McCain moving more and more towards the left of the party...

Instead of taking heed...and doing what he can to embrace the conservatives of the party, McCain continues to move towards the left. Arnold's endorsement, in my mind, only validates the fact that McCain is nothing more than a RINO - Liberal in disguise!

You know, what thing that so many Republican's say is..."well he'll be strong on the war on terror"...yea, well let's not forget that it is McCAIN that calls for the closing of Gitmo and the transfer of the caputured terrorists to the United States. Let's also not forget that he has stood on the side of the Liberals regarding our interogation methods, he "opposes" water boarding. In addition, he spoke out against President Bush's wiretapping program and the list could go on and on...so much for being "tough" on the war on terror.

Mitt's impressive speech to his Florida supporters!

Check it out and then tell me that he should NOT be our candidate, based on conservative values and beliefs!

For those who prefer it...here is the text of his speech...personally, I thought it was exceptional and is just what we need to hear these days!

"Almost, but not quite. You guys are my heroes. You took this campaign from nowhere to the very top tier. You worked your hearts our and you made me a contender and for that, Ann and I and our family will be forever grateful. Thank you so very much.

"Now, I just got off the phone with Senator McCain, and I offered him my congratulations. I'm sure that you are excited here this evening, but a little disappointed as well, and my guess is when you left your home this evening, you put a son or a daughter to bed, and probably that's happening across the country. Moms and dads are putting kids to bed, or they already have, and they're sleeping peacefully. They're probably a bit like my grandkids, full of big dreams and plans, excited by every tomorrow.

"I remember when I was growing up, I always knew that America was the greatest nation on Earth: first nation on the Moon, our cars and movies and technology were the envy of the entire world, and freedom and opportunity was just like the air, it was everywhere I went. I believed there was nothing I couldn't do, and I knew there was nothing that America couldn't do because we led the world.

"Now, America's leadership didn't come without cost. It was won by the Greatest Generation in the history of the world. They defeated fascism, and they built the world's strongest economy. My Mom and Dad are gone as maybe yours are as well. What they and their generation left us is the greatest nation in the history of the entire planet.

"And now it's our turn. What kind of nation will we leave our children and our grandchildren? We can leave future generations a nation that's even greater than that which we inherited, but to do that, we're going to have to overcome a new generation of challenges.

"Our world is under attack from violent radical Jihadists.

"Our jobs are being sought by new competitors, countries like Asia and India.

"And here at home, our government is spending too much. We're using too much oil. Our health care system leaves a lot of people behind. And our schools are failing way too many. Even our values are under attack.

"We looked to Washington for leadership, but Washington has failed us.

"We've asked them to fix illegal immigration. They haven't.

"We've asked them to get the tax burden off our families and businesses. They haven't.

"We asked them to end our dependence on foreign oil. They haven't.

"We asked them to maintain high ethical standards. They haven't.

"We asked them to fix Social Security. They haven't.

"We asked them to stop spending money on pork barrel projects. We asked them to balance our budget. They haven't.

"We asked them time and time and time again, and they just haven't gotten the job done.

"You see, Washington is fundamentally broken, and we're not going to change Washington by sending the same people back just to sit in different chairs. I think it's time for the politicians to leave Washington and for the citizens to take over.

"It is time for a change in Washington, and here's some of the things we're going to do. First, we're going to strengthen our families. We'll make sure that every citizen in our country has affordable health insurance that they can't lose – private, free-market insurance, not socialized medicine, not Hillary-care. We'll make sure our kids have great schools. We'll treat teachers like the professionals they are, and we'll put our kids first and the unions behind. And to build strong families, we'll teach our kids that before they have babies, they should get married. So we'll strengthen our families.

"And we'll strengthen our military. We need more troops. We need better funding. We need better equipment. And we need better care for our veterans. Let's point out to all those who criticized President Bush that it's thanks to him that we've been safe these last six years. So strengthen our families and strengthen our military.

"And finally, we need to strengthen our economy. I spent my entire life in the real economy. I know why jobs come. I know why they go. I've been doing business in 20 countries around the world. I've run small business and large business. The economy is in my DNA.

"Many of the people across our country are worried about their retirement accounts. They wonder if they can pay for the college education of their child. They see their largest asset, their home value, dropping. Some wonder if their job is going to be secure in a new global economy. Americans wonder how they can afford the rising cost of health care, and gasoline, and taxes. These are real challenges.

"At a time like this, America needs a President in the White House who has actually had a job in the real economy. You see at a time like this, knowing how America works is more important than knowing how Washington works. The Democrats think that America's greatness flows from our government. They're wrong. The source of America's greatness is the American people – hard-working, innovative, risk-taking, family oriented, God-fearing, freedom-loving American people have always been the source of America's greatness, and they always will be. And so the right course for America isn't to strengthen our government, but to strengthen our people. And to do that, we're going to have to change Washington, and change will begin with us.

"This presidential election in November of '08 is not about yesterday, it's about tomorrow. It's not about re-fighting the battles of the past. It's about winning the future for our children and their children and for America. When you go home tonight, and you go and kiss your son or your daughter before you go to sleep, you can promise them that this generation will meet the challenges of our time. That we'll leave them a stronger America, and you can tell them to dream big because for the children of America, every dream will be possible."

Current Choice for President

Obviously, it's been a while since we have updated or posted anything new...in that time a great deal has taken place, personally, as well as in the political world.

I'll start with the political world; several primaries have taken place and unfortunately, Duncan Hunter, stellar candidate that he was, was not able to gather much momentum and has "officially" dropped out of the race. We are very sad to see him go, as he certainly had a great deal of potential and our nation would have been blessed to have him as President. He has a great deal of work to continue and much more legislation to fight for, before retiring his congressional seat, hopefully, handing it over to his son Duncan D. Hunter.

In the meantime, we still have primary elections before us...this is no time to just give in and allow the media to "pick" our final candidate. As such, we have decided after a great deal of deliberation and discussion to stand up and support loudly...Mitt Romney



Some of our reasons for choosing Mitt over the other candidates, such as John McCain, are listed below...to the right of the blog.

As for my personal world...I have been to Chicago and back again and I have to say tha I have a great deal of promise for a wonderful future with a wonderful man! Thanks be to God...as I have said for years...all good things come in His time! =)
