I've not seen any documentation to that effect either, in all honesty. But, do know, unbeknown to many, that Bobby was a prosecutor for Joe McCarthy before he was A.G., which would seem an unlikely alliance unless you knew that old Joe Kennedy, apparently, was a rabid anti-communist. Anyway, I find the whole thing interesting, if not complicated.

"did you know MLK was a Republician? " No I did not know that, but it makes sense considering Lincoln was on the right side of the abolition issue and the Democrat party was notorious for blocking the civil rights movement. And wasn't Bobby Kennedy A.G. under his brother Jack when MLK was investigated for ties to the Communist Party? Hmmmm

I like this one!
Gibbs, Robert L. 172,200.00 ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND PRESS SECRETARY
Employee Per Annum
Now that salary is repulsive especially considering its OUR tax money going in his pocket. I never knew a tool could get so much!

I agree, it would be dumb. If it was to distract from Gov. Palin, I'm glad it did fail. I hadn't heard of it until I saw it here.

OldMarine, You're right on the mark again. Powell is not stupid. I think he's an opportunist. I suspect he thought by throwing his party under the bus in the last election, he'd have a post in this administration's cabinet. Now, it's sour grapes and he's maybe trying to capitalize on his following in 2008 to run in 2012?
Who knows, but as Rush said the other day, he doesn't speak for conservatives in any case. I think I read somewhere that Powell voted for Carter of all people. What kind of conservative, much less Republican, would do that?

Unrestrained by McCain's handlers, I think she be terrific. Not only that, if she were in a debate with Obama, she'd mop the floor with him. Sarah wouldn't engage him in a debate over an issue without first discrediting the premise of his argument. It would be as though he debated Limbaugh with lipstick. I'd buy tickets to hear that debate.

Palin / Patraeus 2012 does have a real nice ring to it! In any case, I want Palin at the top of the ticket, if she'll run.

I hope she doesn't leave us in the lurch. I was optimistic when she spoke after she got off the plane in Ohio last summer, and completely sold after her AWESOME speech at the convention.... with no teleprompter.
She's honest, shrewd, a tough competitor, and NOT a career politician, and NOT inside the beltway. She's one of us and I pray to God she comes back to lead this country. She's Reagan and Margaret Thatcher all rolled up in one.

The party leaders all told us Reagan was "unelectable" before he was nominated, then won in an electoral landslide of 49 states. The press was unmerciful to Reagan with adhominem attacks.

They attack her now so harshly because she is a real threat to the left. If she runs, she has my vote.

Not likely, you are correct, the oath is obviously not on the mind of TOTUS. But this legislation might make enough of them stop and think, albeit briefly, and possibly cause some to debate, before just rubber stamping some of their hare brained schemes. If you can get the cars to stop blowing through stop signs at the intersection, and slow down, maybe there'd at least be fewer collisions.
That's all.
I know there is no one silver bullet, the problem is too big, but we need to take every opportunity to do what we can.
If nothing else, I'd love it to be a distraction and take time away from the energy bill or health care.

I also beg of all of you to read about Ron Paul's bill that has 245 co-sponsors. Then, especially if your congressman is a democrat, call him and tell him to push hard on Barney Frank to get this out of committee and on the floor for a full house vote!
