An eight minute update on the previous three seasons. What the FRAK is going on?

Senator and presumptive GOP Presidential nominee John McCain was booed today in Memphis, Tennessee while explaining his opposition to a federal holiday for Martin Luther King was a mistake.

Saying “we are still left with a feeling of loss,” Sen. John McCain paid tribute today to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis, at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference on the 40th anniversary of King’s death.

Most notably, McCain acknowledged that he was wrong to oppose creating a federal holiday in honor of the slain civil rights leader.

“We can be slow as well to give greatness its due, a mistake I made myself long ago when I voted against a federal holiday in memory of Dr. King,” McCain said. “I was wrong and eventually realized that, in time to give full support for a state holiday in Arizona. We can all be a little late sometimes in doing the right thing, and Dr. King understood this about his fellow Americans. But he knew as well that in the long term, confidence in the reasonability and good heart of America is always well placed.”

McCain has said that he knew little of King and the civil rights struggle because he was a prisoner of war in Hanoi and received only sporadic news during his five and a half years’ confinement. But his captors told him and his fellow POW’s when King was assassinated.

“In our circumstances at the time, good news from America was hard to come by. But the bad news was a different matter, and each new report of violence, rioting, and other tribulations in America was delivered without delay,” he said. “The enemy had correctly calculated that the news from Memphis would deeply wound morale, and leave us worried and afraid for our country. Doubtless it boosted our captors’ morale, confirming their belief that America was a lost cause, and that the future belonged to them.”

Outreach on the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination is one thing but apologizing is quite another. Flap is still not convinced that a federal holiday is necessary but whatever.

It was the Republican Party and Abraham Lincoln who ended slavery in this country. And, wasn’t it the Southern Democrats for years that blocked civil rights for blacks in the South?

Today is symbolism over substance and McCain has bought into it – hook line and sinker. And, will it win him any more votes?

Doubtful……….

No Mitt for VP Ad

Conservative leader Paul Weyrich – who endorsed Mitt Romney’s presidential bid – has signed on to an open letter from more than two dozen movement activists to John McCain warning him not to select the former Massachusetts governor as his VP pick if he expects their support.

“If Governor Romney is on your ticket, many social conservative voters will consider their values repudiated by the Republican Party and either stay away from the polls this November or only vote down the ticket,” they write in a message posted online by a political action committee called “Government is Not God.”

The letter – topped by the headline “NO Mitt” — will run as a print ad in cities visited by McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, beginning with his Arizona stop this weekend.

The group includes supporters of Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee like activists Gary Glenn and Janet Folger, along with conservatives who have long criticized Romney for his past stands on issues like abortion.

John McCain should NOT select Mitt Romney as Vice President. Romney is a self-serving political opportunist who has consistently flip-flopped on issues important to conservatives.

So, is this organized effort to stop Romney a plea to select Mike Huckabee as Vice President?

Probably

But, Huckabee would be another disaster.

John McCain has a full field of GOP Governors from which to choose, including Tim Pawlenty from Minnesota and Mark Sanford from South Carolina. Another choice who is being mentioned is former Ohio Congressman Rob Portman.
