ConservaChick

...sitting here with ConservaDude watching this Presidential debate, I'm struck constantly by Barry's reference to "we" and "us." Are "we" royalty? or are "we" referring to the Democrat puppetmasters? John McCain is seriously holding his own against the royal onslaught of defensive posturing. I'm struck over and over by his sincerity and his grasp of what history has taught us. Good job, Senator. Keep up the good work.

I've been listening to the pundits yammer on and on about how Senator McCain's decision to suspend his campaign was silly. It was grandstanding. Well, this ConservaChick is proud of Senator McCain for wanting to get back to DC and focus on the job he was elected to do. Apparently, none of the pundits get it but this time on this particular point, John McCain GETS IT! I couldn't be prouder of him! Granted, working on legislation to provide taxpayer funds to bailout the mortgage industry isn't my idea of time well-spent but if Senator McCain works AGAINST the bailout then I will stand and applaud for sure! His true Conservatism could certainly come shining through and do so against the Bush administration for a change. Then who would be the RINO, eh? *cough*W*cough* Government has absolutely no business nationalizing the mortgage industry. Ever. Period. If you bought into the Democrat's idea of helping the "little guy" buy a house even though he couldn't...

Obama simply pales in comparison. Go get 'em, Sistah Sarah!! (A big thanks to the folks at Our Country Deserves Better/Move America Forward for this fun video!)

Little Mary Pat had a box of very small kittens that she was trying to give away, so she had them out on the street corner with a sign "FREE KITTENS" next to them. Suddenly a big line of big black cars came up with a policeman on a motorcycle in front. The cars all stopped and a tall man stepped out from the biggest car. Senator Obama stepped out of one black car and approached the girl. "Hi, little girl, what do you have there in the box?" he asked. "Kittens" Little Mary Pat said. "They're so small, their eyes are not even open yet." "What kind of kittens are they?" he asked. "Democrats" says Little Mary Pat. The tall man smiled, returned to his car and they drove away. Sensing a good photo opportunity, Senator Obama called his campaign manager and told him about the little girl and the kittens. It was planned that they would return the next day, have all the media there and tell everyone about these great kitten...

Don't ask me why but I found these recaps of the political conventions hilarious. Uncle Jay is always informative and funny but this other guy? Well, he's new to me but he discloses his bias and is still funny... I dunno, maybe it's the glass of wine after dinner tonight...

Talk about "Straight Talk!" Here's just another reason I wish Newt would run for President...

My mother called me on Friday, August 29th. I had taken the day off from work to finish preparations for a household move from one residence to the other. I hadn't heard a word of news all day. When I answered the phone, there was no small talk, as is the norm. There was one simple, breathless question that immediately hit the earpiece on my side. "Sorry to bother you while you're busy but have you heard the news?" she asked. I could not imagine what in the world would excite her so much. "No. What news? I've been packing all morning." "Guess who John McCain picked for his running mate!" I could hear the big smile in the question. She was giddy. Whoever it was, it was a damned good pick! I have never heard my mother so excited about anything political. She will enjoy a chat about a good speech or a chuckle over a good slam by one politician or another but I'd never heard this level of excitement over a candidate before. "Kay Bailey Hu...
