The Political Pistachio Makes His Endorsments

Tuesday, November 20, 2007
Governor James Gilmore for Senate, William Russell for Congress, John Bootie for President, Sarah Palin for Vice President & Jim Gilchrist on My Point

The need for a Red November in 2008 is constantly on my mind. Everywhere I turn, I see idiotic moves made by Liberals, and it reminds me that it is imperative that the Republican Party not only keep the White House, but regain Congress. I don't think that a Red November is so imperative because the Republican Party is so wonderful. In fact, to be honest, many Republicans are not exactly on my good list. A Red November during the election in 2008 is important primarily because the Democratic Party and the Liberal Left they cater to is so horribly bad.

Need an example?

Well, how about Cambridge, Massachusetts and the sudden battle erupting there because the Boy Scouts are being seen as political for collecting care packages for American Troops in Iraq, a no-no apparently because the boxes for collecting the items for the care packages were, in some cases, too close to polling stations.

Huh? Collecting items for a care package is a political statement?

According to the Liberals in Cambridge, yes. Hear Andrea Shea King's take on this on the Voice of Liberty Podcast Network.

Governor Jim Gilmore announces he is a candidate for the U.S. Senate

ALEXANDRIA -- Former Virginia Republican Governor Jim Gilmore said today he is a candidate for the U.S. Senate, setting up what the media has labeled "Clash of the Titans 2008" as Gilmore takes on former Democrat Governor Mark Warner for the honor of succeeding U.S. Sen. John Warner.

"We have a great many challenges facing our country." said Gilmore. "Of course, serious problems and crises are nothing new for America. But today, I'm sorry to say, we also find too often that our leaders just aren't up to the challenge."

"America has a lot of work to do and doesn't have the right leaders to do it," the former Virginia Governor said.

Although America is facing great challenges Gilmore said he remains optimistic about the future. "We haven't lost what's down deep in all of us, and what really keeps us together despite all the problems that seem to have descended on us of late," said Gilmore.

"I'm running for the United State Senate from Virginia because I want to be one of those leaders who call on the spirit that is common in all of us, and use it to restore our country for the benefit of our people and in the eyes of the world."

The Gilmore announcement sets up a high profile contest between the two Virginia candidates for the U.S. Senate. Gilmore, a nationally recognized authority on homeland security, has spent years addressing the issues of national security, terrorism and border security. Mark Warner raised taxes as Governor after promising as a candidate that he would not increase taxes.

I have asked Governor Gilmore, who appeared on Political Pistachio Radio last July 21st to discuss his decision to withdraw from the Presidential Race, to come on my show again to talk about his decision to run for Senate. I will keep you posted on that opportunity, and how important it is for Jim Gilmore to succeed. The date I requested is the 29th of November, the day after I have William Russell on as a guest.

William Russell For Congress

Congressional Candidate William Russell is the Republican running against John Murtha next year for the Pennsylvania 12th District House of Representatives seat, and he will be joining Political Pistachio Radio on November 28th. One question I have in mind already is, how will Mr. Russell accomplish beating a foe that is so entrenched in pork for his district? Tune in on the 28th at 10 pm Eastern Time for the answer.

John Bootie for President

John Bootie is of the Conservative stripe, a stripe so conservative that the Republicans should be more like him. He is campaigning as The Next Lincoln/Reagan, and claims he is so conservative that he makes Rush Limbaugh look like a liberal. He joins Political Pistachio Radio Wednesday Night, November 21st (Thanksgiving Eve) to talk about his campaign, and the importance of giving thanks where it is due this Thanksgiving. *Special Note, John Bootie and I will also do a Political Pistachio Episode the Saturday before CHRISTmas regarding the War on CHRISTmas, and political correctness's attempt to kill Christianity as a faith in America!!!

Sarah Palin for Vice President

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has an approval rating that Federal Politicians could only dream of having. She is articulate, intelligent, and conservative. So why hasn't her name come up more often when names are being thrown around regarding the Presidency, or at least the Vice Presidency? Ah, but it has been. Well, a couple of National Review Online Pundits have indicated that she ought to be Vice President, anyway. Why not? On Saturday, November 24th, three of the brightest minds in blogging, and Sarah Palin supporters, will be on my show. Two of them, Steve Maloney and Adam Brickley, have been on the show before. Trish Houser is the other guest, and she participated in Sarah Palin's campaign for Governor of Alaska. Trish may give us some insight about Sarah Palin. Oh, and I sent a second e-mail off to Sarah hoping to gain her attention - perhaps we'll be graced by her presence too. Anyhow, tune in Saturday at 7 pm Eastern Time to Political Pistachio Radio to listen to this fantastic panel regarding Sarah Palin.
