The Seminal on the F.I.S.A sell out

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

I don’t have a lot of to add to this excellent piece other to remind you of these points.
#1 Getting most Congresscritters to follow the Constitution and do what their constituents want is a constant uphill battle. But remember it is winnable if you keep working at it. Polite. Firm. Responsible Good quality […]

Mitt Romney Out

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

With Mitt Romney gone that makes the candidate John McCain. Huckabee is still the race but he can’t win without money or votes. Ron Paul, well as good a candidate as he is, his platform is unsellable to a lot of people.
Once the Democrats have decided it should be a very interesting race.what This year […]

A Vote for Mccain is Vote for Perpetual War

Frankly I don’t want an empire of 700+ military bases or to occupy people who don’t want us there. I want the troop home. A vote for McCain is a vote for endless war.
I like Catos’ take on it
But give Senator McCain credit: he isn’t falsely marketing a “humble” […]

Super Tuesday Endorsements

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

My primary endorsements:
Democrat:
Since Mike Gravel is out I choose Barack Obama:
He is the lesser of two evils. He is anti war and pretty electable in the general election. I don’t care for many his views but I do think he will do a better job than Senator Clinton. Plus Obama never […]

John Edwards Drops Out of Race

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

This is well reported news of course but wvec.com has the story if you haven’t read it.
I thinks its too bad. Of the mainstream candidates he was one of the best.
I suspect he couldn’t get any traction simply because unlike Clinton and Obama he was not a corporate tool. The Democratic Party machine is […]

Bill Richardson Ends Presidential Bid

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

A.P. via Yahoo.
I am not sure why his campaign never caught on. I guess people wanted more razzle dazzle this year. I thought he was an excellent candidate with generally a decent platform.
I do suspect that he might try for a V.P. slot. If his running mate were to win 2 terms, Richardson would still […]

A Short Reason Why Ron Paul Really Matters

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Ron Prosper is posting a guest bit tonight.
———————————————————————————————
Sure Dr. Paul only got 10% or so in Iowa. That was way more than I expected him to get a state with so many evangelicals.
Thats great but as A.B likes to say “what matters” here is a man who basically wants to dismantle the federal government […]

Dodd Leaves the Race

from his page
Too bad really. I think he would have done a decent job. Ah well at least he will still be fighting telco immunity.

America is Ready for a Woman President

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

America is certainly ready for a woman president but why does it have to be Hillary? She is right wing and authoritarian and tied way too deep into the party machine. Frankly if I wanted those traits in a candidate I’d vote Republican.
While I look forward to that glass ceiling being broken unless […]

The Ron Paul is a Racist Campaign

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

The linked post at the generally excellent Orcinus blog makes me irritable.
Over the last few weeks there has been a concentrated campaign to smear Dr. Paul as a racist rather than deal with the fact he is a main stream very well heeled candidate now.
No one seems to want to come out and […]
