State GOP praises Cong. Jeff Flake for standing against runaway spending...

State GOP Critical of “Pork Spending” Extension
Pullen praises Flake for standing against runway spending

Phoenix, AZ – Randy Pullen, chairman of the Arizona Republican Party and Congressman Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) were both critical today of a move by congressional Democrats to extend the earmark request deadline by six weeks.

“The tax and spend Democrat house leadership gave six more weeks to dream up more earmarks – but when was the last time Congress gave taxpayers six more weeks to pay their tax bill,” asked Pullen. Rather than going on yet another spending spree, Democrats should walk the talk on fiscal responsibility that they continuously preached before the November elections.”

Pullen continued, “While the Democrats in Congress continue to spend like drunken sailors, we in Arizona are fortunate to have leaders like Jeff Flake who has been a steadfast supporter of earmark reform. I applaud Jeff’s efforts and know that he will continue to fight against irresponsible spending in Washington.”

Congressman Flake said, “Despite what they said during the last campaign cycle, it doesn’t look like pork barrel projects are going to end with the Democrats in charge. It’s just business as usual."

On Wednesday, Appropriations Chairman Dave Obey (D-Wisconsin) extended the date U.S. House members must submit their requests for special projects by six weeks to April 27th.

So you think Sen. McCain is too old huh Shane?

One of the local bloggers calls Sen. John McCain an old man.

Well I guess Ronald Reagan was old too, what did he say to Walter Mondale?

"I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience." -during a 1984 presidential debate with Walter Mondale.

Owl Gore's "Inconvenient Lie"

Interesting article on the 'Drudge Report' about movie mogul Owl Gore and his hypocrisy about being so 'green' on the environment. His documentary, or should we say "Work of Fiction", An Inconvenient Truth, won an Academy Award (guess fantasy is big this year?). Gore uses more fuel in his Tennessee home than the average American uses in a whole year. Not only this, but what about your airplane Owl? All of these "greenies" might be more convincing if they all gave up their cars, planes, and huge mansions which use huge amounts of fossil fuels to heat/cool. Talk about hypocrites?

Hollywood abandoning H. Rotten Clinton....

Poor H. Rotten....her liberal Hollyweird pals are abandoning her in droves. A weekend fundraiser, led by former Clinton pal, Dreamworks co-founder David Geffen, for Illinois Sen. OBama Bin Laden (my "nickname" for Barak Obama) raised over $1.3 Million for OBL's run against H. Rotten.

Could you imagine what the Clinton house was like this last weekend when the news of this came out? (No wonder 'Bill' lives in NY, H. Rotten in Wash D.C.). She must have gone 'nuclear'?

The OBL vs H. Rotten War (sorry for the PMSNBC Link) is going to be fun to watch. The democrats (notice I NEVER use a capital "D") eating their own is great news for Republicans. So much for OBL being HR's Vice President...LOL!

Hollyweirdo's love Bill, they don't love Hillary and it's starting to show...

JOHN SHADEGG DENOUNCES RESOLUTION THAT BETRAYS OUR ALLIES AND EMBOLDENS THE ENEMY

Congressman John Shadegg - "The consequences of withdrawing from Iraq before Iraqis can defend themselves are dire, and this resolution ignores the fundamental issue that Iraq is part of the larger war against radical jihadists."

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman John Shadegg (R-AZ) made the following statement regarding today's vote on the Iraq resolution: "Following repeated claims by jihadist leaders that America will lose it's will to win in Iraq as it did in Vietnam, Beirut, and Somalia, the U.S. House of Representatives today, confirmed our enemies' claims by passing a politically posturing, "non-binding" resolution that emboldens our enemies, betrays our allies in Iraq, and signals our intent to abandon our troops fighting overseas."

"This resolution will have grave and far reaching consequences that will ultimately lead to the deaths of more Americans and innocent Iraqis. It sends a message of weakness that serves to encourage our enemies to hang on a little longer and keep up the fight. Our enemies have openly declared their intent to kill us. If we do not defeat radical jihadists in Iraq, where we will we defeat them? If not now, when?"

"In this debate I repeatedly tried to point out that our troops are fighting a war that is broad in scope and that Islamic jihadists will not stop attacking us even if America withdraws from Iraq. The limited debate proposed by Democrats implies otherwise, and puts America at great risk. Withdrawal from Iraq will send a clear message to our allies and to friend and foe alike that American cannot be trusted to keep its word when confronted with danger and adversity."

"The consequences of withdrawing from Iraq before Iraqis can defend themselves are dire, and this resolution ignores the fundamental issue that Iraq is part of the larger war against radical jihadists. This only further proves the point that the Democrat majority fundamentally misunderstands the threat we face. Somewhere deep in the caves of Afghanistan and across the Middle East, Osama bin Laden and his jihadist allies are watching, smiling, and plotting their next attack."

Al 'Qaeda' Franken to run for Senate seat in Minnesota?

Crazy Al 'QAEDA' Franken, the former Air America poster boy for liberals, has announced his intention to run against Republican Incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman in the 2008 elections. Franken, who was born in MINNN-A-soTA, will have challengers for the Democrat nomination. He will have a tough time explaining his 'Hollywood' style politics to the people of MN. This will be a interesting race to watch!

Why John McCain will be the next President despite the Bloggers...Part 1

Framer over @ the Arizona 8th Blog has an excellent post today about the Bloggers and John McCain. He is dead on in his article, the Blogoshphere does NOT support Sen. John McCain in his campaign for President. But I politely disagree with him on how this all plays out in the upcoming campaign.

Team McCain has held a conference call with prominent Bloggers this week (Feb 7th), the David All Group posted about it on their Blog (No I was not one of the Bloggers invited, darn!). The McCain folks realize just what Framer says, Blogs are an important part of a 21st Century Political campaign. Remember the Internet Groups from 2004 that helped President Bush win re-election?

The problem I see is that we Bloggers sometimes think what we write is important. I think it is, I read all the Blogs, most Bloggers do. But how many people really read these Blogs? I know here, we get an average of 500 hits a day, which is great, but in the huge realm of the Internet, it's nothing.

The next President is going to be faced with a great deal of tough decisions that must be made. Like him or not, Sen. McCain has never been one who is afraid to make the tough choice. For instance, look at McCain's stance on 'Earmarks'. This has been a 20+ year crusade that Sen. McCain has fought for, beginning back when he was a Congressman.

That is just one example of many that make Sen. McCain the best candidate to face off against Sen. H. Rotten Clinton, the Dems anointed choice at this time. Blogs will definitely be an important part of the 2008 campaign, but not the deciding factor. More on this in later posts....

The Republican version of 'John Kerry'?

Former MA governor Mitt Romney, in a story out today , strongly criticized campaign-finance regulations in a private meeting with House conservatives last week, once touted dramatic restructuring measures such as taxing political contributions and placing spending limits on federal campaigns.

Romney has also had to answer his 'flip/flop' on his abortion stance. Do you sense a pattern here? Some of Romney's defenders say he was just saying these things to get elected in a very Liberal state (MA). I don't buy it!

Sounds like Romney will say whatever it takes to get elected. Sen. John McCain is often criticized for his views, but at least the man sticks to them, unlike Mr. Romney.
