Walking A Fine Line

I've made it no secrete whom I support in this presidential election. Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee. But in doing so, as a Conservative, I have to walk a line because I don't agree with everyone of their views. And the ones I don't agree with are some pretty big ones. Giuliani is, I think, the toughest when it comes to fighting terrorism but he's pro-abortion and I'm on board with Huckabee wanting to do away with the IRS and implementing a fair tax but he wants to close Gitmo. Giuliani supports amnesty for illegals and Huckabee doesn't seem to agree with "you're either with us or your with the terrorists". I can hear some now. "Go with Thompson, he's the 'real Conservative'". But his campaign's dead and he's boring. Plus, he's running for VP. I once stated

That's why I plan to write Giuliani's name in if he's not on the ballot. His views and my views on the subject(terrorism) are damn close. There's no one else out there right now that I would vote for.

But, while I still support Giuliani, I'm moving more towards Huckabee as my guy. That's why this blog endorses a Huckabee/Guiliani ticket. I don't agree with either of them 100%, but combined I think they would be good for the country.

John F. Obama?

If you follow politics, and the news, you've no doubt heard the Obama/Kennedy comparisons. He, like Kennedy, is young, energetic and idealistic. People are excited by his desire for change, what ever that means. In other words, like Kennedy, Obama is all style and no substance. And he may very well win in November. I feel sorry for this country if he does. When people wake up one day and find that Mr. Obama is not only the second coming of JFK, but Jimmy Carter as well.

Round 1

Obama and Huckabee win Iowa, which means... absolutely nothing. Remember, George H. Bush won Iowa in '80, Bob Dole and Dick Gephardt won in '88 and Tom Harkin won in 1992 and non of them got the nomination that year. I think the media over hypes and builds this caucus up to be much bigger than it actually is. Gee, imagine that. Just let them run, let us vote and don't try to tell us that one or two states are going to determine who gets the nomination.

The Final Countdown

2008 has finally arrived and we are only a few months away from the big day. People all over have been waiting for this day. I've added an official countdown to the sidebar, if you like to check it out. I can't wait. It is going to be HUGE.

Now That's A Big Shark

A 12-year-old Connecticut boy may be the new Florida state record holder for catching the heaviest bull shark.

Aidan Murray Medley had a spent a half day at sea Tuesday when he reeled in the 551lb bull shark just north of the Palm Beach Inlet.

The seventh-grader was in Palm Beach County on vacation with his family. They plan to submit his catch for a new state record.
Florida wildlife officials say the current record set in 1981 was a 517lb catch at Panama City Beach.

Story

In other news, Rosie O'Donnell, who has been vacationing in Florida, has gone missing. Police have no clues as of yet.
