   The best theme the Republicans had in 2000 was “Time for the Adults to take charge.” We can thank the Democrats for reminding the nation why they voted for Republicans in the first place. Now please let everyone try not to to much spectacularly foolish while the Democrats are busy making themselves look like idiots.

    Democrats have always liked the idea of talking tough but they have never been tough. It’s hard to be tough when you pander to every group imaginable and have to get clearance from politically correct police before you do anything. I’d argue the only thing they are genuinely tough on is George W. Bush but that’s in word only because he’s kicked their ass on just about everything in 2007. Wimp Harry and San Fran Palosi probably spent more time in therapy talking about how badly GW and the Republicas treated them than they did working on anything for the country. They are king and queen of the Dems Do Nothing Congress.

    As the unpaid researcher for MM.com and HA.com, let me add something to Mr. Rollin’s resume. Right after Christie Todd Whitman was elected governor of New Jersey, Rollins was in the midst of taking credit for the win when he couldn’t resist tossing out this Clintonian size tall tale. He said he passed around the dough to the “Black preachers” and ministers and churches and kept the African-American vote total down. In addition to the utterly unethical and cynical nature of his claim, it was pure baloney. It was absolutely amazing. Rollins fessed up to unethical, cynical, possibly racist and just possibly illegal conduct, and he was making it all up. What person in his right mind would fess up to behavior that makes him look like a total fool and on top of that, the stuff he fesses up to is complete fiction? If Huckabee wants this clown on his payroll, Huckabee should be asked about Rollin’s silly behavior. Rollins worked on the Perot campaign in 1992 for about two weeks. What does that say about both Perot and Rollins? Well, maybe those two kooks deserve each other.

    I feel like a one person research company.

    The Best Republican Presidential Candidate for 2008

    Former Senator Fred Thompson is the only real conservative in the race for the Republican nomination, and the only candidate who can unite all three pillars of the Republican Party, namely, fiscal conservatives; national security and defense conservatives; and religious conservatives.

    The Republican party, given that the nation is divided, cannot afford to alienate any of these pillars, or they will lose in the general election, as a sufficient number of the alienated pillar’s constituents will simply not cast a vote for president when they vote. This is not an attempt to intimidate Republican voters, but merely a recognition that there are certain conservative voters who simply will not violate their own principles and vote for someone they have fundamental disagreements with, or do not trust. For example, Governor Romney, has not provided a satisfactory answer in the minds of many religious conservatives in his efforts to explain the change from pro-choice to pro-life. They want to know the motivation, and need to be convinced that it was not political. This matter remains unresolved, and thus alienates a proportion of religious conservatives who would otherwise support him as the party’s nominee – regardless of his own religious persuasion. Mayor Guiliani also has a similar problem with religious conservatives, given his personal position on abortion; and promising to appoint strict constructionist judges will not vitiate the conflict with pro-life constituents. Religious conservatives will not vote for a pro-choice Republican nominee – even if it means electing Senator Clinton president. They will not violate a moral conviction. They will simply adopt the attitude – God’s will be done, and maintain their conviction. Governor Huckabee alienates fiscal conservatives as a result of his tax and spend policies during his tenure in Arkansas. Senator McCain, terminally severed his relationship with a proportion of national security conservatives through his aggressive support of the proposed comprehensive immigration agreement, which failed as a result of a citizens’ uprising against this legislation; his opposition to the tax cut policy of the Bush Administration; and his opposition to aggressive interrogation techniques on high value captured terrorists.

    Senator Thompson has none of the foregoing problems. Read why at:

    EDWARDS’S PUGILISTIC populism (which John Tabin captured brilliantly last week) is an absurd spectacle to witness in person. I’ve never heard so much macho talk coming from an adult since I used to watch the WWF as a kid.

    His closing argument is that, “I will fight for you with every fiber of my being,” and he spent the speech explaining why we needed a fighter, why he is itching for a fight, and why he can kick the butts of corporations because his father taught him to stand up to street toughs when he was a young boy.

    Silky, Silky, Silky. It does not work for you.

    You have hands, eyelashes and hair most women would covet. What are you going to do, work up the courage to scratch someone’s eyes out?

    Has anybody pointed out that the reason insurance companies are making medical calls is that the government transferred that power to them via their ham-handed health care “reforms,” fought for by quasi-socialist pinheads like Edwards?

    What health care needs most is for guys like Edward to butt out, for the government to butt out, and let the market work its magic with direct payments from patient to doctor, the individual patient determining his/her own health care plan, if any, and carrying it with him/her from job to job.

    Hospitals will find it hard to charge patients $20 for a bandaid when the patients are paying the bills directly. However, you can be sure that there will be plenty of twenty buck bandaids in any plan a shyster trial lawyer like Edwards cooks up.
