I'll say it now...I want Gov. Mitt Romney to be Sen John McCain's running for this election. I believe if he actually chooses an Independent as in Lieberman, than we will take two giant steps back with this party. He needs to look at the conservative wing of this party and more importantly, the Pro-Life crowd. I am a strong Pro-life advocate and believe that any other choice than a Pro-life running mate is calling for disaster.
This is a short note only to give my support for Gov. Mitt Romney for VP. He is a very articulate man and understand the bells and whistles of governing. If McCain does not chose Romney, my two other choices are Sec. of State Condi Rice and LA. Gov. , Bobby Jindal. Conservative, experience and able to get the crowds going is key here. We must stop the Obamamania from taking over the middle votes. We must remain America the Beautiful and Home of the Brave. We will move away from our freedom if Obama is elected by securing more debt to pay for useless programs. Not too mention, he is not a military person, thus putting our national security at risk. Remember the downsizing that Clinton did in the 1990's? It will be far worse if Obama is elected.
God Bless America! God Bless our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marine who fight for our freedom everyday in honor of our great country.

Hatred: That's what is wrong with politics these days!
I truly enjoy the American political scene. I love the debates of ideas that could move our nation forward. I love the historical aspect of elections as well as the issues that are relevant at the time. With all these positives, there bounds to be negatives that bridges the gap of Americans. The negative here is the vast amounts of energy put towards hatred of political parties and political figures. You go to any college campus and the negativity and outright hatred towards one particular person is astounding. That person of course is President George W. Bush. Comments by many professors or other public figures is sickening. Last year Michelle Malkin talked about one person in particular, Betty Williams and other peaceniks and their hatred toward our nations leader. When you get Hollywood actors and actresses spilling out the hatred towards one person, it get sickening.
The point here is politics can become great again but it needs effort from both sides of the aisle. It doesn't mean that we have to join forces and become one party. Frankly that would be the worst thing to happen. What we need is to understand the differences in the parties but use less hatred. I had a conversation with a really good friend of mine that happens to be a public figure in the Maine Democratic Party in and we talked about that very issue. She had said that it might be better if the parties moved closer together. I explained that America needs to see the differences in policies. Our policies are different but the message is not as clear. It the differences that helped us become a great country. There were differences in religion, ownership of property and beliefs if government control. After that, she agreed that showing the differences is probably better. Both parties have essentially become watered down with hatred and at times they look too much alike. It's time is stops to move us forward. Remember President Bush and other political figures are human and make tough decisions for the betterment of this great nation. I hope we can all remember that when President Bush leaves office.
I guess this short little message is done. Just remember the hatred you may spill out towards another may comeback at you someday. Is it deserving at that point?
God Bless America!

Time away brings a new perspective.
Hello again from the wonderful state of Maine. Yes, I know it's been a few weeks since I last addressed the World but it doesn't go without thought. Think for a moment of all that has happened in the last few weeks. Jamie-Lynn Spears had a baby (or maybe two). Brad Pitt and Angilina Jolie had twins. McCain and Obama are still fighting on the campaign trail. We lost a great man in Tony Snow to the battle of cancer. Brett Favre has asked for a release from the Packers. A-Rod and his wife have split due to infidelity. And last but not least, I shot very poorly round at Palmyra Golf Course. Needless to say, the World does not stop when we stop, although it should.
In this time away I have had to deal with a new job in the environmental health and safety field and all the various programs assocaited with it. With that job comes hours of research, investigating of accidents and just meeting with individuals do hash out long term and short term goals. In my previous job, I spend most of my time conversing with my co-worker, Tom Cheetham, about our busy lives at home and semi-political analysis' of the campaigns and media coverage. Tom and I differed greatly on the political spectrum, however, we got along great both professionally and personally. Many of our political conversations consisted of talking about the scandals that existed across the board (Dems and GOP's) and us making satyrical comments about them that fit our political leanings. I, ofcourse am very conservative in my leanings. With him being the PhD. professor that teaches philosophy and Ecopsychology at Pacifica University and College of the Atlantic, obviously left leaning. We make jokes about him being the most "unsocial" Socialist in the Free World. He jokes that I like my women "real Liberal" and my politics "real conservative", thus making me the ideal candidate for any political office. The point is here, no matter how different we are, we get along great and have a great deal of respect for one another. I wonder though, do the Democrats or even Barack Obama have respect for the Republicans or President George W. Bush? I'm thinking NO.
During that time away, as I mentioned I was extremely busy with my new job. I kind of stepped away from the political arena during those weeks to concentrate on performing my job to the greatest of my ability. The thing is though, during those few weeks that I was away I wanted to see what was going on in the world but my conscience told me not to worry. Not sure why though. Then this morning it hit me. Nothing has changed. The Obama camp keeps waffling about Iraq and other policies and the Democratic leaders are still not giving the US taxpayers any relief with regards to drilling for oil at home. We are in a pinch right now with the economy, and if the Democrats want to see us out of it, they need to wake up and listen to the people. Drill Here, Drill now, and Drill Often. The speculators would get the point, thus moving the price of crude oil down due to the supply and demand factor, as well as the most important factor, that the United States will become a self-sufficient nation.
The new perspective here lies not with the campaign or the economy but with the expectations of said leaders. The perspective is, the leaders will not change, not even for the good of the people.
God Bless America!

Yet another "PC" apology from Obama.
This "politically correct" world in which we live in has gotten just about out of hand. Every minute statement or remark is checked over, scanned three or four times and beat to death by the PC police. Obama and his staffers issued another apology over the weekend, this time regarding to Muslim women who were barred from sitting behind him during a speech. Some volunteers for the Obama campaign moved the women after realizing that they were wearing headscarves and might be seen on camera. And they say the Democrats are tolerant. Um, by the actions of his campaign staffers, I would say not. If this happened to Sen. John McCain, the Democrats, Moveon.org, CAIR and many other groups would be calling for the firing of those staffers. Not in Obama's campaign.
So, let's look at this in another context. Do we really feel that Obama does want those women behind him at the next rally? Or do we think now that Obama might realize that if he portrays people from religious backgrounds, especially ones associated with terrorism, that the American people might not vote for him? That is my thought. I think he knows that the viewing some of his supporters might hurt his chances of becoming president. Am I wrong? I doubt it.
I know, many may believe that my comments are not "PC" enough or even racist in context. However, that is not the case here. Everyone seems to be apologizing these days for some sort of ethnic reference or religious comment. Does a comment automatically mean that people are racist or "intolerant?" No it does not. It means that they think a different way than others think. The intolerant part is that Obama's staffers moved two "ethnic" looking individuals so they would not be seen on camera. That is racist...period. My comments referring to Obama and his realization that certain people can hurt his campaign is not racial nor is it intolerant but more or less realistic. Remember something here, we are still at war with Muslim extremists and many in American understand this. Obama understands this as well. Any association with known terrorists or organizations does pit masses against you. Remember back when Obama entered the presidential race, he made comments regarding our military men and women who lost their lives and referred to that as "wasted". (Yes, another PC apology) That my Fellow Americans is a presidential candidate referring to the military personnel who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom from terrorism and referred to their lives as wasted for doing so. I guess Obama doesn't cherish Freedom and respect the ones that have fallen in the name of this country.
God Bless America and our Military.
