Iraq and Politics
The once volatile Anbar Province is now much more secure and turned over to the Iraqi government. This is huge, according to Iraq War veteran David Bellavia of Vets for Freedom. Listen to David and Greg discuss this news and how Republicans are responding to the message of pressing on to victory.
Even More Progress in Iraq
With all of the attention focused on the convention and a hurricane, maybe you missed the latest sign of progress in Iraq. The once deadly and chaotic Anbar province is now under Iraqi control. Is this proof that we are winning in Iraq or is victory more about lasting political changes that are yet to be achieved? Respond with your thoughts about where we stand in Iraq and what still needs to be achieved.
McCain’s Big Night
Sarah Palin wowed the Republican faithful on Wednesday night, so how does John McCain match or top her? What must he say tonight to convince YOU that he is the right choice for President?
Grading Sarah Palin
Yes, She Has Foreign Policy Experience!
Democrats claim Sarah Palin is not ready to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Why? Because of her supposed lack of foreign policy experience. But former Defense Department official Frank Gaffney says Palin has plenty of background when it comes to foreign affairs. What do you think? Is she biting off more than she can chew or ready for the challenges to come.
The Lieberman Factor
Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention, former Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Lieberman strongly endorsed presumptive GOP nominee John McCain. Will he still be welcomed in Democratic circles? What impact might his crossing the aisle have on this campaign?
‘Progressive’ Media Wants Palin to Stay Home With Her Kids
The mainstream media has championed the working woman for decades and even a women ascending to the highest office in the land. What they didn’t reveal until recently is that they don’t want that option afforded to conservative women raising a young family with specific challenges. Is that true? Is Sarah Palin being subjected to the the worst imaginable double standards along gender lines? Or are there family issues that will demand more time than a Vice President can spare?
Palin in the Spotlight
Wednesday night is Sarah Palin night at the Republican convention. What does she need to accomplish in her nomination acceptance speech? What do Americans need to hear? And will she be saddled by the media firestorm surrounding her or benefit from it?
