I've not seen this before. I just saw O'Reilly play it on his show and found it on youtube. Chilling and scary!

This week the McCain-Palin team raked in a bonanza of endorsements. According to conventional wisdom endorsements don't matter that much in politics, but at least one of the multiple nods announced over the past two days for the GOP's ticket could make a big difference. NRA-PVF, the National Rifle Association's Political Victory Fund, put the gun rights organization's stamp of approval on the Republican Party's presidential and vice presidential candidates, and that endorsement carries a load of clout. NRA doesn't always made a presidential endorsement in an election year, and it has not been overly enthusiastic about McCain. Jim Geraghty...

WASHINGTON — The National Rifle Association is endorsing Republican presidential nominee John McCain despite differences with the Arizona senator on gun-show rules and campaign finance restrictions. NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre and the chairman of the NRA's political action committee planned stops Thursday in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Colorado and Nevada to talk about the move. LaPierre said the two agree on many issues important to the group. "He's cast more than 60 votes in the Senate in support of the Second Amendment," LaPierre said. The NRA's Political Victory Fund has spent more than $2.3 million opposing Democratic nominee Barack Obama....

McCain Endorsed by Two Cleveland Browns Wednesday, October 8, 2008 9:12 PM By: Newsmax staff While campaigning in Strongsville, Ohio, Sen. John McCain trotted out two of the most popular players for the Cleveland Browns to praise his candidacy, according to a report in the Washington Post. Brady Quinn, a quarterback for the team, and Joe Thomas, a left tackle, smiled and waved with the candidate as a wall of noise erupted from the assembled crowd. "Too often we label people heroes. Get caught up in the moment. But tonight, we have a real hero amongst us," Quinn said in...

People may have expected this, but my understanding is that the NRA's endorsement of John McCain wasn't a guaranteed outcome, because of the NRA's past disagreements with McCain about campaign finance reform and his support for a gun show restriction bill he cosponsored with Joe Lieberman.... click on link

This video is unnerving. Look at the gleeful look on Farrakhan's face. He's talking to thousands of burka-wearin goofs about "Change, Obama and Youth." Something's really wrong here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OowxMcVTjTE

NEW YORK The Courier in Findlay, Ohio, has announced its endorsement of Sen. John McCain for President. The newspaper also supported the Republican candidate in 2004. Also committing to McCain:: The Spokesman-Review in Spokane, Wash. E&P is charting every editorial endorsement. Obama had been on a run in the past week. Send any pick to: gmitchell@editorandspublisher.com. The Spokesman-Review views McCain’s “long service” to the country and strong record of leadership as the experience needed to handle America’s affairs at home and abroad. Though the endorsement does criticize Palin as the VP pick, “she is not running for president,” and Obama...

Click here to watch "Texas Law Enforcement Officer." The National Rifle Association is intensifying it's anti-Barack Obama media campaign, launching an additional TV spot -- including a Spanish-language version -- in several news battleground states. But the Illinois senator is defending his position on gun control and using other strategies to try to reach out to a segment of the population targeted by the NRA: rural voters. The NRA has already spent several million dollars running ads in Colorada, New Mexico and Pennsylvania, but the group is now moving into media markets in Florida, Ohio and Virginia with a...

Although legendary rocker Alice Cooper has been often quoted in the media as a supporter of the Republican Party, Cooper set the record straight during a recent interview with Canada's Hour.ca. "I'll be honest, I go from Democrat to Republican," he said. "I vote for the person, not the party. [As for U.S. Vice President hopeful Sarah Palin], I think she's totally a breath of fresh air. When they say she has no experience, maybe that's what Washington needs. I still don't know who I'm going to vote for. But in a shooting war, I want a pit bull, not...

We endorse John McCain for President of the United States.By the issues, here's why: Economy: McCain fought for the federal bailout package passed last week. He has promised to permanently restructure and downsize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and supported the failed 2005 legislation that may have averted the current crisis. He wants to end the use of taxpayer money for private interests, and has called for greater transparency and disclosure in mortgage lending and banking. He also has promised to do everything possible to keep credit-worthy homeowners in their homes, including (at the Tuesday debate) using $300 billion of...

Barack Obama is the only candidate of a major party to have sought a communist party endorsement

Shelly Mandell, the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women and a life-long Democrat, has broken with her national organization stating that, as an individual, she is supporting Sarah Palin and the McCain-Palin ticket this November 4th. Calling Palin a "reformer who will break-up the old-boy network, buck the system and get Washington back on our side," Mandell introduced Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee at an October 4th rally in Carson, California. “Hey, she’s gonna work on persuading John McCain on ANWR, I’m gonna work on persuading her on things of my own,” Mandel said of Palin....

Amid a blizzard of disheartening polls a month out from the general election, the John McCain-Sarah Palin Republican ticket got some great news this afternoon: A clear go-ahead signal to millions of evangelicals across the country from Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of FocDr James Dobson founder and chairman of Focus on the Family who radio program and newsletters reach millions of evangelicals approves a vote for the Republican ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palinus on the Family, to vote for the GOP ticket.

More than 100 former American ambassadors are endorsing John McCain and Sarah Palin for president and vice president. To be announced by the McCain campaign later this week, the endorsements counter Barack Obama’s claims that McCain is inflexible when it comes to diplomacy and negotiations with other countries, Newsmax has learned. Obama has specifically said that in contrast to McCain, he would sit down with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other world dictators to negotiate, without preconditions. “Senator Obama does not have sufficient leadership experience, nor has he been tested in difficult times,” said Mark W. Erwin, a Democrat and...

"America, this is what a feminist looks like"Who said that about Sarah Palin? Would you believe the president of LA's National Organization for Women, Shelly Mandel? Amazing! This is quite a moment for her to push back against the pressure from the feminist groups who see Sarah Palin as a traitor because she's a Republican and pro-life who actually lived her principles. Let's hope more mainstream, liberal feminists come out of their closets and support Sarah because, as Shelly said, Sarah supports women's rights, equal pay, Title 9, and the middle class. She has integrity and demands it from others....

Barack Obama is not a left candidate. This fact has seemingly surprised a number of progressive people who are bemoaning Obama’s “shift to the center.” (Right-wingers are happy to join them, suggesting Obama is a “flip-flopper.”) It’s sad that some who seek progressive change are missing the forest for the trees. But they will not dampen the wide and deep enthusiasm for blocking a third Bush term represented by John McCain, or for bringing Obama by a landslide into the White House with a large Democratic congressional majority. A broad multiclass, multiracial movement is converging around Obama’s “Hope, change and...

Still, there is a choice to be made, and it is an easy one. Senator John McCain of Arizona.....

... calling for "grassroots effort" to help boost campaign. The names of four former top leaders of the Weathermen terrorist organization are listed as signatories on an online petition calling for an "independent grassroots effort" to help strengthen Obama's campaign. The petition was initiated by Progressives for Obama, an independent organization acting to ensure the Illinois senator's election. Among the names signed onto the petition are former Weathermen leaders Howard Machtinger, Jeff Jones, Steve Tappis and Mark Rudd. Machtinger was a Weathermen founder and was co-author of the terror group's original mission statement, which called for "revolutionaries within the United...

A northern Minnesota preacher's presidential endorsement from the pulpit of Republican John McCain over the weekend is part of a national challenge of federal restrictions on such political expressions. The Rev. Gus Booth of Warroad Community Church made his endorsement Sunday as part of the Alliance Defense Fund's "Pulpit Freedom Sunday." The fund said Booth and other pastors around the country were exercising "their First Amendment right to preach on the subject, despite federal tax regulations that prohibit intervening or participating in a political campaign." Booth, a delegate to the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, said Monday he did...

In an episode of 'The Simpsons' slated to run November 2, Homer Simpson will vote for Barack Obama. As Homer tries to vote for Obama, a machine changes the vote to McCain and proceeds to kill him.

The Boston Herald is one of the first newspapers out of the gate with an endorsement in the presidential race -- and their money's on John McCain. The newspaper's endorsement Tuesday described the Republican presidential nominee as an experienced leader "who is steady in the face of crisis, mature in judgment and able to reach across the aisle to break the gridlock that has for too long gripped Washington." As the economy takes center stage in the presidential campaign, McCain has lost ground in recent national and battleground polls. But the Herald said McCain has the "courage" to make necessary...

Another sobering start to an exceedingly sobering week - but one which points to the need for a political leader who is steady in the face of crisis, mature in judgment and able to reach across the aisle to break the gridlock that has for too long gripped Washington. That man is Sen. John McCain and at this critical moment in history, this paper is pleased to endorse his candidacy for president of the United States. McCain won a lot of hearts and minds around here in 2000, and we can’t help but wonder how history might have been different...

Former President Bill Clinton was hesitant to characterize Barack Obama as a "great man" Sunday, a phrase he had no qualms using last week to describe Obama's rival John McCain. Clinton told NBC's Tom Brokaw that it was only earlier this month in Harlem that he and Obama had their "first conversation." He said he had spoken with Obama before, but only in passing. Clinton then explained what he meant in characterizing McCain as a "great man." "I think his greatness is that he keeps trying to come back to service without ever asking people to cut him any slack...

ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that 300 retired generals and admirals from around the country are endorsing John McCain for president. The retired generals and admirals announced their support with the following letter: "We have had the honor and privilege of serving as career officers in the United States Armed Forces, and of serving shoulder to shoulder with so many of the fine young men and women who are the backbone of America's Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. It is that experience that informs our judgment that John McCain is...

The Baltimore Examiner and The Washington (D.C.) Examiner announced Wednesday early editorial endorsements for the McCain-Palin ticket. They joined the New York Post in that, with the Seattle Times endorsing Obama. National security and leadership potential were the main factors in the decision. The papers cite leadership, public service, and toughness among Senator Mccain’s strengths. The next president must have “the hard-earned experience” and quality of character to win the war abroad, according to the endorsement. Gov. Palin only adds to the toughness of her “maverick” running-mate, according to the papers. Palin “has the instincts, temperament and backbone” necessary to...

America is at war overseas and in an economic crisis here at home. Many of her citizens believe the country is on the wrong track. It is for times such as these that men like John McCain are made, to put country first so that it can be put right in its time of need. For this reason, The Examiner endorses McCain for president and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, for vice president. Cut through the high-toned speeches and campaign cut and thrust, and the pre-eminent issues of 2008 become strikingly clear. First, the next president must have...

September 22, 2008 Erin Brockovich for Strickland 19th Senate District Republican candidate Tony Strickland today unveiled a new TV ad that features a testimonial from Erin Brockovich, the legal clerk whose research uncovered evidence that led to a major class-action settlement with Pacific Gas & Electric over the poisoning of drinking water and whose story was dramatically told in the 2000 film "Eric Brockovich," starring Julia Roberts. "I'm a consumer advocate and a Democrat, but I'm also an independent thinker. And so is Tony Strickland," Brockovich says in the ad. Strickland consultant Joe Justin described Brockovich as "a bigger than...

A New Alliance - By Dr. Ron Paul Friends - please read this new and important piece by Dr. Paul. The press conference at the National Press Club had a precise purpose. It was to expose, to as many people as possible, the gross deception of our presidential election process. It is controlled by the powerful elite to make sure that neither candidate of the two major parties will challenge the status quo. There is no real choice between the two major parties and their nominees, only the rhetoric varies. The amazingly long campaign is designed to make sure the...

The Obama/Biden campaign continues to be bolstered by widespread support. The Russian newspaper Pravda advised voters to reject the McCain/Palin ticket, referring to Senator John McCain (R-Ariz) as a “decrepit warmonger” and Governor Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) as a “worthless bag of hair.” The Communist Party USA, called Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill), “Americans’ most feasible option for a progressive policy that will further the country’s move toward a truly socialist future.” The New York Times called the addition of the “woefully inexperienced” Governor Palin to the GOP ticket “frightening,” suggesting that “maybe there should be a Constitutional Amendment requiring at least...

― New York's Independence Party has endorsed Republican John McCain, its first major-party pick for president. Chairman Frank MacKay announced the endorsement yesterday. He said the party -- the state's third-largest -- sees the Republican senator as an independent thinker because of his work on such issues as campaign finance reform. Supporters of independent presidential candidate Ross Perot founded the state's Independence Party in 1996. It now counts about 355,000 registered voters statewide, compared to more than 5.4 million Democrats and nearly 3 million Republicans.

A group of Hillary Clinton supporters condemned the National Organization for Women's endorsement of Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden earlier this week. "The New Agenda is concerned that NOW's recent endorsement of Barack Obama leaves many women in this country out in the cold," the nonpartisan nonprofit group said in a release Friday. "The endorsement seems all the more puzzling given the fact that the Republican Party is running its first female candidate for Vice-President, Gov. Sarah Palin, and the Green Party is fielding its first all-woman presidential ticket with Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente." The New Agenda points...

"This phenomenal woman, pro-life, pro-normal marriage ... a woman's woman... a reflection of the Jewish midwives in the book of Exodus,they kept the babies alive." NEW YORK, NY (LifesiteNews) - In response to recent claims that Gov. Sarah Palin's strong religious views may be "a cause of concern" for the Jewish community, noted Rabbi Yehuda Levin has issued high praise for Palin, saying that anti-Semitic claims could not be farther from the truth for "this phenomenal woman," whom he calls "a gift from God" to America. "Sarah Palin's caring about the security of the residents of Israel is certainly important...

Hand it to John McCain for being the perpetual Lazarus, from his virtual political demise a year ago to what he wrought in Minneapolis/St. Paul with his pick of Governor Sarah Palin for Vice President. Although the GOP is in disrepute, the Arizona senator has a good shot at winning in November--and a good thing, too. Whatever Senator Barack Obama's dazzling abilities as an orator and campaigner are, he has demonstrated no understanding of the elemental importance of free enterprise or of the fundamental role of risk-taking in bringing about economic progress. To him businesses are necessary evils and must...

Donald Trump, the flamboyant New York magnate, said on CNN’s “Larry King Live” on Wednesday night that he is supporting Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for president. Trump, never shy with his opinions, went on to say that McCain appears to be winning, and that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) should have chosen Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) as his running mate. “I know John McCain, and John McCain's a great guy, a tremendous guy,” Trump told King. “I've known him for a long time. And I'm with him, and I'm with him based on the fact that I have great knowledge...

The National Organization for Women -- citing Obama's commitment to reproductive justice, pay equity, ending violence against women (Hi, Biden), and keeping marauding crackpots off the Supreme Court -- has endorsed the Obama-Biden ticket, and yes, this is actually news. NOW has not endorsed a presidential candidate in the general election since 1984, and no, that had nothing to do with Geraldine Ferraro. According to NOW president Kim Gandy -- who talked to Broadsheet late Tuesday about the group's decision -- NOW endorsed Walter Mondale in the primary, back "when he was still fighting it out with Gary Hart and...

NY Post jumps gun to endorse McCain The newspaper waited until October to endorse Bush in 2000 and 2004. Some say its September endorsement of presidential hopeful John McCain is just a marketing ploy. Breaking with newspaper tradition—and its own past practices—the New York Post endorsed Sen. John McCain for president on Monday, becoming the first major newspaper to enter the editorial sweepstakes that are a traditional part of the campaign season. Most editorial pages still adhere to the tradition of hearing out the candidates during the period after Labor Day, when the general public is believed to start giving...

John McCain has won an unusual endorsement for his presidential campaign - from the man who was his jailer in wartime Vietnam. John McCain was shot down and badly wounded while bombing a Hanoi power station on his 23rd mission over North Vietnam in 1967. He was a prisoner for over five years. Because Mr McCain's father was commander of all American forces in the Pacific theatre, the Vietnamese called him "the prince". Tran Trong Duyet, the commandant of Hao Lo prison in Hanoi from 1968-73, recalls Mr McCain "as a typical child of a traditional military family. He was...

DNCReform formally endorses John McCain for President of the United States and Sarah Palin for Vice President of the United States. Many of you are aware we (DNCRefom) chose not to jump on the John McCain bandwagon while genuine efforts were being made to see the actual Democratic Primary WINNER, Hillary Rodham Clinton, gain the nomination in Denver. Our efforts along with everyone else's were valiant but went ignored. We feel that the best presidential candidate to represent American is John McCain. We feel he will bring a much needed fiscal conservatism to Washington along with genuine change and reform...

Eight years of Bush administration foreign policy have finally nailed shut the coffin of mass international support and admiration for American foreign policy, completing the 180 degree shift from the dubious post-WWII image of compassionate liberators to that of the most dangerous nation on earth. Estimation of the US in the Arab world has plummeted to even greater depths than during Bill Clinton's presidency following the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and the unashamed disregard for Palestinian dignity, with the terrifying spectacle of mass shoe swatting and flag burning ready to ignite in any given place across the region at...

The time has come to declare whom I will be voting for. When I made my decision four years ago and supported the re-election of George W. Bush, I said at the time the overwhelming issue for me was international Islamic terrorism, including al-Qaida. The goal of Islamic terrorists was, and still is, to re-establish the caliphate encompassing most of the Muslims living in a host of nations from Spain to Indonesia and placing them under a single religious leader with full authority over the civil affairs of the countries, in the style of Iran. That goal includes the deaths...
