A couple of weeks ago I posted a series of comments made by Republican commentators and politicians questioning John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin for his running mate. While both Republicans and non-Repulbicans have been questioning Palin’s qualifications, when it comes to McCain they are primarily concerned about his volatile temper and his lack of impulse control, as the comments below (all made by conservatives) verify.
"His temper would place this country at risk in international affairs, and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, it should disqualify him." Former New Hampshire Republican Senator Bob Smith.
"John has made a pact with the devil," says Lincoln Chafee, the former GOP senator, who has been appalled at his one-time colleague’s readiness to sacrifice principle for power. Chafee and McCain were the only Republicans to vote against the Bush tax cuts. They locked arms in opposition to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And t...

Since my state is a lock for McCain I have the luxury of voting third party. However I will admit that if I lived in a swing state I’d have voted for McCain solely to help preserve divided government. Although if the GOP had control of ( and was expected to keep control of) either the house or the Senate I’d have probably voted for Obama.... more

Math is fun .
If you go through and add it up, leaving aside Minnesota's undecided 1.7 percent for now, only about 49.8 percent of the nearly 306 million people in the United States live in a state where there's even one Republican Senator. Only 24.4 percent live in a state where both seats are held by Republicans.
Taken from the other direction, 48.5 percent of the country's citizenry lives in states where the electorate wants to see only Democrats or Democratic-leaning in... more

Just caught this item on politico.com about Republican Governor Crist of Florida extending early voting hours to the dismay of some of his fellow Republicans. Dismay that more people will find it easier to vote in this historic election? I think Governor Crist got it right when he said: "This is not a political decision. This is a people decision."

Pat Powers is hanging it up:
Starting on Saturday, I’m taking a hiatus from blogging. Like many Republicans I’ve talked to in the past few days, we’re coming off of this cycle feeling the need for some soul searching.
How can Pat Powers do "soul searching" when he continous to blame others:
Over the past few elections, The GOP’s unity has become badly fractured. It started subtly when Stan Adelstein threw out cash to the people he wanted... more

1. I watched PBS’s full coverage of the Democratic National Convention like others watched the Olympics (which I didn’t).
2. I don’t watch sports either, but watched Sheryl Crow , Stevie Wonder , and Michael McDonald sing at the DNC like others watch the Super Bowl at halftime.
3. I’m a registered Independent, fiscally conservative, who votes Democrat because they represent my interests in Labor Rights, Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, and Environmental Protections ... more
I’ve always respected John McCain. Although I understand that campaigning candidates tend to adapt their talking points to please their base of support, my respect for McCain wavered as he flip flopped on issues during the presidential nomination campaign.
I don’t agree with McCain on many issues, but I was pleased to see at the RNC that more of the pre-campaign John McCain emerged. I appreciated that both he and Obama spoke respectfully of each other as opponents during their conven... more

1. I like to keep at least one toy in my pocketbook. For some reason it makes me feel prepared.
2. Working my laptop touch pad is like eating noodles with chopsticks. I’d rather use a fork and mouse.
3. I feel like THIS more and more often. It’s worth a whole listen.
4. I thought I recognized THAT guy. I used to have a crush on him and heard him sing at the South Shore Music Circus in the 70’s. Here’s a BEFORE and AFTER video of him and THIS one, dedicated to... more
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don’t seem the same
Actin funny, but I don’t know why
scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
Don’t know if I’m comin’ up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
What ever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Purple haze all in my eyes
Don’t know if its day or night
You got me blowin, blowin my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?
