I usually wax political here when I discuss the upcoming election. Today I am going to point out that it is primary day in my home state of NY. If you are a registered voter, get out there and vote. Aside from that, if you are – as I am and for the first time in… Continue reading Useful Election Events Upcoming
While I am not a huge fan of Bill O’Reilly nor of Fox News, I am intrigued with O’Reilly’s recent interview with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. I do not find the interviewer rude when he tries to get answers to the question he has posted but he does do it a lot in the… Continue reading Obama in the No-Spin Zone
I find the entire discussion of whether Sarah Palin can do a job and raise a family of five offensive. I find it offensive as a woman but more importantly, I find it offensive as a single mother of six. Granted, I have six kids, not five, and as of this moment, none of my… Continue reading A Day in the Life of a Mother of Six
John McCain spoke to AARP’s national “convention” via satellite feed at 12:30 pm ET today. The format was similar to that of McCain’s opponent Barack Obama in that there were opening comments and a statement by McCain prior to a question and answer session from pre-submitted questions of AARP members. McCain, in my mind, was… Continue reading Social Security and McCain
Here’s a post for you women out there. I guess it is also for you men out there who like women or who have a woman in your life – mother, sister, wife. So really it is just a question. I was purusing my normal political blogs today when a headline caught my eye. The… Continue reading A Question for the Women out there
I am not finding either major party presidential candidate very forthcoming on issue details in their every day stump speeches. McCain is repeating lines that are now old about his new running mate and Obama is, well, a great orator but short on detail none the less. Except when addressin a specific constituency – labor… Continue reading Social Security and Obama
People – mostly the news media – were concerned when the Republican National Convention was trying to get started. It was going to literally rain on their parade. Natural disasters do not consult with political parties for a convenient time to occur. The GOP did what was needed – curtailing events on their opening night,… Continue reading RNC Final Night
There were some remarks last night that just need to be put out in the public for requoting. These will probably be the bits and bites you hear over and over again on the television news. Meg Whitman – “John McCain will be guided by simple beliefs.” Carly Fiorina – “Will government stand by their… Continue reading RNC Night 3 Quotes
I have to admit I was skeptical before the night starting. The stakes for Sarah Palin’s speech were so high yet someone thought it was a good idea to put her speech after three of the best speakers the GOP has – Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani. I wasn’t sure there was anyway… Continue reading RNC Night 3
Mike Huckabee was sandwiched in between former rivals Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani. I think that both Romney and Giuliani were lacking in their speeches. Huckabee, on the other hand, hit it out of the park. I was so impressed. I have taken my notes on his speech and put them in separate post as… Continue reading Mike Huckabee at the RNC – Night 3
