Hell, no. I've been trying to find someone who will pay me for mine.<br /><br />I like your professional voter idea. Particularly since the Democrats already have a stranglehold on academia. This would give them the opportunity to produce only liberal/leftist voters while at the same time expanding government so greatly that unemployment will finally have reached zero. You can't count unemployed Republicans as they will no longer be called unemployed. They'll simply be called "serfs."LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-85637492114628395732010-10-28T23:07:08.921-04:002010-10-28T23:07:08.921-04:00The old brain works a little slow.

With online degree options, you could go to school at a time that works best for you. And meeting your educational goals just got easier, especially with financial aid, tuition reimbursement and school grants available for qualifying students. All of these support methods would be provided by the government to make sure there was no bias being taught in the qualified institutions. Possibly a union could be formed with the requirement of over seeing any miss deeds by a qualified voter or most likely by management.Tehachapi Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-27765146964899145532010-10-28T22:53:03.450-04:002010-10-28T22:53:03.450-04:00LAW HAWK

To qualify you would need a degree to insure that only qualified, educated and objective employees were hired for the position of Qualified Voter. They could have constituents who they would need to explain all issues to in plane language.<br />There would also be the middle management and executive management levels required to see to it that the job was done properly. Possibly we could reduce the unemployed percentage by 100 to 120 percent. <br /><br />This would also do away with parties and the fund raising that currently occupies so much of an incumbents time. All donations would be income for Professional Voters, Inc. As well as by law it would be a requirement for corporations and individuals to donate to insure that Professional Voters, Inc remained viable. We could set a percentage of every ones worth each year as their required donation. Based of course on a sliding scale so that the more you were worth the larger percentage you would be required to donate.<br /><br />Just a thought.Tehachapi Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-19854133240318583262010-10-28T17:54:19.863-04:002010-10-28T17:54:19.863-04:00Here's today's MRC media study that focuse...Here's today's MRC media study that focuses on how the mainstream media "report" on the Tea Party: <a href="http://www.mrc.org/realitycheck/realitycheck/2010/20101026080909.aspx" rel="nofollow">Tea Party Trashing</a>.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-77921592013585635742010-10-28T16:39:11.094-04:002010-10-28T16:39:11.094-04:00rlaWTX: My grandkids always react the same way wh...rlaWTX: My grandkids always react the same way when they walk into my house: "Oh, no!

They stop, urban sprawl, consumerism, pollution/global warming, spreading the wealth (by us using less leaves more for the rest of the world), etc. Not to belabor the point, but all of this emanates from the ‘60s counter culture.

It's cut taxes, cut spending, support business, reduce government. Any Republican leader who opposes that deserves to be ousted. <br /><br />Any newbie who sidetracks that agenda needs to be co-opted and put in his or her place. Politics is the art of the possible. A naive, single-issue Congressman who stalls the major agenda while trying to hold the House hostage to, say, the Fair Tax, can do more damage than all the Democrats put together.<br /><br />Obama came in promising that he would bring people together and make government work for the people. He has not only failed, but his left wing is in open rebellion and his conservatives are defecting. That's a lack of leadership. It's great to be a patriot, and have an important issue that you want to take precedence, but without the rest of the team, you're just a spoiler.<br /><br />It's clear that in this election the big spending Bushies and the Republicans who defied their party's popular votes and went off on an independent tangent are not going to be the new leaders. It will be more conservative, and with a little luck and some common sense, more responsive to the will of the people. But it won't be perfect, nor as conservative as you and I would like. Still, I repeat, the perfect is the enemy of the good. I want a flat tax (or possibly the fair tax). But if I were elected to Congress and derailed other far more immediate and necessary legislation with my single issue, I would deserve to be slapped down by the leadership as much as if I had decided that raising income taxes on the rich was a good idea.<br /><br />As for the RNC, I think they're on a short list prepared by you, me and about half the Republican Party. I hate that Murkowski retained her position, but considering the rancor in Alaska and the narrowness of the race, removing her might have been the move that energized just enough of her former supporters to vote for a woman they think is being picked on. There's enough Republican blood from both camps on the floor without adding to it.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-42664564785102744702010-10-28T13:35:27.623-04:002010-10-28T13:35:27.623-04:00LawHawk,

At least with Coulter, there's never been any doubt where she stood. Goldberg went through the metamorphosis I had to experience in which one day you wake up and say "what the hell have I been thinking all these years?" As an insider, he had to admit that he had been complicit in the jury-rigging of the news on behalf of the bad guys, so in a way I find his position very simpatico. His book "A Slobbering Love Affair" is both hilarious and tragicomic. For those who are not policy wonks or political junkies, I highly recommend it as a look into media bias.<br /><br />The "homeless transformation" was the first time we really caught on. The current turning a pile of s__t into the Taj Mahal White House has been much broader and much more obvious. As transparent as the deception is, the MSM hopes the big lie will be told often enough to make Obama and the Democrats look successful. Their dwindling readership and viewership makes that result less likely by the day.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-10527157455981672062010-10-28T12:42:21.109-04:002010-10-28T12:42:21.109-04:00Hawk - I remember Anne Coulter pointing that out i...Hawk - I remember Anne Coulter pointing that out in her first book (or was it Bernie Goldberg?)

That's why I keep emphasizing leadership and party discipline. I admire the Tea Party's goals, and I welcome disaffected moderate-conservative Democrats to the party. But if Republican leadership (and I don't mean the old Republican Establishment/Rockefeller Coalition) doesn't herd these cats and get them pulling together, within two years we'll be the party of the warring factions that Democrats are now.<br /><br />Unity of purpose and direction and the dismantling of the Obama super-state must be the goal to which all other goals must defer. If we have single-issue newbies and just-for-now ex-Democrats fighting for their individual goals as Republicans instead of a united, cohesive and well-led party, this will be a very short victory indeed.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-54654833240617128392010-10-28T12:25:08.622-04:002010-10-28T12:25:08.622-04:00Joel: That's encouraging, but I don't wan...Joel: That's encouraging, but I don't want to get overly excited about it. Hillary isn't the savior of the Democratic Party even if she would be better than Obama (which isn't saying much). The early surge in the Republican Party in the South in the late 50s and early 60s was the result of the move of segregationist Dixiecrats to the Republicans. I wasn't too pleased about that. Time will tell if the Democrats coming over to the Republican Party on a permanent basis are largely moderate-conservative, or merely temporary Republicans who are ticked off that Hillary didn't win.<br /><br />That said, I'll take 'em. As I've emphasized time after time, in the end what counts is how many "R"s there are in each of the Congressional caucuses. The vast majority of mainstream Republicans are moderate-conservative, so if we have to put up with a few ex-Democrat liberals, a few RINOs and some fluke reactionaries, good party leadership and party discipline can yet accomplish our goals.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-66050415290183092012010-10-28T12:16:15.700-04:002010-10-28T12:16:15.700-04:00Tehachapi Tom: Well, at least now we know where t...Tehachapi Tom: Well, at least now we know where the homeless people went.
