RNC Trying to Find Themselves

Today's must-read:  Why Government Can't Run a Business.

 

Another billionaire (achiever) is leaving New York due to taxation.  President Obama would be wise to take note.

 

The federal government is already rationing health care under Medicare.

 

Tax cheat Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says that the so-called private-public bank help will begin in 6 weeks.  I wonder how much intimidation is involved in this?

 

This is a letter from a Dodge dealer who will be shut down.

 

The United Auto Workers are not thrilled about the idea of having control over the automakers.  They're not in the business of making money.  With the new, tougher CAFE standards the Obama Administration really has gone too far in taking over the auto industry.

 

The new CAFE standards will only be effective if gas prices get high again, because otherwise people will buy larger vehicles not subject to those standards.  They'll pay more for them, but that's what the American people want.  The new standards could kill more Americans than the Iraq War.

 

Iran had a successful ballistic missile test today.  At what point do we start taking these guys seriously?

 

Democrats are trying to get a bailout for minority-owned broadcasters.

 

House Democrats have hired a speed-reader to read the 946-page cap and trade bill.  They want to get this thing passed this week.

 

The Republican National Committee is having a special meeting to, in part, consider a resolution to call the Democrat Party the "Democrat Socialist" Party.  RNC Chairman Michael Steele spoke yesterday, promising to take on President Obama head-on and for the Republicans to emerge as the party of new ideas.  I'm still waiting on those ideas.

 

If you want to pass something, you can always count on the laziness of elected officials like they did in Louisiana.

 

Some people are trying to draft State Rep. Austin Scott to run against Jim Marshall next year.  His chances for success are significantly better there than in his run for Governor.

 

Macon and Bibb County held a forum on the pandemic flu yesterday.  Less than 10 people showed up.

 

Mayors Reichert and Walker met last week.  I hope Mayor Walker told Reichert to keep their gangs in Macon.

 

Oops:  WMAZ's satellite truck tore down some traffic lights in Macon yesterday.

 

Part of I-16 will be closed over the weekend because a tractor-trailer hit a bridge.
