Rove is not exactly without influence inside the party structure.

All the while, they continue to insist there even is such a thing as life without parole in California. One compelling argument for capital punishment is that when it's carried out, the seemingly-interminable appellate process is over. We're still only about halfway through the appellate process for the serial-killer who murdered and dismembered at least twenty-five young women from San Francisco to Calaveras County. He was convicted in 1998.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-37960860892964774412010-04-01T21:17:36.725-04:002010-04-01T21:17:36.725-04:00Lawhawk.

Like so many other things the left slowly injects into our society, they want the felons voting, and if they're dead, they can't vote (except in Chicago). Support for the death penalty still runs high in this state, but it is slipping slightly. I think part of that is because "if we don't use it, we lose it." They tie up death penalty cases for decades, blunting the whole point of the penalty.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284025222779154243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-37187004263150832442010-04-01T21:11:50.264-04:002010-04-01T21:11:50.264-04:00HamiltonsGhost: I publicize them because I'm ...HamiltonsGhost: I publicize them because I'm glad, the <i>Chronicle</i> reports them because they're shocked. Either way, things are looking up. I really don't expect California ever to be a conservative state again (at least until we get government handouts and illegal immigration under control), but a move to the center would be an immense improvement.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-87702827908226533592010-04-01T21:08:03.923-04:002010-04-01T21:08:03.923-04:00Lawhawk-- That's the second time I've bee...Lawhawk-- That's the second time I've been surprised by large gatherings near San Francisco that are not leftist hatefests (the other was the Tea Party in Marin County).

But it's not exactly the end of the world either, and the fact that Republicans go to strip clubs probably picks us up votes in the other party. <br /><br />Actually, the person who approved the expenditure and got fired was a woman. I think Rove temporarily forgot the Eleventh Commandment, and he does indeed need to concentrate on Obama, not Steele. Still, it won't cost the Republicans any votes, and I'm sure expenditures now have Steele's attention.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-60405670336150971262010-04-01T19:40:28.545-04:002010-04-01T19:40:28.545-04:00WriterX: I have just the cat for you.

Was it a mistake to reimburse this? Absolutely. It showed very poor judgment. But they fired the guy. Now make sure it doesn't happen again and then let's move on -- that's how its done in politics, in business, and in everywhere else. But some people (particularly radio personalities and people with books) are trying to exploit this for publicity. Why is Karl Rove (and others) attacking the RNC over this minor issue when he should be fighting the real problem -- Obama? This is like attacking Eisenhower because the uniforms he gave the troops had smudges on them.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-82796821098952495712010-04-01T18:55:25.900-04:002010-04-01T18:55:25.900-04:00Wow.

Rove's book is second on the NY Times bestseller list, so I've no doubt he's not lost too much sleep over the hypocritical Code Pink and their dorky pink hats.<br /><br />LawHawk, my yard is full of mourning doves. They're everywhere, especially this time of year. I need a big hungry cat.Writer Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16505411188186283813noreply@blogger.com
