The selection of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as Senator McCain’s running mate was an excellent choice.

What makes the choice of Gov. Palin so outstanding is the way it highlights Senator Obama’s shortcomings.

City Council, Mayor, Ethics Commissioner, Governor is far more executive experience than Community Organizer, State Senator, US Senator.

Gov. Sarah Palin is personally and politically pro-life. Senator Obama doesn’t want “his daughters punished with a child” and is one of the most pro-abortion politicians anywhere.

Senator Obama had shady real estate dealings with a now convicted felon. Gov. Palin took on the political establishment of Alaska over the issue of corruption.

I am sure Barack Obama will give an inspiring acceptance speech tonight.  But don’t they realize that 10 PM is bed time for all the working people they claim  to speak for in the Eastern Time Zone?

Good night!

Oops. How well did they check out Joe Biden?

Who should John McCain pick for his Vice Presidential running mate?

1. Kay Bailey Hutchinson

2. Mitt Romney

I think he should pick Senator Hutchinson, but I believe he will pick Mitt Romney.

Biden for Vice President? Senator Joe Biden has been in Congress since Richard Nixon was President.

Joe Biden got the 3 AM call and then went back to sleep.  Does that show that he understands the importance of getting selected for Vice President?

The County Commissioner from Merritt Island wants to regulate what I can park in my driveway.

Keep out of my driveway!

If you can take away my freedom, what will stop others from taking away yours?

Too many local news reporters have expressed concern about beach erosion.  Beaches erode with normal waves.  Beach erosion is no tragedy.  The wasted money spent on beach replenishment is a tragedy, but that is caused by stupid people not a tropical storm.

Homes flooded because of inadequate drainage is a real tragedy. It can be remedied next by week by not voting for local incumbants.  A lot of flooding is in County Commissioner Jackie Colon’s district.  Should she get elected tax colletor?  I don’t think so.

Yesterday, I got a “Notice of hearing on Brevard County Fire Services Assessment”.  Since my castle has a moat, all the way to the street, greatly reducing my fire risk, I think I should get a steep discount.

Why would the McCain camp put out feelers for the possibility of a “Pro-Choice” running mate?  Such an action could only raise doubts about how “Pro-Life” McCain is.  If someone truly believes that human life begins at conception and that human rights should apply, how could one consider a running mate who thinks it is OK for mothers to kill their off-spring?

Saturday night, Barak Obama answered “Who would you not have appointed to the Supreme Court?” by stating that Clarence Thomas wasn’t qualified for the Supreme Court when he was nominated.

Well, not only was  Clarence Thomas qualified, but he was more qualified than most Supreme Court nominees.

I’ll go a step further and state that when Clarence Thomas was nominated for the Supreme Court, he was more qualified to be President than Barak Obama is now!

Yesterday, I received a large post card from “Citizens for a Sustainable Economy” saying “Jason Steele’s financial contributors will gas you up and blow you away.  See other side for details…”

On the reverse side a banner reads “GREEDY OIL & INSURANCE COMPANIES FINANCE JASON STEELE”.  The post card points out among Jason Steele’s contributors were 3 insurance groups and 2 oil companies.  Conveniently left off was how much/little they gave and how large/small those contributions were in relation to other donors.

See http://www.floridatoday.com/content/databases/campaignmaster.shtml to look donations for yourself.

As of this morning the largest of Jason Steele’s donors gave $500.00 (less than a third of a percent of his total donations

Jason Steele  had 464 donors giving a total of $131,215.64.

Ron Stump had 61 donors giving a total of $18,252.75.

Ken Babington had 95 donors giving a total of $14,373.95.

John Tobia had 26 donors giving a total of $8,620.00.

Tim Shipe has 27 donors giving a total of $1,816.64.

Evidence for the “greedy insurance companies” was an Orlando Sentinel editorial about State Farm rate request. Evidence for the “greedy oil companies” was a Wall Street Journal article about Exxon Mobil profits going up last quarter, omitting any reference to the amount it cost Exxon Mobil to make their record profits or that they paid 3 times as much in taxes as they made in profits.

The postcard ended with “Call Jason Steele. Tell him to stop taking money from State Farm insurance front groups, Exon Mobil and Chevron Corp.”

I thought the use of the term “insurance front groups” was interesting.  It reminds me of “Communist front groups”.   I did a Google search for “Citizens for a Sustainable Economy”.  I found that they don’t have their own web site and they did another hatched job in Lee County ( http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2008/aug/15/mailing-attacks-signals-start-lee-county-political/?printer=1/ ).

I may vote for  Jason Steele just because someone using leftist language doesn’t like him.
