The disclosure by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, marked the first time a U.S. official had publicly commented on...

There are several reasons why he shouldn't ever run or be elected to office. He was once accused of sexual harassment and fired from one of his trucking jobs. He hid from his disclosures several hundred dollars that he owed Phil Collins, a volunteer coordinator who worked for him and didn't reimburse him for gas money. He also hid what he owed another one of his campaign staff on his federal disclosures, a sum of $2,000 to Gary Karlin, a former fundraising chairman and webmaster....

As noted in the Washington Times, Democrat leaders in the House are reversing the work of Republicans regarding what is known as “earmark reform.” The 2006 legislation would: allow lawmakers to vote on individual earmarks, specific funding requests... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1850456/posts#comment Fri, 15 Jun 2007 01:13:53 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1643398/posts While Al Gore is commanding all the attention of those searching for the "un-Hillary," there's another candidate who is quietly doing the work it actually takes to run for president. While Al Gore continues to protest that he isn't running, there's another candidate who is privately making no bones about his future prospects. While Al Gore has yet to acknowledge that he lost, there's another candidate who is belatedly addressing the mistakes that caused his defeat. The "un-Gore," "un-Hillary" is John Kerry. He is doing everything Gore isn't doing to prepare for a presidential run in 2008. He is running...
