Campaign Ad for John McCain

Three 5:4 decisions by the Supreme Court in the last two weeks perfectly delineate the choice facing American voters between John McCain and Barack Hussein Obama. The first decision gave foreign terrorists the same legal rights as U.S. citizens. The second overturned the death penalty for child rapists. The third upheld the Second Amendment right of individuals to own and bear arms.

In the next few years, three of the most liberal Supreme Court judges are expected to retire: Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Anthony Kennedy, and David Souter. Thus, the next President will determine decisively the liberal or conservative tilt of the Supreme Court for many years to come. Obama, the most liberal Senator in the U.S. Senate, will appoint Supreme Court justices in the tradition of Ginsburg, Kennedy, and Souter who love to legislate from the bench. McCain has promised to appoint "strict Constructionists," judges who interpret legislation in light of the Constitution, like Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia, and Clarence Thomas.

John McCain should use the following ad in his campaign against Barack Hussein Obama:

Do you want a Supreme Court who favors terrorists and child rapists? Then vote for Barack Hussein Obama. If, instead, you want a Supreme Court who upholds your Second Amendment rights and protects innocent children, then vote for John McCain.

Hillary Rodham Clinton's Defeat: Sad Day for Women

I just sent a message on Hillary's website asking her to take her fight to the convention, if at all possible. I watched every minute of Saturday's coverage of the Rules Committee meeting. I was appalled at the outcome. As a Floridian, it did not sit well that we are only worth half a vote. A lot of people here are talking about that. Gosh, under the original Constitution (Article 1, Section 3) our founding fathers counted women and slaves as three/fifths of a person for apportioning Congress. It's hard to believe that the Democratic Party of 2008 would be so regressive as to give certain citizens less representation than they had in 1788, 240 years earlier.

It upsets and saddens me, as a woman, that we are not yet ready for a woman as President. I find it unbelievable that any party would choose such an inexperienced man as Barack Obama over an accomplished woman to lead the U.S. Although it is highly unlikely I would have voted for Hillary in the Fall election, I would have considered it. I am no fan of John McCain. But there is no way -- not a snowball's chance in hell -- that I would ever vote for Barack Obama, even if Hillary is on the ticket for Vice President. He is far too radically left in his voting record and, with no real accomplishments, too inexperienced. It offends me that he and the media were successful in their race-baiting and latent sexism. I fear that if Obama is elected, we can kiss America good-by. Thus, I closed my message to Hillary with "God bless you and God Save the U.S.A."
