Cindy McCain and women of substance

Another impressive woman. I had no idea of just how substantial a person until recently. She has a foundation, which she runs, which gives away millions of dollars to help others. She makes trips and does a ton of humanitarian work.

I love the story of the two little girls she brought home from one of her trips.

One thing I love about Republicans is that they act. They don't just talk. They don't whine to the government to do something. They figure it out and make it happen.

I know most have heard the stats about the comparison between those who consider themselves liberals or Democrats and those who consider themselves conservative or Republican? The right gives so much more than Dems. That's because we believe that we should do it ourselves, not look to the government to redistribute wealth.

I'm looking forward to hearing more about Cindy McCain tonight.

Here's another one for you... the Dems talk about equality and being color blind and gender blind and... and... and... But the Republicans are the ones who have more women and more minorities in positions of power. Take a look at the President's appointees and those he selects for positions of importance. Then think about who goes after these picks and trashes them. You'd think they'd be applauding Bush for picking Hispanics, women, blacks, etc. Or at least they'd try to keep up.

Why are people so enamored of the rhetoric when there are no facts and no substance to back it up?

Talk about someone with substance, I'm still smiling when I think about having Sarah Palin on the ticket. It's so clear today that the Dems are still in a dither about how to handle her!

Bridge to Nowhere...

I listened to the talks this morning, curious to see whether the Obamacrats had come up with any kind of unified message to attack McCain-Palin.

They even dragged out old Kerry to try. Don't you just want to drag his words out, tell him to speed it up? Man I go to sleep listening to him drone.

They tried. They failed.

They can't go after her on experience. She's second in line, their less-than-qualified-choice is first in line. If the "change" guy bites the dust then what do we have? OLD-School Washington Biden, no-change-Biden.

Don't you just love listening to all these politicians trying to tell us what we're supposed to think?

Remember the old adage, something about throwing enough mud sooner or later something will stick? They are throwing all they have an so far nothing is sticking.

I love it that she turned down the Bridge to Nowhere. Ha, take that Washington. The Dems tried to talk about the fact (I assume) that when she ran for office she was for it, but then got into office and voted against it. Well la-de-da. I've been around enough campaigns to know that until you actually get into office you don't know all the facts, you may think one way while running based on what you're being told, but then when you see the full story realize it just ain't what you thought it was going to be.

When she starts compromising her principles, then I'll take note. But to change her mind about money being handed out from Washington? Nope, she ultimately did the right thing and that's what matters. I might have a huge problem if she'd done it the other way around, said she was against the bridge then embraced it when she got into office.

Get real guys. I know you're digging and digging right now, you're trying trash on focus groups hoping something will make then go "ewww, no way". You're tossing garbage and hoping something is going to stick in our minds. Shame you're not going to give up, but hey, that's old-style Washington politics and you guys are good at the same-old-same-old. Wrap it in an Obama Change Blanket and tout it as being new. Here's what's new ---- someone who's willing to buck their own political party to do what's right for us, for the American public.

You have two guys who wouldn't know change if their babies diapers were full.
