Ft. Hard Knox
29 May 2007If you’re wondering why I haven’t posted lately, there are several reasons. First, my son and daughter in law were here visiting for the Memorial Day weekend. It was great seeing them.

Defeat Lindsey Graham Blog
25 May 2007All the focus these days if the ’08 presidential election. But let’s not forget that there are a lot of other politicians who will be up for reelection in November ’08 as well.

Bipartisan BS
22 May 2007I can’t begin to describe my emotions upon hearing the collective stream of BS coming from the Senate Floor.

President Bush announced that the plan does not grant amnesty but any bill that allows aliens currently in this country illegally to pay a [...]
GOP Debate Analysis – Round 2
17 May 2007Sorry this has taken so long, I still have to make a living and the FairTax posts took some time too. For many two days later may be too late. Be that as it may, here is my take the debate Tuesday night. The first thing that struck me was the contrast between debate one [...]
FairTax Rally Criticisms
16 May 2007Let me preface this by saying I am not disgruntled. As I mentioned in the previous post, I thoroughly enjoyed the FairTax Rally and I complement the organizers. Having said that, I want to offer constructive criticism so the organizers can improve on their success. There were a number of things that could have easily [...]
