Monday's Big Show
***Dems not so fast to heal when all is said and done. Some supporters for Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama say they will have second thoughts about voting if their favorite candidate isn't heading the ticket.
"There's just been an attitude that if you aren't voting for Barack Obama, then you're a racist," Kathleen Cowley, a Massachusetts resident, told The Washington Post. "I just find that intolerable."
***Rich Miller's column highlights some interesting points from a recent poll regarding Hot Rod:
A new statewide poll has found that 59 percent of Illinois registered voters want the Illinois Legislature to begin impeachment hearings against Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
The survey of 600 registered voters was conducted May 7 to 10 and has a margin of error of plus/minus 4 percent.
Conducted by the Glengariff Group, the poll found Blagojevich's disapproval rating was a whopping 65 percent, while just 26 percent approve. An Ipsos poll conducted in late March found 54 percent disapproved of Blagojevich's performance, but Ipsos also asked whether respondents had "mixed feelings," whereas Glengariff just asked straight up whether they approved or disapproved.
59% want impeachment hearings to begin & only 4 legislators showed up at our Rally for Common Sense last week. The majority of voters want impeachment & still members of the GA want to work with the worst Governor IL has ever seen. Disgraceful.
***Why is it the media elites and liberal politicians call tax increases 'visonary' and lower taxes & smaller government reactionary? We've told you about the NYT call for higher taxes to reduce fuel consumption. Now the Daily Herald gets into the act:
But think of it this way. Say expanded mass transit in DuPage County would mean tax increases in the range of $300 a year. That is what many motorists are paying now per month for gasoline, if not more than that.
A few decades ago came the vision of making it easier and more convenient to travel by car. And with the expansion of the highway system and improvement of local roads came the decline of buses and street cars as a popular way to get around town.
It's time for a new vision, now that the car has become an ever-costlier convenience. Such as the vision of John Noel, who knew what he was talking about.
