So, Glenn Jameson, here at SOLO, is a "key creative talent" behind National's latest billboard campaign. Many people, such as Peter Cresswell, are up in arms over it.

At the end of this War on Jihad, it will be that we have finally buried the cavemen, the religious cavemen, who we had to face one last time in a fight as ugly as al Sadr's face, before achieving victory.

SOLO-International Press Release: The Bane of McCain

September 5, 2008

Senator McCain's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, admirable in many ways but fundamentally flawed, was an instructive illustration of the contradictions of Conservatism, says SOLO Principal Lindsay Perigo.

John Galt Award—KASS Speech of the Century: Sarah Palin to RNC

http://www.gopconvention2008.com/videos/

"It's easy to forget that this [Obama] is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate. This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word 'victory' except when he's talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed ... when the roar of the crowd fades away ... when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent's plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he's done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger ... take more of your money ... give you more orders from Washington ... and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world."
