President Bush to Deliver Commencement

President Bush has certainly taken lots of knocks during his tenure. Much of the negativity comes from the extreme left because they don't understand his belief system. Some comes from the right because they have felt that he often gave into the left. In many ways, that put him at the center.

There are in this country, still many people who are proud to call him their President. The areas of the country that continue to hold conservative values still support him. I am one of those who is proud to say the he is still my President (at least for a few more weeks) and I am proud that he will deliver the Commencement Address at my alma mater.

Fred Thompson's Thoughts on the Election

Fred Thompson shares some thoughts on the election in the link below:

Discernment

discernment - 1 : the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure
(Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary)

"They are a nation without sense, there is no discernment in them." __Deuteronomy 32:28

How do you know when someone is lying? How can you cut through the fog and see what lies beneath the words? When listening to a skilled liar, the only way to know is through the gift of discernment. It is a gift. Not everyone has it. It is something for which one should pray. It is desperately needed by each and every voter in the upcoming election.


"Arrogant lips are unsuited to a fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler!" __Proverbs 17:7

Get Out the Military Vote

U.S. Senator John Cornyn has developed a new website to help our military to be able to vote in the upcoming Presidential election. It is a portal to important information and critical dates to ensure that their vote will count. Please get the word out to any military personnel that may have questions about their voting rights. It can be accessed at www.texasmilitaryvote.com.

Thompson Out

Thompson drops out of GOP presidential race

Fred Thompson is Our Best Chance

The Right is abuzz
All because
They didn't like Fred's choice
To manage the race.

I think if they look
They'll see he threw out the book
And he's running his own
Campaign.

If you consider that Fred
Is already ahead
And hasn't yet
Even declared

And how the left wing
Has started to sing
All the sins of his past
On the air

You might stop and think,
"Would they raise all this stink
If they didn't think he
Was a threat?"

The left-leaning press
Just stirs up the mess
In an effort to
Split up the right.

They press all the hot spots
Tryin' to tie up in knots
The strength of Fred's
Fast growing base.

We should give it some time,
It will all work out fine
For our candidate's
Shrewd like a fox.

He's got the appeal
That can seal up the deal
If we'll trust him
To do what is right.

I know that's a bit tough
Because we've all had enough
Of the Washington
Inside elite.

If we want him to win
We'll just have to give in
And let him do this
His own way.

He's the best that we've got
Because a Democrat is not
Who we want to win
The big race.

Fred has the best chance
Of leading the dance
For a Republican
Victory in oh-eight!

_____________

Fred, if you or your staff happen to see this, you ought to give serious consideration to Kay Bailey Hutchinson as a running mate!

Stalemate

Congress has come to a standstill
And that's a good thing for us.
'Cause if they can't pass any bills
There will be less for us to cuss.

If they can maintain the status quo
In which nothing ever gets passed,
We the people might soon decide
That we don't feel quite so harassed

And will grant a more favorable rating.
They don't seem to get the message
That the best thing to do is nothing.
Instead of trying for passage

Of bills we the people deplore.
If by some quirk of the numbers
A bill makes it to the President
He might just make use of his powers

And veto it. And that is to our advantage.
So, as we look toward the next election date
For the office of President we need to consider
Our best result might be to maintain the stalemate.

Out of the Woodwork

It's coming together...

George P. Bush, a nephew of President Bush, has contributed to the prospective presidential campaign of Fred Thompson and signed an e-mail asking friends and associates to do the same, The Politico has learned.

______________________________________

The tide is turning
And the people yearning
For our man Fred
To shake his head
And accept the run
Which won't be fun
But is his fate
In oh-eight!

______________________________

Perhaps the real question should be: Is bad poetry better than none?

______________________________

Let's try again...

The people are grumbling
That we need a leader
To come to the head of the pack.
They're sick of hearing
The same double-dealing
From the candidates out on the track.
It's time for Fred Thompson
To make it official
By announcing his bid for the race.
Based on the level
Of what he's against
He'll surely start in first place.

Excerpt: Prepared Remarks for Speech to Lincoln Club Annual Dinner

I hope he's as straight a shooter as his speeches make him appear to be.

Run Fred -- I Think...

The more that I read about him the more I like him. The following is an interesting article about him -- you'll need to follow the link --



WASHINGTON — He’s a presidential player cut from Hollywood cloth, but is Fred Thompson more than a stuffed shirt?
Past colleagues and Tennessee supporters think so, but some political analysts say the former senator has more to prove if he’s serious about running for president in 2008.
"I think his support right now might be a mile wide but an inch deep," said political science professor Sean Evans of .....
