Florida Senate Candidate Marco Rubio

Karl Rove on Monday confirmed that he has endorsed Marco Rubio for the US Senate over Governor Charlie Crist.

From NBC News (in a truthful article for a change) reports that Rove admitted contributing $1000 to Rubio’s Campaign.

Over the past few weeks, Florida GOP Gov. Charlie Crist has found himself being put on the defensive more and more in the primary thanks to the challenge by ex-state House Speaker Marco Rubio. While Crist has financially overwhelmed Rubio to date, there are many Republicans — particularly those in Flordia that are close to former GOP Gov. Jeb Bush — who have publicly become more comfortable airing their skepticism about Crist in public. One of those Republicans with close ties to the Bush family, Karl Rove, has signaled his preference with his wallet. Rove confirms to NBC News that he has contributed a $1000 to Rubio’s campaign, the donation will be made public when Rubio files his next FEC report…

From Yahoo:

Swedish broadcaster SVT on Thursday released a previously unseen film clip purportedly showing the release of presidential candidate John McCain to the U.S. military in Hanoi in 1973.

A former SVT reporter, Erik Eriksson, said he found the video in the network’s archives when he was looking for footage for a book he was writing about his experiences as a war correspondent in Vietnam.

SVT posted the edited 39-second clip on its Web site on Thursday. It shows McCain stepping off a bus with other prisoners. He has a pronounced limp but is not using crutches.

It then shows McCain standing in a lineup when his name is called. He walks up to salute and shake hands with U.S. military officers. The last part of the clip shows a U.S. Air Force jet taxiing on a runway.

Culture Of Corruption

Firebrand Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer bragged to a convention of trial lawyers to have rigged the 2006 Montana’s elections in favor of the Democrat Party.

From The Great Falls Tribune:

Critics of Gov. Brian Schweitzer are taking aim at remarks he made at a trial lawyers’ convention earlier this year in which he implied that he used his position as governor to influence the outcome of the 2006 mid-term election.

Schweitzer, speaking at the American Association for Justice annual convention in Philadelphia on July 14, told a room full of convention-goers that he helped “turn some dials” to get fellow Democrat Jon Tester elected to the U.S. Senate.

In his speech, Schweitzer claimed he played a role in removing GOP poll watchers from Montana’s Indian reservations; that he influenced the timing of the release of election results in Butte-Silver Bow County; and that he pressured the Associated Press to call the race for Tester on Nov. 8.

On Wednesday Schweitzer backed off those remarks, saying his speech at the trial lawyers’ convention was meant to be humorous and that many of the comments weren’t actually true.

“You know, humor can work sometimes and sometimes it can offend, and this time around it offended some folks,” Schweitzer said Wednesday afternoon.

Schweitzer’s speech was recorded and recently posted anonymously on the Internet, where conservative bloggers were quick to attack the remarks. By Tuesday, news of the speech had traveled throughout Montana’s political circles and was causing a mild uproar among some Republicans.

Never Forget

President George W. Bush Address to a joint session of  Congress Sept. 20, 2001:

…

It is my hope that in the months and years ahead life will return almost to normal. We’ll go back to our lives and routines and that is good.

Even grief recedes with time and grace.

But our resolve must not pass. Each of us will remember what happened that day and to whom it happened. We will remember the moment the news came, where we were and what we were doing.

Some will remember an image of a fire or story or rescue. Some will carry memories of a face and a voice gone forever.

And I will carry this. It is the police shield of a man named George Howard who died at the World Trade Center trying to save others.

It was given to me by his mom, Arlene, as a proud memorial to her son. It is my reminder of lives that ended and a task that does not end.

I will not forget the wound to our country and those who inflicted it. I will not yield, I will not rest, I will not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the American people.

The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.

Fellow citizens, we’ll meet violence with patient justice, assured of the rightness of our cause and confident of the victories to come.

In all that lies before us, may God grant us wisdom and may he watch over the United States of America.
