RINO is still clueless

Mr. Christian is needing some assistance. That’s how I interpret his last post. I’ll do what I can. Let’s see how this goes over…

The Dayton Daily Democrat...er...News conducted an email interview with ex-Senator Mike DeWine (RINO-OH) The results show that DeWine still doesn’t understand why he lost last November.

Yes, I held my nose and voted for this clueless jerk. But I did NOT support him with either money or time. He was one of the ‘gang of seven’ Republicans who held up Bush’s court nominees.

DDN. From your experience, what do think people don’t understand about Congress that they would be interested in knowing? That is, what’s the main misunderstanding?

DeWine. Many times all the public sees is the partisan bickering. While there is way too much of that, what is missed is that on any given day (while) the headlines may be of partisan squabbling on one issue, on that very day there are dozens of cases of Democrats and Republicans working together. Virtually every bill and amendment I got passed in the Senate was done by working very closely with a Democrat partner.

You know, I vote Republican for a reason. I’m a partisan. I expect partisan ‘bickering’. I want partisan ‘bickering’. The problem, Mr. DeWine, is not that there was too much ‘partisan’ bickering. The problem was that there was too much ‘partisan’ caving on the Republican side. Mainly by RINOs like you, Mr. DeWine. Next question:

DDN. Who are two people you particularly admire? One D and one R.

DeWine I admire a number of senators of both parties. You don’t need to agree with a person on everything to admire them. Here are just a few:

I admire Joe Lieberman (independent Democrat from Connecticut) because he is a man of principle with a lot of common sense and guts. I admire Chris Dodd, D-Conn., as an effective fighter for kids and because he cares deeply about an area we ignore: South America and Central America.

Mitch McConnell (the Republican leader, from Kentucky) is a tough and effective legislator who knows how to get legislation through. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., also has a passion for kids’ health and has a big heart.

This is so wrong on so many levels…

Lieberman is good on one thing and one thing only: National defense. Otherwise Lieberman is as much an enemy of the Constitution as DeWine. Case in point: DeWine’s comments on Chris Dodd. an effective fighter for kids and because he cares deeply about an area we ignore: South America and Central America. Under Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution, I cannot find anything about ‘kids’ or ‘South America and Central America’ being the business of the Congress. Not Yours!

You probably get my drift by now. Just one more cut from this sorry excuse for a Republican…

DDN Do you sense any change in the political times that’s going on now? I mean, do you expect the politics of the next decade or so to be different in some particular way than, say, the last decade?

DeWine Thirty years ago, few of us would have predicted the rise of the radio talk-show hosts or the power of the single-issue groups. Nor would many 10 years ago (have been able to) understand how the Internet would be used in politics or ever hear of the term blogs! So it is very difficult to predict the future.

We can predict that the methods of communicating with voters will continue to evolve.

Further — and this may be wishful thinking — I believe the voters will demand less partisanship and more results. I heard time and time again last year “stop the partisan bickering and get things done.”

A case of a RINO listening to Democrats. No Republican that I know has EVER told me that the ‘partisan bickering’ should stop. I don’t want ‘results’. I want Constitutional ‘results’: on illegal aliens, healthcare, education, etc. Note that the Constitution gives Congress oversight on illegal aliens, not over healthcare or education. NOT YOURS!

Unless the Democrats cave ...

As a result of last November, and the RINO’s that ran my state (like Gov. Taft), Ken Blackwell, a man I did vote for and will again if he runs, lost. Gov. Taft was a criminal. Found so by the courts. Now I have a Democrat Governor by the name of Ted Strickland. A scary man, he’s a psychologist who doesn’t believe in God or sexual preference. One of his first acts was apparently to allow interns to have sensitive data on their laptop computers. Predictably, one of these was ‘stolen’. (Yeah. Right. Stolen. By the DNC.)

So today in the mail I received this notice:

The State of Ohio has confirmed that your name and social security number was contained on a computer back-up device (this is false, or the news is false, it was a laptop – Christopher) that was stolen... I won’t bore you with the rest as it is two pages long. Bad as Taft was, Strickland the Shrink, is already worse.

A Democrat Governor can’t protect private info in his State, how can we expect a Democrat to protect the Nation?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
