Bruce Herschesohn – Electing John McCain is Essential

When it comes to United States foreign policy, there is perhaps no one more respected for his expertise on the subject, at least by conservatives, than Bruce Herschensohn. These days, Bruce is a professor teaching over at Pepperdine University, with an office right near that of Law School Dean Kenneth Starr. FlashReport Managing Editor Nicholas Romero and I had an opportunity to sit down with the conservative icon for the better part of an hour yesterday, courtesy of the John McCain for President campaign.

To say that Bruce is an ardent supporter of John McCain would be an understatement. As you will see from the interview below, Bruce feels that with the post 9-11 state of affairs around the world, foreign policy expertise and gravitas is reasons one through ten to suppport McCain.

She said it made her more likely to vote NO than YES.She gave it a D on targeting. Even though the piece was not addressed to me, I read it and read it first. I happen to know and like Lani Lutar from the San Diego Taxpayer’s Association so I pretty much ignored the other endorsements and was pretty content with my A vote until Valerie pointed out the mailer really was for her and for her it didn’t work. So I’ll run with her D for targeting.… Read More

Why I’ve Endorsed Mitt Romney

As a former supporter of Rudy Giuliani, I’ve gravitated now to Governor Mitt Romney and have endorsed him as of today. First, my reasons for opposing McCain:

He’s a demagogue on the Bush tax cuts, which saved the post 9-11 economy, and uses class warfare rhetoric; Wrote an amnesty bill and a completely unworkable overhaul of the immigration system; Crafted an anti-free speech campaign finance bill, McCain Feingold; Believes in "climate change", which is a fraud; Opposes exploration for our OWN oil in ANWAR, while we finance terrorism in theRead More

Dems bow to the Bey of Oakland

The San Francisco Chronicle might get a Pulitzer. No kidding, last weekend after several decades of missing the boat, brave reporters Matthai Kuruvila, Kevin Fagan and Jaxon Van Derbeken finally exposed the entrenched link between a local terrorist Muslim organization and key Democrat Bay area leaders.
