You!Tube Republican Debate

Last night's Republican presidential debate in Florida was pure theater. A lot of theatrics and rhetoric but not much substance! Some of the questions were silly: What would Jesus do regarding capital punishment? Do you believe every word in the Bible? When are we going to send someone to Mars? I... Sign in to see full entry.

Will The U.S. Economy Go Into A Recession?

I fervently hope that the above doesn't occur but we have to be realistic regarding the warning signs.

John McCain now believes that we should secure the borders first because this is what the majority of the American people desire and it's a matter of national security as well. As many of my fellow bloggers know, Senator John McCain of Arizona along with Democratic Senator Edward M. Kennedy of... Sign in to see full entry.
