No Doubt MSNBC is Biased

This graphic popped up immediately after Senator McCain announced Governor Palin as his running mate. Does it really matter how many houses she might have? It is not breaking news news, it is just up there so they could convince their viewing public which is very small at this point, that if McCain took a rich person to his ticket, he does not truly know how the hurt are feeling in this country. This network is a disgrace and it is no wonder that the personalties on air fight each other everyday.

It Just Never Stops

ELECTION 2008
Muslims in fed terror probe making donations to Obama
Will candidate follow other Dems who gave back jihad-tied funds?

Islamic leaders tied by federal investigators to the radical Muslim Brotherhood in America – including one under active investigation for alleged terror-financing – have recently donated to Sen. Barack Obama's campaign for president, according to Federal Election Commission records reviewed by WND.

Jamal M. Barzinji earlier this year gave Obama $1,000, a gift that records show has not been returned. Other Democratic candidates, including Rep. Jim Moran, have refunded donations from Barzinji since federal agents raided his Virginia home and offices in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.

Great Pick

It truly is a great pick by Senator John Sidney McCain. He chose Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska and announced it today in a rally in Dayton, OH. I was privileged to attend that rally because I was in the area and I could honestly say I really love the pick. Not only is she a reformer and a fighter against wasteful spending, but she also has more executive experience than Senator Obama or Senator Biden have. For the Obama campaign to say that she is inexperienced to be vice-president is just funny itself because Senator Obama does not have any experience.

Sarah Palin is a social conservative, a proponent of drilling, a reformer who took on her own party to reform Alaskan politics, and best is she is a Washington outsider, so take that Senator Obama. The rally today in Dayton was exceptional. The crowd was into it and it truly felt like a mini Republican convention. Everybody there was excited for John McCain and it seems like many conservatives who were not happy with many of his stances on issues, including me, are finally coming to rally around him and support him knowing that not voting would be disastrous. It was a great day and it will hopefully lead to a bright future with Senator McCain as president and Governor Sarah Palin as vice-president.

Can't forget to mention this:

Happy Birthday Senator McCain

The Audacity of Jimmy Carter

Carter: McCain 'milking' POW time
y Alan Gomez, USA TODAY
DENVER — Former president Jimmy Carter called Republican presidential candidate John McCain a "distinguished Naval officer," but said the Arizona senator has been "milking every possible drop of advantage" from his time served as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Is Jimmy for real? First he sits down with Hezbollah, next he describes how many nuclear weapons Israel has and the rest of our allies, and now he is claiming Senator McCain is overusing his POW time as part of his campaign. This is disgusting and just reprehensible. To say that Senator John McCain would use his time served in a POW camp while being tortured to further advance his political career is sickening. It's just as sickening to those people who say that President Bush was in charge of 9/11. Jimmy Carter needs to stay away from the public. His comments continue to get worse and worse as the months go by.

MSM Bias Taking Its Toll

PINCH: NY TIMES July revenue down 10.1%; ad revenue down 16.2%...

NEW YORK (AP) -- New York Times Co. said Tuesday that its July revenue from continuing operations fell 10.1 percent this year as advertising revenue slipped 16.2 percent.

Overall revenue dropped to $235.9 million in July from $262.3 million in July 2007, the publisher said.

A continuing drop in classified ads and cutbacks in spending by movie studios, car companies and hotels were offset only partially by a rise in revenue from media, financial services, advocacy and health care ads for a net drop of 16.2 percent.

The company's flagship The New York Times paper had 15.3 percent lower ad revenue. At its New England media group, which includes The Boston Globe, July ad revenue dropped 24.5 percent.

Powerful Ad

This new powerful ad released by Vets for Freedom is good because it puts faces to the surge. The same surge that Barack Obama has opposed and would not support it even if he knew how successful it would be because changing the political debate was more important to Senator Obama. Vets for Freedom does a great job and now this ad you get to see people who are actually part of the surge.

It is Treason

The new ad posted by the American Issues Project is a hard hitting ad linking Obama to Ayers. This ad gives me hope, hope that John McCain has a very very good chance of winning in November; especially since now Barack Obama has opened the floodgates for all scrutiny by saying they are not friends now. No future or sitting president should have associations like Obama has in William Ayers. This man was responsible for the bombings of the Pentagon, the Capitol Building, and police stations. Forget policy for a second, forget if you are a liberal, moderate, conservative or even an independent, this one fact that Barack Obama has known and has served on boards with and that this terrorist help start Barack Obama's career should be enough to just say no for voting for Obama. This friend of Obama who he called respectable and mainstream was responsible for bombing our own country. Talk about treason.

Joe Biden is Great for the GOP

If Senator Obama chooses Joe Biden for his veep, then it is great news for the Republican Party this year. The polls already are tightening and even in a Reuters/Zogby poll McCain is leading by 5 points. Joe Biden is not new politics. He has a big mouth and has said so many outrageous statements over the years. Jim Geraghty writes about his statements on nationalreview.com
