I can't argue with you but the stakes are high if she gets in.

How did Brownback's performance compare to the all time embarrassing flop turned out by Allen on MTP this past summer? Since I watched MTP at 9, I'll have to catch this gem at the repeat showing tonight.

I would pretty much grade them the same. See what you think.

What if we nominate a conservative that obviously can't win?

If anyone has an inkling of a desire to support Brownback, watch his poor performance on FNC this morning.

When a caller asked about Rush's opinion about Brownback, his answer was a big laugh.

Tx and I are just shocked. Trivial .. but perhaps telling point. I'm not 100% sure, but it seems like the SHEdevil wore the very *same* outfit to the SOTU AND her Iowa coming out party ..grey, pink, pearls. Whaddya all think? I am speechless, truly, if true: (sorry to blight the thread ;)

Also .. McCain still has tantrum issues. He kinda lost it, when probed too far by Arianna at the Davos summit

I pray that we do not. That is why we simply cannot afford to chose based on a single issue as many "real conservatives" would wish.

So, how many of our "Journalists" on the Sunday Shows bothered to ask any of the usual parade of Senators to comment on this story from Today's Los Angeles Times?

A deal in the desert for Sen. Reid?


Los Angeles Times ^ | 28 Jan 07 | Chuck Neubauer and Tom Hamburger

Posted on 01/28/2007 6:06:30 AM CST by rellimpank

BULLHEAD CITY, ARIZ. — It's hard to buy undeveloped land in booming northern Arizona for $166 an acre. But now-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid effectively did just that when a longtime friend decided to sell property owned by the employee pension fund that he controlled.

In 2002, Reid (D-Nev.) paid $10,000 to a pension fund controlled by Clair Haycock, a Las Vegas lubricants distributor and his friend for 50 years. The payment gave the senator full control of a 160-acre parcel in Bullhead City that Reid and the pension fund had jointly owned. Reid's price for the equivalent of 60 acres of undeveloped desert was less than one-tenth of the value the assessor placed on it at the time.

Six months after the deal closed, Reid introduced legislation to address the plight of lubricants dealers who had their supplies disrupted by the decisions of big oil companies. It was an issue the Haycock family had brought to Reid's attention in 1994, according to a source familiar with the events.

If Reid were to sell the property for any of the various estimates of its value, his gain on the $10,000 investment could range from $50,000 to $290,000.

I'm very impressed with Duncan Hunter ... he's definitely growing on me. Strong, decent man.

Allen on MTP this past summer

The first time I saw Allen on one of these programs, rumors were just starting about his presidential aspirations. I posted that he was not ready for prime time, and I got skewered by a few of his adamant admirers. Now, it is who is Allen?

"Cheney is in charge" must have bee a rat/msm stalking point this week. It's everywhere! My guess is Woof Woof cry babyed to his buddies that "evil Dick Cheneny" beat the tar out of him during his interview(when woof woof asked stupid questions about his(cheney's) daughters pregnancy) and this is a feeble attempt at msm payback. Too bad DMB Cheney could care less.

Their obsession in turning Cheney into an evil dark character working behind the scenes is old hat boring and down right wicked if you ask me.

What has the VP ever done that deserves this hatred. From the digging I have done on him prior to the 2000 election (including things he has said in interviews) he was thought of a genial politician with friends on both side of the aisle and whilst not always agreeing with them he was willing to work with them for the greater good of the country.

I suspect this shift started when he was Secretary of Defense in 41's government and has just got worse with the current BDS.

Does this man look evil or a puppet master

I like Jeb too. He seems to have that something that quiet confidence it takes to win. He is the only pro-life Republican in the race.

Pray for W and Our Troops

Panel discussion on Chris Matthews show about the Hillary/Obama competition. Andrew Sullivan summed up Hillary quite well. To paraphrase:

Polling shows her numbers to be flat over the years. People agree on a lot of her issues, however....they just don't like her and nothing will get them to vote for her.

Kerry Slams US In Davos Summit

There's something about the Davos economic summit that drives American leftists to slam their own country while abroad. Two years ago, Eason Jordan lost his job at CNN over his accusations in Davos that the US military had a policy of assassinating journalists in war zones. Today, John Kerry used the forum to scold the Bush administration for its foreign policy while specifying two issues that predate it:

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry slammed the foreign policy of the Bush administration on Saturday, saying it has caused the United States to become "a sort of international pariah."

The statement came as the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee responded to a question about whether the U.S. government had failed to adequately engage Iran's government before the election of hard-liner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2005.

Kerry said the Bush administration has failed to adequately address a number of foreign policy issues.

"When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy," Kerry said.

"So we have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East - in the world, really. I've never seen our country as isolated, as much as a sort of international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today."

[BEHOLD]

Once again, we have the spectre of Kyoto haunting the Bush administration, when it was the Clinton administration that refused to submit the treaty to the Senate -- and the Senate that unanimously passed a resolution saying they'd never ratify it. The Byrd-Hagel Resolution in 1997 made it clear that the US would not allow itself to be bound by the treaty as long as it exempted India, China, and other developing nations. That's the same position as the Bush Administration has taken -- and the same position that John Kerry himself took in 1997 when he voted in favor of the Byrd-Hagel Resolution.

That's yet another example of the hypocrisy of John Kerry -- but there's more.

He took the time to scold the Bush administration for its lack of effort on AIDS and other diseases in Africa. However, Bush has already spent more on these issues than the last Democratic administration did in eight years. Humanitarian aid to Africa comprised $1.4 billion a year at the end of the Clinton administration, but Bush has tripled that to $4 billion per year -- and wants to more than double it over the next two years:

President Bush's legacy is sure to be defined by his wielding of U.S. military power in Afghanistan and Iraq, but there is another, much softer and less-noticed effort by his administration in foreign affairs: a dramatic increase in U.S. aid to Africa.

The president has tripled direct humanitarian and development aid to the world's most impoverished continent since taking office and recently vowed to double that increased amount by 2010 -- to nearly $9 billion. ...

Bush has increased direct development and humanitarian aid to Africa to more than $4 billion a year from $1.4 billion in 2001, according to the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. And four African nations -- Sudan, Ethiopia, Egypt and Uganda -- rank among the world's top 10 recipients in aid from the United States.

So not only is John Kerry a hypocrite, he's also an ignoramus. However, we have noticed that the Davos forum has become, over the years, a convention of sorts for both. Kerry should feel right at home.

UPDATE II: Glenn Reynolds sums Kerry up in his link back to this post: "Like Jimmy Carter, he'll never forgive America for rejecting him, and he'll console himself with the approval of America's enemies."

In Louisiana:

– There is an insurance crisis that existed pre-Katrina.

– There is healthcare crisis that existed pre-Katrina.

– There is an education crisis which existed pre-Katrina.

– There is an economic crisis (existing businesses are closing or leaving) that existed pre-Katrina.

– There is an out-migration crisis that existed pre-Katrina.

– There is a highway crisis that existed pre-Katrina.

– There is a corruption crisis that existed pre-Katrina.

– There is a coastal erosion problem that existed pre-Katrina.

– There is a inequitable tax code that existed pre-Katrina.

–The “Governor Kathleen Blanco Road Home Program” is a dysfunctional program that was created by Governor Blanco post-Katrina.

How would any of the above problems have been resolved if President Bush had mentioned Hurricane Katrina in his State of Union Speech?

I'll admit, I was taking a long look at Allen last year. I thought the whole Macacca thing was overblown and silly, but his handling of it was poor. The MTP appearance cinched it for me. I was not the least bit suprised he lost to Webb after seeing that flameout.
