Cop Killer Clemmon’s Clemency Kills Gov. Huckabee’s Political Hopes

December 1, 2009 Celebrity News, National News No Comments By SactoDan

Gonna run for President in 2012 Mike? Good luck with that.

huckabeeFormer Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s hopes for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination have been dealt a major blow by his 9-year-old decision to commute the sentence of Maurice Clemmons – the man suspected of killing four police officers near Seattle early Sunday.

“It will be extremely damaging,” said Diana Banister, a Washington-based publicist for Republican causes and candidates. “His GOP primary rivals will use it to their advantage against him.”

Mr. Huckabee, who has led in some early polls for the Republican nomination, faced similar questions during the 2008 Iowa Republican caucuses over the case of Wayne DuMond, another Arkansas convict to whom he offered clemency in 1997 and who subsequently was convicted of murdering a woman in Missouri.

“It will be the Republican version of the Willie Horton issue that GOP surrogates used against Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, the unsuccessful Democratic presidential candidate in 1988,” Ms. Banister said. Read the rest: Washington Times

Budget, Budget, What’s In A Budget?

Yes, Virginia, there just may be a Santa Claus…

As President Barack Obama and his “political organization” are planning to run TV ads in an attempt to convince America that his trillion dollar-plus health care reform is something that must be done this year, Senate Majority Leader, Democrat Harry Reid (NV), basically felt that was “a waste of money” (though an aide later claims Reid does not have a problem with the ads).

Even more damaging than Reid’s initial comment, however, come thoughts from the man of all budgets. … Continue Reading

Social Security & Big Business

July 16, 2009 Blogs, Economy/Energy, Government, National News No Comments By Main Street One

I do not think that anyone is very happy that the Social Security Administration spent some $700,000 on an Arizona get-away, in their words, a motivational management conference.

To me, this type of mindless expenditure for a bankrupt section of the US Government only makes me want to know MORE about other areas of our public arena and their “costs” of doing business in the best interest of Main Street USA.

The Executive Branch has definitely been spending more money than any other administration for being so young. I think that President Obama has appointed more new positions, more new envoys, more new advisors, more new czars than any of his predecessors. (I may be wrong, and, if so, please let me know.) … Continue Reading

Tom Mclintock, Armstrong and Getty, Lou Uhler and others are speaking. There is definately NOT a GOP flavor to this rally. People are sick of earmarks, taxes, waste and not in a partisan way.
