Note to the Repubs:
A TRUE Conservative, well spoken candidate beats the hell out any liberal candidate. The reason we have Obama now is because you didn’t provide one for the last election….Don’t make the same mistake in 2012.
Before he was even appointed his controversial decisions were questionable:
1. Clemency grants given to members of the violent Puerto Rican terrorist groups FALN and Los Macheteros.
3. His Second Amendment views (By far the most important reason for my disgust for this man)
Now we are learning about some omissions of his records prior to him being appointed and confirmed.
Att’y general failed to give legal briefs to Senate
(Reuters) – Attorney General Eric Holder failed to tell the Senate about seven legal briefs he signed when lawmakers considered his nomination to his current job, according to a letter released on Friday.
Two of the briefs involved appeals to the Supreme Court for Jose Padilla, who sought release from a military prison in South Carolina where he was being held after then-President George W. Bush designated him an “enemy combatant.”
Padilla was held in a military brig for three years before his case was moved to a criminal court in Miami, where he was convicted on charges of offering his services to militants.
The Justice Department sent the Senate Judiciary Committee, which vets presidential nominees, a list of briefs that were omitted on Friday. “We regret the omission,” Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich said in a letter to the panel.
Now lets contrast this “oops” and the following “Nothing to see here” by the media, with the John Ashcroft vetting process and subsequent media bashing over everything Ashcroft did as Atty Gen….
Time magazine hasn’t devoted a single article to Attorney General nominee Eric Holder yet. (He’s drawn one short mention since being nominated.) This is a big change from eight years ago, when Time had a blazing cover story on George Bush nominee John Ashcroft. With a close-up of Ashcroft’s half-darkened face peering out with a one-eyed Cheneyesque glare, Time asked SHOULD THIS MAN BE ATTORNEY GENERAL?

FINALLY a California Politician with a clue. I’ve heard of this guy from fellow bloggers, but he’s not widely known in Mexicommiefornia.
Congressman Tom McClintock recently offered remarks in Washington , D.C. to the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Pacific Research Institute that clearly illustrate why California is facing such a large fiscal mess. His beginning joke is so funny because it is so true:
“I know that everybody likes to poke fun at California – but I can tell you right now that despite all of its problems, California remains one of the best places in the world to build a successful small business. All you have to do is start with a successful large business.”
Here is the rest of the speech:
Laugh if you will, but let me remind you that when these policies finish wrecking California, there are still 49 other states we can all move to - and yours is one of them.
I should also warn you of the strange sense of déjà-vu that I have every day on the House floor as I watch the same folly and blunders that wrecked California now being passed with reckless abandon in this Congress.
* We passed a “Cash-for-Clunkers” bill the other day – we did that years ago in California .
* Doubling the entire debt every five years? Been there.
* Increasing spending at unsustainable rates? Done that..
* Save-the-Planet-Carbon-Dioxide restrictions? Got the T-Shirt.
To understand how these policies can utterly destroy an economy and bankrupt a government, you have to remember the Golden State in its Golden Age.
A generation ago, California spent about half what it does today AFTER adjusting for both inflation and population growth.
This seems to be making the rounds, so I’ll help! I plan on doing just this:
I’m An AMERICAN! – Pass It On!

Sending a Message with the Census [Mark Krikorian]
John: I haven’t gotten my letter from the Census Bureau yet asking me to make sure I fill out the questionnaire. But when I do fill it out, I’ll use it to send a message.
Fully one-quarter of the space on this year’s form is taken up with questions of race and ethnicity, which are clearly illegitimate and none of the government’s business (despite the New York Times‘ assurances to the contrary on today’s editorial page). So until we succeed in building the needed wall of separation between race and state, I have a proposal. Question 9 on the census form asks “What is Person 1’s race?” (and so on, for other members of the household). My initial impulse was simply to misidentify my race so as to throw a monkey wrench into the statistics; I had fun doing this on the personal-information form my college required every semester, where I was a Puerto Rican Muslim one semester, and a Samoan Buddhist the next. But lying in this constitutionally mandated process is wrong. Really — don’t do it.
Instead, we should answer Question 9 by checking the last option — “Some other race” — and writing in “American.” It’s a truthful answer but at the same time is a way for ordinary citizens to express their rejection of unconstitutional racial classification schemes. In fact, “American” was the plurality ancestry selection for respondents to the 2000 census in four states and several hundred counties.
So remember: Question 9 — “Some other race” — “American”. Pass it on.
I don’t know about you, but I’m listing my race as “American” and to hell with anyone if they don’t like it. As Krikorian said, “Pass it on.”

Yep sounds good to me…
In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, we owe it to the Democrats to show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown our recent Republican president.Contact Bushwack
