Rob Simmons

Rob Simmons is Connecticut's other challenger for the Senate in 2010.

Some of his talking points from his website are:

* Rob is a strong fiscal conservative who voted against the Connecticut state income tax, supported the 2001 and 2003 federal tax cuts, and opposed the “stimulus” package and failed bailouts.

* Rob has been a loyal and tireless workhorse for our local and state GOP committees and candidates for many years.

* Rob will bring honor and integrity to the U.S. Senate. In 1998, Rob received the Knowlton Award for "Integrity, Moral Character, Professional Competence and Selflessness" in recognition of his contributions to the Military Intelligence Corps.

* Rob was appointed by Governor Rell as Connecticut’s first Business Advocate. For two years he worked to support our state’s small businesses and to make Connecticut friendlier for job creation.

When he announced his candidacy the Washington Post immediately implied he would be unpopular with the voters due to having held a seat in Congress during the last years of Republican rule. Considering that since 2006 the Democrats have made a hash of the economy and are running record deficits and record unemployment among other things, his past record is something to be proud of.

Linda McMahon enters the Ring

It is not enough on our part to keep pointing out the follies of the current "regime." We need to start advancing positive agendas, illustrate the ideas that will move us forward from the foetid atmosphere currently surrounding us, and promote the people who need promoting.

Linda McMahon is one of the challengers to Chris Dodd for the Senate in 2010. This is not an endorsement at this time - but her initial message is worth putting out there:

"Chris Dodd has lost his way. He's helped engineer trillions in new spending and staggering new debt. He wants to ram through government-run health care that will mean longer lines, nationed care, and the end of the protected doctor-parent relationship. He's helped himself and the special interests - at our expense - through his back room deals, political favors, and sweetheart home loans. Connecticut deserves a Senator that isn't bought or paid for by the banks and special interests. The era of favors and back room deals must end.

He's lost our trust. It's time for him to go - Linda

Quick, Who Said This?

Quick who said this? (He was a Republican by the way)

"...where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

So here we are in the next millenium - and it appears these noble words have been twisted to mean:

"we will always judge you by the color of your skin because you dislike the content of our character."

Setting us up for the Glue Factory

Obama's foreign policy is like reading a Charles Atlas ad in reverse.

It won't be any surprise when we get the sand in our face.

Bury that Acorn!

The New York Times gamely holds it nose high as it tries to step around the Acorn pile. Buried on page A14 they sniff that conservatives have been attempting to tar the Obama campaign with accounts of voter fraud and other
"transgressions."

Considering that of the 1.3 million new votes Acorn came up with in their voter drives during the last presidential campaign, almost a third were rejected as fraudulent. One would have to say fraud is indeed an appropriate word.

For an account of Acorn's activities, check out this confirmed list of "transgressions.
