"Service Above Self" - words mentioned tonight

It's the Republicans turn for their national convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.

John McCain - Country First motto!

President George W Bush commented about "Service Above Self" a motto used by Rotarian's when he was describing Senator John McCain, the Republican presumptive candidate.

The RNC paid tribute to Ronald Reagan today. The Midwestern sportscaster, who used to cover the Iowa Hawkeyes, who moved onto Hollywood and then, into politics.

A simple platform... lower taxes, less regulation and "getting government off our backs..."

John McCain... a man influenced by two conservatives...

Barry Goldwater and
Ronald Reagan

Will America seek another conservative in 2008? We will find out on November 4, 2008... when we vote for our next President!
