"That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."
-- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864
"The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."
-- U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp
In a fight between Jim Webb and Ollie North, who would win? Oh, that's right, we already know the answer to that question.

Redskins Insider Latest from RPVFrom a Marc Ambinder piece in The Atlantic:
A strategist for a rival potential presidential rival e-mails to express amusement with Gov. Sarah Palin’s come one, come all PR strategy:
“Fine with us. Let her be the sacrificial lamb for 2012.”
Yeah. The same way that people said, “Hey, let Bill Clinton be the sacrificial lamb in 1992 against Bush 41. Bush has a 92 percent approval rating!”

“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.”
-- President Ronald Reagan from "The Speech" - October 27, 1964

I’m not surprised at what any liberal says about Palin. Ambinder is no worse than the distorted story put out by Communist News Network where they distort their own interview with her.
Worse than that was the treatment she received by Gov. Rick Perry at the Governors meeting yesterday. It’s pretty obvious he has his sights on 2012, and is very envious of the popularity Gov. Palin has. When he can get his own approval ratings in Texas above 38%, he might have a chance. Doubt that many texans will forget his support for the disastrous Trans Texas Corridor that thankfully failed.
Just wait until we get a couple of WTF? bill through the Congress, and people that care about the Constitution and our sovereignty will suddenly quit “bickering and arguing over who [politically] killed who”.
Riley- I like the Michael Steele RNC Chairman ad on the right screen.
I heard him on the Hannity Radio show the other day and he is an unappologetic conservative, he is an articulate and inspiring speaker, he is fresh and innovative and he can bring a broad range of people under Reagans big tent without compromising the gippers principles.
