Article I, section 1, of the U.S. Constitution stipulates, All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in the Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Cato Institute: "Forcing Congress to vote on each and every administrative regulation that establishes a rule of private conduct would prove the most revolutionary change in government since the Civil War not because the idea is particularly radical, but because we are today a nation governed, not by elected officials, but by unelected bureaucrats."
Great treatise on the separation of powers at: http://www.cato.org/pubs/handbook/hb107/hb107-8.pdf

Barbour has signed some questionable legislation into law since being governor of Mississippi. Absolutely without a doubt, legislation that strips citizens of their Habeas Corpus Rights, a Right to a fair hearing, other laws he has approved and signed into law that will now have to go to the Federal Courts to be struck down.
So NO, I do “NOT” trust his judgment on anything.

Plus the media template has already been written.
Boss Hogg and his ties to "Big Power".

The Greens, as exemplified by the EPA, are one of the two most dangerous fuehrers of the commu...er, uh democrat party today and will implement Stalinist controls over the population everytime they are allowed to do so. The unions, the enablers of things like ACORN, are the storm troopers of the movement. They will apply the green boot to your neck. Destroy private property rights, and you destroy the middle class.
Kudos to anyone who works to reign in the environmental stalinists.

Ahhh.. today’s first winner.. So who do you support? Sarah Palin, who as governor orchestrated the rewriting of legal contracts as well as leveling left-wing “windfall profits tax” on those who she didn’t like.
I find it amazing that the Palin Bots will ninnypick every candidate for the one position they disagree with them on, but when it comes to the gargantuan number of flaws their own candidate at, they dismiss.
Haley Barbour has been an outstanding governor for the state of Mississippi and would make a fantastic President. Unlike The Quitter so many around here want to annoint Queen.

The Utah legislature passed a similar piece of legislation not too long ago.

Boss Hogg and his ties to "Big Power".And this makes him evil, how?
Obama might be promising nuke plants in our future, but his previous policy statements and positions suggest otherwise.
"Boss Hogg" as you so elequently refer to him wants to see that the EPA and their goons in the environmentalist movement don't stand in the way of renewed interest in long term energy production occurs in this country.
The EPA is responsible for this nation being dependent on foreign sources of energy.

Didn't say it made him evil and I didn't say he hadn't been a good governor (however he may need to clarify his position on personal property rights).
My point is that the MSM is going to lampoon any Republican contender.
Not saying that you are one of them, but people on this thread have no problem calling Palin a quitter when the Dems were handcuffing her ability to govern and driving her farther and farther into debt, but get a mad on when their favorite candidate is caricatured in a similar manner.

Like when you referred to him as "Boss Hogg"? I believe he was speaking aloud what he supposed was in the NYSlimes writer's head. (And I agree with that supposition...)

Maybe you should have a framed copy of Reagan’s 11th Commandment hanging on your wall next to the computer workstation.

I’m with the Governor. I’m against the expansion of government powers over the individual and the individual states that make up this great nation.

Just to be clear, I’m not agreeing that Barbour IS “Boss Hogg”, only that the NYSlimes writer has set up a template painting Barbour AS “Boss Hogg”.
And I think the original FReeper you replied to (too lazy to look back) is probably roughly in the same boat.
To: Yossarian
The NYSlimes template was my point.
Gotta say, that regardless of how good a governor Barbour has been we in Alabama still say "Thank God for Mississippi" :)
