McCain to receive Secret Service detail

Memphis, TN — In an exclusive interview with Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, Sen. John McCain said Friday that he will be meeting with U.S. Secret Service officials next week and intends to take on a detail in the coming weeks, “if not earlier.”

“I think that it’s important as we get more and more visibility–that we recognize the inevitable. And so we will be talking with them early (next week) to arrange for very soon, some Secret Service protection,” McCain said on Fox News Sunday, adding that he has not requested a detail until now because “it inhibits my ability to have close contact with people.”

The news comes one day after the Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan told a House Appropriations Subcommittee that McCain is the only major Presidential candidate who has declined Secret Service protection. Sens. Clinton and Obama both travel with Secret Service details.

Wallace’s full interview with the presumptive GOP nominee will be aired on Fox News Sunday this weekend.

It’s important that all Americans understand what is at stake in this election. The Republican Party is a party that believes in tradition, God, family, more personal freedom and a strong national defense.

The Democratic party is a party that believes in the murder of unborn children, radical feminism and homosexual-queer indoctrination of our youth. The Democrat Party is a party run by Jews, blacks and homosexuals. The Republican Party is a party run by normal, hard-working Americans.

Who do you stand with? Those that made America? Or the parasites trying to tear it down?

I heard you were in Rogers office yesterday trying to get me thrown off the blog because I hurt you’re feelings again

EDDY DID THIS TO ME–IM SENSITIVE, HE MADE ME CRY, BOO-HOO–EDDY CALLED ME A……BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,BLAH, BLAH.

Lookit you big baboon, if I didn’t have class I could call you alot worse. Case in point, Ive never made fun of you being a transvestite. The only thing Ive said about you’re religion, was when I asked you to get me Tom Cruise’s autograph. In fact I think Im unusually nice to you because I know that you’re a pathetic moron. So there.

I saw those comments you said about me Wed night. I can’t turn my back without you trashing me and trying to stick a shank in my back

Hey monkey boy, all is forgiven about you trying to get me and others thrown off the blog because you didn’t agree with what we said. I think Ive witnessed a miracle this morning. My dog took a dump this morning and when I went over to clean it up, I couldn’t believe what my eyes beheld. My dog had crapped out what appeared to be a spitting image of you. It was so miraculous I fell to my knees and silently thanked you for going to make me a rich man. Im storing it properly right now and I figure by next week it will be ready to put on e-bay. I figure if those chicks made $1,200 bucks selling a corn flake that looked like Indiana just think what people might pay for an image in dog poo of AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE.

THANK YOU BUDDY, IM GONNA BE RICH

Hey Greg, you call the Democrats parasites? How do you reconcile the fact that the top 10 tax providing states are Blue states and the top 10 Tax spending states are Red states? Or that Massachusetts has the lowest divorce rate, while 8 of the top 10 states for divorce are Red States… Seems to me that it is the republicans who are the parasites, and they’re not even thankful about it!

 
Comment by Bad Chigger Bite

If I were Obama and running against the Clinton’s, I’d be begging for at least a small army of secret service agents. The Clinton’s will have put a contract out on him by June! Just ask Foster, that’s right we can’t ask Foster, he never seen it coming either.

 
Comment by Debbie, NJ

Greg the Republican party believes in sending our kids off to war after they graduate from high school to be killed to prove a point . They feel they own the right to determine when our children die. They believe in keeing people in bondage if not by slavery then by poverty and disease and they don’t serve the same God that died for everybody’s sin. They themselves think they are God.

 
Comment by Proudmale

I am not going to address the social issues, because while I have my own deeply held feelings, I am sure that both Hillary’s and Obama’s can claim the same. Rather I am going to talk about the big picture items.

1. Iraq. It does not matter why we are in Iraq, the fact is we are in there. If you think we made a mad rush going in there save that evidence to avoid an error the next time around. I do not mean to belittle that line of argument but it is irrelevent to what happens next in Iraq. We have two choices. Finish the job and leave the world with a stable Iraq, and the Middle East with its first truly open government, or we can walk out now, see the current regime topple within a few months, to be followed by Saudi Arabia, Quatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, etc. Soon you are looking at $10 per gallon gas — if you can get it. Vietnam was an unpopular war, but ask just about any veteran what they hated the most and they will tell you about the sad pictures as thousands escaped from the roof of our embassy. It meant that all of the suffering, all of the lives lost, all of the lives ruined, all of the bodies shattered, were done in vain. We cannot let this happen in Iraq.

2. Borders — John McCain has a far strong recordd on borders than Hillary, and well Obama doesn’t really have a record there does he. This is not a racist item as we need to worry about the Canadian border as much as Mexico. As it now stands we have open borders that can be exploited 24/7 by terrorists. Further, while almost all of us are the result of immigration, we need to make sure that an EFFECTIVE PLAN IS IN PLACE to keep illegal alliens out.

3. Social Security — With my health I will be dust in the grave long before this timebomb explodes. But Hillary is lying left and right to the retired set, of which I am one, with her Social Security plans. We need to start investing the Social Security premiums external to the government or else the train will run off the tracks atop a 500 foot cliff. Investing those premiums in plants that grow American Productivity is the greatest thing we can do in the next 4 years to help out on the domestic front.

4. Medicare — Look at how much is spent during the last 90 days of anybody’s life. It is obscene. We prolong peoples lives by a few monts by simply postponing death at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars. Folks get real. I have given my family strict medical orders that nothing like that is to occur with me — do it for yourself while you still can. Otherwise you will be some cash cow to be milked until Medicare runs out, and then you run out if you catch my drift.

By the way, your dog dookie (which supposedly resembles me) is not worth nearly as much as my own excrement. As a Mormon in good standing (I’ve received a temple recommend for the past eight years straight), I am assured I will one day become god of my own planet. In anticipation of my future status as deity, I have been storing my feces in bottles for years now, knowing, one day (when I’m exalted to godhood), my poop will be worth billions and billions of dollars. To date, I have 37,429 16-ounce jars of my own feces. They are neatly stacked and stored in a local storage facility which will remain undisclosed for security purposes (though, if you’re ever driving up Highway 91 in northern Utah, you may detect the stench emanating forth from said storage facility). I’m gonna go for now…’cuz I gotta go right now…having just eaten Mexican for lunch, I anticipate filling up jar number 37,430 in just one sitting!

BASE ON THE INSIDER POLL IN THE MILITARY -

- THE MAJORITY OF THE ARM FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES ARE FAVORING TO VOTE EITHER FOR McCAIN OR CLINTON.

- THE MILITARY WILL NEVER VOTE FOR AN “ARAB AMERICAN CANDIDATE”

- THE ARAB NEWS MEDIA POLL - OBAMA IS THEIR NO. 1 CHOICE.

- THE ARAB NEWS MEDIA POLL - THEY HATE CLINTON AND McCAIN FOR THEIR

STRONG SUPPORT TO ISRAEL…

NOW THE BIG QUESTION IS…

- WILL AMERICANS VOTE FOR SOMEBODY THE MILITARY DON’T TRUST???

- FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR COUNTRY PLEASE VOTE FOR McCAIN OR CLINTON

AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!

- THE ONLY QUESTION LEFT TO ASK - WHO IS BEST TO SOLVE OUR ECONOMY PROBLEM??

- VOTE RESPONSIBLY!!!

To Democrates: What did Greg put down that isn’t true. Democrates do support abortion and gay marriages. The Republican Party doesn’t support welfare system, Democrates do support welfare systems. The welfare system encourages laziness. I once knew a family that lived almost intirerly off of the government. Now I wouldn’t go so far as to say that there aren’t good people in the Democrate party, but many of there beliefs I must call to question. Are this beliefs really good for America.
Reagan started to change America for the better. Job growth was up, inflation was down, real economic growth was better, interest rates were down. Real median family income grew by $4,000 after no growth before the Reagan years, and developed a loss of almost $1,500 for the post Reagan years. So really people the Republican party is the hope of the nation. WE NEED ANOTHER REAGAN, NOT ANOTHER CLINTON OF OBAMA.

Does anyone think that Obama has a chance against Mccain, after saying the American Flag represents oppression to many and he could never wear it or salute it.

People read the book he wrote about his father and how his white mother was shamful too him….. Thats why we never here about her and thats why he threw his grandmother under the bus for the love of his false profet mr.wrong.

I’m NOT a Mormon - that’s the other “A.C.” who poses as me.
I’m a Christian - “saved by grace, through faith, not of works lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Jesus has saved me through His sacrifice as my substitute on the cross. I love Him for it, and will spend eternity thanking Him for who He is and for all He’s done.

I really don’t know Holly. Obama has a talent to stir up people. When he started doing this I reliezed that he was worse than Hillary. How little I knew. He is much, much worse than Hillary. That when I started to blog against him, once I saw he was racist and had Muslim connections. However Hillary campaign might just best him. Hillary and her supporters are smart and won’t vote for Obama. We better pray that if Obama does win, Hillary won’t be his VP. As far as now, if the U.S was to vote. I think McCain would win.

It’s not about what he said or did. It’s all about whether the media will bring that information into the homes of all Americans.

At this point, there are still a huge number of people who have no idea what has been revealed during this campaign.

It all depends on what news sources they use.

My suspicion is that the vast majority of Americans would disapprove of BO, if they had all the info.

Personally I think the Republicans will lose out right against either Democate. The Iraq war is to unpopular because of our wonderful media. The media won’t expose Obama, so the work is up to us. Regardless, people are to desperate for change and the Democrates are running on that ticket. McCain is the hope for the same thing. Problem is, there nothing wrong with the same thing if it moving in the right direction. Hillary will probably beat McCain. Obama and McCain will be close because of tick of Hillary supporters, but Obama will probably still win. This is just my opinion though.

He’s an American hero who has (at least) decent positions on most of the issues I care about.
Obama, on the other hand, is a smooth talker (a genuinely gifted communicator), but is not who he portrays himself to be. If he is our next President, not only will he enact his radical leftist/socialist policies, he will set back race relations in America 50 years through his failure to acknowledge the progress that has been made in this nation throughout the past four or five decades. ALL Americans (of any color) have the opportunity to be successful in 2008 America. If anyone fails to do so, said failure can no longer (legitimately) be blamed on ‘whitey,’ ‘the man,’ or on anyone else.

Good point about Oprah (and her success in a nation where blacks supposedly have no opportunities).

Comment by Haley Rodman Clemson

I’m surprised McCain hasn’t had a security detail sooner. Yeah, he could probably lay the smack down on a would-be attacker (unlike sissy Obama) but I thought it was standard protocol for major candidates to have protection. The Secret Service better be ready to protect him for the next four years!

 
Comment by Jeff X

The Democrats really screwed themselves this election. If Obama wins the nomination, a good chunk of Hillary backers will either sit home or vote for McCain because of the way the party and media have treated her. If Hillary gets the nomination, then the DEMS will be saying goodbye for many years their most loyal voting segment, Black Americans. You know there was no way I thought the GOP could pull this off, but it almost looks like a lock for McCain since the Democrats shot themselves in the foot again.

 
Comment by Proudmale

This election seems to be shaping up like the 1976 election. In that election the people were strongly with Ronald Reagan. I still have an editorial cartoon that I treasure showing Ford on a state visit to China where he and Deng are out walking. Deng tells him I am a Lonald Leagan Conservitive.

Anyway the nomination went to the convention and Ford pulled out a squeker for the bid. As we all know he went down in defeat to Jimmy Carter (who I think either has or is about to nominate Obama). Reagan did not go away and built the organization that won both the nomination and the election that started the Reagan Revolution.

McCain says he was a foot soldier in that revolution, but I look at him as more of a Lieutenant, with the foot soldiers being the young crazy foot soldiers like me. When Reagan left, I knew exactly what he meant when he said “we thought we could change the world”. That was the feeling that folks like I felt from the happy rush.

Option 1 would be having Obama rebuilding his machine and capturing the Democratic Party in 2012. Because if he does not get the election this time around, Hillary will not stand a chance with the massive walk out that will occur. I think this is the most likely to occur.

Option 2 would be for the Republicans to massively recruit that young fellow and groom him for the Presidency in 2016. By then, we should have converted a lot of his thoughts into fiscal conservitism. More importantly, he will help the Republicans connect with the Gen X and Gen Y that we are not getting. We have many mutual concerns such as Social Security so this Option 2 is not that far from reality. Remember, politics is the science of the possible.

Finally, I disagree with a lot of Obama’s nauive economic stances, but Hillary is an outright thief that I would never trust in a thousand years.

Remember America Bill did not want her. Why should we?

[Obama Resign said: "but he (McCain) is still a big p*ssy to me."] I don’t trust his immigration stance one bit & a few other things, But given 1) he’s one of the very few lawmakers Never to add pork, 2)he was doing without taxpayer paid SS protection, until the media ratted him out, 3) he did the POW gig, 4) & came walking thru that massive fuel fire on the aircraft carrier, after the friendly fire rocket took out his jet, like he was walking to the store to buy a pack a smokes, he’s the one I Want answering that GD 3am phone call! (Given the current choices). His song writting ain’t bad either, “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran”. The current Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Their As* while they kill our troops has gotta’ stop.

Who’s flip -floping now???

The OBAMA Advisers are singing different tune???

- “Adviser Colin Kahl wrote in a policy paper for the Center for a New American Security that the United States should transition to an “over-watch” force of between 60,000 and 80,000 troops by the end of 2010, according to an article Friday in the New York Sun.

That appears to be at odds with Obama’s public position of removing all combat brigades from the country within 16 months of taking office.

Kahl told the Sun his plan would still keep the U.S. “out of the lead” and mainly in a “support role.” He said the plan had nothing to do with the campaign.

The Obama campaign said in a statement: “The writing of Mr. Kahl, one of hundreds of outside advisers to the campaign, is not representative of Barack Obama’s consistent policy position on the Iraq war.”

But Kahl’s plan seems to jibe with other advisers’ statements that Obama’s withdrawal timetables are more a goal than a firm policy commitment.

Foreign policy adviser Susan Rice, for instance, told reporters in February that Obama’s plan to end the war in 2009 is not absolute, and that he reserves the right to revisit troop levels in Iraq upon taking the oath of office….”

SHOULD WE BELIEVE OBAMA WHEN HE SAID “THIS IS A WRONG WAR?” - AND PROMISING AMERICANS THAT HE WILL END IT? BUT WE ARE HEARING TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM HIS SURROGATES???

WHAT IS THIS??? SAYING AND PROMISING SOMETHING BUT PLANNING TO DO DIFFERENT???

WHAT KIND OF PRESIDENCY OBAMA WILL HAVE?

- IF HE WILL BE SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO IS PLANNING TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS THAN WHAT HE IS PROMISING TO AMERICAN PEOPLE???

- FLIP-FLOP!!! FLIP-FLOP!!! FLIP-FLOP!!! FLIP-FLOP!!! FLIP-FLOP!!! FLIP-FLOP!!! FLIP-FLOP!!!

***OBAMA CAMP IS NOW SINGING DIFFERENT TUNE BECAUSE OF THE LATEST POLL***

BASE ON THE INSIDER POLL IN THE MILITARY -

- THE MAJORITY OF THE ARM FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES ARE FAVORING TO VOTE EITHER FOR McCAIN OR CLINTON.

- THE MILITARY WILL NEVER VOTE FOR AN “ARAB AMERICAN CANDIDATE”

- THE ARAB NEWS MEDIA POLL - OBAMA IS THEIR NO. 1 CHOICE.

- THE ARAB NEWS MEDIA POLL - THEY HATE CLINTON AND McCAIN FOR THEIR

STRONG SUPPORT TO ISRAEL…

NOW THE BIG QUESTION IS…

- WILL AMERICANS VOTE FOR SOMEBODY THE MILITARY DON’T TRUST???

- FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR COUNTRY PLEASE VOTE FOR McCAIN OR CLINTON

AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!

- THE ONLY QUESTION LEFT TO ASK - WHO IS BEST TO SOLVE OUR ECONOMY PROBLEM??

- VOTE RESPONSIBLY!!!

I understand that former Presidents command speaking fees. However, we are talking about an average of $12.5 million per year since Bill left the White House. That is over $1 million every month in net income.

Hillary is aiming her campaign at the blue collar workers and the release of her tax returns clearly shows that she has nothing in common with them. She may talk about a person worrying about paying for the roof over their head, while she makes enough money each and every hour $1389 to come close to if not completely pay the average mortgage of all Americans.

Given that type of personal wealth her lack of paying the insurance premiums for those who are enslaving themselves to get her elected is unconscionable. She has told us that health care is one of the absolutely critical issues that must be solved. Then wham, bang, she forgets to pay the premiums on her campaign employees. That would not be easy to swallow if she was just getting by, but she has got more than enough money to take care of her employees families.
For that matter, why in the world did she just lend her campaign the $5 million? There was another rich American earlier this year that at least was willing to spend his own money. Hillary is so greedy that she wants to keep all that she has, and still get $20 from somebody who is struggling to get along. Give me a break.
Remember America – Bill did not want her. Why should we?

Agreed with your comments (a rarity given our disputes over your false faith) until you referred to Romney.

Proudmale - I agree with your last posting. She just wants someone else to pay. Just like health care. The big corps like Walmart where she sat on the board have a large part of their employees are part time employees. They save money by not having to provide it. Increases their profits while putting the burden on the tax payer. If the tax payers where paying her campaign staffs premium, it would have been paid on time.

Do you think Big O is any less skanky? How much was his wife getting paid by the non-profit hospital?
