GOP American Action Network: Move Over Tea Parties, or ....

Six Republicans are establishing a new political organization, the American Action Network, to organize "grass-roots support" and raise funds for the November 2010 mid-term elections.

The organization will be a 501(c)4 with Rep. Eric Cantor's (R-VA) senior aide, Rob Collins, serving as the first executive director. Founding Republican leadership: former Florida Governor, Jeb Bush, former Minnesota Senator, Norm Coleman, Republican strategist Ed Gillespie, Republican donor Fred Malek, and former GW Bush adviser, the Architect, Karl Rove.

Establishment conservatives apparently...finally, get it...maybe: grass-roots patriots mean business, and part of that business is NEVER supporting limp-wristed pretty boys and girls for candidates?

Is this a "move over Tea Parties, the big boys have arrived?"

If the mindset is constitutional conservatism, American Action Network will succeed. If the mindset is "business as usual," they better start looking for other sources for election funding.

At least Newt Gingrich isn't a part of this bunch.

Al Frankens Committees: Repubs Send $95,000 to Franken

The Repubs sent $95,000 to Al Franken's Senate office. According to law, Republicans had to pay-up for partial costs of the lawsuit defending former Senator Norm Coleman's Minnesota senate seat.

Al Franken - Minnesota Senator

Al Franken's committees have been assigned: the Senate Judiciary Committee as well as the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, the Committee on Special Aging and the Indian Affairs Committee, will enjoy Franken's lively input.

Lady Justice

With Obama's devotion to the United Nations, Franken's swearing-in, Republican filibuster a fond memory, Franken on the Judiciary, and Sotomayor a sure bet, it's time to call things as they are and change the name of Lady Justice to Lady Social Justice. Can someone do a graphic of Lady Liberty without her blinders on, because they have just been rudely riped asunder?
