 Send to email | Kansas Republican Delegation not behind McCain in Policy and Politics |  By Thoughts
el 12-Jun-2008 | Among the many Republican congresscritters not backing McSame, Todd Tiahrt truly stands out. Tiahrt claims to represent the Wichita area, and his refusal to back his party's nominee probably doesn't mean he backs Obama. He may well think McCain is too nice to immigrants, or is insufficiently Bush-like, or perhaps he's looking for a candidate who shares his anti-mother sentiments.
Then again, he's facing a tough challenge by Donald Betts, a popular black state senator who opposed the war early on. Perhaps Tiahrt doesn't want to make it too easy to draw the obvious analogy – Betts:Tiahrt::Obama:McCain.
McCain's popularity in Wichita is dropping, and his pro-war agenda is unlikely to help him any more than it did Jim Ryun in 2006.
Help Betts take Kansas back from mother-hating Republicans. Read the comments on this post...

| "I think these people are still fighting Watergate" | | That's what John Dean just said, quoting Rep. Jane Harman, about Dick Cheney and the rest of the Republican party. Meanwhile, I note that John McCain still seems to think he's fighting Vietnam The Hundred Years War.

| McCain abandons Michigan, shores up the levees in Virginia | | John McCain is in trouble. Public polling has shifted toward Obama, and Obama's larger donor base allowing him to outspend McCain in traditional Republican strongholds like Indiana. With Colorado and New Mexico in play out west, and a good chance that Obama will take Nevada, too, traditional battlegrounds like Ohio and Florida are less critical than in 2000 and 2004.
Indeed, there are [..] Read complete article | | Published 02-Oct-2008 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics

Charles Fried, a professor at Harvard Law School, has long been one of the most important conservative thinkers in the United States. Under President Reagan, he served, with great distinction, as Solicitor General of the United States.

| Not ready to run a corporation | | Yesterday I mentioned that Carly Fiorina, a top McCain advisor and former CEO of Hewlett Packard, had declared Sarah Palin unqualified to run a major corporation. That's not all she thinks of the Republican ticket:

| Kansas politics in brief | | Bush's Brain, aka Turd Blossom, comes to Wichita to help "Memory Pills" Roberts remember how to run a campaign. Apparently Bob Dole is back in Kansas, too, bringing his special brand of medicine to boost a different part of the Roberts campaign. Looks like he's scared of Jim Slattery.

| Questions for McCain about Israel | | The Editors ask: McCain: Enemy of Israel or All Out Anti-Semite?:
The media has paid far too little attention to John McCain’s pledge in April to cut off all aid to Israel. Shortly after McCain issued that promise to completely abandon Israel, the McCain camp was forced to backtrack publicly due to pressure from various campaign advisors.
