...of who will become John McCain's running mate. The evidence was a big, glossy poster with Mitt Romney's face on it and the message "MITT FOR VEEP/McCain-Romney '08" - Mary Ann Akers, The Washington Post "MITT for VEEP" signs are popping up around town -- especially near McCain headquarters... - Matt Lewis, Townhall.com Some zealous Mitt backers have posted the above sign near McCain's Arlington, VA, residence. - Jonathon Martin, Politico These signs have been spotted around McCain's Virginia HQ's and in Washington. - Blake Dvorak, Real Clear Politics

Just a casual observation for discussion. Sort of was on the back of my mind - it crossed my mind as I was paging through Corsi's new book "The Obama Nation" (which Barnes & Noble book store hid the one copy in the back of the store). Corsi makes reference to the Million Man March. I did not find any reference to the D.C. snipers while paging through it. But I was sort of thinking back to those days. Remember the Washington, “D.C. snipers”, and the horrific days of terror that left 10 people dead at the hands of James...

I went to purchase my copy of the just released “The Obama Nation” (by Jerome R. Corsi, PH.D.) – “Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality” at a San Francisco Bay Area Barnes & Noble book store. The book is all the buzz on talk radio, and even among the Leftist media which hates America and which is currently supervising the election campaign for Obama. The is no question, the book is going to be a top seller. This Barnes & Nobles has a New Releases / Just Arrivals section which is always prominently displayed when you walk into the...

The release of Jerome R. Corsi’s new book “The Obama Nation” goes on sale August 1st. It will have an impact, and you can preorder now. There will be an audio cd release as well. Recommended reading, and let’s make it a best seller. Heard an interview with the author, it's going to have an impact. Good stuff.

My heart was in my throat. Someone say McCain can’t give a good speech? Well, the live speech he just gave at the American GI Forum in Denver was something that really moved me, and I believe it would any true American. Especially the story of Benavidez, whom honestly I knew nothing about. I was watching on FOX News, cable. Prior to McCain describing us the story of Benavidez (and I’m sorry and ashamed, I am so ignorant of him that I do not even know if I am spelling his name correctly, and yet such an American hero should...

Joe Lieberman would be a personal choice of mine in that I would believe it could bring in enough votes to take the win for McCain, but obviously while I admire him so very much there are a number of political issues I disagree with – but there are also many that I agree with Joe on. The problem is I’m dreaming this one, because I don’t think the conservatives would be very happy with this choice. Still, I have him as a personal favorite, but it isn’t going to happen. I liked Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska), but the problem...

Because McCain looks like a midget standing next to Romney. I’m serious. I was just watching FOX News cable (H&C) going over the VIP picks for McCain, and they just showed McCain and Romney standing together and, man – did you see it? - the height difference is so noticeable, I mean, it was comedic. I swear. I just had to laugh – that WAS my first reaction. No, this thing isn’t going to work. Image matters. I voted for Romney ... but … Image matters. It just does. Go Lakers. Maybe. By the way, Obama called Asian basketball players...

Lakers 92 at Celtics 131 HAVE A CIGAR!

In the carnival of San Francisco, the land of gay pride, you will now have the distinct pleasure of driving with your family down a city street, and the car in front of you will be playing homosexual sex acts right in front of your face for all your children to see on one of those contraptions that play movies in a moving automobile. Right in your face. Do you have a problem with that? This is happening now. In San Francisco, and other cities. We are going to be told that we have to accept this, just like we...

Listening to the tone of many Hillary supporters, they are angry. Even the slaves in the old slavery states were considered “3/4th’s of a person” under law, but apparently the DNC and many leading Democrats - the same ones who in the General election(s) against Republican Bush demanded that “every vote be counted” - now demand that Michigan and Florida voters only be counted as “1/2 of a person”. One could argue that the DNC elite, which is for Obama, considers these voters as perhaps less than even the slaves of the Old Democratic Party South. Putting Michigan aside, if...

I want to thank Charlie Payne for his part in serving during World War II and in his part in helping liberate the Buchenwald concentration camp. And I want to say, that I am sorry that he will now have his privacy be subject to the harassing media and reporters who are seeking a story. As with many who served, many would prefer to keep such matters private. My father served in Germany during WWII, but he does not like to go into details, though I do know enough to give an accurate accounting. And I am sure that Democratic...

Al Gore likes to say that human caused global warming is an indisputable fact. And using the same way of thinking of an Al Gore, it’s just as rational for me to say that it’s an indisputable fact that RAP music kills more people than cigarettes. I mean we can see from a random sampling of two decades prior to RAP music in a scientific assessment of two decades since RAP music the increase in killings which, of course, we must attribute to human caused RAP music, not to speak of the message of murder, cop killing, rape, drugs and...

The problem with Bush is that Americans became unhappy with his style of management. I never liked the “Big Tent” idea since I believed it really had less to do with being Big anything and more about having to wear check pants or you don’t belong in the tent. In fact, it wasn’t even a tent. It was a “club”. But whatever the case, Bush was suppose to lead the “Big Tent” in the Republican Party in the first decade of this Century, but almost everyone, and not just conservatives, became alarmed at the way big walls between his Administration...

You all probably heard H.C. in W.V. and, if anyone says Hillary Clinton cannot deliver the stump speech that connects with Americans than you are crazy. We are being told by the old media about the oratory of B.O. . . . the “rock star” and his delivery. They try contrast B.O.’s stump speech with H.C., as if B.O. is so wonderful, and H.C. isn’t the orator of B.O. . . . . And all I have to say after most of my life watching politics and listening to stump speeches and oratory is that H.C. out did anything I...

My wife needed a cheap plastic bowl to keep some snacks in for a party held by a local school. And by God, she goes to the Dollar Store to pick one up, and there is a whole shelf of plastic 10 inch fruit bowls – by GOD, all labeled MADE IN THE USA. And these were nice ones. With so much bad news, I just had to share this good news. It is what I want to see. I want to see MADE IN THE USA. I kissed the plastic fruit bowl.

The reports are clear, that it is the Buddhist monks doing the foot work to help the people in need right now in Burma. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW WE CAN SEND MONEY DIRECTLY TO THE BUDDHIST ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE DOING SUCH SELF-SACRIFICING WORK (many are giving their own lives for others) ??? Please post any information how we can get their contacts, and how we can give or help. Reports are very clear of also the amazing work of many Jewish organizations that are helping, I want to thank all those who are doing this help. I have found the...

With 92% in for Indiana, it’s Hillary 51% and Obama 49%. The deal here is, for those of you who say it’s going to be easier to beat Obama in the General because of the preacher deal, don’t forget the ability of the phony liberal news to put that story way behind us as they go Bonkers for Obama after tonight. The preacher story is going to be old news, for sure ABC, NBC, CBS is going to leave it WAY behind, and don’t underestimate the ability for so many Americans to forget the whole thing sooner than you think....

The statement “reconsidering why I considered even reconsidered considering voting for McCain” sort of doesn’t make any sense, but yet it does. Myself, as in millions of other Republicans, have a real dilemma in the behavior of John McCain. I wasn’t for him in the primaries, my candidate of choice lost. There has been a lot of talk about folks being “bitter”, as in the recent comments from that idiot Obama for example (oh, I’m sorry John, I guess I shouldn’t call Obama an “idiot”, should I? After all, you want to run a clean campaign, right?) . . ....

I don’t want our women to be told they have to wear a bed sheet over their head. And I don’t want our women to have their car keys taken away. And I don’t want our women to be told they cannot vote. Or that it’s ok for the male husband to literally beat the life out of his wife if she throws a lamp at him. I don’t want our women to be told they cannot drink a beer. Or a bottle of wine. Or a shot of Scotch. Or that they cannot smoke a cigarette, or choose or...
