Newsmax.com – Pollster: Media Polls Biased Against Republicans

Another reason not to give up on McCain-Palin....

Newsmax.com – Pollster: Media Polls Biased Against Republicans: "Political polls conducted for most media organizations often are biased against Republicans, says Kellyanne Conway, one of the most respected GOP pollsters. As a result, Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain probably is exaggerated and is contributing unfairly to his momentum, says Conway, president and founder of the Polling Company."

In other words, if you're a McCain-Palin supporter but decide to give into despair and stay home on election day, shame on you! Now, more than ever, you cannot allow the media, or anyone else discourage you. Too much is at stake for you to sulk and do nothing on election day. Basically, nothing is new; the general media has always been biased to the left and used skewed polls to try to discourage conservatives into staying home. If Obama wins because you were one of those gloom and doom non-voting conservatives, then you'll have no one to blame but yourselves when our economy and our security goes haywire.

Colin Powell's Endorsement of Barack Hussein Obama

Colin Powell Endorses Obama: "'I come to the conclusion that because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities -- and you have to take that into account -- as well as his substance -- he has both style and substance,' Powell said. 'He has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president.'"

The ability to inspire is the benchmark of an exceptional president??? Today's Republican Party is too far right for Colin Powell? First of all, if Colin Powell has truly known John McCain for the last 25 years, then he would know that McCain is definitely not the most conservative Republican in Washington. Although overall, Senator McCain's voting record has been relatively conservative, his support for embryonic stem cell research, campaign finance reform, and immigration reform has put him at odds with right-wing conservative Republicans, including myself. However, as much as it pains me to say this, there is a flip side to McCain's bad choices. John McCain is the only candidate who is willing to risk his political career to reach across the aisle to the other party. This shows that John McCain places personal conviction, right or wrong, over his career. Where is the tangible evidence of Obama ever taking such risk?(Obama On His Reach-Across-The-Aisle Record - Marc Ambinder); therefore, it is an absolute oxymoron for Colin Powell to apply the quality of "reaching out in a more diverse, inclusive way" to Obama, rather than John McCain. On a side note, if the current Republican ticket is too far right for Colin Powell, does this make Joe Lieberman (an Independent-Democrat and McCain-Palin endorser) a Republican?

Colin Powell should also understand McCain's logic in selecting Sarah Palin. McCain knows that the only chance he has is by selecting a running mate who is a Pro-life conservative. Anything less would have alienated most of the right-wing conservatives, whose support he desperately needs if he is to have any chance of becoming the next president.

Don't get me wrong; although I have some concerns with some of McCain's previous bad decisions, he is still the right candidate to lead this country out of it's current economic distress and keep us safe from those that want to see America destroyed. However, if all you care about is personality, style, and inspiration, why bother with Obama? How about someone like Oprah? After all, Oprah is a great listener and supposedly 'people just love her'. Even better yet, how about Joel Osteen? He has no experience, just like Obama. Joel is kind of like a community organizer, just like Obama, since he runs a huge "I'm OK, You're OK" type of church. But Joel Osteen has one quality over Obama; there is no one in this world who can preach a 'cotton-candy' feel-good message like Joel. As much as I am unable to stomach Joel Osteen's frosted flake sermons, I would have to agree that Joel Osteen is more inspirational than Obama. But on the other hand, Obama is a quick study. I am quite sure that just as Joel preaches his feel-good/no-judgment/no-responsibility/all inclusive message to his congregation, likewise Obama will apply the same principles and use his superb toastmaster skills to spread his feel good message to the world so that we'll all be happy, the economy will spring like a blooming desert, the Muslims will love America, and we can all sing Kumbaya...YEAH RIGHT!!!

John McCain & Sarah Palin - Sean Hannity Interview

"Senator John McCain and Sarah Palin sit down for an interview with Sean Hannity to discuss the townhall presidential debate performance of John McCain and Barack Obama, as well as Barack Obama and Joe Biden and their stance on issues versus the McCain/Palin team. Part 1"

Sarah "Barracuda" Palin Goes for the Kill

Newsmax.com – Palin Criticizes Obama's Ties to Wright, Ayers: "Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is criticizing Barack Obama's ties to his incendiary former pastor and a 1960s-era radical."

I know that I have previously criticized Sarah Palin for her support of Israel/Palestine's two-state solution. But, aside from that issue, I strongly believe that Sarah embodies the hope of the Republican Party. There are a few others that fit this category, such as Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal; but he's not running for the second highest office in the United States and is not yet in a position to affect national policies.

It is refreshing to see a new-comer to national politics (but highly qualified in the executive responsibilities) who is not only unafraid to speak the truth but is completely straight with the people on where she stands. Only if John McCain had Sarah's verbal tenacity to go after Obama in the same manner. It is John who needs to desperately improve his debating skills and needs to take a crash course from Sarah. I know that Sarah has charisma and natural talent on her side, but anyone can always improve.

I don't remember who said this, but a pundit on the Foxnews channel stated that Sarah did a better job of explaining McCain's policies better than John McCain did during the debates. I hope and pray for a dramatic and miraculous improvement on John McCain's debating skills. As talented as Sarah is, she's not the one that has to face Obama in tomorrow's debate.

Sarah Palin Dead Wrong on Israel

I write this blog entry with hesitation and sadness because I am a supporter of Sarah Palin. I do believe that she has the interests of the American people on her mind. In the VP debate, Sarah did a wonderful job putting Joe Biden on defense and clearly and passionately stated the issues that represents most of America. However, there is one issue stated by Sarah that I cannot allow to quietly slip by. Her policy and support for the two-state solution is downright dangerous for both Israel and America.

Here is the unfortunate statement made by Sarah Palin during the VP debate:

Transcript of Palin, Biden debate - CNN.com: "PALIN: A two-state solution is the solution. And Secretary Rice, having recently met with leaders on one side or the other there, also, still in these waning days of the Bush administration, trying to forge that peace, and that needs to be done, and that will be top of an agenda item, also, under a McCain-Palin administration.

Israel is our strongest and best ally in the Middle East. We have got to assure them that we will never allow a second Holocaust, despite, again, warnings from Iran and any other country that would seek to destroy Israel, that that is what they would like to see.

We will support Israel. A two-state solution, building our embassy, also, in Jerusalem, those things that we look forward to being able to accomplish, with this peace-seeking nation, and they have a track record of being able to forge these peace agreements.

They succeeded with Jordan. They succeeded with Egypt. I'm sure that we're going to see more success there, also.

It's got to be a commitment of the United States of America, though. And I can promise you, in a McCain-Palin administration, that commitment is there to work with our friends in Israel."

NO! NO! NO! A two-state solution is NO solution. Let's say, theoretically, you are able to get the neighboring/occupying Arabs (or whom we affectionately refer to as the "Palestinians") to actually agree to a two-state solution; based on their adherence to the Islamic practices of Hudna, the resulting peace would be temporary. Within Islamic practices, Hudna is a form of a temporary peace/cease-fire which allows the Islamic terrorists time to build up their manpower/arsenal until such time they decide to attack their enemy, deceived by the false sense of security. Therefore, in this particular situation, as their Israeli neighbors are enjoying the temporary "cease-fire", the Palestinians would be taking advantage of the time to prepare for a future attack against Israel. It totally goes against the belief/philosophy of the Arabs/Palestinians to allow Israel (whom they identify as infidels) to continue to exist, unless they convert to Islam.

On another note, the land that the Palestinians want as their state is the land that God gave to the Israelites several thousands of years ago. Sarah Palin should know this and she should know the consequences of taking away the God-given lands from Israel. Sarah Palin is an Evangelical Christian and was formerly associated with the Assemblies of God, strongly pro-Israel. Granted that she moved to a different church/denomination, the Wasilla Bible Church, but this church is also a biblical based church. It is known that because of how she has grown in her faith within these churches, Sarah Palin is pro-Israel and sincerely wants to protect and defend the country and her people.

I don't know if Sarah lacks the understanding of the depth of providence of the country of Israel or what the scriptures warn about dividing Israel, but I hope that someone, very soon, talks to her about the anti-biblical nature of the two-state solution. I certainly hope that John McCain does not share this view, along with the desire to continue with Bush's two-state, Israeli "peace" process.

It would be highly beneficial if Mike Huckabee spoke to Sarah about the errors of her statements. Mike knows the truth and articulately stated his position to WorldNetDaily:

Huckabee: Let Palestinians create country 'elsewhere': "'Israel is surrounded by nations in various states of war with the Jewish state. Because of the limited footprint of real estate they have, it's not practical for Israel to give up any land. The two-state solution is no solution, but will cause only problems,' said Huckabee..."..."'There is only one place on earth where the Jewish people could have a homeland that is consistent with their roots, whereas the Palestinians can create their homeland in many other places in the Middle East, outside Israel,' he said."

Another good idea is for Sarah Palin to read a book by White House Correspondent, Bill Koening called, "Eye to Eye: Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel", which goes into extensive detail the consequences that has afflicted the United States as a result of President Bush's and other past presidents', role in the two-state solution.

I hope and pray that Sarah Palin has the humility to admit that she was wrong about the two-state solution and that she learns the truth.
