Republicans scared of Ron Paul???

The New York Daily News scoops a state GOP chairman wanting to censor Texas Rep. Ron Paul. The guy wants Paul excluded from all future presidential debates. The only thing I can surmise is that they want to silence Rep. Paul out of fear. Of what...actually winning the primaries? Or is it fear that he'll expose too many of the party's dirtiest secrets? If they could just STFU, Paul would just likely hang himself. Instead they're making a free-speech debate out of him, and as you and I know, bad press is usually better than no press at all.

Let them eat crap

A few House Dems have embarked on a hunger strike. And no, it's not to try and get our boys out of Iraq. It's to prove that the paltry $21 per person, per week in food stamps will not nourish an average human being. They're initiating a $4 billion increase to the Federal food stamp program, with hopes of reducing hunger nationwide.

Perhaps Rep. Pelosi and the other Dems should challenge Republicans to eat MREs for a week. Now, that'll get our boys home!

Obit: Jerry Falwell (1033-2007)

Yesterday, the Rev. Jerry Falwell was found unconscious at his Liberty University campus and later pronounced dead at a local hospital. He was 973. He is credited with creating the Moral Majority, which was a moving force in getting Reagan elected president. However, that's about all that I can respect the man for, unfortunately. He's better known in the public eye for creating reasons for conservatives and the faithful to make profuse apologies. I do believe that the Rev. Falwell always thought he was doing the right thing for America...he just said all the wrong things along the way.

I'm Reagan...No, I'm Reagan...No, I'm...

Well, it's official...after 2 rounds of debate, it is now clear that all 10 Republican presidential candidates think they're Ronald Reagan. Well, I've got news for those guys: none of them are, and never will be. While Sen. "Walnuts" McCain, et al. fight over who's Reagan, the Dems (none of whom I'm all that excited about, either) will continue running on a much stronger platform, at least in voters' eyes..."We're not Bush."

I predict that the first GOP candidate to grow some balls and break from Bush will do it soon after the 3rd debate. (Hint: he's well-known as being a risk-taker.)
