The Speaker should go.
By Mark R. Smith
Yesterday, Congress took the position that Main Street, not Wall Street rules America through the votes of their elected officials. Led not by the Democrats but by the Republican minority and some conservative Democrats who listened to their constituents. Main Street rules. (more…)

With less than six weeks until Election Day, presidential campaign activity is heating up. John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin gave him a nice bounce in the polls following the GOP convention, but after ten days of the media’s anti-Palin hatchet job, most polls show Obama with a small lead.
To my Republican friends I say, don’t worry. Dukakis was leading by double digits at this time in his ill-fated campaign against Bush 41 in 1988. You can’t argue the fact that this is a year Democrats should win the White House, but their ill-conceived selection of a senator who has done nothing other than given an eloquent speech or two will be their downfall.

McCain’s Veep pick has energized the party and turned McCain’s longshot candidacy into a probable victory
By Larry Thornberry
It’s storm season in Florida, and elsewhere around the Gulf of Mexico, as the very bad weekend news out of Texas underlines. But local Republicans are more focused on Hurricane Sarah than they are on the blow-dried meteorologists and perky weather-babes who come on at six and 11 to speak of storms and rumors of storms.
As most know by now, the choice of Sarah Palin for VP has injected turbo excitement into a formerly charisma-challenged McCain campaign that almost certainly would have been DOA Nov. 4 without the considerable boost she’s provided. (more…)
Obama Attacks Demean his Presidential Campaign
By Jamie Miller
Many in the news media and certainly Whoopi Goldberg are trying to appeal to voters after the “Palin Bounce” by trying to revert to the campaign that won Barrack Obama the Democratic Nomination for President – racism.
Yes, there is but one racist in this year’s Presidential race and it is Sen. Obama. (more…)
Campaign slogans that probably won’t make it to a bumber sticker near you
By Michael A. Matteo
As we get closer to Election Day campaign commercials begin to bombard the American public. By the time it is all over we will all be really sick of hearing the campaign slogans, “Change We Can Believe In” and “Country First.” (more…)
It’s more than just believing
By Mark R. Smith
What do National Parks, Highways, and the Civil Rights movement have in common? According to Barack Obama late last week on the stage at Columbia University, the answer is: government. Obama continues to chant his campaigns mantra. “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” (more…)
Republican’s view: Sarah Palin proves she can deliver
By Chris Ingram
Sarah Palin delivered an out of the park speech last night. And John McCain can be proud of his selection and ignore the personal and political attacks the media and the Obama campaign have smeared her with over the last week.
Palin introduced herself to voters by giving a speech that was thoughtfully delivered; she demonstrated compassion, integrity, a sense of humor, and the ability to go on offense against Barack Obama and Joe Biden. (more…)
Bush/Cheney not appearing in primetime is a blessing in disguise
By Chris Ingram
With the media hype over hurricane Gustav bearing down on the Gulf Coast you would think the storm devastation had already occurred. John McCain and the G.O.P., not taking any chances of being directly reminded of George W. Bush’s inept response to hurricane Katrina (the media will do that), have cancelled tonight’s primetime convention activities.
John McCain’s prayers have been answered. The prayer went something like this:
Dear God,
I have been your faithful servant for many years. Your support when I was in the Hanoi Hilton saved my life. For that I thank you. (more…)
