Came across this site for a Laura Morask a Republican running for a judges seat in Cook County, IL (just south of where I grew up). I like the way she pulls google maps into her site, it caught my eye. More importantly, I think its really important that local races embrace the netroots movement on our side, thats the only way to really build the kind of online activism we need. Here is a site thats didnt cost a lot of money, but they invested time into making the content look and feel good to a variety of users, and they added some nice features tha make it a good user experience. Very cool, good luck Laura!
Rumor has it Obama’s campaign is in talks to sponsor a car at this years Pocono race. Two things bug me: first I have a very hard time believing Obama has ever watched a NASCAR race (after all I don’t think they serve his brand of Pinot at too many tracks these days). Secondly, didn’t he just call these same people “bitter” just a few months back to all his elitist friends? Does he really think he can buy off working class america with a logo splashed across the Sprint car? I think the Obama team is spinning there wheels on this one (bad pun intended).
Whammy! This is a great biographical ad for Sen. McCain. He has always been a driving force for reform, probably one of the most active reformers of government in our nation’s recent history, and this ads reminds us of who John McCain really is. It gets past the media spin, and the silly claims of Barack Obama. Everyone knows that John McCain is an independent crusader for change in our government. Watch it now:
Wrapped up this weekends state chair training this morning. People for the most part seemed enthusiastic and energized afterwards. A lot of people are ready to get to work, and its really awesome to see. Thanks to everyone who came, and thanks for all you’re doing.
Yes, although hard to believe, they all have something in common - the year 1999. That’s the last year that Senator John Kerry from Massachusetts passed a bill - any bill - into law in the Senate. For the rest of us, not doing our job for NINE YEARS might be a firing offense. In November, we have a chance to hold John Kerry to the same standards we have to abide by ourselves.
Give me a break! This guy (Barack Obama) is now trying to court the Jewish vote by attempting to relate his losing a Congressional race in Chicago to what the people of Israel endure everyday in horrible acts of terrorism. Take this passage:
When I ran against Bobby Rush [for Congress], the perception was that I was Hyde Park, I’m University of Chicago, I’ve got all these Jewish friends. When I started organizing, the two fellow organizers in Chicago were Jews, and I was attacked for associating with them. So I’ve been in the foxhole with my Jewish friends, so when I find on the national level my commitment being questioned, it’s curious. [Emphasis mine]
Really Barack? You enduring some politics by association hardships in your failed candidacy for Congress is comparable to innocent people in Israel being blown apart by savage terrorists? Your inexperience is showing…
On top of this, Barack was widely known in his early days in Chicago to have been associating with radicals on the Palestinian side of the argument and only came around to support Israel when he realized it would be politically advantageous for a future life in politics. (See this article about Barack’s ascent in Chi-Town’s machine politics).
Now, if that wasn’t ridiculous enough, Barack then trains his perceptive foreign policy analytical skills on the current situation in Israel with this earth-shattering, bold observation:
The lack of a resolution to this problem provides an excuse for anti-American militant jihadists to engage in inexcusable actions, and so we have a national-security interest in solving this, and I also believe that Israel has a security interest in solving this because I believe that the status quo is unsustainable. I am absolutely convinced of that[…] [Emphasis mine]
Are you joking?! Is that supposed to be some sort of bold proclamation condemning terrorism - that Israel probably can’t sustain itself if it continues to be bombarded by rocket attacks, suicide bomber, and radical jihadists of all stripes into perpetuity?
That Barack Obama is just now stumbling onto these facts should be very disturbing to anyone interested in national security and foreign policy, its domestic impact, and the impact on allied nations like Israel who is engaged in a fight for their very survival against these monstrous and cowardly terrorists.
