The GOP has announced the schedule and speakers for their convention next week. One thing this proves is that they are better prepared than the DNC who got their schedule released late on August 24, 2008 for the August 25 convention.
You can read the schedule at Media Lizzy’s website. As you are reading be sure to look for the missing names of people presumed to be on the potential VP List. This is a good indicator of whom John McCain is considering. I have prepared the following chart.
The long awaited announcement from the Obama camp about his pick for Vice President came at 3 AM (there take that, HRC) via text message sent by some anonymous staffer. The world then rolled over and went back to sleep.
The pre-announcement hype has been building in the main stream media all week. The long anticipated announcement has left a lot of people wondering…is that all there is?
The whole thing reminded me of traveling cross country in the days before DDE’s dream of interstate highways. You would pass a series of signs:
After McCain won enough delegates to secure the Republican nomination, the general wisdom was that he would have to work hard to bring the conservative core of the Republican Party over to his side. For a while it appeared that he was actually trying to do that. But the honeymoon is over.
Today is Cinco de Mayo and McCain chose this date to unveil his Spanish languish web site. I have my reservations about a Spanish languish site considering American citizens, the only one’s who can vote, should be able to read an English language site. But the site itself isn’t the big problem. What is a problem is McCain’s return to language reminiscent of the McCain-Kennedy debate.
McCain is now saying that Republicans have hurt themselves by opposing McCain-Kennedy and he wants to turn that around. He’ll do so basically by implementing McCain-Kennedy once elected! It makes one wonder how sincere McCain was when he said he was a conservative and wanted to work with conservatives. Clearly he doesn’t think he needs to worry about us too much now.

Immigration is one of the many hot button issues of the ongoing Presidential Campaign. It has been the subject of many polls over the last few years.
What most voters, especially the younger ones don’t realize what the true future impact of immigration is. Today you can’t go into a store without seeing dual language signs because as the Pew Hispanic Center poll in 2006 showed a large percentage of both foreign-born and American-born Latinos do not believe they have to learn English to be a part of American Society. That’s one reason you have to “Press One for English.”
Bleeding heart liberals who think that immigration actually helps other countries should view Roy Beck’s video “Gumball Immigration” explains why this is not just a security problem but it is a serious environmental and economic dilemma. And remember Roy Beck’s numbers deal only with LEGAL immigrants. Continue Reading »
