I only listed those that announced they are running for President. They are in no particular order and please be respectful of each others thoughts. Let me know if there is any I need to add to the poll.

Brethren, Donald Trump made a great economic speech at the, "Detroit Economic Club," in Detroit, MI I rarely watch full speeches by any politician, and, personally did not care to hear Trump in a full speech, but, after hearing what he had to say initially, I decided to watch the full speech. I thought it was a great speech that is worthy of our attention. August 31, 2020 Note: The "Detroit Economic Club" link was removed (for whatever reason), so, I decided to replace it with the "President Trump's RNC Convention Speech." I would suggest to watch the full speech. It starts out with an introduction by Pence (which by the way would make a gr…

I've decided Herman Cain is my man. I read his 999 plan and so far I like everything he stands for. The only thing...has he explained how his 999 plan is supposed to work with state income and sales taxes? In and of itself, his plan is awesome, because it pulls together the flat/fair tax people. However if States are still permitted to use their old taxing, it still may be too much, as some states have overwhelming property, sales, income, etc taxes. Also, has he said anything about Social Security? I've missed most of the debates.

Have you seen that now the election is over the McCain staffers are beginning to speak out on the selection of Palin and how she was during the campaign? Fox News has been reporting on this. It seems hardly anyone other than McCain wanted to select Palin, and he only wanted to select her in order to stir things up and go for a "hail Mary". According to staffers, she didn't meet the requirements that had been set forth but McCain decided to risk it all just to go for the maverick, shock and change value. McCain staffers say Palin was so uninformed on things that she didn't know Africa was a continent (she thought it was just a group of countries) and she didn't know wh…

Supreme Court Justice David Souter's Clerk informed Philip J. Berg, the lawyer who brought the case against Obama, that his petition for an injunction to stay the November 4th election was denied, but the Clerk also required the defendants to respond to the Writ of Certiorari (which requires the concurrence of four Justices) by December 1. At that time, Mr. Obama must present to the Court an authentic birth certificate, after which Mr. Berg will respond. The rest of the article:http://texashillblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/scotus-requires-obama-to-show-birth.html Apparently the SCOTUS would like to know for sure. C

Ground Zero Mosque Should Not Be Built I agree, I feel they're doing so as a reminder of who did it, and shows no compassion at all.

All the talk about Obama being ahead in polls in Ohio must be polls from the cities. Here in rural South East Ohio I'm seeing very little evidence of any support for Obama. However we are negatively impacted by his war on coal, the resulting close of power plants, and loss of jobs. I would guess that is why no visits here from the Obama-Biden camp.

All the online news sources are reporting that (in my words) an unidentified white male exercised his "freedom of choice" to abort mass-murderer George Tiller. What is really offensive is that this monster was executed while serving as an usher at "church", which would obviously be one of those pseudo churches that are really nothing more than satan worshipping heretic posing as Christians. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,523581,00.html Arrest Made in Shooting Death of Abortion Doctor at Church, Source Says WICHITA, Kan. ? A Wichita city official says a suspect is in custody in the shooting death of late-term abortion provider George Tiller. The city official s…

I think its interesting that Hillary's mouth says "Vote Obama" but her actions show she is hoping for a miracle in the nomination. They say she is symbolically putting her name into the nomination but that she is telling everyone to vote for Obama. There is something weird about that.
