Republican Party Officially Nominates McCain

Posted September 4, 2008, 10:34 a.m.

Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has been formally nominated by the Republican Party as their Presidential candidate to stand in the November general election against Democratic nominee Senator Barack Obama (D-IL). McCain has been the presumptive nominee since securing a majority of pledged party convention delegates in March, but the delegates to the Republican National Convention have now made McCain’s nomination official.

Senator McCain is joined on the Republican ticket by Vice Presidential nominee Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK), who McCain announced as his running mate last Friday.

Palin is only the second woman on a major-party national ticket, following Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro in 1984. If McCain is elected, Palin would become the first female Vice President (and, in the event of McCain’s death, resignation, or removal from office, would become the first female President).

Mass formation blinds both intelligent and less intelligent people to the same extent. People really don’t have to be part of a conspiracy to systematically make the most foolish mistakes.

Mattias Desmet

Modernists have undermined faith far more effectively than atheists. The wolves in sheep’s clothing have carried away many more sheep than the honest wolves.

Peter Kreeft

You only live twice: Once when you are born, and once when you look death in the face.

Ian Fleming

Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive. They are too often praised for being broadminded when they are so broadminded they can never make up their minds about anything.

Fulton Sheen

It very frequently happens that a man does not undertake to direct the fortune of the state until he has discovered his incompetence to conduct his own affairs.

Alexis de Tocqueville

If anybody ever says you’re ‘smart as a whip,’ remember this: whips are inanimate objects that do not possess any intelligence whatsoever.

An idea that is not dangerous is not worthy of being called an idea at all.
