This guy is the Liberal Mayor of San Fransicso and has endorsed Hillary…We have to let people know that the Democrat Party is for Gay Marriage…We lost in MS the other day the same way we lost the Gov. race here 2 years ago…The Democrats ran a DINO (pro life, 2nd amendment supporter) against a Repub who had his major issues taking away…A small minority who is for Gay Marriage are dominating the majority who are against it because they are making a lot of noise…We have got to make the DINO’s extinct…Otherwise say hello to the permanent Democrat Majority…
Great response to the fabricated lies about the bookshelf cross…(catch the Batman reference at the end)
Ed simply didn’t say that. Watch the interview he did with City Talk and see for yourself. It’s about 28 minutes long and it’s wonderful. Too bad the people spreading yet more fabrications have time to make up stories, but don’t have time to actually watch the interview for themselves. It’s of course easier to repeat something that sounds “juicy” than to actually go to the source and see if it’s true. Not only did Ed not say that, but the spot was filmed in late November and Ed didn’t join our team until December. The whole “floating cross” conspiracy has been especially amusing to the production crew at Dempsey Films in Little Rock (who are not political and who set up the shot) and equally as perplexing to the kind Little Rock family who allowed us to use their home that day for filming and who never realized that their family’s Christmas decorations in their den and the bookshelf that has been in their house for years was really a subliminal religious “Bat-signal” to the insiders (like the one used to summon Batman).
The talk about Huck as Veep continues to grow…At a time when Obama is trying to paint McCain as Bush 3.0 it would help to have another maverick on the team who claimed that Bush had “an arrogent bunker mentality”…
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel said Wednesday he plans to include an anti-animal cruelty bill in his proposed legislation for the 2009 regular legislative session.
“I think it should be a felony to torture a horse, cat or dog, or to torture any animal more than once,” McDaniel said at the annual Arkansas Society of Professional Journalists awards banquet.
Precise legal definitions will be vital to passing any anti-cruelty bill, McDaniel said, adding provisions on cruelty will exclude routine farm and food processing operations.
McDaniel made his plan known on the same day that a Northwest Arkansas legislator unveiled revised legislation that would make cruelty to dogs, cats and horses a felony in the state on first offense.
Sen. Sue Madison, D-Fayetteville, presented her proposal to a joint meeting of the House and Senate judiciary committees at the state Capital.
The attorney said he is developing his proposal independently of any legislative effort.
His proposal would make it a felony on first offense to torture or kill a dog, cat or horse. It would make a felony to kill or torture any type of pet on second offense.
Five states have passed such laws since Arkansas lawmakers rejected a proposal during the 2007 regular session, bringing the total to 45. Forty of them allow felony charges on the first offense, Madison told lawmakers earlier Wednesday.
Madison’s bill handily passed the Senate during the 2007 regular session but died in a House committee in the face of opposition to its felony first-offense provision.
“There’s support for this,” Madison told a lawmakers, noting the House passed a version last year that would make a first offense a misdemeanor and subsequent offenses within five years a felony.
Sue Madison says there is support for this? Where? Last I checked it got defeated in 2002 by a 62% to 38% margin. Thats 462,440 to 281,298 margin. Just because other states are legislating crappy bills doesn’t mean we have to. If the people defeat a bill on the ballot, don’t bring it up again until something has changed, like the will of the people. I’m calling it right now. If this bill is brought up again and you vote for it like it is currently written, prepare to have this used against you in your next race.
Looks like she found someone to do her dirty work…
Williams, one of two candidates for the District 3 Position 2 appeals court post in Tuesday’s non-partisan judicial election, said during a candidate forum April 23 that he tried an average of three felony cases a month when he was a deputy prosecutor.
However, Circuit Judge David Burnett of Osceola, who was prosecutor when Williams was a lawyer in Paragould from 1978 to 1981, said he did not recall Williams prosecuting any felony cases for his office.
“(Williams) was in the law firm that did my deputy’s work for the time he was there,” Burnett said in a telephone interview Thursday. “The only thing he tried were district or city court cases, as far as I know.”
Williams said he and Burnett have different recollections of his service.
“Just because it’s tried by a judge and not a jury doesn’t mean it’s not a trial,” Williams said. He said he was hired to do municipal court cases “so Bob Thompson wouldn’t have to do this stuff any more.”
The truth here is that Courtney Henry is a Liberal who has voted in the last 4 Democrat Primaries. We aren’t talking about voting for DINO’s but voting for Barack Hussein Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton. I hope the people of NW Arkansas don’t fool easily but my fear is that they will elect this Liberal who hasn’t even tried a case in HER LIFE. Vote Ron Williams.
“John McCain supports the right of the people of California to recognize marriage as a unique institution sanctioning the union between a man and a woman, just as he did in his home state of Arizona. John McCain doesn’t believe judges should be making these decisions.”
Give me Huck or Pawlenty as VP and I’ll get stoked…
This is the reason we can’t have Liberals like Courtney Henry on the Bench…
In a monumental victory for the gay rights movement, the California Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on gay marriage Thursday in a ruling that would allow same-sex couples in the nation’s biggest state to tie the knot.
The organization announced the endorsement of its political action committee on Wednesday.
“Pro-choice Americans have been fortunate to have two strong pro-choice candidates in Senator Obama and Senator Clinton, both of whom have inspired millions of new voters to participate in this historic presidential race,” NARAL president Nancy Keenansaid in a statement. “Today, we are proud to put our organization’s grass-roots and political support behind the pro-choice candidate whom we believe will secure the Democratic nomination and advance to the general election. That candidate is Senator Obama.”
Clinton communications director Howard Wolfsonsaid he was surprised by the group’s decision to back Obama.
“Senator Clinton’s leadership and advocacy on choice issues is second to none,” Wolfson said.
Ellen Malcolm, president of EMILY’s List, which helps elect female candidates who favor abortion rights, harshly criticized the endorsement.
“I think it is tremendously disrespectful to Senator Clinton — who held up the nomination of an FDA commissioner in order to force approval of Plan B and who spoke so eloquently during the Supreme Court nomination about the importance of protecting Roe v. Wade — to not give her the courtesy to finish the final three weeks of the primary process,” Malcolm said in a statement. “It certainly must be disconcerting for elected leaders who stand up for reproductive rights and expect the choice community will stand with them.”
The victory marks the Democrats’ third straight special election pickup in three months. It will be a serious blow to the Republican Party’s already-flagging morale and will surely prompt a new round of finger-pointing among the already fractured GOP caucus.
“This loss is going to prompt serious introspection by our conference to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it,” said a GOP leadership aide. “We have time to do that, and we will if we learn our lessons leading into November. But the next couple of days are not going to be pretty.”
The special election was held to fill the seat of former Rep. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), who was appointed to serve out the remainder of Sen. Trent Lott’s term last December. Wicker had never faced a competitive race since first elected in 1994, and the district gave President Bush 62 percent of the vote in 2004.
The results amount to a rebuke of the Republican strategy of trying nationalize the race by tying Childers to Sen. Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Obama held low approval ratings in the district, but the nearly $2 million that GOP groups poured into northern Mississippi failed to make the race a referendum on the national political landscape.
Republicans dispatched a lineup of heavy hitters in the campaign’s final week, including a pre-election stop Monday by Vice President Dick Cheney. President Bush, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and First Lady Laura Bush recorded automated calls urging voters to support Davis.
A GOP House leadership aide told Politico last week that “if we don’t win in Mississippi, I think you are going to see a lot of people running around here looking for windows to jump out of.”
Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is at the top of the list of John McCain’s possible running mates, according to a top McCain fundraiser with ties to his inner circle.
UPDATE: Apparently this was reported yesterday by US NEWS…
Needless to say I am very excited about a McCain-Huckabee ticket…It is the best thing that could happen to GOP politics in Arkansas…It also provides McCain with the foot soldiers he needs to carry out the ground game against the very well oiled Obama machine…Remember Obama has currently or has at one time had an office in every continental US state…Most states he is operating with 5-10 offices and upwards of 100 staffers in certain states…McCain and Huck are the right fit on Global Warming issues and both have a certain maverick spirit that captures part of the middle…Huckabee is articulate, crafty, and one of the best politicians alive…Whether you like him or not, you can’t help but agree that the man is a great politician…He motivates SoCons like no one else and need I remind you he won 8 states in the heart of Republican country…Huckabee is an Asset McCain would be wise to take advantage of…
