I was very sorry to hear of such a bedrock of conservatism as Jack Kemp passing away.

I first met Jack Kemp during the Dole campaign at a rally in Orlando at Church Street Station in 1996. Above is a momentum of the time.

The last I met him was during the McCain campaign last October. He was doing a bus tour with radio legend, Pat Summerall. Below are photos of his stop at our McCain H.Q. in Ocala, Florida.

Here he is with Congressman Cliff Stearns.

Mr. Kemp spent time with the head of our Marion County McCain Campaign, Angie Boynton.

Here Mr. Kemp is with our MArion County State Republican Committeewoman, Margariette Cavenaugh.

Ken Culotta wrote this one and really nails the travails McCain went through just through his days in the military. Someone who went through just this is ready to fight for anything. Obama only wishes he had been in any part of the military for any amount of time…or does he…?

I sure admit McCain is hard to draw. I was going for a more realisitic look considering the more somber tone of the message. He is tough…even to draw.

A friend wrote to me about the difference of college between these two. The educational list ignores the uses of the education. Though McCain did poorly in the Naval Academy, he’s spent the decades since as a distinguished bi-partisan member of Congress. Obama, nearly a career student, jumped from finishing college in his 30s to being a paid community volunteer.  Then basically job hopping in politics for a few years before somehow getting in his head that he was qualified to run for President. Shows what a good talker can do in ten years from college to Senator. Makes me also concerned what Billy Mays is planning. At least Billy Mays has a track record you can follow!

This infuriates me! Obama knows his strengths and doesn’t want to leave his beloved bully pulpit to actual be a leader, something he hasn’t bothered to prove to this point. Whether he likes it or not, he is a Senator. He represents a part of Illinois. Out country is making one of it’s greatest decisions in it’s history. If I find out my representatives in Washington aren’t there looking after my interests, I want them out of office. I knew McCain would want to get into the midst of this and am grateful he did.

I’m against a bailout. But I better see my representatives doing something up there in Washington whether it be for or against a bailout!

Taylor and Jacob haven’t made an appearance in awhile. Here they return figuring out their real estate holdings.

I’ve attacked Miss (ms. just doesn’t sound right) Hilton many, many times. Here I’ll give her a big thumbs up! The few minute film made of her thinking she’s running for President is the best of the political commercials I’ve seen yet. I don’t care for the bad language or the bathing suit thing, but I also can’t ignore some very creative and quick thinking here. McCain and Obama should look to hire whoever came up with this, including Ms. Hilton. Bravo!
