. We will attack the problem on every front. We will produce more energy at home. We will drill new wells offshore, and we’ll drill them now. We will build more nuclear power plants. We will develop clean coal technology. We will increase the use of wind, tide, solar and natural gas."
"I’ve been an imperfect servant of my country for many years. But I have been her servant first, last and always. And I’ve never lived a day, in good times or bad, that I didn’t thank God for the privilege.Long ago, something unusual happened to me that taught me the most valuable lesson of my life. I was blessed by misfortune. I mean that sincerely. I was blessed because I served in the company of heroes, and I witnessed a thousand acts of courage, compassion and love."
"A lot of prisoners had it worse than I did. I’d been mistreated before, but not as badly as others. I always liked to strut a little after I’d been roughed up to show the other guys I was tough enough to take it. But after I turned down their offer, they worked me over harder than they ever had before. For a long time. And they broke me.When they brought me back to my cell, I was hurt and ashamed, and I didn’t know how I could face my fellow prisoners. The good man in the cell next door, my friend, Bob Craner, saved me. Through taps on a wall he told me I had fought as hard as I could. No man can always stand alone. And then he told me to get back up and fight again for our country and for the men I had the honor to serve with. Because every day they fought for me."
THIS ONE IS AWESOME!
"I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else’s. I loved it not just for the many comforts of life here. I loved it for its decency; for its faith in the wisdom, justice and goodness of its people. I loved it because it was not just a place, but an idea, a cause worth fighting for. I was never the same again. I wasn’t my own man anymore. I was my country’s."
"I’m not running for president because I think I’m blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save our country in its hour of need. My country saved me. My country saved me, and I cannot forget it. And I will fight for her for as long as I draw breath, so help me God."
.
Wild Thing's comment.........
The whole speech was very sincere, thoughtful and well-spoken. Not fire and brimstone. It was a humble speech and combined with Sarah Palin’s line in her speech about having a “servant’s heart” shows that this ticket knows who they are without guile or pretension.
He told of his stay in the Hanoi Hilton, and how that experience shaped him. I liked when he told from his heart about how America saved him and how he went from a self, and the all about me looking for excitement kind of guy to a man that wanted to serve the country that saved him........ that touched me and when the camera panned again to the Vets once again I looked into their eyes. As I watched the faces of the Veterans they are most important to me, more then anything, and it was very moving. Tears in their eyes and upon their cheeks, eyes that held untold stories and some shared, but memories and the never to be forgotten depth in them. McCain is a MAN and a hero, he is a man of deep conviction. And a man of passion and will fight back. He will fight back if we are attacked again, being a wimp like Kerry and Obama is foreign to him.
McCain as we know is against waterboarding, but after hearing him speak I understand better why. One time months ago Jack said on here that his being against waterboarding might be due to his being a POW and what he went through. I think he is right and soooooooo I am offering to be in charge of the torture of Islamists and waterboarding. Then McCain won't have to think about it and we can still get information we need. There that is settled then, if he would only take me up on it.
Obama bragged on how he gave up a job on Wall Street, McCain in sharing with us when he was a POW ....and with his voice getting a bit choked up he said, “And they broke me.”
McCain told us who he is and how he thinks about his country...our country and I believe him. He spoke from his heart and his heart loves America.
Some of his politics I don't appreciate, I disagree with and I have posted about it, I can never forgive him regarding the POW MIA Senate Hearings with Kerry and his comment about the Swifties . His stand on amnesty is very upsetting, but I have to be honest, I have posted more then most blogs I have seen about the illegals and how upset about illegals I am and the amnesty. I worked hard both times to get them not to pass the Bush, Kennedy, McCain, amnesty bill under Bush. My thought on this is that before Bush won his first term, when I worked very hard to get him elected, in rallies,etc. ( sidenote: we were not living in Florida back then during his first run for Pres.) I knew very well that Bush favored illegals and amnesty. That was a huge issue with me. It still is today but the reality is that I voted for Bush both times and campaigned for him both times knowing how he felt about illegals.
My point is.... here I am once again hoping a man wins that is for illegals and will surely push his amnesty if elected. I don't know the answer and I am not asking a question. hahaha I just need to say it out loud because I realize we may never have someone to vote for that is against amnesty like we are here at this blog and many other blogs.
One thing for sure after this speech he gave I will not question his love for his country. His thinking on some things, yes, and his past actions yes, but in comparison it's an implicit contrast with Obama, who puts himself first. Who is a totally dangerous man for America not only about illegals but in every way. McCain has proven he has walked the talk on many other things then those things I disagree with.
And who knows with Palin as his VP she may influence him to be more conservative. One can hope anyway and I do so love looking at the glass half full, how can we not! We live in America and we are so blessed to be Americans.
The last five minutes was fantastic. The ending, where he continued to talk while the delegates were cheering ever louder, was inspiring. AWESOME!!!!!
God bless the McCain family and God Bless the Palin family. Both families have sons serving our country.

Sarah Palin Speech Highlights

This is GREAT, they have taken some of the best things she said and put them all on one video. I am so glad they did this.

Sarah "Barracuda" Palin , you have rocked our world
One of the many highlights:
"But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed, when the roar of the crowd fades away, when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot…when that happens, what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer, the answer is to make government bigger, and take more of your money, and give you more orders from Washington, and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world."
On her experience as a public servant:
"I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids’ public education better. When I ran for city council, I didn’t need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too. Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities."
On why she is going to Washington, D.C.:
"I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone. But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country."
On energy policies that the McCain-Palin administration will implement:
"Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America’s energy problems - as if we all didn’t know that already. But the fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all. Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we’re going to lay more pipelines...build more nuclear plants...create jobs with clean coal...and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources. We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers."
On John McCain:
"Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change."
Piper, she is so adorable and loaded with personality.

Wild Thing's comment.........
Sarah is a seriously silky smooth stiletto assasin. Obama is bleeding and he doesn’t even know it yet. Warm. Charming. Composed. Witty. Bright. Personable. Real. All of those things, while at the same time landing body blows all over BHO. With a smile on her face she took Obama/Biden to the woodshed again, and again, and again.
Fred Thompson the night before was awesome, and then the others tlast night, Mitt Romney did a great job too and even Huckabee a none favorite of mine had a few swipes at Obama.
I haven't seen anything like this since Reagan.
God once again has smiled down on America and blessed us with Sarah Palin. God is showing us He does does not want a Marxist elected either.
McCain is like a stealthy ninja, he has struck the Obama campaign a deadly blow with his choice of Sarah. The fawning Obama worshiping media looks completely flummoxed and frustrated that she brushed aside their character assassination attempts, and preceded to drop atomic elbows off the top rope on Obama during her speech.
Howard Wolfson commenting on Fox afterwards looked stunned, he had nothing but praise. He said she stuck a knife in Obama and twisted it with a smile on her face. The only thing he could say was he didn’t agree with her policies but that she was going to be real trouble for the dems.
Krauthammer said she didn’t just throw red meat out, she slaughtered a small cow at the podium.
Mort Kondracke: "brilliant"
Bill Kristol: "terrific"
Fred Barnes: "Look out Joe Biden!"
Chris Wallace: "A star was born tonight"
Laura Ingrham said on Fox that she thought it was one the best political speeches she has ever heard.
Obama has just been out phenomed. If she debates half this well, Biden is toast. Wolfson also noted Biden had better bring his A game or he’s lunch.
This was an historic night. I am mega excited about McCain/Palin and can’t wait to see them win the election!!

Wild Thing's comment........
LOL I am enjoying this. We have waited for this for such a long time if you count the 8 years of the left attacking Bush and calling him a nazi and all the other attacks from the left.

Obama the Friend of Ayers and Rezko, to Appear on Egomaniac O'Reilly Factor Tonight
Barack Obama will appear on Fox News with conservative Bill O'Reilly on Thursday, the same night John McCain gives his acceptance speech at the Republican convention here. What a coincidence!
The first-time appearance by the Illinois senator on O'Reilly's show will likely be a ratings draw, although it will not go head-to-head with McCain's speech.
Obama's interview will air at 8:00 p.m. EDT, while McCain's speech will air after 9:00 p.m.
O'Reilly will sit down with Obama Thursday in York, Pa., where he plans to question Obama on his "political career, domestic issues and foreign policy in Iran and Iraq," according to a statement by the network, which is owned by News Corp.,
Wild Thing's comment.......
Light weight O'Reilly has no class nor shame. He brags about being an independent, fine. I could care less. But this interview he has literally been BEGGING for from Obama does not have to be the same night as the closing night of the Republican Convention. And O'Reilly the creep knows it.
More and more lately O'Reilly has been defending Obama, it really is sickening. I am sure it was his way of kissing up to Obama to try and get the interview. But good grief O'Reilly is so obvious about it. LOL
O'Reilly wants the left to like him. ah poor baby....NOT!
Rush ( my favorite) says he prefers when the left doesn't like him, he always says it means he is doing his job. And there are an awful lot of people that don't like Rush and most of them are on the left.
Palin squashed the cockroach and O'Reilly is throwing him a lifeline.
O'Reilly wants to be loved as a star, not respected as a journalist. He has lost a ton of respect from many conservatives with his kissing up to the left like he does in his interviews. The one he did with Michael Moore was totally disgusting.
Give him a mirror and he could preen and talk about looking out for himself....oops the people.... yeah the people.
O'Reilly's interview is about O'Reilly. It is not to get the facts he says he wants for the American people--although this is what he tells himself and believes. However I know he will throw him many softballs and if he doesn't and asks some hard questions he will let him off on his answers. Why? Because O'Reilly is more focused on his resume than realizing he is stepping all over the RNC's final day.
O'Reilly has a badly inflated sense of his interviewing skills. He misses obvious follow-up questions and lets interviewees get away with vague non-answers. Not as bad as Larry King yet, but there's time.
Rush Limbaugh is KING no one comes close, but there are many others that are really good too such as Laura, Mark Levin, and Glenn Beck. All these I named are ten times better then O'Reilly.
Sure I will tape it to watch later after the convention is over tonight, just to see if Obama says something about Palin's speech...... oh wait....that would be.......Uh....Palin....I mean uh....er uh.....uh....uh.....uh.....Sarah uh....uh.....ah.....ah.....uh....... her speech.

Why Obama Can't Close the Sale ~ He Wants To TAX you to Death!
Why Obama Can't Close the Sale
By AL HUBBARD and NOAM NEUSNER
Even before John McCain shook up the presidential race by tapping Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate, polls weren't showing the late-August lead that Barack Obama (and many Republicans) expected. Why so?
It's not because of the brilliance of the McCain campaign. Rather we believe that -- despite the media's best efforts to exempt Mr. Obama's policies from critical examination -- American voters aren't sheep. They pay attention to the candidates and positions and make wise decisions about who should lead the country.
True, Mr. Obama enjoys several advantages. Republicans are struggling nationwide in head-to-head contests. Democrats lead in voter registration, and have a well-funded presidential candidate.
Yet Americans have not committed to Mr. Obama. Why?
Clearly, Mr. Obama's weakness on foreign policy is a factor. He has a knee-jerk preference for diplomacy with China, Europe and Russia over the security of the American people and our closest allies. He hasn't explained his shifting positions on Iraq and Iran, among other hot spots. And he felt compelled to make up for his experience gap with Mr. McCain by picking Sen. Joe Biden to be his running mate.
But here's the thing: It's not that Mr. Obama hasn't been specific enough in his governing plans. To the contrary, he has been very specific about his tax policy, health-care and energy proposals. It's that voters are paying attention and appear not to like what Candidate Obama is saying.
Mr. Obama has proposed a massive tax increase on investors, business owners, and the "wealthy." At a time when the American people rate the economy as the central issue of the campaign, a tax hike doesn't make a lot of political sense. Voters know that a tax hike won't help the economy.
Moreover, Mr. Obama's tax plans would directly or indirectly harm U.S. investors by raising the capital gains and dividend taxes. More than half of U.S. households are equity owners, so Mr. Obama's proposal risks alienating half the population.
Mr. Obama claims to offer a tax cut to moderate-income families, but a significant portion of Mr. Obama's tax plan is a welfare giveaway costing more than $648 billion over 10 years, according to the Tax Policy Center.
How so? He would authorize a hodgepodge of refundable tax credits covering everything from education, mortgage payments, child care and other items for people who do not pay income taxes now.
About 38% of U.S. households pay no income tax today. Under a President Obama (whose policies would shave 15.3 million households off the tax rolls) that share would grow to nearly half of all American households.
We have been repeatedly told that everyone should pay their fair share. So this sounds grossly unfair and like a return of tax-and-spend liberal economics. No wonder there is a lot of doubt about the wisdom of the junior senator from Illinois.
Mr. Obama's health-care proposal is not quite HillaryCare, but it comes close. A national health insurance, heavily subsidized by taxpayers, would be offered to the currently uninsured. Mr. Obama's instincts on health care are always to move more people onto rolls of government-paid and government-mandated insurance, while depriving the marketplace the oxygen it needs for greater innovation, life-saving cures, and efficiency.
Americans have heard the refrain for government-provided health care before and know an expensive government giveaway when they see it.
Mr. Obama's energy policy is to drill less, consume less, tax more, and spend more. With barely a nod to nuclear energy -- the only meaningfully large, carbon-free source of domestic energy -- he is promising a massive increase in domestic, noncarbon-based energy from sources that produce only a fraction of our energy now.
He has also proposed massive tax increases on U.S. oil and gas companies while continuing to cut off vast swaths of U.S. territory to drilling.
Again, Americans are wiser than they are given credit. They know that if you restrict supply and tax production, prices go up.
The economic wisdom of Americans should not be doubted. They can see through Mr. Obama's proposals. They know that they will have to pick up the bill if Mr. Obama sends checks to people who already don't pay taxes; they know a centralized government-controlled health-care system will be more expensive, less efficient, and less friendly to patients and doctors. They know that the most effective way to bring down energy prices is by keeping all our energy options open, including more drilling in the U.S.
And they know that if a candidate has spent his entire career taxing more and spending more, that's what you'll get -- and more of it.
Mr. Obama is wondering why he can't shake Mr. McCain. His problem isn't his plans for the campaign. It's his plans for governing the country. Americans just aren't buying into them.
Wild Thing's comment.........
B. Hussein Obama = SOCIALISM
Whenever someone asks an Obama representative to explain ANY of Obama’s policies, they ALWAYS tell the questioner to go to the Obama website for the information. Obama nor his handlers can speak for themselves or explain any policy. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
Taxes on companies are also back door taxes on individuals. McCain should make this very point and challenge Obama to be a man about it and be upfront with the American people!
This will also effect charities too.
The Dems have nominated an amateur, and a not very talented amateur, at that.

Republican Convention 2008 Tuesday Night
Representative Michele Bachmann, has 23 Foster Children. She was one of the speakers.
Missouri delegate puts her hand over her heart on day two of the Republican National Convention (RNC) at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota
They played this music too with photos of our troops. I LOVE "Thunder" it is so perfect for showing our military. The audience LOVED it and every time it came to the part it says THUNDER, the audience would yell it out. OH yesssssssssss !
Boehner has a wonderful speaking vocie.
They had several prayers and even Bible verses were mentioned,. WOW What a difference in the two conventions. It is like one , the Democrats was held in Hell and this one, ours is held in our fantastic America.
After watching the Democrat convention last week, it felt like I was coming home to be able to see the Republican Convention last night ( Tuesday). Like a breath of fresh air.
Not living in la la land yes there were a couple of things I would have changed or left out like the Raza guy that is McCain's friend had to speak. AUGH.
BUT all in all it was a wonderful , feel good evening with a lot of people that truly show they love America and our troops and our Veterans. The audience was packed with Veterans. Once during the night they were told would everyone that has served our country in the military please stand. YEOW! I loved that part, it had to be 75 to 80 percent of the audience.
Jon Voight was in the audience and Gary Sinese narrated the video of Medal of Honor winner NAVY MA2 MICHAEL A. MONSOOR . Video showing the SEAL’s put their tridents on the coffin. Wow! Also showing President Bush crying .
Sister of Michael Monsoor sitting with Cindy McCain. As the crowd was giving them a standing ovation you could just sense that the sister was saying to herself, "I'm gonna be strong, I'm not going to cry".
Then they had the Congressional Medal of Honor recipients stand that were in the audience and more applause. Whew lots of kleenex needed by me.
Thank you God for making America the greatest country in the world

Newt Gingrich Nails It About Palin To MSNBC Jerk
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich stands up for Sarah Palin.
This happened last evening on the convention floor in St. Paul when MSNBC's Ron Allen said to the former Speaker, "But to be fair, her resume is not something we're familiar seeing with presidential candidates."
This didn't sit well with Gingrich who strongly replied :
It's stronger than Barack Obama's. I don't know why you guys walk around saying this baloney. She has a stronger resume than Obama. She's been a real mayor, he hasn't. She has been a real governor, he hasn't. She's been in charge of the Alaskan National Guard, he hasn't. She was a whistleblower who defeated an incumbent mayor. He has never once shown that kind of courage. She's a whistleblower who turned in the chairman of her own party and got him fined $12,000. I've never seen Obama do one thing like that. She took on the incumbent governor of her own party and beat him, and then she beat a former Democratic governor in the general election. I don't know of a single thing Obama's done except talk and write.
Newt then challenged Allen:
I'd like you to tell me one thing Sen. Obama's done.
With that, Allen retreated, and said:
Thanks very much, Mr. Speaker. I'm going to leave it there. I'm not going to argue the case. Thanks very much.
Wild Thing's comment...........
LOL Gingrich took them to pieces, he was awesome! Obama is worthless!!
The best part of the video is watching the “reporter’s” grimace as Newt starts tearing him apart limb by limb. Absolutely smashing!

Nothing Less Then Awesome Speech by Fred Thompson at Convention 2008
Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson's speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention.
.
RAW DATA: Fred Thompson’s Speech at GOP Convention
FRED THOMPSON: Thank you.
Well, my friends, as — thank you very much. As has been mentioned, our thoughts are still with our friends and fellow citizens in the Gulf Coast. And our special thanks go to those who have worked so hard to keep them safe. There can be no more important work than that. But…
(APPLAUSE)
But what we’re doing at this convention is also important to our country, because we’re going to nominate the next president and vice president of the United States of America.
(APPLAUSE)
We do so while taking a different view of our country than that of the other party. Listening to them, you’d think that we were in the middle of a great depression, that we’re down, disrespected, incapable of prevailing against challenges that face us.
Now, we know that we have challenges, always have, always will.
But we also know that we live in the freest, strongest, most generous and prosperous nation in the history of the world, and we’re thankful for that.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, speaking of the vice-presidential nominee, what a breath of fresh air Governor Sarah Palin is.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, she’s from a small town with small-town values, but apparently that’s not good enough for some of the folks who are out there now attacking her and her family. Some Washington pundits and media big-shots are in a frenzy over the selection of a woman who has actually governed rather than just talked a good game on the Sunday talk shows and hit the Washington cocktail circuit.
(APPLAUSE)
I say — I say give me a tough Alaskan governor who has taken on the political establishment in the largest state of the union and won over the Beltway business-as-usual crowd any day of the week.
(APPLAUSE)
But it’s pretty clear the selection of Governor Palin has got the other side and their friends in the media in a state of panic. And no wonder: She’s a courageous, successful, reformer who’s not afraid to take on the establishment.
(APPLAUSE)
Sound like anybody else we know?
(APPLAUSE)
She has run a municipality, and she’s run a state. And I think I can say without fear of contradiction she’s the only nominee in the history of either party who knows how to properly field dress a moose…
(APPLAUSE)
… with the possible exception of Teddy Roosevelt. OK.
When she and John McCain get to Washington, they’re not going to care how much the alligators get irritated. They’re going to drain that swamp.
(APPLAUSE)
But tonight, my friends, I’d like to talk to you about the remarkable story of John McCain. It’s a story about character.
John McCain’s character has been tested like no other presidential candidate in the history of this nation. He comes from a military family whose service goes — to our country goes back to the time of the Revolutionary War. The tradition continues.
As I speak, John and Cindy McCain have one son who’s just finished his first tour in Iraq and another son…
(APPLAUSE)
… going back for his second one on Christmas Day, I understand. And another…
(APPLAUSE)
And another son who’s putting his country first in attending the Naval Academy.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, we have a number of the McCains in the audience tonight. And I just want you to know, I understand they’ve been introduced, but I understand — I want you to understand how proud we are of you and how much we thank you for what you’re doing for your country.
(APPLAUSE)
Cindy is here with all the children. All the children are here, I believe.
(APPLAUSE)
John is also — also here tonight is John’s 96-year-old mother Roberta.
(APPLAUSE)
THOMPSON: All I got to say is if — is if Ms. Roberta had been the McCain captured by the North Vietnamese, they would have surrendered.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, John’s father was a bit of a rebel, too. In his first two semesters at the Naval Academy, he managed to earn 333 demerits. Unfortunately, John later saw that as a record to be beaten.
(LAUGHTER)
A rebellious mother and a rebellious father, I guess you can see where this is going. In high school and the Naval Academy, John earned the reputation as a troublemaker. But as John points out, he wasn’t just a troublemaker; he was the leader of the troublemakers.
(APPLAUSE)
Although — although loaded with demerits like his father, John was principled even in rebellion. He never violated the honor code.
However, in flight school in Pensacola, he did drive a Corvette and date a girl who worked in a bar as an exotic dancer under the name of Marie, the Flame of Florida.
Now, the reason I’m telling you these things — the reason I’m telling you these things are that apparently this mixture of rebellion and honor helped John McCain survive the next chapter in his life.
John McCain was preparing to take off from the USS Forrestal for his sixth mission over Vietnam when a missile from another plane accidentally fired and hit his plane. The flight deck burst into a fireball of jet fuel, and John’s flight suit caught fire. He was hit by shrapnel.
It was a scene of horrible human devastation. Men sacrificed their lives to save others that day. One kid, who John couldn’t identify because he was burned beyond recognition, called out to John to ask if a certain pilot was OK. John replied, “Yes, he was.” The young sailor said, “Thank God,” and then he died.
These are the kind of men John McCain served with. These are the men and women John McCain knows and understands and loves. If you want to know who John McCain is, if you want to know what John McCain values, look at the men and women who wear America’s uniform today.
(APPLAUSE)
The fire on the Forrestal burned for two days. Twenty planes were destroyed; 134 sailors died. John himself barely dodged death in the inferno and could have returned to the states with the ship.
Instead, he volunteered for combat on another carrier that was undermanned from having lost so many pilots, stepping up, putting his country first.
Three months later, John McCain was a prisoner of war. On October 26, 1967, on his 23rd mission over North Vietnam, a surface- to-air missile slammed into John’s A-4 Skyhawk jet, blowing it out of the sky.
When John ejected, part of the plane hit him, breaking his right leg, his right knee, his left arm, and right arm in three places. An angry mob got to him when he fell to the ground. A rifle butt broke his shoulder. A bayonet pierced his ankle and his groin.
They took him to the Hanoi Hilton, where he lapsed in and out of consciousness for days. He was offered medical care for his injuries if he would give up military information in return. John McCain said no.
After days of neglect, covered in grime, laying in his own waste in a filthy room, a doctor attempted to set John’s right arm without success and without anesthesia. His other broken bones and injuries were not treated.
John developed a high fever and dysentery. He weighed barely 100 pounds. Expecting him to die, his captors placed him in a cell with two other POWs who also expected him to die. But with their help, John McCain fought on. He persevered.
So then they put him in solitary confinement for over two years, isolation, incredible heat, beating on a tin roof, a light bulb in his cell burning 24 hours a day, boarded up cell windows blocking any breath of fresh air.
The oppressive heat causing boils the size of baseballs under his arms. The outside world limited to what you could see through a crack in the door.
We hear a lot of talk about hope these days. John McCain knows about hope; that’s all he had. For propaganda purposes, his captors offered to let him go home. John McCain refused.
He refused to leave ahead of men who’d been there longer. He refused to abandon his conscience and his honor, even for his freedom. He refused, even though his captors warned him, “It will be very bad for you.” They were right; it was.
The guards cracked ribs, broke teeth off at the gums. They cinched a rope around his arms and painfully drew back his shoulders. Over four days, every two to three hours, the beatings resumed. During one especially fierce beating, he fell, again breaking his arm.
John was beaten for communicating with other prisoners. He was beating — beaten for not communicating with so-called peace delegations. He was beaten for not giving information during interrogations.
When his captors wanted to know the names of the other pilots in the squadron, John gave them the name of the offensive line of the Green Bay Packers.
(LAUGHTER)
Whenever John was returned to his cell — walking if he could, dragged if he couldn’t — as he passed his other fellow POWs, he would often call out to them. He’d smile, give them a thumbs-up.
For five-and-a-half years, this went on. John McCain’s bones may have been broken, but his spirit never was.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, being a POW doesn’t qualify anyone to be president, but it does reveal character. My friends…
(APPLAUSE)
… this is the kind of character that civilizations from the beginning of our history have sought in their leaders.
(APPLAUSE)
Strength, courage, humility, wisdom, duty, honor. It’s pretty clear there are two questions that we’ll never have to ask ourselves: Who is this man? And can we trust this man with the presidency?
(APPLAUSE)
He’s been to — he’s been to Iraq eight times since 2003. He went seeking truth, not publicity. When he travels abroad, he prefers quietly speaking…
(APPLAUSE)
… he prefers quietly speaking to the troops amidst the heat and hardships of their daily lives.
And the same character that marked John McCain’s military career has also marked his political career. This man, John McCain, is not intimidated by what the polls say or by what is politically safe or popular.
At a point in time when the war in Iraq was going badly and the public lost confidence, John stood up and called for more troops. And now we’re winning.
(APPLAUSE)
AUDIENCE: USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
THOMPSON: Ronald Reagan — Ronald Reagan was John McCain’s hero. And President Reagan admired John tremendously.
But when the president proposed putting U.S. troops in Beirut, John McCain, a freshman congressman, stood up and cast a vote against his hero because he thought the deployment was a mistake. My friends, that is character you can believe in.
(APPLAUSE)
For years, members of Congress, Republican and Democrat alike, have gouged the taxpayer with secret earmark spending. Well, he has never sought an earmark.
I’ve experienced John’s character…
(APPLAUSE)
I’ve experienced John’s character firsthand. In 1993, when I was thinking of running for the Senate, I went to John for advice. He convinced me I could help make a difference for our country. I managed to win that election. And with Republican control of Congress, we reformed welfare, we balanced the budget, and we began rebuilding our military. And what I remember…
(APPLAUSE)
And what I remember most about those days is sitting next to John on the Senate floor as he led battle after battle to change the acrimonious, pork-barreling, self-serving ways of Washington.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, the United States Senate has always had more than its share of smooth-talkers and big-talkers. And, obviously, it still has.
But while others were talking reform, John McCain led efforts to make reform happen, always pressing, always moving for what he believed was right and necessary to restore the people’s faith in their government. Confronting when necessary, reaching across the aisle when possible, John personified why we all came to Washington in the first place.
It didn’t always set too well with some of his colleagues. Some of those fights were losing efforts; some were not. But a man who never quits is never defeated.
(APPLAUSE)
Because John McCain stood up, his country is better off. The respect he’s given around the world is not because of a TelePrompTer speech designed to appeal to America’s critics abroad…
(APPLAUSE)
No, it’s not that. It’s not because of that, but because of decades of clearly demonstrated character and statesmanship.
There has never been a time in our nation’s history, since we first pledged allegiance to the American flag, when the character, judgment, and leadership of our president was more important.
(APPLAUSE)
Terrorists, rogue nations developing nuclear weapons, an increasingly belligerent Russia, intensifying competition from China, spending at home that threatens to bankrupt future generations, for decades, an expanding government, increasingly wasteful and too often incompetent, to deal with these challenges, the Democrats present a history-making nominee for president, history-making in that he’s the most liberal, most inexperienced nominee to ever run for president.
(APPLAUSE)
THOMPSON: Apparently, apparently, they believe that he would match up well with the history-making Democrat-controlled Congress, history-making because it’s the least accomplished and most unpopular Congress in our nation’s history.
(APPLAUSE)
Together, they would take on these urgent challenges with protectionism, higher taxes, and an even bigger bureaucracy, and a Supreme Court that would be lost to liberalism for a generation.
This is not reform, and it’s certainly not change. It’s basically the same, old stuff they’ve been peddling for years.
(APPLAUSE)
America — America needs a president who understands the nature of the world we live in, a president who feels no need to apologize for the United States of America.
(APPLAUSE)
We need a president — we need a president who understands that you don’t make citizens prosperous by making Washington richer, and you don’t…
(APPLAUSE)
… and you don’t lift an economic downturn by imposing one of the largest tax increases in American history.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, our opponents tell us not to worry about their tax increases. They tell you they’re not going to tax your family. No, they’re just going to tax businesses. So unless you buy something from a business, like groceries or clothes or gasoline, or unless you get a paycheck from a business, a big business or a small business, don’t worry, it’s not going to affect you.
(APPLAUSE)
They say they’re not going to take any water out of your side of the bucket, just the other side of the bucket.
(LAUGHTER)
That’s their idea of tax reform. My friends, we need a leader who stands on principle. We need a president and vice president who will take the federal bureaucracy by the scruff of the neck and give it a good shaking.
(APPLAUSE)
And, my friends, we need a president who doesn’t think that the protection of the unborn or a newly born baby is above his pay grade.
(APPLAUSE)
The man who will be that president is John McCain.
(APPLAUSE)
In the days ahead — in the days ahead at this convention, you’ll hear a lot more about what John will do as president, what he’ll do with regard to the economy, on energy, on health care and the environment. It’s not my role tonight to explain that vision. It’s my role to hopefully help remind you of the man behind the vision.
Because tonight our country is calling to all of us to step up, and to stand up, and put country first with John McCain.
(APPLAUSE)
Tonight we’re being called upon to do what is right for our country, what is right for our country. Tonight we’re being called upon to stand up for a strong military, a mature foreign policy, a free and growing economy, and for the values that bind us together and keep our nation free.
Tonight we’re being called upon to step up and stand up with John, just as he has stood up for our country.
(APPLAUSE)
Our country is calling. Our country is calling.
And John McCain can’t raise his arms above his shoulders. He can’t salute the flag of the country for which he’s sacrificed so much.
Tonight, as we begin this convention, we stand with him, and we salute him. We salute his character and his courage, his spirit of independence and his drive for reform, his vision to bring security and peace in our time, and continued prosperity for America and all of our citizens.
For our own good, our children’s, let us celebrate that vision, celebrate that belief, that faith, so we can keep America the greatest country that the world has ever seen.
God bless John McCain, and God bless America.

Gov. Sarah Palin On The Issues and Guns
Rush Limbaugh says of Palin choice:
“It’s an inspired choice… this is absolutely fabulous.” “We’re the ones with the babe on the ticket.” “And this is a real Republican woman. This woman hunts moose.” “She is a total maverick. babies, guns, Jesus. Hot damn!"
Sarahh Palin on Gun Control
Hunts and fishes, as did her father. (Aug 2008)
Hunts as much as she can; freezer-full of wild game. (Aug 2008)
Supports ending D.C.'s 32-year-old ban on handguns. (Jun 2008)
Lifelong NRA member & champion of right to bear arms. (Feb 2008)
Supports Constitutional right to bear arms. (Nov 2006)
Her father shot the grizzly bear whose hide is now draped over the sofa in her office.
Supports ending D.C.'s 32-year-old ban on handguns
Governor Sarah Palin today lauded the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision upholding the right of Americans to own guns for self-defense, hunting and other purposes. The high court's 5-4 ruling in District of Columbia vs. Heller affirmed gun rights by striking down the District's 32-year-old ban on handguns.
"This decision is a victory for all Alaskans and individual Americans. The right to own guns and use them responsibly is something I and many other Alaskans cherish," Governor Palin said. "I applaud the Court for standing up for the Constitution and the right of Americans to keep and bear arms."
The state of Alaska in February joined a multi-state amicus brief written by the state of Texas in support of the Second Amendment right of individual Americans to bear arms.

Lifelong NRA member & champion of right to bear arms
Governor Sarah Palin announced the State of Alaska will join the multi-state amicus brief authored by the State of Texas in support of the Second Amendment right of individual Americans to bear arms. The Texas amicus brief in the case Washington, D.C. v. Heller will be filed by February 11, 2008.
Governor Palin, a lifelong member of the National Rifle Association, has long been a champion of the constitutional right to bear arms, as well as a proponent of gun safety programs for Alaska's youth.
"I am proud to join the State of Texas in support of the Second Amendment," Governor Palin said. "We need to send a strong message that law-abiding citizens have a right to own firearms, for personal protection, for hunting and for any other lawful purpose."

Biden and Obama the Duo Gaffe Machine~ LOL
Biden: Now is the Moment for me 'as a US Senator Running for President' to Put Aside Politics
At a Scranton, Penn., Italian festival this afternoon, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del. standing on the side of a black Suburban, took the microphone to address the downtown crowd and explain why Hurricane Gustav precluded his campaigning today.
"I will be back, I'll be back to campaign in earnest," Biden said, "but today is not the moment for me to campaign. Today is the moment for me as a United States senator running for president to put aside the national politics and focus on what's happening down there" in the Gulf Coast.
Biden has still spent more time this election cycle campaigning for president than he has running for vice president.

American Girl Proud of Her Country ~ Cindy McCain
Cindy Hensley McCain has been disparaged as a trophy wife, a Barbie, an heiress with fancy purses, even the Paris Hilton of politics. But there's more to the picture than meets the eye.
After her Dad died she became involved with his beer distributing firm and Is now the chairwoman. Sales have doubled since she has taken over from her father.
Yes, Mrs. McCain is the perfectly coifed blonde standing dutifully behind the senator during his speeches. And yes, she wears stylish clothing and carries a Prada purse. And it's true she doesn't say much. But feminist critics who write her off as a "stand-by-your-man" shrinking violet are selling her short. In many ways, Cindy McCain stacks up sturdier than Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama. And she'd make a more impressive first lady.
While Obama's wife has been hating America , complaining about the war and undermining our troops serving in Afghanistan , McCain's wife has been worrying about her sons who actually are fighting or planning to fight in the war on terror. One, in fact, was until a few months ago deployed in Iraq during some of the worst violence. You don't hear the McCain's talk about it, but their 19-year-old Marine, Jimmy, is preparing for his second tour of duty. Their 21-year-old son, Jack, is poised to graduate from Annapolis and also could join the Marines as a second lieutenant. The couple made the decision not to draw attention to their sons out of respect for other families with sons and daughters in harm's way.
Cindy also says she doesn't want to risk falling apart on the campaign trail talking about Jimmy who was so young when he enlisted she had to sign consent forms for his medical tests before he could report for duty and potentially upsetting parents of soldiers who are serving or have been killed.
Meghan and her sister Bridget
During a visit to Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh, Cindy noticed a dying baby. The orphanage could not provide the medical care needed to save her life. So she brought the child home to America for the surgery she desperately needed. The baby is now their healthy, 16-year-old daughter, Bridget.
Cindy McCain is active with 'Halo Trust' - to clear land mines, provide water and food in war ravaged and developing countries.
Though all seven McCain children including two Sen. McCain adopted from his first marriage are supportive of their father, they prefer their privacy to the glare of the campaign trail. Another daughter, Meghan, 23,helps him behind the scenes.
Cindy McCain not only cherishes her children, but also her country, which in an election year filled with America-bashing, is a refreshing novelty. She seethed when she heard Michelle Obama's unpatriotic remarks that she only recently grew proud of America . "I am very proud of my country," Mrs. McCain asserted.
She also may be tougher than the other women in the race. While Hillary thinks she's come under sniper fire on mission trips abroad, Cindy has actually seen violence. She witnessed a boy get blown up by a mine inKuwait during a trip with an international group that removes land mines from war-torn countries.
Mrs. McCain also is a hands-on philanthropist. She sits on the board of Operation Smile, which arranges for plastic surgeons to fix cleft palates and other birth defects. She also has helped organize relief missions to Micronesia
Cindy McCain and her daughter Meghan McCain (2nd R) tour on June 19, 2008 a local hospital in central coastal Nha Trang city where US Operation Smile's doctors treat local children suffering from facial deformities. Cindy McCain joined Operation Smile's Board of Directors in April 2005.
During a scuba-diving vacation to the islands, Mrs. McCain took a friend to a local hospital to have a cut treated. She was shocked, and saddened, by what she saw. "They opened the door to the OR, where thesupplies were, and there were two cats and a whole bunch of rats climbi ng out of the sterile supplies," she recalled. "They had no X-ray machine, no beds. To m e, it was devastating because it was a U.S. trust territory." As soon as she returned home, she arranged for medical equipment and teams of doctors to be sent to treat the island children.
Michelle Obama may contribute to CARE, which fights global poverty and works to empower poor women. Cindy sits on its board.
While the Democrat women talk about helping the poor and needy, Cindy McCain actually rolls up her sleeves and does it.

What a difference in Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin compared to the unhappy, not proud of America, chip on her shoulder Michelle Obama.
The difference has nothing to do with their upbringing imo, nor finances, it has to do with what they are made of on the inside. There are a lot of people that have had similar upbringing like Michelle and they don't have a chip on their shoulder. I remember once after the Gulf War hearing a SSgt. speak , he was a black man and he gave one of the most powerful positive speeches I have ever heard. He spoke of his upbringing and it was not pretty, it was ruff and hard and he came from a place that did not encourage service to ones country but made it more important to join local gangs instead. He made a difference in this world and Michelle could too but it has to come from within.
Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin, two women that are making a difference each in their own unique way. Not because they want to be important and elitist, and above anyone else or worshiped. No, they are the way they are because they have to do what they do, it is in their DNA and character and a passion in their souls to follow their hearts in things that interest them to do things they feel strongly about. They take risks, doing new things they have not done before, meeting new challenges, getting involved, and they put themselves out there in full.
And yes they make mistakes, no one is perfect. But they learn from their mistakes and even that as Cindy has said about her pain pill addiction. She wants others to know about it might help them in some way.
They are moms and worry like other military mothers about their sons and daughters. Taking pride in their child serving our country but also having that part of them far away and in danger, the silent prayer for his/ her safety like other moms feel.
I am so proud of both Cindy and Sarah, they truly are American girls that love our country. God bless them both and their families.

Republican Convention
As of writing this post I am not sure the final decision of what the plans are. As you know I posted the schedule last week but things have changed due to Gustav. -- Wild Thing
This is the latest as of 6:20 this morning.
Delegates Supportive of GOP Convention Changes
As delegates descended upon Minneapolis amid reports that the GOP convention would be altered in response to potentially catastrophic Hurricane Gustav, few, if any, voiced opposition to the changes.
Organizers of the Republican National Convention canceled all speeches and program activities for Monday beyond the official procedures that are required under party rules.
“It’s definitely appropriate,” Mississippi delegate Michael Cravens told FOXNews.com. “We know that while the convention is extremely important to our nation, there is nothing more important than the safety of the people affected by the hurricane.”
“When there’s a conflict between governance and politics, you have to choose governance. Neither Bush nor Cheney is on the ballot this year so I think it’s perfectly appropriate for them to be where they need to be, which is with the folks in the affected areas,” said Trey Grayson, a delegate and secretary of state from Kentucky, who agreed with President Bush’s decision to skip out on the convention and instead spend opening night Monday with evacuees and emergency responders in Texas.
"What most people don’t realize is that legally we have to have a convention. We have to nominate John McCain and Sarah Palin otherwise there’s no election in the fall,” Greyson said.

McCain / Palin Rally in Missouri Gets Enthusiastic Reception
KMOV reported on the Missouri rally: McCain spotlighted Palin at the suburban St. Louis rally -- giving her the clean-up speaking spot on a stage erected over the ballfield's home plate.
She got an enthusiastic reception from the crowd that filled the infield bleachers and spread from the dirt base paths into the outfield grass. At various times, they chanted, "Sarah, Sarah."
The ball team's president said the stadium holds about 15,000 for such concert-style events. Republican consultant John Hancock, who served as master of ceremonies for the event, estimated there were about 20,000 people
Wild Thing's comment............
They didn’t even have to throw a free concert to get people there like they do at a lot of Obama's speech's. The size of McCain's crowds have increased now since Palin is on board.

Wild Thing's comment..........
I am looking forward to seeing her in the debates. She is a nautral and will do well . She discusses ANWAR, drilling and other thing's........excellent.
One of the things I love and it is a very noticeable and important characteristic that gov. palin has in common with President Reagan is her incredible optimism and faith
She doesn't dance the questions, she actually fully and clearly said what she believes and would support without rambling on and on with a non answer like Obama is famous for and no UH's and stammering. It is so refreshing.
