Oregonian's Dave Reinhard Calls Ron Saxton a "Real Republican" AND a MODERATE. HE'S A MODERATE, HE'S A MODERATE, HE'S A MODERATE! That means "safe," get it? Please Democrats, don't be afraid of him. Be afraid of Kulongoski. [Oh, and that stuff about what a conservative Saxton became during the primaries, just scratch all that as though it never happened. The real question is where are the "conservatives" going to go, Dave. That is what is making Saxton nervous. That's why Saxton minions are suing Mary Starrett. Dave's in la-la land & desperate to help the RINO candidate GOPers, like the OR Conservative, are now stuck with a RINO if they want to vote their party's candidate. Embarrassing. Utterly embarrassing.]

She is the only candidate supporting tax limits. Aren't we Republicans lucky? First Saxton refused to talk about the OR GOP immigration resolution and now the state's number tax limit measure.

 TEXT & VIDEO Of President's Address to Nation On Israel/Lebanon. (WH)"...we recognize that responsibility for this suffering lies with Hezbollah...
...Iran must stop its support for terror. And the leaders of these armed groups must make a choice: If they want to participate in the political life of their countries, they must disarm. Elected leaders cannot have one foot in the camp of democracy and one foot in the camp of terror...
...if I were Hezbollah I'd be claiming victory, too...
...When Hezbollah's rockets killed innocent Israelis they celebrated. I think when people really take a look at the type of mentality that celebrates the loss of innocent life, they'll reject that type of mentality...
... None of this would have happened, by the way, had we -- had 1559, Resolution 1559 been fully implemented. Now is the time to get it implemented...
...The world got to see ...what it means to confront terrorism... it's the challenge of the 21st century... And the lesson for those of us in Washington, D.C. is to set aside politics and give our people the tools necessary to protect the American people." |
