Mitt Romney: Champion of Big Government

Carla Howell, President and founder of the Center for Small Government, and the sponsor of the Massachusetts ballot initiative to end the state's income tax wrote this revealing piece published on LewRockwell.com.

[Romney] "took" a "no new taxes" pledge when he ran for Governor of
Massachusetts in 2002. "Took" is in quotes because he refused to sign that pledge. His signature wasn't necessary, he claimed. He assured us that he's a man of his word.

She then demonstrates that Romney is not a man of his word.

Rep. Tom Tancredo: A lightning rod on immigration

From the Chicago Tribune:

While Tancredo's Republican bid is widely regarded as a long shot, the reaction he has received so far in Iowa shows his campaign can't be entirely dismissed, political analysts say. He hasn't left much of a footprint in Congress, and yet, driven by an anti-illegal immigrant wind, he now audaciously has become a single-issue candidate for president, his fists bared as he derides a bipartisan immigration reform plan being debated in the Senate or calls his opponents "soft."

Yes he is a single issue candidate. On every other issue he sounds exactly like the 8 other Republican candidates. But wait...there are 9 other candidates. Thats right, Tancredo sounds nothing like Ron Paul. But if immigration is your number one priority, along with looking for Jack Bauer in case of a national emergency (Tancredo said he would during the Republican Debates) then Tancredo might just be your man.

Dodd announces plan to end the "failed policy in Iraq"

Yesterday Senator Chris Dodd announced his plans to end America's involvment in the Iraq civil war by amending the Defense Authorization bill. According to the Dodd campagin the amendment would do the following:

Immediately begin redeployment of U.S. combat troops.Set a firm deadline for completing redeployment by March 31, 2008.

Provide no additional funding for combat operations after March 31, 2008.

Hold the Bush Administration accountable during the redeployment period by requiring the Secretary of Defense to regularly report to Congress on the drawdown of forces.

Institute measures that would make funding within the redeployment period contingent on the progress of phased redeployment.

Restore the readiness of the military, Reserves and National Guard by transferring portions of monies that would have been available for combat activities.

Clinton defends private jet travel

From the AP:

"Whatever I've done, I complied with Senate rules at the time. That's the way every senator operates," the Democratic presidential contender said in an interview with The Associated Press during a campaign stop in Las Vegas.

Well lets get to the heart of the matter: Global warming. You see what the AP fails to mention in the article is that the emissions from jets are destroying the earth. In fact maybe we should demand that no candidate can use any sort of emissions producing vehicle when campaigning. Wouldn't it be fun to see all of them riding their bikes across the courty.
