.Gov. Brian Schweitzer, talking Friday to a national news website, said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney might shy from talking about his family’s Mexican roots because they came from a “polygamy commune” in Mexico. Schweitzer made the remark in an interview with The Daily Beast, a news and opinion website, after being asked whether Montana might be a swing state during this year’s 2012 election. According to The Daily Beast, Schweitzer said Montana likely would vote for Romney, but that Romney, a Mormon, might have trouble nationally because his father, George Romney, was “born on a polygamy commune in Mexico.”...

Connecticut: A famously cool President Barack Obama lost his temper in Connecticut on Saturday after hecklers interrupted his speech at a rally. According to the Daily Mail, astonished attendees saw a visibly angry and frustrated Obama jabbing his fingers at protesters at the Bridgeport rally. “Let me just say this. You've been appearing at every rally we've been doing. We're funding global Aids. And the other (Republican) side is not. So, I don''t know why you think this is a useful strategy to take,” he said while jabbing his finger angrily in the direction of the hecklers.

Charlie Gibson, of ABC news, threw all kinds of foreign policy questions at Gov. Palin, who is running for Vice President. Well, compare that to how he questioned Sen. Obama, who is running for President. Watch this, and see who even the media realises can handle hard situations and questions! Gibson never asks Obama one hard question. No foreign policy questions. He asks Obama such things as when he "flipped" from being a drug using kid, to serious student. And when he "knew" that Michelle was "it".

Obama in Billings Wednesday Presidential candidate Barack Obama will be in Billings next Wednesday on his way to the Democratic National Convention in Denver, state Democratic Party officials confirmed Thursday. The trip will mark Obama’s fifth trip to the state during the campaign this year, an unprecedented amount of attention for a state with less than a million people and only three electoral votes.

He said he didn’t know if...

Area church target of vandals By CAROLYNN BRIGHT - IR Staff Writer - 11/03/04 Rev. B.G. Stumberg doesn't think that gay and lesbian marriages should be recognized by law and he emphasizes that, in a free country, it's his right to hold that belief. However, since he shared his opinions on CI-96 with the media recently, he's learned that not everyone agrees with that philosophy — and his parish at the Canyon Ferry Road Baptist Church paid the price for that. On Tuesday, Stumberg arrived at the church to find that vandals had spray-painted several phrases on the walls of...

HELP! I am sending out a truth alert to everyone on my email list, to counter Kerry's embracing of his Vietnam Veteran status. I need photos of him from the protest days, with his fist raised in the air, as well as a modern one, with his fist raised in the air. He spent far more time protesting the military, than he did in serving it, and I think that fact is very important to point out. Thanks

Dressed in a floor-length cape, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon was dubbed the king of peace at a coronation ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building attended by several members of Congress.

Gay rights group: Church broke law By ALLISON FARRELL Gazette State Bureau HELENA - Gay rights advocates filed a complaint with the Commissioner of Political Practices against the Canyon Ferry Road Baptist Church Wednesday, saying the church inappropriately held an event to support a proposed constitutional ban on gay marriage. Montanans for Families and Fairness, a coalition that includes InterMountain Planned Parenthood, PRIDE and the Montana Human Rights Network, said in the complaint that the church failed to report to the state commissioner it used its "in-kind" resources to support the proposed constitutional ban. Petitions supporting the proposed constitutional ban...

WASHINGTON, March 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Hundreds of grassroots leaders representing National People's Action (NPA) are paying a visit to the home of President Bush (news - web sites)'s Senior Policy Advisor Karl Rove on Sunday, March 28, because he refused to meet with them to discuss the rights of immigrant youth.

BILL O'REILLY, HOST: In the "Personal story" segment tonight, former New York City Mayor Ed Koch (search) has been a Democrat for more than 50 years, but he says next fall he'll be voting for President Bush.

And it is basically because all of the Democratic contenders seeking to run for president, with the exception of Joe Lieberman (search) who doesn't...

Is This the Kind of Country That You Want? A Letter to a Republican Friend By Ernest Partridge Co-Editor, The Crisis Papers October 14, 2003 Note: While I have many Republican friends, none are named “Whitney.” This letter is for all my Republican friends in general, and none in particular. It is also for all Republicans with whom I am not personally acquainted, who are willing to pause and reflect upon the condition of their party and their country, and then upon their consequent duty as citizens of the United States.

Castor, 14, of 1432 S.E. 24th Ave. was arrested on charges of felony cruelty to animals, feeding a gator and the theft of the cat.

The editorial in the current edition of “Al-Fateh” (The Conqueror), the Hamas monthly children’s magazine, again uses malicious messages against “the Americans, the Jews and the English.” The average age of this magazine’s reader base -- judging from the pictures, illustrations and short stories it contains – is estimated at about 10 years. It continuously publishes editorials which although not long, are embellished with hateful words against “the enemies of the Arab and Muslim nation.” Although the war in Iraq provided harsh pictures, including harm against civilians and residences, the editorial writer goes one step further, stating that “the enemies...

Children held at Guantanamo Bay Oliver Burkeman in Washington Thursday April 24, 2003 The Guardian Children younger than 16 are being held as "enemy combatants" in the American detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, the US military admitted yesterday, a practice human rights groups condemned as repugnant and illegal. Three boys aged between 13 and 15 are among about 660 inmates at the controversial camp, a US military official told the Guardian, on condition of anonymity. The official would not disclose their nationalities but said they had been brought from Afghanistan this year on suspicion of terrorism. As soon as their...

"I have to wonder: Why did it take a trip halfway around the world to teach people this truth? Anyone in America or Europe can pick up a newspaper and read stories of government-sponsored torture and murder in Iraq. But as Pepper points out, the fashionable view is that, while Saddam isn't the nicest guy, the American and British governments are the true villains. That is the mindset at work in Michael Moore and other protesters, like those carrying signs comparing Bush to Hitler—and even, in a few cases, those who assault people in the name of "peace." As Daniel...

"Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand, between their loved homes, and the war's desolation! Blest with victr'y and peace may the heav'n rescued land praise the pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just, And this be our motto,"In God is our trust" And the Star Spangled Banner In Triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

Just watching the Senate, when the Senior Senator from New York stood to participate in the filabuster of Judicial nominee, Miguel Estrada. Schumer produced a large blue board, which contained a quote. The quote was attributed to the "Legal Times, April 2002"; yet the quote was presented in a way which made it seem as if the White House had spoken the words. I would like to know if any of the brilliant political minds here would be able to tell me where the quote came from. Who actually said these words: "President George W. Bush's Judicial nominees received some...
