Here is audio of former Boston Red Sox pitching great Curt Schilling saying he is "proud of the country I live in - I'm proud of the people who serve this country, and I feel like I'm fighting the other side to be that way. That doesn't make any sense to me." Schilling very clearly puts into words what millions of Americans feel about the Leftists in America who want to "Change" the greatest nation on Earth - as if America is badly flawed. I still believe - like Schilling - that most Americans are intensely proud of their country....

This is a short report on the Big Rally yesterday. Pretty objective considering it's from the MSM.

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley and former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling took new aim at one another Monday, the day before voters hit the polls for the special election to fill the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat. Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley and former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling took new aim at one another Monday, the day before voters hit the polls for the special election to fill the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat. Still shaking his head at being called a Yankee fan, the Red Sox great told Fox News that Coakley doesn't understand Massachusetts...

Here is video of former Boston Red Sox pitching great Curt Schilling on Fox and Friends this morning where he talked about Democrat Senate Candidate Martha Coakley and her gaffes. He particularly talked about her calling Schilling a "Yankees Fan" in a radio interview the other day. It was obvious in the interview she simply did not know who Schilling was. Schilling supports Republican Scott Brown and said he believes it will be a huge message to President Obama and Washington for Brown to win the race. Schilling said he might consider running for office some day in the future...

What a stupid ______. Can’t friggin’ spell Masatooochets and thinks the bloody sock pitcher who smashed my Yankees to bits a few years back for the Red Sox (it’s okay; I forgive him … he’s a Pubbie) is a friggin’ Yankee Fan? Please, Mass … do the country a damned favor and put Scott Brown in the Senate. We already have enough malfunctioning idiots in the District of Criminals.

But never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn’t know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could….

On the talk radio show, "Nightside With Dan Rea," Coakley labels Rudy Giuliani as a Yankee fan, then goes on to bizarrely describe Brown supporter Curt Schilling, the great former Red Sox pitcher, as a Yankee fan as well. Hear the audio here: Link For those who don't know who Curt Schilling is, he is a famous Red Sox pitcher. This woman seem intent on insulting Mass citizens.

Here is audio of former Baseball great Curt Schilling on the Dennis and Callahan Radio Show today where he talked about the possibility that he might run for the U.S. Senate seat formerly occupied for 47 years by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. Schilling said one of his primary "credentials" would be that he "has no baggage - no special interests and no ties." If Schilling runs, he would more than likely run as a Republican or an Independent. Take a look below at him introducing Sen. John McCain and speaking in his behalf during the 2008 election. He's pretty...

<p>BOSTON (Sept. 2) -- Curt Schilling, the former major league pitcher who won the allegiance of Bostonians by leading the Red Sox to the 2004 World Series, said Wednesday that he has "some interest'' in running for the seat held for nearly 50 years by Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. Schilling, a registered independent and longtime Republican supporter, wrote on his blog that while his family and video gaming company, 38 Studios, are high priorities, "I do have some interest in the possibility.'" "That being said, to get to there, from where I am today, many, many things would have to align themselves for that to truly happen,'' he added. Any other comment "would be speculation on top of speculation,'' Schilling said, adding, "My hope is that whatever happens, and whomever it happens to, this state makes the decision and chooses the best person -- regardless of sex, race, religion or political affiliation -- to help get this state back to the place it deserves to be." Schilling refused to comment when his office was contacted by phone. The 42-year-old lives in suburban Medfield and campaigned for President George W. Bush in 2004 and Sen. John McCain in 2008. As a player, he won three World Series, in 2001 with the Arizona Diamondbacks and in 2004 and 2007 with the Red Sox. He became a Sox legend when he won Game 6 of the 2004 American League Championship Series while blood from an injured ankle seeped through his sock. He retired in March. He and his wife, Shonda, have four children ages 7 to 14.</p>

ST. PETERSBURG -- Former right-hander Curt Schilling -- who has always had an interest in politics -- confirmed Wednesday that he has been contacted about running for the seat vacated by late Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, who died last week after a prolonged bout with brain cancer. While acknowledging how busy he is in his post-playing career, Schilling did not rule out the possibility of making a run at the Senate. Schilling retired from baseball in March and currently runs an online game-development company called 38 Studios. "While my family is obviously the priority, and 38 Studios is a priority,...

Add another name to the growing list of pols and would-be pols eyeing a run for Edward M. Kennedy's Senate seat: Former Red Sox ace Curt Schilling. That's right, Mr. Bloody Sock himself apparently told NECN's Brad Puffer in an interview today that he, too, was considering running for the seat. Schilling would presumably run as a Republican -- he supported President George W. Bush in the 2004 election, and he campaigned for Senator John McCain in the 2008 presidential race.

BOSTON -- Curt Schilling, the former major league pitcher who won the allegiance of Bostonians by leading the Red Sox to the 2004 World Series, said Wednesday that he has "some interest" in running for the seat held for nearly 50 years by Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

Curt Schilling, best known for his bloody-sock pitching heroics, may step up to the plate and run for U.S. Senate. The retired Red Sox [team stats] ace said today in a telephone interview with NECN that even though his “plate is full,” he’s been contacted to consider a run for the open seat held by the late Edward M. Kennedy. A Jan. 19 special election has been set by the governor to fill the post.

BOSTON -- It may take DNA experts to finally settle the rumors surrounding Curt Schilling's famous bloody sock. Baltimore Orioles broadcaster Gary Thorne said on the air last night that Schilling painted the sock red as a public relations stunt in the Boston Red Sox's Game 6 win over the New York Yankees in the 2004 AL championship series. "It was painted," Thorne said during the Orioles-Red Sox game. "Doug Mirabelli confessed up to it after. It was all for PR." But Mirabelli, Boston's backup catcher, later denied ever talking to Thorne, telling the Boston Globe that Thorne's comment was...

On July 25, 2004, the Red Sox and Yankees tussled at Boston’s historic Fenway Park. The then-presumptive Democratic nominee for President was Massachusetts’ own John Kerry. On the campaign trail, Kerry had routinely professed to be a die-hard Sox fan, even though in an interview a month earlier he named as his all time favorite Sox player a man who never actually played for the Red Sox. In order to demonstrate his Ordinary Joe bona fides to a watchful and suspicious nation, Kerry made a splashy show of attending that evening’s game. To celebrate Kerry’s rare mingling with the hoi...

Curt Schilling seemed surprised yesterday by the sudden groundswell of local supporters hoping to draft him into national politics and a 2008 Senate run against John Kerry. The Red Sox pitching hero didn’t flatly rule out the idea, either, though he didn’t sound like he was about to hit the campaign trail anytime soon. “I couldn’t rule it out because it’s not something I ever thought about in a serious capacity,” Schilling told the Herald. “I envision that I will probably be pretty busy in 2008,” he said. “But I’m flattered as hell to even make this phone call.” The...

Last autumn, Curt Schilling helped the Red Sox win it all. Now, he and his wife, Shonda, are helping a New Orleans family of nine who have lost almost everything. Moved by the plight of thousands of Gulf Coast residents whose lives were shattered by Hurricane Katrina, the star pitcher and his wife arranged to fly up a family and to put them up in a Boston-area hotel, where the family has been since Saturday. The Fields family has seven children, four boys and three girls. They are between the ages of 5 and 12. The family fled its New...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Retired slugger Mark McGwire Thursday told a congressional panel investigating drugs in baseball that he would not "participate in naming names" of players who used steroids. McGwire did not say in his opening statement to the House Government Reform Committee whether he used steroids. Two current players, Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro, said they never used steroids. That duo and McGwire were accused of using performance-enhancing drugs by Jose Canseco in a best-selling book that helped prompt the hearing. In a tense scene, Canseco sat at the same table as the other players as he told the...

As Boston native Bob Kirk stood watching the Red Sox celebrate last October after winning the World Series for the first time in 86 years, he talked about his father who died of cancer the previous December. Mr. Kirk said, "His last words to me were, 'have they signed Schilling?'" Schilling is Curt Schilling, and yes, the Sox in signing him to a contract obtained not only one of baseball's top hurlers but a man who showed physical and spiritual courage during 2004 while tens of millions watched. He pitched two crucial playoff and World Series games with his own...

Earlier today, former Cincinnati Reds catcher Johnny Bench introduced President Bush at a rally at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati: In Cincinnati, I have to think Bench's endorsement is worth some votes. President Bush has gotten some striking athletic endorsements--Bench, John Elway, Curt Schilling, and quite a few others--while, as far as I know, Kerry has gotten none. Maybe that's why Kerry is so obsessive about throwing balls around at airports. Now, if only the Bush campaign could land Brett Favre... UPDATE: Hah! It's true what they say about Karl Rove. Dusty Tryggestad writes: Actually, my mom recieved a...

Listening to Quinn. Curt Schilling is making a speech for the President. 12,000 in attendence. Crowd is pumped, Santorum is pumped, Schilling is pumped. Bush to speak soon.

BOSTON (AP) Curt Schilling wasn't supposed to pitch again this year, but he's endorsing President Bush in a campaign pitch on automated phone calls being made in three battleground states through Election Day. The Red Sox righthander, whose sore ankle prevented him from attending Bush campaign rallies Friday, recorded endorsements that will be used in New Hampshire, Maine and Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, Democratic challenger John Kerry recruited Red Sox principal owner John Henry, part-owner Tom Werner and general manager Theo Epstein to appear with him Sunday at a campaign stop in Manchester, N.H. The pitcher endorsed Bush in a TV interview...

BOSTON -- Looking to share some of the magic that propelled the Boston Red Sox to their first World Series title in 86 years, President Bush enlisted a fan favorite to deliver his pitch while Democratic Sen. John Kerry recruited the team's front office. Curt Schilling, the Red Sox winning pitcher in Game 2 of the World Series, endorses Bush in automated recordings that will be used in three competitive states -- New Hampshire, Maine and Pennsylvania -- before Tuesday's voting.

NASHUA, N.H. -- John Kerry's campaign hopes some of the Boston Red Sox' come-from-behind magic will rub off on the candidate.Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner will be outside Holman Stadium at noon Sunday to thank southern New Hampshire Red Sox fans for their support and ask them to support Kerry for president.

Apparently Curt Schilling doesn't regret his endorsement of President Bush [related, bio] after all: The Sox hero has recorded automated phone calls backing Bush that will be made until Election Day. Trying at least not to be outdone, Sen. John F. Kerry's campaign yesterday signed up three Sox executives to campaign with him today in New Hampshire. Kerry's spokesman went so far as to say yesterday the Sox wouldn't have won the World Series if Bush had had his way as owner of the Texas Rangers. ``I don't think any member of Red Sox Nation can afford four more years...

Live coverage of the Red Sox Parade on ESPNEWS....crowd estimate 5 million people...looks more like 3.

They're, um, mounting the Duck boats in Fenway Park, and it dawns on me that Kurt Schilling, who endorsed Bush on Good Morning America this week, is nowhere to be seen. Then it dawned on me that every *other* Sox player spoke in Fenway before they started the parade *but* Schilling. Amazing. Vengence is mine, says the War Hero, by way of Mumbles Menino...

So Boston Red Sox star pitcher Curt Schilling canceled his scheduled cam paign appearance in New Hampshire yesterday with President Bush. Was that his idea? Schilling says he had no choice, because he's "not medically cleared to do anything" until he sees a doctor Sunday about his injured tendon. Maybe the Bosox didn't want to antagonize Boston's hometown senator (who'll still be a force on Capitol Hill, even if he loses next Tuesday). Or maybe the team's part-owners — the Bush-bashing New York Times — were heard from. John Kerry must be relieved — ever since Schilling announced that...

Just was listening to the midday show on Chicago sports radio station The Score, 670AM. The hosts, Dan Bernstein and Terry Boers, were talking about Curt Schilling's endorsement of Bush. Bernstein then went on to make the following statements: "God tells Bush what to do," Bush "likes to blow up brown people all while telling Curt Schilling how to pitch." Bernstein makes anti-Bush comments all the time on his show, but by far this is the most insulting I've heard to date.

The Springsteens support Kerry, the Schillings support Bush. Bruce Springsteen held a free concert for Kerry with 80,000 people in attendance. Schilling helped the Boston Red Sox win the World Series for the first time in 84 years. While being interviewed by Good Morning America, Schilling threw in a last minute political comment. "just tell everyone to vote...and vote for Bush". The look on Charles Gibson's face was worth the price of admission. Both "celebrities" symbolize their perspective candidates values. Springsteen, a rich, famous musician who spends most of his time ensconced in his own world. Schilling is a rich...

(CNSNews.com) - Owners of the Boston Red Sox and the club's president have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrat candidates, including Sen. John Kerry, while giving little to Republicans, according to federal election records. Red Sox principal owner John W. Henry, a hedge fund investor, donated $471,500 to Democrats since 2000, much of it in large amounts to Democrat campaign committees. Henry gave the maximum $2,000 to Sen. John Kerry last year, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The team's chairman, Thomas C. Werner, a partner at a Hollywood production studio, gave $131,000 to the Democratic...

Someone Didn't Want Schilling Shilling for Bush By Susan Jones CNSNews.com Morning Editor October 29, 2004 (CNSNews.com) - Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling spontaneously endorsed President Bush on national TV Thursday; then he agreed to campaign with the president in New Hampshire; but by Friday, Schilling had backed out, saying he should not have offered up his "unsolicited political opinions." The principle owner of the Red Sox is John Henry, who made his fortune trading in hedge funds. The number two owner is Tom Werner, the Hollywood producer romantically linked in the past with NBC News anchor Katie Couric. There...

DAYTON, Ohio — Yankee-slaying stud Curt Schilling yesterday took the mound for President Bush and hurled a brush-back pitch at Red Sox fan John Kerry. "Tell everybody to vote," Schilling said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America," adding emphatically, "And vote Bush next week." The World Series hero's endorsement caught the Bush campaign by complete surprise, but they certainly welcomed it. "He was a big help this morning," White House press secretary Scott McClellan told The Post. "We'd appreciate any help he could give us." Today, Schilling and Bush will be battery mates at campaign stops in...
