pollyannaish Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 @Valin. That poll is a very good indicator of what makes this country so difficult to lead. Democrats are lockstep, Republicans are lockstep...and Independents are schizoid. The majority oppose repeal but think ti will make their lives worse. How do you rationalize that?

pollyannaish Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 @Valin. I think you give people too much credit. THAT is the provision they don't LIKE so that is the one they think is "unconstitutional." People really don't know what is and isn't. So constitutional/unconstitutional is shorthand for "like/dislike." But yes, it's a classic case of "as long as someone else is paying for it, sure, I'll take it!"

Rheo Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Media Matters boss paid former partner $850G 'blackmail' settlement Media Matters chief David Brock paid a former domestic partner $850,000 after being threatened with damaging information involving the organization’s donors and the IRS – a deal that Brock later characterized as a blackmail payment, according to legal documents obtained by FoxNews.com. In an acrimonious lawsuit settled at the end of last year, Brock accused William Grey of making repeated threats to expose him to the "scorn or ridicule of his employees, donors and the press in demanding money and property." Brock claimed in legal papers that he sold a Rehoboth Beach, Del., home he once shared with Grey in order to meet Grey’s demands, which he called "blackmail" in the lawsuit.

Valin Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hot Air: Exclusive interview with Pete Hegseth: Ready to challenge Amy Klobuchar Ed Morrissey 2/26/12 Last night, my radio partner Mitch Berg organized our semiannual (or so) Minnesota Organization of Bloggers social event at Ol’ Mexico in Roseville, and attendance was higher than ever. Our fellow NARN radio host and now state Representative King Banaian paid us a visit, fresh off a redistricting decision that has him in a new (and more Republican) district, and a dozens of bloggers and even more blog readers and followers came to socialize with us. We had a surprise guest among us — our old friend Captain Pete Hegseth, one of the founders of Vets for Freedom and just two weeks after returning to his family from Afghanistan after his third overseas tour of duty with the US Army National Guard — the other two tours being Guantanamo and Iraq. For the past few months, there has been a movement in the state to draft Pete into running for the US Senate. As an active-duty member of the armed services, Pete couldn’t participate in that effort or encourage it at all. Now that he has been discharged from active duty, however, Pete has embraced the idea and will announce this week that he will run in the Republican primary for the nomination to challenge incumbent Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar. It’s a tough assignment, although hardly the toughest Pete has faced. Klobuchar has the power of the incumbency, plus a reputation as a moderate (which her voting record belies) and as a genuinely nice person (which is much more true).
