WHERE ARE WE AFTER THE MICHIGAN PRIMARY AND JUST BEFORE SOUTH CAROLINA THIS WEEKEND? MITT ROMNEY WON IN MICHIGAN, PARTLY BECAUSE HE PROMISED A $20 BILLION AID PACKAGE FOR THE AUTO INDUSTRY. IS THAT WHAT A REPUBLICAN SHOULD DO – BAILOUT A PRIVATE INDUSTRY RATHER THAN ENDORSE CAPITALISM, FREE ENTERPRISE AND ENCOURAGE DETROIT TO BUILD THE KINDS OF CARS PEOPLE WANT?
YES, THE GOVERNMENT LOANED CHRYSLER MONEY, BUT THEY PAID IT BACK. BIG DIFFERENCE.
MIKE HUCKABEE ALSO SOUNDS LIKE A BIG GOVERNMENT REPUBLICAN. THE ONLY ONE BEHAVING LIKE A REAL REPUBLICAN IS RON PAUL, WHO ACTUALLY WANTS TO CUT SPENDING AND GET GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR LIVES. HE WON’T WIN THE NOMINATION BECAUSE TOO MANY REPUBLICANS ARE INTO HANDOUTS AND REDISTRIBUTION, JUST LIKE DEMOCRATS.
IT’S A SAD POLITICAL SEASON IF YOU ARE A CONSERVATIVE. ALL OF THE CANDIDATES ARE DEFECTIVE, SOME SERIOUSLY SO, AND THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS HAVE THE MOST DEFECTS, BUT RIGHT NOW – WITH THE MEDIA’S HELP – THEY APPEAR POISED TO WIN IN NOVEMBER. MAYBE A MIRACLE WILL HAPPEN AND REPUBLICANS WILL START BEHAVING LIKE REPUBLICANS AGAIN. IN KANSAS CITY, I’M CAL THOMAS.WHERE ARE WE AFTER THE MICHIGAN PRIMARY AND JUST BEFORE SOUTH CAROLINA THIS WEEKEND?

Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Denies Knowledge of Bonus Checks for State Employees’ Anti-Nader Work
January 8th, 2008
See this Pennsylvania news story, in which Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Bill DeWeese denies knowing about bonuses for Democratic legislative staffers for doing political work. Although this particular newspaper story does not mention what kind of political work was involved, part of the work involved helping with the challenge to Ralph Nader’s petition in 2004.
The news about the scandal is coming at just the right time, as Nader is pressing ahead with his lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee and its alllies for its efforts to keep him off various state ballots in 2004, and also as he is fighting in court to keep his challengers from raiding his bank account.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Issues Helpful Ballot Access Ruling
December 31st, 2007
On December 28, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court construed one particular state law favorably to ballot access, in the case titled In re: Nomination Petition of Paulmier, no. 172 EAL 2007.
The issue was a provision in the Pennsylvania Ethics Act that requires candidates for state and local office to reveal the sources of their income. The act does not apply to federal candidates. The Court ruled that if a candidate files the financial disclosure on time, and the form has an omission or error, the candidate may correct the error later. By contrast, the lower court had tried to keep the candidate off the ballot (the Pennsylvania Supreme Court had ordered him back on to the ballot, but until December 28, had not explained its reasoning).
The particular candidate in this case was Greg Paulmier, a Democrat who was running for Philadelphia city council.
The Court also ruled that in the case of a self-employed candidate, the law doesn’t require him or her to list all the people whom he does business with. It is sufficient for the candidate to reveal the name of his or her business, without trying to list all the customers of that business.
