While we can all debate how many cupcakes we should eat, it is a huge step to say the federal government will regulate your local school bake sale.

Things like this could be huge campaign issues for the GOP. Democrats are in favor of micro managing our lives, while true conservatives are in favor of personal responsibility and personal freedoms. In this case, conservatives would take the position that your local school officials and PTA will decide what products to sell at their bake sales.

Sounds like common sense to me. But let’s get out there and make the case for conservative principles as they apply to situations such as this.

Actually, it's not. All it takes is one zealous school official and they can use this to ban anything they don't like (bake sale wise). The rule says what it says, and eventually some liberal will use it as a club to push their agenda.

You betcha. It would make a very effective campaign ad. And most people could relate to it. But wait...the GOPe won't do it because someone at MSNBC might say it's a racist swipe at Michelle.
