Why don’t the do the same with Obama? He’s got less “testing” than nearly any candidate they could have selected.

I’m waiting for the ad as we type. Title it UNPROVEN.

If politicians want to curtail the influence of lobbyists, the most effective method open to them is to limit the reach of the federal government and thereby reduce the spoils that fuel lobbyists.

Amen, brother!

For those politicians who use populist demagoguery to demonize lobbyists, though, the act of making lobbyists their closest advisers represents a special kind of hypocrisy. That doubles when the same politician routinely demonizes the industry that employed the lobbyist, and increases exponentially when said lobbyist worked for several industries castigated by the candidate.

Hopenchange strikes, again! NOT!

He’s just another in a long line of pandering members of the political class.

If politicians want to curtail the influence of lobbyists, the most effective method open to them is to limit the reach of the federal government and thereby reduce the spoils that fuel lobbyists.

Here, here!

This point should be made over and over every day, since it goes to the root of what is wrong with government today: too much power over far too many aspects of an individual’s life in America.

some Democrats in Congress want to put on the brakes, saying it has not been adequately tested.

BUILD THE WALL…..DEPORT THEM ALL!

Yep.

While the house is buring down is not the best time to reflect on new wallpaper designs.

Lets hope Obama and McCain both crash and burn so we can start over and elect candidates that aren’t in the tank for amnesty.

It looks like a great demonstration of that old Western aphorism: All hat, no cattle.

All mouth and trousers

I’d have to be an idiot liberal to not expect this!!!

I just hope Obama holds it together long enough to get to Denver.

If he implodes badly, as it looks like he’s going to, we could see a McCain vs. Clinton campaign after all.
