'Weekend At Bernie's' Party Members Becoming Obama-Cons

Conservative financial theorist Larry Hunter, who helped put together the economics passages in the Gingrich-led Contract with America of the mid-1990s, and who served as chief economist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, views the Republican Party as a "dead, rotting carcass with a few decrepit old leaders stumbling around like zombies in a horror version of Weekend at Bernie's, handcuffed to a corpse."

Unless the Republican Party is thoroughly purged of its current leadership, Hunter fears that it "will pollute the political environment to toxic levels and create an epidemic that could damage the country for generations to come."

Hunter is now an Obama supporter. Like other conservatives who see hope in a break with the past, he concedes that Obama is saying the wrong things on taxes but dismisses it as electioneering. Of far greater importance, in Hunter's view, is that Obama has the potential to "scramble the political deck, break up old alliances, and bring odd bedfellows together in a new coalition."

Many other examples in 'Mr. Right?,' an article on "Obama-cons" by Bruce Bartlett in the The New Republic.

Greetings from Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, France.Does your blog get a lot of junk
posts? I'm a blogger too and I'm thinking about how many people have
the same dilemma. A number of us have started some effective procedures and we are looking to swap ideas with others.
Why not shoot me an e-mail if interested?

I found your blog on http://adoredbyhordes.blogspot.
com/ and I'm extremely grateful I have. It's as though you read my mind.
You come across as knowing so much about this, as if you published the book on
it or something. I think that you can do with a few
pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that,
this is great blog. I will undoubtedly be back.

My name is %name&% and first off I want to say excellent post.
If you don't mind, I just have one quick question. What do you do to clear your thoughts and find your center of focus before you sit down to write? I have had problems with clearing my mind in order to get my ideas out. I love writing once I get into the act, but most of the time I feel as if I end up losing the first 10 to 15 minutes driving myself to focus. Any ideas or suggestions?

You really make it seem so easy with your demonstration but I find
this topic to be honestly a matter that I feel I'd hardly understand. It seems too complicated and extremely extensive for myself. Still, I'm keen to see what you have to say in next posts: hopefully I'll be able to grasp it sooner or later.

Undeniably I do believe what you stated regarding rent car in puerto vallarta.
Your preferred explanation seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to know.
I could say, I definitely get irked when people look at worries which they just don't know about. You handled to hit the nail upon the top and even explained the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. I'll very likely return for more.
Cheers
