On 4 September 2008 Republican In Name Only John McCain gave a speech in which he accepted the nomination to be the standard bearer of the Republican Party in the 2008 General Election.

The speech was not impressive. But it was inspiring because it revealed and showed what Republican In Name Only John McCain believes and why he believes what he believes. For this he is to be respected.

With this speech Republican In Name Only John McCain joined his running mate Republican Sarah Palin in a new chapter of the Republican Party.

With this new chapter there comes a new beginning for many things.

Including this effort.

Beginning tomorrow this effort will go silent and eventually dark. Beginning tomorrow this effort will begin anew at a new location.

You are invited to this new beginning. You are welcomed to take part in this new beginning. As Sarah Palin and John McCain have demonstrated individually and collectively change for the better is not about hope. It is about action. It is about word and deed. It is about having courage to one's convictions.

All you have to do is take the first step and begin the journey.

The journey begins now. The journey begins here -

28 Sept 2008 update - Many people have visited the new home for this effort and many have expressed interest in being able to voice their opinions there.

For now, please send material you would like to see published there in care of this effort here.

The announcement the 17-year-old daughter of Republican Sarah Palin is pregnant is disheartening. At the same time there is inspiration in her decision to take responsibility for her actions. She is engaged. She will marry. She will raise the child. She acts accordingly.

Her mother has made a life for herself. It is hoped her example will be followed by her daughter.

Howard Dean recently made remarks that were inappropriate and uncalled for.

Howard Dean is white trash. He is unfit to be in public. If the Democratic Party had any self-respect they would send him down.

But they will not do so.

This is the Democratic Party in the 21st Century.

An item of interest to some: Robert Moore, the executive editor The Coloradoan, is a college drop-out.

In other words:

He doesn't finish what he starts.

He's a failure. A bum. A hack.

But because he's a Liberal he thinks he knows what's best for everyone else.

This is the pride and joy of The Coloradoan. This is the pride and joy of the Gannett Corporation.

This is the news media in the 21st Century.

The Reporter-Herald wasted no time in launching a smear campaign against Republican Sarah Palin, the choice for Vice President of the United States of America by Presidential Candidate Republican In Name Only John McCain.

Such things are expected, though, especially from a newspaper that doesn't champion and celebrate hard work and success on an individual level. Such things are expected from a newspaper that condones fraud and plagiarism - and calls such things professional journalism.

This is the news media in the 21st Century.
