Big GOP consultant comes out against anti-gay measure in Florida
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
This is interesting. Roger Stone is a longtime name in Republican political circles. He's a bit of a dandy (okay, a lot of a dandy), and has had his own run-ins with the morality police (he and his wife were caught running ads in a wife-swapper's magazine). He's also the guy who claims he tipped the cops to Elliot Spitzer's prostitution habit. So it's interesting that Stone, a far-right conservative, and a rather nasty man politically, is coming out vocally against Florida's anti-gay "marriage" amendment. Here is what Stone had to say: ...

... is also a terrific platform for Bloomberg to launch a Presidential campaign if Obama crashes. Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has shed the immaturity of his Gubernatorial bid and has exhibited more leadership and seasoning as AG after a stint as a Presidential Cabinet member.

Who Will Reform New York's Insane Drug Laws?
Hit & Run —
... simply not in the Republicans' political interests to support measures that would let those locked up under the old drug laws go free." It was the perfect cycle, one that generated and reinforced incumbency and power. The elephant in the reform room is the Upstate economy, of course. The Governor is on a fiscal war path, as he needs to be. Reform could cost jobs wholesale upstate. Oh the horror. The cotton industry took a hit when slavery ended, too. Whole thing here. Reason on drug policy here. Roger Stone talks to ...
Quote For The Day
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
... marriage is a fundamental right bundled up in our notion of what freedom is, even if it took a Supreme Court decision to make it so, but everyone does not have the right to enter into a union of his or her choice. Therefore, Republicans cannot take shelter in states’ rights and plausibly contend that freedom means freedom for all. If we want freedom for all, we must be prepared to grant equality to homosexuals as a constitutional imperative. The Republic will still stand," - Roger Stone, Republican macher. ...
The NEW Sarah Palin: Palin’s Plan
FullosseousFlap's Dental Blog —
... Roger Stone, politico and adviser extraordinaire has it RIGHT about Sarah Palin.
Like Nixon, Palin needs some rehabilitation to her political image caused by the relentless attacks of the elitist media, the knife-work of the relatively talentless Republican Party pros like Steve Schmidt and her own self-inflicted wounds from the post election period that were born out of inexperience at this level of political combat. Like Nixon, Palin can re-make herself in the controlled environment of television. Instead of being tortured by smug media types like Katie Couric, ...
