Has Haley Barbour Gone Nuts?

Seems he has pardoned 14 convicted murderers among the 208 convicts he pardoned on the way out the door as Mississippi's governor.

I admit to having been a Barbour fan, but this issue indicates we may have dodged a political bullet when his Presidential bid fizzled.

We Can Do Better Than Ron Paul

...And I think we could hardly do worse.

Et Tu, Blackburn?

From Smitty at TOM:

Et Tu, Blackburn? Early last month I was singing the praises of Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who was taking a bold stand against Net Neutrality and FCC over-reach at the Defending the Dream summit.

Via Instapundit, we discover that the legacy media are funding the Stop Online Piracy Act in a big way.

Sigh... One consolation in living in Rep. Jim Cooper's (D-TN) district was that a responsible Congress Critter was one district over. C'mon, Marsha!

I thought that Rep. Blackburn sounded quite educated on the technical aspects of Net Neutrality. Maybe she can enlighten us on how the First Amendment is less important than media profits. I don’t see where her fellow Defending the Dream summit panelist Seton Motley has commented on SOPA.

Also on that list is our Sen. Bob Corker. What is it with Tennessee Republicans? Stop SOPA!

Iowa Stupid

Voters in the Iowa GOP are making the case for the rest of the 49 states to remove Iowa's right to vote. Via Big Government:

In Obama's world, 56 states are considering removing Iowa's right to vote...

Tennessee House GOP Ignores The TeaParty Voters

Wish I could have voted for Rubio instead of the goofballs on my ballot...

Tea Party Principles: Our LAST Hope

From Traction Control who titles his post "The Last Best Hope: Join or Die." Subtract best... I think the Tea Party revolution and the principles of smaller, less intrusive government and the roll back of the Obama agenda is the only hope left to our nation.

Ace says, “Pretty Darn Good“.

Traction Control says, “Oh, Hell Yea!”

GOP 2010 Strategy: "It's US vs. Obama"

And they are taking on the Tea Party mantle with gusto if this NRSC ad reflects their true beliefs. As Smitty notes, all the Tea Party Senate candidates are in there, even Christine O'Donnell.
