Pardon My Politics

Conservative talk radio host Sean Hannity stated earlier this year on his radio broadcast that 2008 would be the year in which "fair and balanced journalism" was no more. This prophetic message has sadly come true. Within minutes of the Sarah Palin nomination, CNN as well MSNBC, were running bogus headlines asking bizarre questions of the candidate. "How many houses will Palin bring to the ticket?" was the major MSNBC headline. This kind of coverage is utter filth. It is no secret that for a long time mainstream media outlets have been in the tank for the far left. What is so shocking about this year, though, is the fact so many professional correspondents are using headlines generated from far left blogs and web sites as their own "top stories." This kind of reporting is utterly insane. The worst part is, if it could get any worse, these so called "professional journalists" are using this garbage as if it is real news. For example, some far left web sites were stating that Palin's daughter's child was actually Palin's child herself. CNN ran a disclaimer stating some web sites were insinuating that the child was actually Palin's and not her daughter's.

John McCain's selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate was exactly what he needed to do to make himself competitive against Barack Obama in the November elections. (For the record, I predicted three weeks ago that Palin would be his choice.) As a result (and right on cue), conservatives throughout the country - especially Christian conservatives - are now fully supporting McCain's candidacy for President. Even James "I-will-never-vote-for-John-McCain" Dobson has endorsed McCain.

In an interview carried by CNN Monday April 15, 2008 McCain answered the questions about his age and whether he had the stamina for the job with an invitation for anyone who doubts his stamina to come along with him on his campaign. That silenced everyone. The following day McCain outshined all his opponents in his bid for the White House by outlining his economic strategy for the country. In an Associated Press article April 15, 2008 the details of Sen. McCain's plan look like the most practical short and long term proposals for the economy that anyone has heard of in a decade. McCain's proposal has a raw common sense appeal that is garnering the interest of everyday Americans and some top economists for whom the economy is a strong suit.
