Your faithful servant is jetting his way back east for the Republican National Committee's winter meeting and the inaugural festivities this morning. Stay tuned for a first-hand report of all the gory details. - Chuck ****************************** Know Thy Enemy Wanna know what the radicals on the Left are up to as far as nailing John Ashcroft's hide to the wall? Check out their state and national plans at: http://www.stopashcroftnow.com. ***************************** Pardon Me? "We are all agreed, then: If (Independent Counsel Robert) Ray can prove his case, Clinton should be indicted. Should he also be pardoned? Yes, and for the same reason Nixon was pardoned: Not because he deserved it, but because the American people did. "'Nixon ... had already suffered enormously,' President Ford wrote in his memoirs. 'But I wasn't motivated primarily by sympathy for his plight... It was the state of the country's health at home and around the world that worried me.' Let Nixon be prosecuted and 'the story would overshadow everything else. No other issue could compete with the drama of a former president trying to stay out of jail... Passions on both sides would be aroused. A period of such prolonged vituperation and recrimination would be disastrous.' And 'the spectacle of a former president on trial' would damage the United States abroad. "What was true in 1974 is even more true in 2001. Heaven knows there are strong reasons to put Clinton on trial. But the reasons not to are even stronger. So, yes, pardon him. But first make sure he's indicted." - Columnist Jeff Jacoby, Boston Globe ****************************** Bush Wins Again ... For the 137th Time "George W. Bush would have gained six votes more than Al Gore if all the dimples and hanging chads on 10,600 previously uncounted ballots in Miami-Dade County had been included in the totals, according to a review by The Palm Beach Post. That result would have been a hard blow to Al Gore's hopes of claiming the presidency in a recount. Before the vice president conceded last month, the Gore camp had expected to pick up as many as 600 votes from a Miami-Dade recount -- barely enough to overtake Bush's razor-thin Florida lead. Instead, The Post's review indicates Gore would have lost ground. If everything were counted -- from the faintest dimple to chads barely hanging on ballots -- 251 additional votes would have gone to Bush and 245 more would have gone to Gore, The Post review showed." - Palm Beach Post, 1/14/01 ****************************** Hoping Against Hope "On paper Bush is dead in the water. He has so many handicaps he can't even get on the scoreboard. There is something different about the way this man operates, however. It is hard to get a grip on it. The point is this: If anybody is ready to write him off, they ought to think again. Blindfolded and with his hands tied behind his back, George W. Bush just might be able to accomplish more real reform by the end of his time of service here than all the others combined. I hesitate to get my hopes up. I shouldn't. He ought to be an easy target for the left. Call me a fool, but I just have a feeling he is going to surprise all of us." - Paul Weyrich, Free Congress Foundation, 1/15/01 ****************************** Campaign Hot Tips - FREE!
