(June 30) — Surprising many Republican insiders, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is at the top of the vice presidential prospect list for John McCain. But lack of personal chemistry could derail the pick.

“Romney as favorite” is the hot buzz in Republican circles, and top party advisers said the case is compelling.

interesting? Yes.. I think Colin Powell would rock the vote if he would take the position. Wouldn’t that be awesome?

***********

Isn’t that one big bite in the brownie? Did he just tell the whole world off?

I think he did.

Drilling please~ congress…lets get with it!

Ya got to admit that He has beaten one of the best political forces our country has seen in years..the clintons. That in itself is amazing.

We have a new slick Willie.

Here is one of the latest from B.O.s camp:

Barack Obama told a San Francisco-based Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender group on Sunday that he opposes a California ballot measure that would ban same-sex marriage.

really?

the most liberal senator in the country is against the same sex marriage ban?

not suprised, are you?

now he is courting the evangelical group…as McCain has failed again and again to get their votes.

amazing race, isn’t it?

I still don’t care for either

2007 Supreme court opinion…

The legal ruling now regarding a child being raped…the rapist can not be put to death for rape unless the child is killed in the process of said rape.

The children of our Country have just been dealt a crushing blow by the supreme courts ruling. What a shame.

To do so, per the Supreme court constitutes cruel and unusual punishment for the rapist.

Can you even begin to believe that this is an opinion of our Supreme court?

Read before you disbelieve~ These dear liberals in SF actually allowed some ‘young drug dealers’ protection from the Federal Government by placing them in a group home. A group home for selling crack on the street? Then oops..they all escaped?

YES

The 1989 “City of Refuge” ordinance that forbids any city government employee from informing any Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents of illegal immigrants was used to protect these crack dealers.

lovely

Until last month, San Francisco Juvenile Probation Department was in the habit of flying these ‘troubled youths’ back to their country of orgin. At tax payers expense. Reports of approx $7000 a person to send them home. Just so the ICE department can not get hold of them.

Orginally that lovely ordinance was to protect immigrants that were not in any trouble with the law in any way from being sent back home. Of course the fact that they were here illegally was not a legal issue.

Incredible that SF’s Mayor is allowing the courts to put such ppl in to group homes in different counties then where they were picked up and arrested. Send them to a different area to a group home..no security no responsiblity ..just a group home where they can ‘rethink’ the choices they have made.

WHATEVER!

Bad choices on the city’s part is my opinion.

I admit..I loved his humor. I thought how funny when I heard his orginal 5 words that can’t be said on Tv bit routine. Forever now those filty words are stuck in my head.

even more so, when I heard of his death yesterday, I knew George found out how wrong he had been all his life. He studied, he was smart, talked about problems we all have had in a funny way.  But he was so wrong about Jesus Christ.

What do I mean?

Recently “The Truth” project has been making the rounds at churches and meetings in the Christian arena. The Truth, which is Jesus Christ. Our Foundation.

What frustrates me so much today is that our friends in Christ, fellow believers; who appear no different than the world in their values.

Amazes me..and frustrates me!

We teach and preach God’s truth..then have a tough time trying to find christians following that.

Walking the walk after our big mouths are talking the talk.

Guilty? Yes I am guilty of this ~

just frustrated today ..watching a few situations and the reactions.

God’s blessings to You..be standing on His foundation, which is the Way, the Truth and the Life. His name is Jesus.

Recent article that I thought worthy of Your time ~

Forget cryopreservation – hot and dry conditions might be all you need to awake far into the future. A date palm seed some 2000 years old – preserved by nothing more than storage in hot and dry conditions – has germinated, making it the oldest seed in the world to do so.

The ancient seed was found along with several others in the 1960s in the Masada fortress on the edge of the Dead Sea in Israel. Recently, three were planted in soil and one germinated.

To determine their age, an Israeli and Swiss team carbon dated the two dud seeds and found them to be approximately 2000 years old – making them possible contemporaries of Jesus.

When the germinated date was 15 months old, the researchers moved it to a new pot and retrieved fragments of the seed shell so they too could be carbon dated.

In the beginning, God created heaven and Earth, and he saw that it was good. So begins the Book of Genesis, the dramatic opener of the Old Testament.

But things went downhill from there.

God’s wrath seems at work these days, as the heavens and Earth have unleashed earthquakes in China, a cyclone in Burma, killer tornadoes and record floods across the U.S. and even a plague of locusts (cicadas) in New England.

In Cedar Rapids, Iowa today, floodwaters forced the evacuation of a downtown hospital after residents of more than 3,000 homes fled for higher ground. A railroad bridge collapsed, and 100 city blocks were underwater.
