Lindsey Graham: South Carolina’s Missing Senator


From the diaries by Erick.
Lindsey Graham is listed as on official member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to the Committee’s website, but when the Committee does business on Thursday mornings, Graham is conspicuously absent.  Insiders have indicated to me that this is beginning to aggravate the other Republicans on the Committee.
After Snarlin Arlen switched parties, the Democrats advantage on the Committee became overwhelming (12-7 margin), so Republicans need all the help they can get.  At least at the staff level, a number of Republicans believe that Graham needs to go.  One Committee Republican told me: “the Democrats have a dedicated group of true believers.  We have three Members heavily involved in health care and Graham is not one of them.  He could at least show up and pretend to be interested in helping Republicans.”

How bad is Graham’s attendance?  The Committee meets practically every Thursday morning.  Graham has attended only 5 meetings this year.  Al Franken, who joined the Committee in late July, has already attended 7 meetings.  Graham has attended only 2 meetings since Franken joined the Committee and he did not do Republicans any favors in one of those.  On July 28, he showed up to tell the other six Republicans that elections matter and that he was casting his vote for Sonya Sotomayor to be the next Justice on the United States Supreme Court.  If Graham had had the courage to vote no and had not basically gone down and kissed Sotomayor during her confirmation hearing, perhaps Republicans could have put up a better fight.
Republicans on the Committee refer to Graham as the “worthless” member.  One senior republican aide told me “his primary purpose appears to be cosponsoring democrat legislation that the rest of the Republicans oppose. Graham is the Ranking Member on the Crime and Drugs Subcommittee.  When the Subcommittee has hearings, Graham does not show up for those hearings and his staff is always asking for other members to serve as Ranking.”
In the environment Republicans are in, they could use some support.  They are apparently not getting any from Lindsey Graham.  The people of South Carolina deserve better.  Perhaps if the news gets out, they will call Graham and tell him to at least pretend to be interested in helping his fellow colleagues.  Graham certainly does not have a problem helping Obama.

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:58:29 -0700 GA Free and Fair Elections Petition http://howieb.posterous.com/ga-free-and-fair-elections-petition http://howieb.posterous.com/ga-free-and-fair-elections-petition

 
Karen Handel for Governor

Obama Justice Department to Allow Illegal Aliens to Vote in Georgia

-- Karen Handel Fights to Stop It--

In a recent and shockingly political move, the Obama Justice Department ordered Georgia to stop the process of verifying that voters in Georgia are indeed U.S. Citizens.

"It is a sad day for the rights of our state and for the integrity of our elections," said Karen. "I remain committed to continuing the fight for citizenship verification. In the coming days, I will consider every option available to the state, including the possibility of legal action."

This morning, Karen posted a petition on her website to tell the Obama Justice Department that Georgians support citizenship verification for voter registration. We've set a goal of collecting 10,000 signatures by next week, so please sign the petition today and ask your friends, neighbors and family members to do the same.

Join Karen Handel's fight to stop illegal aliens from voting by signing the petition now.

The ruling also prevents Georgia from even verifying that a voter actually exists. This opens the door for groups like ACORN to abuse the voter registration system.

Handel said, "The Obama Administration completely disregarded Georgia's obvious and direct interest in preventing non-citizens from voting, instead siding with the ACLU and the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF). Clearly, politics took priority over common sense and good public policy."

Committed to the integrity of our elections, Karen has said "Bring It On" in the face of this challenge. Please stand with her by signing her free and fair elections petition right now.

This is not just a fight in Georgia. If this injustice is not stopped here, it could spread nationwide and open the door to illegal aliens voting in every state. Here are a sampling of some headlines from around the country...

  • You are invited to share a meal of greens, beans and cornbread at the Good Samaritan Open Table after church on Sunday February 22nd.   The February meal will be served from noon to 3:00 pm in the fellowship hall of the Blue Ridge Methodist Church.  Proceeds help fund the benevolent works of the Good Samaritans of Fannin County, an interdenominational association of Fannin County area churches.   No charge is made for the meal but those who choose are encouraged to make a donation.                  
  • Funds raised at Labor Day BBQ and donations from area churches are distributed by the Good Sam benevolent committee for Fannin County families and individuals in need.

  • For over twenty five years, the interdenominational Good Samaritan churches have worked side by side with the Department of Family and Childrens Services and the Fannin County Community Action Agency in ministering to families and individuals in our county.  The Good Samaritan Open Table serves as a collection site for nonperishable items such as canned meats, fruits, vegetables and boxed meal items. Items that folks bring to the Open Table will help restock the Community Action food pantry.
  • Gifts or donations in excess of the value of the Open Table meal are considered tax deductible to an association of churches by the IRS.  Checks may also be mailed to POB 1865 in Blue Ridge and made out to the Good Samaritans with a lower left notation of Open Table.  Gifts of time or service are truly welcome and spirit filled volunteers are encouraged to call 706 455 3818.

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 20:48:00 -0800 'Atlas Shrugged': From Fiction to Fact in 52 Years - WSJ.com - Opinion http://howieb.posterous.com/atlas-shrugged-from-fiction-to http://howieb.posterous.com/atlas-shrugged-from-fiction-to

'Atlas Shrugged': From Fiction to Fact in 52 Years - WSJ.com - Opinion

By STEPHEN MOORE

Some years ago when I worked at the libertarian Cato Institute, we used to label any new hire who had not yet read "Atlas Shrugged" a "virgin." Being conversant in Ayn Rand's classic novel about the economic carnage caused by big government run amok was practically a job requirement. If only "Atlas" were required reading for every member of Congress and political appointee in the Obama administration. I'm confident that we'd get out of the current financial mess a lot faster.

Many of us who know Rand's work have noticed that with each passing week, and with each successive bailout plan and economic-stimulus scheme out of Washington, our current politicians are committing the very acts of economic lunacy that "Atlas Shrugged" parodied in 1957, when this 1,000-page novel was first published and became an instant hit.

Rand, who had come to America from Soviet Russia with striking insights into totalitarianism and the destructiveness of socialism, was already a celebrity. The left, naturally, hated her. But as recently as 1991, a survey by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club found that readers rated "Atlas" as the second-most influential book in their lives, behind only the Bible.

For the uninitiated, the moral of the story is simply this: Politicians invariably respond to crises -- that in most cases they themselves created -- by spawning new government programs, laws and regulations. These, in turn, generate more havoc and poverty, which inspires the politicians to create more programs . . . and the downward spiral repeats itself until the productive sectors of the economy collapse under the collective weight of taxes and other burdens imposed in the name of fairness, equality and do-goodism.

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 11:25:00 -0800 With all due respect Mr. President, that is not true. (Not all Economists agree that stimulus is good.) http://howieb.posterous.com/with-all-due-respect-mr-presid http://howieb.posterous.com/with-all-due-respect-mr-presid

 

http://www.cato.org/special/stimulus09/alternate_version.html

"There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy."

— PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA, JANUARY 9 , 2009

With all due respect Mr. President, that is not true.

Notwithstanding reports that all economists are now Keynesians and that we all support a big increase in the burden of government, we do not believe that more government spending is a way to improve economic performance. More government spending by Hoover and Roosevelt did not pull the United States economy out of the Great Depression in the 1930s. More government spending did not solve Japan's "lost decade" in the 1990s. As such, it is a triumph of hope over experience to believe that more government spending will help the U.S. today. To improve the economy, policy makers should focus on reforms that remove impediments to work, saving, investment and production. Lower tax rates and a reduction in the burden of government are the best ways of using fiscal policy to boost growth.
