Newspaper endorses Zimmer for U.S. Senate
It's not every day that one of the most liberal newspapers in the country endorses a Republican.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is urging New Jersey residents to elect former Congressman Dick Zimmer as their new U.S. Senator over geriatric Frank Lautenberg, a liberal Democrat.
From the editorial:
The Philadelphia Inquirer is urging New Jersey residents to elect former Congressman Dick Zimmer as their new U.S. Senator over geriatric Frank Lautenberg, a liberal Democrat.
From the editorial:
A former three-term congressman and former state legislator, Zimmer is a qualified candidate and offers a viable alternative to voters in a state that has not sent a Republican to the Senate since 1972. Zimmer, 64, of Delaware Township in Hunterdon County, defeated three challengers in the GOP primary in his second run for the Senate.
Zimmer is a fiscal conservative who supports cutting taxes and pork-barrel spending, but is a moderate on many social issues - which would go a long way in reaching across the aisle.Zimmer already knows his way around Washington politics. He served three terms in the House from 1991 to 1996, before losing to Torricelli in the race for Bill Bradley's open seat.
He may be best known for writing the federal Megan's Law, which requires parental notification when a convicted sex offender moves into a neighborhood. The bill was named for Megan Kanka, the 6-year-old Hamilton Township, N.J., girl who was murdered by a sex offender.Zimmer has shown that he would buck his party. He opposes lifting the ban on drilling off the New Jersey coast, a position supported by GOP presidential candidate John McCain.
He also differs with McCain on the Iraq war - Zimmer says troops should be withdrawn "as soon as we practically can."
In a campaign overshadowed by the presidential race, Zimmer has tried to focus on issues important to New Jersey voters and where he differs with Lautenberg. "I want to shut the whole pork-barrel game down," Zimmer told the Inquirer's Editorial Board. During six years in Congress, Zimmer said he asked for only one
earmark.Read the full endorsement editorial at the newspaper's Web site.

Rendell's Legacy: Debt, Higher Taxes
At least one Pennsylvania lawmaker isn't afraid to speak the truth about Gov. Ed Rendell's disastrous budget.
Read, "Rendell budget means tax increase in 2009," by state Rep. Sam Rohrer, in today's edition of The Pottstown Mercury.

Rob Andrews for US Senate
We don't like to get too involved in Democratic Party politics, but on June 3, New Jersey Democrats have an opportunity to elect Congressman Rob Andrews, a young, dynamic politician to replace a tired old political hack in Sen. Frank Lautenberg.
The Senate is full of old white guys hanging around too long.
Vote for Rob Andrews in Tuesday's primary.

End of the road for Hillary Clinton?
Good commentary from Tony Phyrillas about the Hillary Clinton campaign self-destructing. I'm not as confident as Tony about Hillary Clinton going down for the count. I'm sure the Clintons have some tricks up their sleeves. They're not going away. But I do agree with Tony that Pennsylvania will be key to the Democratic nomination.

Rendell screws state retirees
This flew under the radar.
Read an interesting column by Tony Phyrillas at the Pottstown Mercury about how Fast Eddie Rendell is sticking it to state retirees by changing their prescription drug plans.
I don't think it's fair to change the rules of the game. These people devoted a good portion of their working lives to the state of Pennsylvania. The state should not go back and take away benefits it promised to them.

More proof of liberal media bias
Which came first? Liberal media bias or the liberal media denying it has a bias?
Excellent post today by Tony Phyrillas about another study showing proof of liberal media bias.
I do believe there is more proof of liberal media bias than of global warming, which the liberal media has been harping on for years.

And the winner is ... Fred Thompson
I heard about this Web site that's suppose to help you decide who to vote for in the presidential primaries through one of my favorite columnists, Tony Phyrillas. I took the test. The winner (for me, at least) was Fred Thompson. He was followed closely by John McCain and Mitt Romney. Take the test for yourself at http://www.votehelp.com/ to see who you should vote for.
