In the midst of a crypto-depression, Republican Congressman Mike Pence (R-In) is urging a freeze on all federal spending since "the American people expect us to make hard choices."
Pence has joined Senator DeMint (R-S.C) in drafting legislation that would prohibit the FCC from using any taxpayer money from enforcing any renewal of the Fairness Doctrine. With a gaggle of conservative groups, these two claim that the Fairness Doctrine will be "a massive assault on the First Amendment". This appears to me to be another fund-raising gimmick. Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talk show hosts are mounting a campaign against the Fairness Doctrine. Since the campaigning Obama and the President Obama are on record against reinstating it, where is this new major threat to our civil liberties since Al Qaeda coming from?
Diaper Dave Vitter looks like he has his hands full. Frst a primary challenge from porn star Stormy Dawn and now Tony Perkins--not that one, he's dead-- of the Family Research Council, Bauer's evangelical group.
Conservatives keep hailing Norm Coleman's legal victories in Minnesota but neglect to mention after each one of these court decisions Al Franken's vote count keeps getting bigger. Last night I had a 261 vote lead and today it's up to 275.
Which brings me to John Batchellor's column today where he says that House Republicans sense "an animal weakness" in Obama and they have him where they want him--is this the Norm Coleman School of philosophy? It reminds me of guerrilla movements I have known that brag about the government controlling all the cities--which means they will have to defend them.
The birthers recruited its first active duty officer, Scott Easterling to sign on as a plaintiff in one of the Obama birth certificate cases. If superior officers find out, that's immediate grounds for a court martial.
Republicans may have their own birther problem if Bobby Jindal runs for the Presidency. Apparently, his mother had ended her first trimester with Bobby before she embarked for the United States. Both his parents were immigrants. So does being an Anchor Baby mean you are not native-born?
