Cheney Tempers Comments on Powell
Washington Post
Cheney unleashed another round of attacks on the bama administration today taking the new president to task for his economic policies and criticizing a former colleague Defense Secretary Robert Gates for supporting cuts in missile defense programs. But in an interview with CNBC’s Larry Kudlow Cheney also sought to bury the hatchet with another former Bush administration colleague Colin Powell after opining that he wasn’t sure that the former secretary of state was still a Republican. “We’re happy to have General Powell in the Republican Party” Cheney said. I meant no offense to my former colleague… I meant no offense to my former colleague. I wasn’t seeking to rearrange his political identity. Cheney has taken to the airwaves in recent weeks to forcefully criticize the new president on a range of issues including accusing bama of endangering Americans’ safety by banning harsh interrogation tactics and moving to close the military detention facility in Guantanamo Bay Cuba. The appearances have prompted a sharp debate among Republicans over the direction of the party while the White House has largely dismissed the remarks as unbecoming and irrelevant. In the new CNBC interview Cheney accused bama of presiding over a “vast expansion” of the federal government that will do “fundamental long-term damage to the country” while playing down the Bush administration’s role in kicking off federal bailouts with a massive Wall Street rescue plan and other steps.

Blacks Rethink Democratic Party
NewsMax.com
Especially since it is the Democratic Party that has spawned almost 9600 black elected officials since 1970 according to a study published by David A. Bositis of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. The Democratic Party has revised history to show that Democrats and not Republicans have been in the forefront of civil rights for blacks over the years. So who in their right mind would want to join a party with the reputation of being racist?For years now the racist label has been attached to white Republicans without any supporting evidence.
Democrat Kratovil vs. Republican Harris: Let the air wars begin!
The Session
In 2008 the national parties and special-interest groups poured more than $3 million into the First District which includes the entire Eastern Shore and jumps the Bay to take in a significant portion of Western Shore counties. Kratovil who won last year by the skin of his teeth is facing a rematch with Republican State Sen. Andy Harris of Baltimore County who figures to get considerably more support from the national Republican Party than he did last time. The Republican ads against Kratovil slated to begin airing Thursday on Salisbury’s WBC-TV aren’t the first TV commercials of the 2010 campaign in the district already among the most hotly contested in the nation. The drug industry fired the opening round a week ago a pro-Kratovil TV ad that is running more often than the Republican one (both buys are moderately heavy meaning they will likely be seen by many voters). The industry ad praises Kratovil for voting earlier this year to expand health care coverage for children in Maryland whose families lack insurance. Drug manufacturers who fought to kill health reform in 1994 are taking a strikingly different tack this time.
