We talked about campaign finance reform in this episode, a topic I don't think quite gets the attention it deserves. John Samples at the Cato Institute is the campaign finance expert I referenced and you can find out more about him and his work here.
Three quick stories for today:
- The bill being submitted by Rep. Eric Cantor to repeal Obamacare that will be introduced next Wednesday, Jan. 12. You gotta love the title, "Repealing the Job Killing Health Care Law Act." And, it's only two pages long! Maybe Rep. John Conyers will actually be able to understand this piece of legislation without the help of a team of lawyers...
- Another Mike Pence for 2012 floater, this time from Red State. I'm not the biggest fan of Red State so I'm linking the HotAir piece instead, but I am a fan of Pence and if he does end up deciding to run in 2012, he'll probably be the candidate I support early in the race. Of course, it's still early at this point and there's a good chance he ends up running for governor in Indiana to replace Mitch Daniels, so my support may be going elsewhere if that happens.
- From Pajamas Media, How Obama wins again in 2012. A rather depressing look at the numbers in the 2012 election, but there's plenty of time left to change the outlook so don't despair.
-If only the Daily Show would expose liberalism more often, maybe I'd find the time to watch more often. This clip is pretty awesome.

Alright! New Mics! But, wait...now the quality reversed. Where once TLC sounded like it was in a tunnel, now his co-host sounds like it instead..? Oh well. Wait, I'm only allowed to say positive things now, right? - Yay Crest! Colgate can suck it!
ReplyDeleteIn case you are wondering and would like to discuss your above poll in a newer episode, I am the "No" vote. What is TLC's take on the poll question?
I know, we're still working on the technical difficulties, bear with us in the interim. Colgate can indeed suck it bc Crest is the toothpaste that's going to bring my teeth back from the brink of doom.
ReplyDeleteWe'll definitely be discussing 2012 candidates in more depth in an upcoming episode. I would vote for Palin if it was between her and Obama, but I'm not sure if I could support her in the primary depending on who finally ends up running. I'll guess we'll have to wait another few months to see who all throws their hat into the ring.
"so, on one hand your saying you can't do that, but on the other hand...you are doing that?"
ReplyDeleteThat clip was truly awesome.
TLC up and running again, look forward to more in 2011.
