The problem with politics...

Amanda Carpenter reports on research some are doing on Joe Biden's grandson, and whether he was conceived "out of wedlock", as they say.

My two cents:
I think this is getting completely out of control. We as conservatives have absolutely no moral authority complaining about the intrusive coverage of Sarah Palin's family if we do the same thing to Joe Biden. I thought it was wrong when they did it to Governor Palin, and it's wrong to do it to Senator Biden.

One of the things that causes me to be a conservative is that I really do believe there is a moral code you should govern yourself by. And to dig into Joe Biden's grandson's state of birth (he was born in 1993, so he's 15 now) is just wrong.

I think this is great - schools are a good thing to spend stimulus money on. But...then his train goes off the tracks... He wants to make the main thrust of the request that we will build a "green school"...now, I'm not opposed to doing responsible things to care for the environment, but I'm guessing doing extra stuff out of the ordinary, would make it much more expensive. With our economy the way it is, I just think that the people in charge of giving the money out are going to look at what can be done in a state, and how cost-effectively it can be done. If Oregon wants $5 million (I'm just making these numbers up) for a school to teach 1000 students, and Arizona will build a school, with the same facilities, same everything else, except they can do it for $3 million becuase it isn't a "green" school, and that m...

John McCain and George H.W. Bush...Separated at Birth?

...have you noticed the similarities (I know they're not identical) between the candidacies of John McCain and George H.W. Bush? Both men: were decorated military veterans had lost nomination fights in the past had extensiive foreign policy resumes criticized for being less interested in domestic politics criticized for being a moderate, not being conservative enough. True enough...McCain and George HW...seperated at birth.

Some interesting facts about Georgia

Always eager to educate as well as persuade, Oregon Elephant has dug up the following interesting facts about Georgia: The highest point in Georgia is Mount Shkhara (5,201 m). It is known that people inhabited Georgia from very early times. Skulls of early man have been found in the country dating back 1.7 million years. People have lived in Tbilisi since the fourth millennium BC. The name of the present-day capital, Tbilisi, is derived from the Georgian word for warm. In Greek and Roman times the western part of Georgia was called Kolkheti (Colchis); the eastern part of the country was known as Iberia. Ancient myth says that the King of Colchis (Aeetes) possessed a Golden Fleece. The story of Jason and the Argonauts is about the quest for the fleece. Early Georgian merchants sailed as far as the Indian Ocean to trade their goods and bring back spices. The Silk Road, the trade route between Europe and China , ran through Phazisi. St Nino of Cappadoccia, a relative of St George, conv...
