BETTENDORF, Iowa - Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, facing some hints of an anti-Mormon whisper campaign, said Sunday he's irritated but not overly concerned about such "personal" attacks as he makes his final pitch to voters in the early states. Such attacks, especially those focused on his faith in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, could hamper his ability to win the GOP nomination. Romney, however, said Sunday that dirty politics such as an anti-Mormon Christmas card mailed to South Carolina voters are "part of the political process" by some groups or individuals who want to muddy the water....

Here's what I like about Ann Romney. She's not a victim. She doesn't act like a victim. Never asks for anyone's pity. Rarely mentions that she has a serious neurological disease at all. She's not a cause. Or a platform. A crusade. Or a cheerleader. She's just Ann. A woman married to the same guy for nearly 40 years, convinced he'd make a good president. You can agree or disagree on that. No disagreeing with her passion. Or commitment. Or selfless campaign style. She's a role model without ever intending to be. Because as she told me on this very...

Mrs. Ann Romney: Photo from Five Brothers Blog I realize it’s early in the campaign, but as a wife and a mother, I cannot help but notice that not a lot has been mentioned in the MSM yet about potential First Ladies, and the importance of the role they play in a Presidency. In reality, it is a factor that should be taken as seriously as the candidate himself. Like the President, the First Lady represents us all, and I will be forever appreciative to Laura Bush for returning a more traditional sense or dignity, charm, and graciousness back into...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 2006 – Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld talked about the nature of terrorism as part of Radio Day at the Pentagon today, the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Sept. 11, 2001, was the greatest loss of American life from a single attack in U.S. history, he said. The death toll that day was nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. But the purpose of terrorism isn’t to kill, but to terrorize, Rumsfeld told Charlie Brennan of St. Louis’ KMOX. Fear causes people to alter their behavior, the secretary said. “As free...

As the cheers rained down on him from every part of cavernous Arthur Ashe Stadium, the sweat on Andre Agassi's brow gave way to tears. The eyes, which for 20 years had been so piercing, so sharp in pinpointing weaknesses in his opponents for exploitation on the tennis court, grew cloudy with mist. Moments before, the 36-year-old Las Vegan's highly successful career had come to an end Sunday, losing in the third round of the U.S. Open to unheralded Benjamin Becker. The 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-5 defeat closed the book on one of the greatest eras for U.S. men's...

Has anyone noticed that Kerry seems to brag about having four retired Generals that endorse him? It's kind of like his endorsement from anonymous foreign leaders. There is a psychosis about John Kerry that makes him always try to look better by claiming that people better than Kerry approve of him. He is truly NOT a man that is confident in his abilities. If you think about it, he is NOT a self made man. At least not in the way that Americans believe a self made man is constructed. Kerry's wealth comes from marriage into vast sums of money. ...

AMERICA was reintroduced this week to one of its most charming, gifted, relaxed, wily, plainspoken and ruthless politicians: George W Bush, the candidate. If the US president loses his re-election bid on November 2 - a fate that is a real possibility - it will not be because he lacks the skills needed on the stump. Love him or loathe him, the past ten days have reminded voters and political journalists just what an effective campaigner Mr Bush is. As he and John Kerry, his Democratic opponent, have engaged in the first intensive round of election-year combat, sparring with each...

CANTON — The Timken Co. didn’t load the dice with the group of workers selected to ride on President Bush’s campaign bus. At least two of the Steelworkers chosen have little or no inclination to vote for Bush in November. When Bush came to Ohio on Saturday, his motorcade started in Cleveland and picked up 10 Timken employees in Akron. They talked with the president during the ride to Canton. Timken spokesman Jason Saragian said the company’s only role was selecting the employees for the event. Half were salaried and half were union workers. “We looked for associates to represent...

Anybody else just now hear Joe Lieberman giving EFFUSIVE praise to Ronald Reagan? I put "overboard" in quotes because from the Democrat's point of view, Lieberman went way too far in his praise of Reagan. Usually the Democrats just say Reagan was a good communicator but Lieberman gave Reagan high marks for standing up for what he believed in. Also gave credit for ending the Cold War. This type of praise is taboo among the liberals.

CENTRALIA, Wash. -- Following his mother's lead, a 53-year-old doctor in Onalaska has come forward to talk openly about his heritage as the mixed-race grandson of the late South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond, a former segregationist. Dr. Ronald Williams, an emergency room physician at Morton General Hospital, spoke proudly about his grandfather in an interview with The Chronicle of Centralia and said he regrets he wasn't closer to Thurmond. "I can't imagine not being able to claim your own father," Williams told the paper in a copyright story published Wednesday. "It was even hard for us not to acknowledge it,...

The possibilities were limitless. Mark McGwire could turn his name into a commodity, his image into a series of trinkets, his life into a string of appearances. Mark McGwire, Inc. He could take the time-honored farewell tour, be carted around the country like a traveling museum piece, human memorabilia, a walking item from the Home Shopping Network. He could enter the land of the perma-grins, with a gift and an ovation in every city. Hey, what do you know -- another recliner! Laughs and handshakes all around. It's been done before. But McGwire has always treated public ostentation the way...
