Rove, Chinese Oil, Kelo and the Deficit

It's been a while since I posted so here goes...

There is no way the Rove gets fired. There is no popular support on this issue. We still haven’t heard all the facts in this case. When the facts come out Rove will not have broken a single law and almost everyone will have forgotten about this and moved on to the new Supreme Court, hopefully packed with conservatives.

I don't like the idea of a Chinese state owned oil company buying an American one. I don’t have a problem with a foreign privately-held company buying an American company, but I don’t think we should support socialism. We don’t allow our own government to buy up private companies, why should we allow foreign ones?

The Kelo decision is the reason we need a court packed with conservatives. I am so looking forward to the Supreme Court fight. The minority party almost never gets its way on the Supreme Court. They almost invariably look like obstructionists and the last thing the democrats need is to look more obstructionist. The shrill cry soon to be heard from the left will do nothing but convince average Americans that they aren’t Democrats. Remember, the majority of voters put Bush in the WH, he will get what he wants. I just hope that who he wants doesn’t end up being a Souter, Kennedy or Stevens.

The budget deficit continues to fall thanks to our strong economy. Bush could still do a lot more to slash federal spending, but it looks like he hasn’t met a spending bill he can veto. Secretly I hope the Democrats take back the House and the GOP holds onto the Senate and WH. I love gridlock, hard to appropriate money when nobody can agree where to spend it.
