Evidence that Some Blacks Are Not Voting for Obama Based on Issues « Republican Ranting

So, a friend sent me a link to a clip from the Howard Stern show from last Sunday, and I put it into a video (as well as typed up a transcript which is below the video). It’s one of Stern’s radio people, Sal, who goes into Harlem and interviews 3 black people and attributes McCain’s stances to Obama. They say that they agree with those stances (thinking that they are Obama’s).

We’re about a minute out, I’ll be live blogging the whole event. Jim Lehrer (PBS) is the moderator. I’ll be watching CNN (it would be FOX, but they weren’t ready on time).

Disgusting Image: “Happy Twin Towers Day” « Republican Ranting

That first one was what really got me angry, but the second one didn’t really cheer me up either.
This is just disgusting. And then somebody on Daily Kos went on to post it, in a sort of joking way agreeing with the British that we “celebrate” 9/11 too much. Why do the British care if we mourn on 9/11 or not!

A September 11th Tribute: 7 Years, Never Forget « Republican Ranting

Today marks the 7 year anniversary of the September 11th Attacks. Today is a day that affected many Americans, if not all Americans. I can still, to this day tell you exactly where I was when I first heard about it, down to the very spot of the room. And thinking back now brings tears to my eyes, thinking about how many people we lost that day, so many innocent and helpless people.

Analysis of Rudy Giuliani’s Speech at the RNC « Republican Ranting

He’s talking about him supporting John McCain, just like he said he would. “This year, with what’s at stake, 2008 IS the most important election in our lifetime, and we’d better get it right.” A great quote from Giuliani. It’s emphasizing the fact that, sure we say that every year, but this year its actually true.

Mark Warner just entered the stage.
“No American need be left out or left behind.”

Analysis of Michelle Obama’s Speech at the DNC « Republican Ranting

I’ll be live blogging this. I’m watching the video now.
Looking good so far, but not as inspirational as Ted Kennedy’s. “Who names their kid Barack Obama, so this kid has to be weird” - that’s a great quote (sorry if I screwed it up a bit).

Obama Clinches the Nomination; Clinton Open to Being His Running Mate « Republican Ranting

This broke earlier today while I was at work, so my apologies for having it up late.
Although Obama has not formally come out with the ”magic number,” my tallies, as well as CNN’s and the Associated Press’s do confirm that he should go over that mark tonight, if what Obama is reporting in terms of Superdelegate pledges is true, and if what Superdelegates themselves have said is true.

Clinton Calls Rumors of Her Being Obama’s Vice President “Flatly Untrue” « Republican Ranting

Late last week, while apologizing for her comments about Bobby Kennedy, Clinton also addressed rumors that she has been in secret talks with the Obama campaign about her being Obama’s running mate: “It is flatly untrue and it is not anything I’m entertaining. It is nothing I have planned and it is nothing I am prepared to engage in. I am still vigorously campaigning. … I would look to the camp of my opponent for the source of these stories. People have been trying to push me out of this ever since Iowa.”

Conservative Party Death Mayor New York City Politics Republican Rudy Giuliani William Buckley Jr.

I know this is a couple days late, but I just wanted to take some time and honor the great conservative thinker, William F. Buckley Jr.
Since 1955, Buckley has been writing newspaper columns and hosting talk shows.
He had a sense of humor too. In 1965 when he ran for Mayor of New York City under the Conservative party (since any Republican who gets elected there isn’t a true conservative. i.e. Giuliani), he was asked what he would do if he won. His response was, “Demand a recount.”
