Corruption Daily Round-Up 12-01



POLITICAL CORRUPTION

Howard Dean Declares Debate Between Capitalism and Socialism to Be Over - VIDEO I especially like the last bit where he says the democrats are now on "permanent campaign" (oh goody) and America is becoming more like Europe. Ugh.

A New Alliance for Criminal Justice Reform? Don't Count On It.

Mad As Hell
If you were a Congressman, these numbers would make you tremble: Scott Rasmussen finds that an astonishing 71 percent of voters describe themselves as angry at the current policies of the federal government. That's up five percent since September. A plurality of 46 percent say they are "very angry" at the federal government. That's up 10 percent since September.

Not surprisingly, voters continue to reject the Democrats' health care proposals by, currently, 53-41 percent.

And, while the Republicans have not been able to take advantage of voter disenchantment with the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats as effectively as they might, voters trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight of ten issues, including the economy (48-36), taxes (47-36) and national security (50-37).

The Democrats have less than a year to turn those attitudes around. Currently, voters' negative views of the Democrats are hardening, not softening.

Your Tax dollars at work - Nancy Pelosi spends $2,993 on flowers. The only person more scummy than Pelosi is Boxer. That woman is a waste of skin.

Excellent post on the necessity of shame/stigma for a healthy functioning civil society. What's Stigmata With You? Heavily linked.

Gatecrash Update - While I do not approve of anything that puts a United States President in jeopardy, I do kinda admire the chutzpah of these folks. Still, they probably broke the law.

Movement under way in California to ban divorce. Good. Divorce should be hard.

Sarah Palin's Governing Philosophy Emerges In "Going Rogue"
Palin not only has a keen grasp of the details of governing and budgeting, she also understands the political difficulties inherent in making government responsive. Many of her antagonists at the national level scoffed at the notion that her experience in Wasilla was of any value. Quite the contrary, local government is where a public official's decisions have the most direct impact on the electorate. It's where you really have to understand the ins and outs of what you're doing.
