Re: Quin Hillyer's And the Winner Is...:

No mention of Rick Santorum or Sarah Palin? Hmmmm.

As a very lukewarm voter for McCain, I would gladly and enthusiastically support the McCain/Kasich or McCain/Ashcroft tickets.

Both of these guys would be great choices for McCain. It would show the conservative base that McCain is willing not to just compromise with liberals, but will also compromise with the conservative right. Plus either guy will help McCain in states that McCain must win in November. Very wise choices for McCain. Of course McCain won't make these choices, he is too arrogant to take good advice.

I don't know about social conservatives, Catholics, evangelicals, etc., but if Romney is NOT on the ticket, here is one Goldwater Republican who will say Good Bye to the GOP ...PERIOD. I am SICK of political losers whose only objective is to get elected to this cushy job and then, do nothing, because they are all dumber than grass.

Romney is the first guy in 20 years that actually knows something about how the country runs. That's why all of the above don't want him. I can see how he would tank the ticket for them. If you are running for President of the blind, the one-eyed man is a threat.

Re: Robert Stacy McCain's Obama's Tank Ride:

This morning, a report on Fox said that Obama had flown over the city of Baghdad. Didn't say whether he used a plane or not. With Obama's press buildup, one can't be certain...

Respectfully, to mention "transparent phoniness" and "Barack Obama" in the same article has little meaning anymore.

That said, how fitting that Obama will speak at the Siegessaule. Of course, the irony and ignorance of his choice won't register with Obama, his handlers/ advisers and devotees or his shills in what's wrongly called the "news" media.

Perhaps he'll unveil his new anthem: "Das Lied der Obama" -- that is, "The Song of the Obama" -- sung to the tune of "Das Lied der Deutschen"?

Instead of that German national song's first few words, "Deutschland, Deutschland uber alles, Uber alles in der Welt...," Obama would substitute "Barack, Barack" for "Deutschland, Deutschland."

And the narcissist's true universal anthem will be sung: "Barack, Barack above all, above everything in the world..."

Regardless of what he does or does not do -- the inevitable gaffe or two; more than a few distorted or untrue facts about his accomplishments and those of his opponent; some American bashing; etc. -- he's becomes not just more creepy in his grandiosity and disgusting in his arrogance, but also embarrassing to our country.

We can only hope that like "Happy Days," Mr. Obama will fade from our landscape. But one must consider the liberal, left wing point of view that reality is something to ignore when it conflicts with radical dogma.
