The Bridge Falls and the Slimy Politicians show up...
Today's Opinion Journal takes on the sleazy politicians who immediately used the Minneapolis bridge collapse as an excuse to blame Republicans and call for tax increases. We could save a lot of money if we just put Dolls into Congress--you know, the ones where you just pull a string and the doll talks; they could be programmed to say "It is the Republicans' fault" and "we need to raise your taxes"....
Yes it really is that bad:
Yes it really is that bad:
Some things in politics seem to be inevitable--and one of them is that any road or bridge tragedy will be followed by an argument to raise the gasoline tax. That's what is now happening in the wake of the terrible Minnesota bridge collapse, but that state's transportation and tax record shows precisely why voters are skeptical.Read the rest. And let's prepare to send these sick opportunists home next year.
The gas tax pleas are coming from the usual suspects, in both Washington and St. Paul. James Oberstar, the Minnesota Democrat who runs the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, recently stood beside the wreckage and recommended an increase in the 18.4-cent-a-gallon federal gas tax, as a way to prevent future bridge collapses. His wing man, Alaska Republican and former Transportation Chairman Don Young, agrees wholeheartedly.
As it happens, these are the same men who played the lead role in the $286 billion 2005 federal highway bill. That's the bill that diverted billions of dollars of gas tax money away from urgent road and bridge projects toward Member earmarks for bike paths, nature trails and inefficient urban transit systems.
In Minnesota, meanwhile, politicians and editorial writers imply that the bridge collapse is somehow the fault of those like GOP Governor Tim Pawlenty who believe in the "motto" of no new taxes, as a columnist for the Minneapolis Star Tribune put it. Mr. Pawlenty has been skewered for his veto earlier this year of a 7.5-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax increase (from 20 cents a gallon currently). Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, has told her Gopher State constituents that if President Bush weren't keeping us in Iraq, bridges wouldn't be falling down.

Most Negative Campaign Ad....EVER???
Wow... I knew the Clinton Machine played dirty. But if this is what Obama is up to--already--well let's just say that I can't wait to see Hillary's ICBMs flying the other direction; there may be no Democrats left standing by September.
If this commercial is any indication, this campaign is going to get UG-LY.
Gingrich's ideas about cleaning up America's politics are looking better and better.
