>> “national defense, one of the GOP’s oldest (and most successful) cudgels against Democrats.”

Ironically, the most important and pressing responsibility government is assigned, but unfortunately, one that is lost in the mire of politics.

How soon before Obama tells GM and Chrysler to cut their support for NASCAR?

Give him hell VP Cheney. It is about time someone had the guts to do it.

Good question. Stopping NASCAR seems like a natural for liberals, doesn’t it? It represents all sorts of things they despise. Of course, it would open a few people’s eyes as to the real character of the poser in the White House.

I’ve been thinking this for some time. NASCAR is a sizable group of participants and fans. Most lean to the right and races are place for the exchange of opinions and ideas. Today, it’s all dependent on sponsorship. If Obama tells GM and Chrysler to eliminate their advertising budget specifically in support of NASCAR, what happens? Does that kill off NASCAR because it now has to turn to foreign sponsorship? Will we see Honda, Fiat, Kia, etc jump in to fill the gap? And who will go to a race if there’s no good natured Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge banter? I’m willing to bet Emanuel and Axelrod would love to bust up the NASCAR voting block...

I’m headed to Dover weekend after next for my one race this year. I’ll throw out the question about what if Obama yanks sponsorship by GM and Chrysler.

Missed this yesterday.

We need to do more to get the Democrats concerned about 2010.

Looking at some notes on the bond vigilantes.

Thanks Ernest.

Hey, they're already terrified; maybe we need to lull them into a false sense of security. ;') I know -- let's all bitch about how every Pubbie is really a RINO, then in a brilliant nonsequitur complain how the Pubbie party isn't conservative anyway, and tell them all we're never voting ever again unless it's for some obscure minor party.

Vice President Cheney may have done more good for the long run then we at first may have envisioned. Zero will slowly go to pieces as his cronies screw everything up, to a point the L/MSM will not be able to protect this clowns.
