Liberal excesses, conservative successes. Clowns on the left; jokers to the right. Catch �em all right here in GOP News & Views ... a daily Internet e-newsletter for Republican activists, supporters, political leaders and elected officials. If you know someone who does not receive our FREE GOP News & Views briefings, send their e-mail address to [EMAIL PROTECTED] *************************** Babs Skewers Bush �We have a President who stole the presidency through family ties, arrogance and intimidation, employing Republican operatives to exercise the tactics of voter fraud by disenfranchising thousands of blacks, elderly Jews and other minorities. ... Look at his ratings - how could such a destructive man be so popular with the American people? Not only is he poisoning our air and water by withdrawing his promise to enforce emissions standards and arsenic regulations, but he's poisoning our political system as well. Bipartisanship only works if you can trust the other side. As we have learned in the past weeks, we cannot trust George W. Bush." - Limousine-liberal and Clinton groupie Barbra Steisand in a blistering memo to Democrat leaders whining about them not doing more to oppose President Bush and Republicans, The Drudge Report, 4/2/01 *************************** The Incumbent Protection Act of 2001 �From its inception, the McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill has been about imposing rigid government controls over election campaigns, independent political activity and free speech. This is not just a very bad bill. It is a dangerous bill, one that would rob us of our political freedoms under the guise of reform. At its very core, it is an incumbent-protection bill that would keep certain advocacy groups, labor unions and for-profit corporations out of the most critical period of an election by banning their campaign ads, if they mention a candidate for federal office, in the last two months of an election. And that�s just for starters. ... The late Sen. Barry Goldwater, that principled defender of our freedoms whose seat Mr. McCain now holds, must be rolling in his grave.� - Columnist Donald Lambro *************************** Coming Soon: McCain�s Plague of Pests �The campaign finance reform measure poised to pass the Senate today aims to curb something Americans often lament: the influence of big money in politics. But it will almost certainly worsen an affliction they complain about even more: the proliferation of junk mail, dinner-time phone calls and e-mail spam from parties and candidates seeking donations. ... (I)f the bill becomes law, every campaign and party official in the country is going to set his or her sights on the only source of funds left: the four- and five-figure checks to parties and candidates that individuals will still be able to write. Virtually all of that money comes in response to mail or phone solicitations, meaning the most tangible consequence of campaign finance reform for millions of Americans is likely to be increased pestering.� - Los Angeles Times, 4/2/01 **************************** Reagan vs. Johnson �Columnist E.J. Dionne has joined the chorus of those who think there are too many buildings and public works being named in honor of Ronald Reagan. He recently proclaimed that the nation should celebrate only those presidents whose achievements �transcend ideology.� He wonders, though, why Americans so unappreciate presidents like (hyper-ideologue) Lyndon Johnson. The answer is simple. Mr. Reagan�s ideas worked. Johnson�s didn�t.� - Columnist Alvin Felzenberg *************************** Reinventing Amerika �He was alive for barely two years of the Clinton administration, but somehow in the new book �The Irrepressible Rothbard� the late Libertarian economist Murray N. Rothbard nails the previous decade from the first page to the last, as reflected in this preview of Mr. Rothbard's essays: �In the 1990s, the culture became a tool of coercion. Using affirmative action, discriminatory taxation, hate-crime laws, bribes to states and localities, selective investigations, military adventures, and armed federal cops, the Clinton administration was doing far more than interfering in the economy. It was attempting to reconstruct American life.� " - John McCaslin�s �Inside the Beltway,� 4/2/01 ************************** Selective �Ferocity� �For the past six weeks, Mary Jo White, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, has been in control of the investigation into the questionable pardons and commutations that Bill Clinton approved on his last day in office. That�s bad news for Mr. Clinton, according to New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who reported that Ms. White�s tennis partners have nicknamed her Sid Vicious because of the �ferocity� the federal prosecutor displays on the tennis court. �Unfortunately, Ms. White, who was appointed by none other than President Clinton eight years ago, has been anything but ferocious in her four-year investigation of the political fund-raising and money-laundering scandal that has implicated some of the most powerful leaders of the Democratic Party and the American labor movement. Indeed, while Ms. White may pursue terrorist bombers with admirable tenacity, the results so far of her seemingly endless �investigation� into the Democrats� political corruption scandal have been less than spectacular.� - Washington Times editorial, 4/2/01 ************************** Jesse Jackson: An Equal Opportunity Extortionist �For decades Rev. Jesse Jackson has picketed, prayed and negotiated on behalf of unions, and now the Chicago Tribune has uncovered what the unions do for Jackson. Some give money to Jackson's groups, and a few pick up costs for salary and benefits' packages for Jackson's staffers. Among those benefiting from the arrangement with the Hotel Employees & Restaurant Employees Int'l Union was Karin Stanford, Jackson's ex-mistress and ex-employee. In 1999, Stanford received a salary rate of $35,000 from HERE plus health-care and other benefits, according to HERE. �Jackson's solicitations to unions are blunt according to Gary Massoni of Rainbow/PUSH Coalition: �When Rev. Jackson meets with union leaders, he says, I've been involved in labor rights. I've got three things I want you to do,� and asks the bosses to put �someone on the staff payroll,� take part in his events, and make a �cash contribution.� HERE boss John W. Wilhelm praised Jackson: �He's been with us on strikes all over the country.� Other unions which have reportedly given are NEA, IATSE, USWA and locals of UFCW and SElU.� - National Legal Policy Center, 3/30/01 ---------------------------- You Have to Be Active To Be An Activist Contact your senator or congressman by calling: (202) 224-3121 Contact the White House by calling: (202) 456-1414 ��������������������������� Learn Before You Get Burned Don�t play politics blind.
