Good for Allen. Someone who can stand up to the dimwitted left. Go Allen. Tell them like it is. We need more of that kind of talk.

The Binny tape IS old news, Allen is a smart man. Anyone got a transcript of Reid's apology?

[Jhensy]

That's our boy!

ALLEN 2008.

[twigs]

Wow! What a combo! I like it!!

Did you hear that the Dems chose the newly elected governor of Va to deliver the Dem response to the SOTU..shows how empty their bench is..

[Arizona Carolyn]

That's good news. I'm really worried about Jon Kyle, a wealty dem is running against him and he's being fed $$$$ in droves by John Kerry and Howard Dean... they are determined to turn AZ into a Blue State... also behind this Navajo running against Rick Renzi...

Sen Allen is my pick for 2008 and has been for a long time as you know. First time in my life I donated to a candidate this far out from the Presidential election for his Senate race.

[Zacs Mom]

I'd like to read it as well ~ pls ping me if you locate it.

Thx!

Dingy Harry Reid is also trying to deflect criticism from himself.

"Send a scanning crew aboard. I want every part of this s**t checked."

[Jack Deth]

He does remind me of the slime ball Senator potrayed in Godfather II in Nevada who had a change of heart about the Corleones after he was found with a dead hooker.

The Senator was played by the great character actor, G.D. Spradlin, Semper Paratus.

Who has made a very memorable career of playing slimy characters. An elegant, very highly polished Steve Buscemi.

Jack.

Good for Allen

[lawnguy]

I don't think he has the charisma to win, but I like anyone who rips into the dingy one.

[FlipWilson]

As someone said above, Reid has an awful lot of dirty laundry in his bag. I think Reid realized that the last thing he wants to do is to start throwing stones from his glass house. I think the Republican strategy is now clear, it will be open season on Reid from soup to nuts. They are going to make him the poster boy for the truly corrupt party in congress.

Indications are that 40 out of 45 sitting Democratic Senators have taken money from Jack Abramoff or his clients.

‘There is no question that Jack Abramoff is a problem - a problem for Republicans and a problem for Democrats,’ said Joe Cannon, Utah Republican chairman. ‘One of the biggest beneficiaries of Jack Abramoff is Harry Reid.’

"Reid received about $61,000 in donations from American Indian tribes represented by Abramoff".” (Matt Canham, “Reid drops by to push ethics reform package,” Salt Lake City Tribune, January 12, 2006)

Also of interest, based upon info retrieved the Campaign Finance Analysis Project Website, Political Money Line and the IRS website, the National Rebublican Senatorial Committee website reports:

Dick Durbin (D-IL) Received At Least $14,000
Chuck Schumer (D-NY) Received At Least $29,550
John Kerry (D-MA) Received At Least $98,550

Yes, that's been all over the news today.
And today, our new governor is about to propose new taxes when the state is projecting a $1B+ surplus!

[iceskater]

Richmond ping for Senator Allen.

[VA_Gentleman]

I've always liked Senator Allen. I saw him at my church in Richmond when he was Senator-elect Allen. He just sat amongst everyone else, and couldn't have been any nicer. I like when Allen speaks up. I hope he doesn't lose his spine if he makes a presidential run.

[iceskater]

I like him too. I hope he does decide to run for President.

[iopscusa]

I too think George Allen may be the '08 man, but there's a lot of territory to cover yet in '06-'07...and he is a Senator not a Govenor.

[iceskater]

He was governor of Virginia. Now, he's senator from Virginia.
And one day, I hope he'll be president from Virginia.
