Did all you Protectionists out there hear Rush in that last segment? Protectionism exacerbated the Great Depression.

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff also made Ben Stein a cultural icon.

I know--that's the first time I'd ever heard of it! I had no idea how significant it was that Ben Stein chose that subject for his "lecture" in that role.

That kind of democrat would never win anymore. Look at Joseph Lieberman.

Protectionism exacerbated the Great Depression.

It sure did. It hurt our trading partners' economies, too, spreading the depression to other countries.

McCain wants to appoint judges in the image of Alito and Roberts

McCain specifically said he would NOT appoint someone like Alito because he wore his conservatism on his sleeve - as if that were a bad thing. He also voted for Ginsburg without blinking his beady little eyes.

You go ahead and vote for Obama, I'll do the grown up thing and vote for McCain.

You are already NOT doing any like an adult. More like a liberal - using insults and assumptions. But then, your candidate is one also, so it's not in the least surprising.

The AmericaFirst Party wants to have a ‘BUY AMERICAN’ policy - they want to be PROTECTIONIST. I just sent them an E-mail about that.

I know some otherwise good conservatives that are always ranting against free trade. I try to correct them, but it falls on deaf ears.

I agree with LS. I am not sure that McCain will actually use his power to make sure a true conservative ends up on the SCOTUS. Will he nominate a few? Sure. Will he fight for them? If his legislative pandering to the most liberal of Dems like Feingold and Kennedy is any sign, I am not encouraged by a President MCain.

DC Republicans aren’t listening to Rush, as I predicted, they will move further left after last night.

From NBC’s Mike Viqueira
Lots of very glum faces among House GOP members this morning as they emerged from their weekly closed-door session. The political situation is not good, and they aren’t even trying to deny it.

Rep. Tom Davis stomped on the concrete floor of the Capitol basement when asked by reporters about Republican fortunes at the moment.

“This is the floor,” he said, by way of explanation. “We’re below the floor.”

Inside the meeting, Davis had just presented his colleagues with what he said was a 20-page memo outlining his prescription for a way out of this mess. He did not offer details to the press, yet did not spare the party and the president scathing criticism in his public comments.

“The president swallows the microphone every time he opens his mouth,” Davis said.

He believes Bush’s staunch opposition to the Democratic housing bill and the SCHIP bill, for example, is hurting rank and file. Look at yesterday’s vote on the SPRO, where Republicans defied the president in droves. Lo and behold, the White House says today that it will not veto the bill.

Today is also the day when the House takes up the farm bill, which the president has promised to veto. It’s expected that this will become the second veto of Bush’s administration to be overridden — though the farm bill has more of a parochial dynamic than the national political one.

Asked if he thought there should be a change in House GOP leadership, he brought up the 2006 election and the loss of Congress, then wondered aloud why, when “the plane is being flown into the mountain,” there has been no change in direction.

A major target of internal GOP criticism is Rep. Tom Cole, who runs the House campaign arm of the party. He emerged to tell reporters that there is “concern” within the party, yes, but, looking for a silver lining, he pointed out that John McCain is running far ahead of the generic GOP approval rating. He then spoke of the need to “re-brand” the party in the likeness of McCain, which may be a tall order, since many rank-and-file conservatives have reviled McCain for years for his transgressions against party orthodoxy.

The parlance of marketing has, of course, overrun the business of politics (and news media), and here again Cole spoke of the unpopularity of the GOP “brand.” He says, as does House GOP No. 2 Roy Blunt, that the Democratic candidate yesterday in Mississippi, Travis Childers, is pro life and pro gun.

“Both candidates ran for what Republicans are for,” Blunt pointed out. That leaves open the question of why the Democrat won the race. The “brand” is the most common explanation.

House GOP leaders huddle at 11 a.m. today. That will be watched closely for any possibility of a coup or insurrection against leadership in the wake of this third consecutive loss of a GOP seat.

I agree. JFK, too, would be too conservative for the Dems today. I just want McCain to leave the Republican Party, few of whose values he supports, and join the Democrat Party, where he'd fit in nicely except for his pro-war stance. And even there he's be in agreement with the Dems on torture and Guantanamo.

Bob Novak tBob Novak told the Friends this morning that Clinton Inc. has a bomb to drop on Barry...they are still shopping it around.

Interesting. Why don't they leak it to Drudge. I'm sure he'll take it.

Heck, Clinton inc. give it to me and I'll blog it.
