This is apparently making it way around the internet without any credits. My hat is off to whomever came up with this.

I have never really understood why a mid-western state with so many hard-working, generally well-educated people, a majority of whom go to church every Sunday, would be so liberal. South Dakota is, of course, the state that gave us Democratic senators George McGovern and Tom Daschle. McGovern, as I'm sure you remember, ran for President in 1972 and was crushed by incumbent President Richard Nixon. Hubert Humphrey, who was elected as a senator from Minnesota and ran against Richard Nixon in the 1968 presidential election, was also originally from South Dakota.

The general consensus in the MSM is that Barack Hussein Obama is going to win in South Dakota tomorrow. I hope it doesn't come to pass, not because I'm a Hillary supporter, but because I hope the people of South Dakota can see Obama for what he is - a racist, anti-American with an agenda that would bankrupt us financially at home and politically abroad.

Good luck Hillary! I hope you give the boy from Illinois what for tomorrow.

Senator McCain, who will normally cross the aisle in the blink of an eye, understands compromise and, just as he did when he went along with the 'gang of 14' which allowed some worthy candidates to the federal bench to be thrown under the bus while getting other federal judgeships approved, could have and should have voted for sending the much needed funds to Katrina victims, while looking the other way at the pork.

Now, because of his forceful "never again, never again" proclamation, one would believe that, as President, McCain would have signed the pork-filled bills if they were sent to him.

McCain voted against the funds for the relief effort as senator, but would have us believe that he would sign the legislation as President? "To be or not to be".... Which is it John boy??

It seems the Straight Talk Express wants to play politics with the Katrina catastrophe and today it became the Double Talk Express.

Could this have happened to a nicer guy?!

Update: In a very brief statement about the reports of his involvement in what he described as 'a private matter," Governor Spitzer had this to say, in part: "I apologize first and foremost to my family. I apologize to the public to whom I promised better."

No resignation was forthcoming, but because of his low approval ratings and his involvement in the smear campaign he has led against New York state senate majority leader Joseph Bruno, a resignation is almost a certainty.

You can read more about the smear campaign here and here.

(Then-Senate minority leader, Tom) "Daschle said that throughout April and May of 2001, he and McCain “had meetings and conversations on the floor and in his office, I think in mine as well, about how we would do it, what the conditions would be. We talked about committees and his seniority … [A lot of issues] were on the table.”"

To be fair, Daschle's claim was denied by McCain's campaign.

In a statement released by his campaign, McCain said, “As I said in 2001, I never considered leaving the Republican Party, period.”

Perhaps McCain was leading the Democrats down the primrose path; perhaps not.

You can read the entire article here and decide for yourself.

I was watching MSNBC for a couple minutes this afternoon and saw a campaign ad being run by the Senator's own campaign that ended with the full screen saying "John McCain - True Conservative." You can watch the ad here.

This ad shows just how desperate he is to sleep in the White House for the next four years and, not unlike Hillary Clinton, will say anything, absolutely anything, to get there.

The fact remains that McKennedy McCain is not a conservative. You can count on one finger the areas where he has been a supporter of any conservative values. He has usually just given the finger to conservatives to show his disdain for conservative values.

I will give you that McCain has supported the war against terrorism, but only minimally. Remember he still would let al Qaeda blow us to kingdom come if they were captured and had any information about terrorists attacks in the works. He wouldn't lay a glove on them. I want someone with the stomach for the fight and McCain is not that man.

After majoring in French and political science at Tufts University, Richardson earned a master's degree in international affairs from Tufts' Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in 1971. From there he went on to serve for over 14 years in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat from New Mexico. He then served as the Secretary of Energy and Ambassador to the United Nations in the Clinton administration and is currently the Governor of New Mexico.

That is a resume unrivaled by any of the candidates. Hillary’s experience came to her through osmosis in the rarefied air of the First Lady’s offices in the White House and Barack Hussein Obama is an empty suit, having accomplished virtually nothing during his days as an Illinois legislator and his two years as a U.S. senator. Obama's two years in the U.S. Senate were really more like one year since he normally worked about three days a week in that post.

Unfortunately, the Democrats are blinded by their burning desire to install a woman or an African-American in the White House and gave little support to the one man in either party who was truly qualified to be President.
