PRO-KELO REPUBLICANS

The nation's Republican mayors, in a closed-door White House meeting last week, nearly unanimously supported the U.S. Supreme Court's Kelo decision permitting local governments to force property owners to sell or give way to private developers.

The GOP mayors, in Washington for the U.S. Conference of Mayors winter meeting, heard a report on the Kelo decision by Dearborn, Mich., Mayor Michael A. Guido. Chairman of the conference's advisory board, Guido opposed undermining the Supreme Court's ruling.

Anaheim, Calif., Mayor Curt Pringle, a former speaker of the California Assembly, objected with arguments that reflected widespread Republican abhorrence of Kelo. Guido insisted the mayors support local government's authority, and not a single additional mayor rose in support of Pringle.

No wonder Congress is dragging its feet on Federal Eminant Domain reform.

Who said republican were conservative. Some are, but many are just power hungry like the rats.

[So Cal Rocket]

It's got to be done at a State or Local level... our national legislators won't do a thing about it.

[mosquitobite]

I had to wonder if this is the way it would come down. Much as I love conservatism, Republicans in power today are no such creatures.

In the pocket of business, and business loves Kelo...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Well, what we need to do is elect more Republicans then < /Sar >

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Why not? As long as they are in control, it's not their property that's threatened.

The only freedom that isn't dead or dying in America these days is the freedom to be a pervert.

No point changing laws when the Nazgul rewrite them to suit themselves.

Who are the four? Not listed in article.

[nickcarraway]

Is tbis even newsworthy?

[TXBSAFH]

Yep

[nickcarraway]

If you read the article, those are the people vehemently in support of Kelo.

[TXBSAFH]

The republican won the last election, the Conaservative lost it.

[taxcontrol]

RINO... the only solution, shoot them down in the primaries.

[TXBSAFH]

Not if you live in TX, the state party will do what ever it takes to keep challengers out of the primaries. That is why we are stuck with Rick Perry.

AKA Anti-conservative Republicrats

Wow. I thought I was the only one here who noticed that.

STOP BUYING VOTES WITH MY MONEY!

If we cut off welfare tomorrow, there would be many fewer jobs Americans refuse to do.

OMG!!!!!!!!!

The Founding Fathers saw fit to affirm our RKBA so that we can affect a recourse to this arrogance of the ruling class.

[TXBSAFH]

I have been increasingly seeing less and less difference between the parties. Both have been bought off by the smae people.
