Charen ping!

Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Mona Charen ping list...

Correct.

Potential attack on Iran may keep the Security issue upfront and propell Pubs to another victory.

Otherwise, Iraq and corruption are going to be very very costly.

[Anti-Bubba182]

"Republicans should not sleep well at night. The party has achieved comfortable majority status just when it seems to have lost its animating vision. And when parties exist merely to maintain themselves in power, corruption soon follows"

Good point. The GOP spent a lot of time and trouble to get power. They can't forget how and why they got there. They must project a positive affirmative vision.

The Democrats will always have a punchers chance to upset things because the party in power gets blamed for what goes wrong, even the weather.

"One solution all segments of the party will agree upon is a renewed commitment to assimilation as the norm for legal immigrants."

An excellent suggestion.

[jocon307]

"Decoupling the tax deduction for medical expenses from employers and giving it directly to consumers is one such reform."

Another excellent idea, esp. since many, if not most, workers now must bear the cost of their coverage.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

"Yes, we welcome immigration, but only for those who are willing to Americanize by learning English, renouncing their ancestral homes and pledging allegiance to this country."



AMEN AMEN AMEN!

[MNJohnnie]

Yet another "Conservative" pundit who seems so completely incapable of actually attacking the Democrats on ANYTHING. Say Mona, why did Abramoff directed Pacs give almost $2 MILLION to Democrats? Gee would it NOT be refreshing if maybe say, 1/10th of the time the "Conservative Pundits" actually attacked the Democrats for SOMETHING instead of mindlessly regurgitating the DNC talking points like the REST of the Junk Media?

the unsavory practice of accepting lavish trips

All trips should stop. Period. "Fact finding trips" are 100% USDA grade A horse manure. There are no "fact finding" trips. The idea is an affront to the intelligence of every 3rd grader in the country.

I can think of only one exception to my No Trips rule: visits to American troops in the field for the sole purpose of boosting morale. Not "fact finding". When congresspukes (of all parties) go on a "fact finding" trip, it is an exercise in extreme lying to the American people.

Bring the Congresspeople Home! Now!
