National Federation of Republican Women
Applauds McCain’s Historic Selection of Palin

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Shirley Sadler, president of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW), issued the following statement today:

“The National Federation of Republican Women couldn’t be more pleased with U.S. Sen. John McCain’s selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate in the 2008 presidential election. This is an incredible milestone for the Republican Party, for the nation, and for women everywhere. Gov. Palin is a tough executive with a solid record of fighting corruption in government. Her bold leadership in Alaska proves that she won’t be afraid to shake up the status quo in Washington and that she would be ready and more than able to serve as our nation’s president. Congratulations, Gov. Palin! Republican women are excited about this historic moment and are eager to support the McCain-Palin ticket this fall.”

Founded in 1938, the NFRW has thousands of active members in local clubs across the nation and in several U.S. territories, making it one of the largest women’s political organizations in the country. The grassroots organization recruits and elects Republican candidates, advocates the Party’s philosophy and initiatives, and empowers women in the political process.

The Lie clock

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.

He asked, 'What are all those clocks?'

St. Peter answered, 'Those are Lie-Clocks. Every one on Earth has a Lie-Clock.

Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move.'

'Oh,' said the man, 'whose clock is that?'

'That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.'

'Incredible,' said the man'. And whose clock is that one?'

St. Peter responded, 'That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life.'

'Where's Barack Obama's clock?' asked the man.

'Barack Obama's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan.

(Thanks Karen for another good one....)

Words about Obama from Andy McKenna

Fine speeches alone do not make Obama ready to lead
8/28/2008

Andy McKenna, Op-Ed Daily Herald

Almost four years after the people of Illinois elected Barack Obama to be their junior U.S. senator, he will stand before thousands of fans tonight and accept the Democratic nomination for president of the United States.

The speed of his rise in national politics has been impressive by any standard. The question the American people will need to answer will be: "Is he ready to lead?"

It's certain that Barack Obama's theme upon acceptance will be "change." The word alone will raise the crowd to their feet. But will the rhetoric once again be empty?

Back home, many in Illinois will be proud of their native son giving a great speech on the national stage. However, no matter the pride they may feel, many of Illinois' hardworking men and women are surely asking themselves: what does Barack Obama's idea of change mean? What has he done to bring change to Illinois? After all, it was Barack Obama's Democratic friends like Rod Blagojevich that promised in 2002 to bring unprecedented change to Illinois government.

Unfortunately, since that time, Obama's fellow Democrats have brought Illinois nothing less than the most corrupt governor's office in Illinois history, failed to enact tougher ethics laws, voted to raise taxes in Chicago and the collar counties, ensuring Cook County has the highest sales tax in the nation, and presided over unprecedented governmental gridlock.

What did Sen. Barack Obama say about each of these failures? He was silent.

Why didn't he come back to Illinois and use some of his enormous political capital to demand change from the leaders of his own party?

Lack of leadership like this on the part of Barack Obama and Illinois Democrats makes people skeptical of his ability to lead the nation. If Barack Obama has not provided the leadership to change Illinois, how can he bring change to Washington, D. C.?

Fortunately, voters have a choice between Barack Obama, who gives great speeches about leadership, and John McCain, who has actually been a leader. While Barack Obama has talked about reaching across party lines, John McCain has led efforts to bring greater bipartisanship to Washington. While Barack Obama travels to Germany and gives great speeches about America's place in the world, John McCain is a hero who has fought to protect our country's security in a dangerous world.

Illinois voters, more than anywhere in the country, are seeking change. However, Barack Obama and his Democratic friends have failed to deliver. John McCain has always put his country first and is someone who has proven he can bring real change to this country.

Andy McKenna is chairman of the Illinois Republican Party.

Everyone agrees he's not qualified

The Serious Threat of Iran

Abortion is about the people that could have been

Democracy not for Democrats

Democrats for McCain

A portrait of B. Hussein Obama

But what do they really think?

And here's all the Democrats really telling you what they think about John McCain:

Obama ='s poverty, failure and dishonesty

WATCH THIS VIDEO: Obama's community activism

And watch this one---this guy just isn't capable of speaking a straight sentence. It's pathetic for a Harvard graduate.

If you're not against abortion, you should be after you watch this video

As a Catholic I am pro-life, but that expression has always annoyed me. I'm in favor of not murdering babies. No, I'm not pro-choice. which everyone should understand means you are in favor of killing innocent babies who have no choice about their fate.

But watch this video. It tells us a lot about the pro-baby-murdering movement. It should tell you something about the kind of people our Democratic senators are.

Killing Babies

So much for free speech

Anti-Obama Bloggers Say They Were Silenced

"Web loggers who are campaigning against Senator Obama's presidential run are accusing Google and Obama supporters of silencing them after their Web logs were marked as spam and their accounts temporarily frozen."

Just like Democrats--they always talk a good game but when it comes down to it they are hypocrites. Read the story--says a lot about what kind of leadership Barry Obama displays....

Love those flyovers

Go to this site and you'll get to see the best of the NFL flyovers. They are stunning and a real tribute to the awesome power of American machinery and the men and women who fly for the United States military.

God bless the men and women in the military.
