There's an inspirational story here on his official website . From LifeSite News today: Interview with Film Star Eduardo Verastegui about His McCain Endorsement: Eduardo Verastegui, producer and lead actor of the 2007 American film Bella, met with Senator John McCain on October 17 in Miami, where they discussed the human rights at stake in this presidential election. Now Verastegui is using his star power – and more – to help McCain and Governor Sarah Palin win the votes of Latinos. Verastegui said, “I am endorsing Sen. McCain for president because of his commitments to end abortion, protect traditional marriage and fix immigration law." On Gov. Palin’s leadership, he said, “I love her. She’s a great role model for women.” Verastegui has spoken at several McCain-Palin rallies. In Miami, the capital of Latin America and the first U.S. city where Verastegui lived, he campaigned for John McCain with McCain’s Senate allies Joe Lieberman and Mel Martinez, as well as Florida’s forme...

VP Candidates Spar on Foreign Policy, Economy Sarah Palin accused the Democratic ticket of waving a "white flag of surrender in Iraq," while Joe Biden accused John McCain of being wrong on war policy from the beginning, as the vice presidential candidates faced off for their only debate in St. Louis Thursday night. (Fox News) Here's an excerpt from the debate: My Thoughts: I watched the entire debate between Palin and Biden tonight and here are my impressions: 1. I was impressed that neither one of them made any errors in their presentation. Biden managed to control his speech and Palin did not come across as being unprepared. 2. Both did well in backing up their Presidential candidates -- Biden shared Obama's lies; Sarah shared the truth about McCain. 3. Sarah Palin seemed a little nervous initially, but held her own. She gained confidence as the debate went on and took command. She came across as very intelligent and knowledgeable. Sarah was positive, energetic, and...

An Iraq Veteran has a personal message for Barack Obama

Fred Thompson's speech at the Republican National Convention endorsing McCain and Palin was moving, powerful, and amazing! He described in detail John McCain's military background, and his Prisoner of War Record. “John McCain’s bones may have been broken but his spirit never was. Now, being a POW certainly doesn’t qualify anyone to be president. But it does reveal character. This is the kind of character that civilizations from the beginning of our history have sought in their leaders --that’s character you can believe in.” He really hit the nail on the head when describing Obama. About 24 minutes into the speech he made my favorite quote of the night : “ We need a president who doesn’t think that the protection of the unborn or a newly born baby is above his pay grade ." Here's some more great quotes excerpted from his speech: “What a breath of fresh air Governor Sarah Palin is. She is from a small town, with small town values, but apparently that’s not good enough f...

Santorum alleges Sen. McCain unreliable on pro-life issues Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum has attacked Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain of Arizona for hindering social conservative issues, arguing that McCain is a poor choice to lead the effort to overturn Roe v. Wade. Speaking to radio host Mark Levine on Levine’s Thursday night radio show, Senator Santorum cited Senator McCain’s compromises in congressional debates about Supreme Court nominations as evidence the Arizona politician was not a strong pro-life candidate. Santorum, who is now a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, said of McCain, “this is not a guy who would give me a lot of confidence that he would appoint the judges who are necessary on the court to overturn Roe v. Wade, who would be strict constructionist judges.” McCain’s largely pro-life record, Santorum claimed, concealed other problems, such as McCain’s support for embryonic stem cell research and his vote against a Federa...

I HEAR THAT SENS. OBAMA AND MCCAIN HAVE WEIGHED IN WITH THEIR OPINION THAT THE LIVES OF OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN HAVE BEEN "WASTED" IN THE WAR ON TERROR. I AM NOW WAITING FOR THEM TO DECRY THE WASTED 47,000,000 LIVES OF BABIES SINCE THE INFAMOUS ROE V. WADE SUPREME COURT DECISION DECLARED A WAR OF TERROR ON THE INNOCENT UNBORN. I AM NOT HOLDING MY BREATH, HOWEVER. Larry My Comment I know exactly what you mean, Larry. Thanks for sharing this.
