McCain Rally and Talon's Birthday

We hosted an actual registered McCain Rally at our home for the first of the PresidentialDebates. It was a private party with two other families...both Coopers.

It so happened that it fell on Talon's birthday. We'd been storing a pinata for several months waiting for an opportunity to use it so thought this would be the perfect reason. My batteries were on their last leg and the kids had waited long enough so I didn't get the greatest pictures but here are the most important ones...the birthday boy and then the mighty girl who busted it open.

Meet the Press

Apparently I haven't seen a photo of the press in a while. So when I came across this photo on McCain Bloggette I found it pretty hilarious. The press has traded their little spiral bound notebooks in for laptops. In today's high-tech world this should not have surprised me one bit and I am pretty sure I am slow on the draw but it still amuses me.

Why Your Vote Counts

I have one question for all conservatives. As much as we might disagree on some things with McCain, do we really think he would go THIS far on pushing his views? (following article taken from here.) Read my statement on my side bar for why I think it is imperative that we get out and vote no matter what!!

"Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, does not think marching in a so-called "gay-pride parade" is a proper venue for the president of the United States.

However, one presidential candidate has made a pledge to do just that – Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York). She says that Clinton made her pledge in the Washington Blade – a Washington newspaper serving the homosexual community. "...Really now! We've seen these gay pride parades in San Francisco and elsewhere," exclaims Donnelly. "Is this really an appropriate role for the President or the Commander in Chief of our armed forces? I don't think so..."

According to Donnelly, there is virtually no difference between Clinton and Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois) when it comes to advancing the gay and lesbian agenda. Obama recently wrote an open letter to the homosexual community pledging to end the ban on open homosexuals serving in the military, as well as repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.

Donnelly says both Clinton and Obama would force the homosexual agenda on American citizens by force of law."

Politics and God

Fellow blogger, Julie Gurney, has a post on her blog that really hit home with me. It's all I want to say but didn't have the right words. Click here to see what she had to say. I really like her word picture.
