Dick Morris is a very shrewd man. He know politics very very well. He's not always right but even when he's wrong, there's a kernel of truth in there. In this OpEd he outlines the minefield inherent with immigration from Mexico. I agree that Chavez is very dangerous and Fox is the closest thing approximating a friend we've had in Mexico in 70 years. It's important we help him where we can. However, we're going to have to deal with Chavez sooner or later. It might be easier if Fox is gone. Then we can really put up a wall and start protecting our borders in earnest. I'd prefer if we can do this amiably and sensibly but we cannot leave things as they are.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
