Democrats against free speech? Naaaaa. Oh, wait…….they hate free speech. If you don’t agree with me that is fine. Check out the video, and look at the fairness doctrine that the Dems have sponsored on Capitol Hill. What?
I wanted to apologize (mainly to myself) for a lack of recent posts. However, I have been writing……I have just been sending it into papers.
That is right! I have the right to free speech! Not to many staffers in politics have that right.
I have been sending my op-eds to the Kansas City Star. I am currently only at 2 written and 0 published. hmmmmmmmmmm. OK, one isn’t actually submitted yet, and they have had the other for only one week………not bad. Rejection is a major part of the op-ed excitement.
At some point in my lifetime I would love to be a member of an editorial board. That would be a great career or section of a career.
Anyway. I will get a couple of posts out this week. In the meantime……..go to http://politicalbear.com and donate $10. I will send you a bear. Soon I will have a page up dedicated solely to the bears.
No Taghaha. my first attempt at stop motion. I think it is pretty good if I do say so myself.
They are here! Pictures of the Bears will be on the website shortly. (hopefully tomorrow)
new video!
Friday’s op-ed “GOP Tax Dilemma” (GTD) by Stephen Moore (great guy) is right on. In GTD Stephen Moore makes the point that the GOP’s message of tax cuts does not poll well with voters.
Of course the message doesn’t poll well with voters. Republicans have done nothing to reign in the fiscal purse strings. If they would have……then my guess is that the polling would be completely different*. Yes they cut taxes, yes the economy grew, but they also spent, let other programs grow, and created one of the biggest entitlement programs of all time.
Moore finishes his article with a great point. He uses part of a quote from Sen. Kyl who “says that if Republicans are going to win in 2008 they have to persuade voters that Democratic tax hikes ‘will make things worse’ for the economy and their own personal finances. Fortunately, this message has added attraction that it’s not just pollster-driven spin. It’s the truth.”
*While I like Rove as a tactician, I think he ruined the tax message as well. He turned the base socially conservative. The base, I could be wrong on this, has historically been fiscal conservatives and the social part was only a faction of that base (a big faction-but only a faction). What Rove saw is that social conservatives vote. They vote in large percentages. Oh well. When that fails…which it will. We will get back our fiscal party again.
