Speech after speech, McCain's running mate, Palin, has promoted Grandpa's war record. How his imprisonment in Vietnam has given him some special experience to become President. That does not sound like change to me. Oh, by the way, it has been revealed that Palin did not sell an executive government…

I agree. There is too much vitriol going on, but what do you expect when you have a millionaire geriatric and his pig with lipstick wanting make the White House part of McCains property portfolio. Perhaps McCain is looking at the White House as his retirement home.

John McCain has just hired a GOP operative, Jake Tapper, who helped smear him in South Carolina in 2000. OMG! The only reason McCain chose Palin was to get the Hilliary and evangelical vote. He also has onboard the Democrat turncoat Joe Leiberman. I think John McCain has set the…

I just wonder, as a potential vice-President, what Palin's views will be on unwanted pregnancies among teenagers, which is quite a social problem in the States. Surely it goes against her present religious, evangelical convictions to promote safe sex outside marriage. As the saying goes: Nearest the pulpit, furthest from…

A June 2007 report released by the American Society of Civil Engineers states that the failures of the FEDERALLY built levees in New Orleans were found to be primarily the result of system design flaws. On May 2, 2008, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal used a speech to The National Press…
