“I firmly believe that changing the rules now, and seating delegates from Florida and Michigan at this point would not only violate the Democratic party’s rules of fairness, but also would be a grave injustice. … I knew the rules, abided by them, and ultimately accepted the consequences. Changing the rules in the middle of a [...]
In a letter released on the evening of February 4, 2008, Monday, by Senator McCain’s campaign, Dole strongly defended the senator’s conservative credentials, noting that his voting record is opposed to abortion and supportive of gun-owner rights.
Let’s hear what Senator Goldwater would likely say to some of the nonsense that Senator [...]
Given Senator McCain’s victory in Florida yesterday, the Senator needs to answer a few questions before Super-Tuesday. Unquestionable, someone in their 70s can be President, President Reagan was 69 when he took office, Senator McCain will be 72 when he would take office, if he wins. Senator Clinton and Governor Romney would be 61 in January [...]
Some advice for Mitt Romney or John McCain: approach J.C. Watts as your Vice Presidential running mate for 2008. J.C. Watts is a well known Republican and well liked in the mid-West. He has relative youth (particularly compared to McCain) and is regarding as being a bright guy. Whomever the nominee is, Rudy Giuliani would also [...]
If Senator John McCain loses in Florida or suffers a large defeat on Super-Tuesday, expect that Senator Hillary Clinton will offer Senator McCain the Vice President spot. He might take time to consider it and wait until the convention to announce, but Senator McCain must realize that 2012 will be too late. Will [...]
“No woman is illegal,” Clinton said, to cheers. (http://www.lvrj.com/news/13702902.html)
From someone sworn (as a United States Senator) to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the United States, this is disgraceful. Yet again Hillary Clinton shows her disdain for the laws that she expects everyone else to obey.
A pragmatist is someone who would have compromised with [...]
“And [Buffett] has said, and I think a lot of us who have been fortunate are willing to pay a little bit more to make sure that a senior citizen who is struggling to deal with rising property taxes or rising heating bills, that they’ve got the coverage that they need.” Barack Obama, November 11, [...]
With all the grousing about the AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax) and the plans to “do something” about it, the following factors must be considered. Charles Rangel, Democratic Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee’s plan is to raise taxes (don’t worry, you won’t be left out) elsewhere to “pay for” reducing the AMT. [...]
One might call it ironic that the McCain campaign is faltering due to lack of funds. Ironic because he has helped to silence his own speech rights while limiting everyone else’s. Instead of being free to donate and disclose to a candidate who shares your views, you are greatly limited. McCain suffers [...]
The United States Supreme Court today (in a 5-4 ruling) ruled that some restrictions on speech that were contained in the McCain-Feingold Campaign finance act were un-Constitutional.
While the Supreme Court should have tossed out all restrictions on television ads airing close to elections and campaign funding as contrary to the First Amendment (among other [...]

Oklahoma Attorney General
“I have recently been made aware of a market practice known as ’short selling’ and am amazed that it is legal.” Drew Edmondson, Oklahoma Attorney General, Los Angeles Times, December 18, 2003.
What were the people of Oklahoma thinking electing someone as embarrassing and uneducated as this character?
Jim Jeffords has shown himself to be the Catiline of America for 2001. Airot Parker, Court.com, 5/25/2001
Catiline was the treacherous and degenerate character whose scheming nearly destroyed the Roman Republic and whose licentious ways inspired, by their very profligacy, Cicero’s eloquent oration on virtue, which was subsequently memorized by generations of American schoolboys. No one in [...]
November 20, 2000
The Florida Supreme Court faces a clear choice: Whether to act in place of the Florida Legislature and re-write a statute, thus ignoring the will of the people who voted for the legislators who enacted the legislation, or whether to follow the expressed will of the people by upholding the law as written.
