Eminent Domain
 Some family folk and Democrats are chagrined at the party responses to events this week.
Coyote Gulch recommends that the players vacate Washington D.C. for a visit back home. Out here on the Rooftop of America the visit should last until the columbines are past their prime. We recommend a saunter up Sunshine Peak. You'll be entertained by the meadows on the way up and won't even feel the climb.
Back to the politics. The constant bickering is so unproductive. They should be rushing to pass legislation to lay out the will of the people on the issue of eminent domain.
It looks like Holland and Hart are going to get into the discussion around Guantanamo Bay.
Fort Collins Coloradan: "State Republican Party Chairman Bob Martinez on Wednesday called on Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo and other lawmakers to 'back off' of their criticism of President Bush's immigration policy." Thanks to MakesMeRalph for the link.
Colorado Luis: "One of the main slurs against people like me who think that there should be widespread access to citizenship for people who have productively lived in this country for years without the benefit of official paperwork is that all we are trying to do is pump up the numbers of the supposedly monolithic Latino voting bloc for the Democrats. I've always maintained that there is no truth to that because it is the new citizens who are the most conservative. "
Bull Moose: "The Moose asks whether Rove will be Durbinized?"
Blogs for Bush: "Liberal Democrats and lefty bloggers alike are fuming over Karl Rove's criticism of how Democrats responded to 9/11... An objective look at the facts will show not only that Rove's comments last night were accurate, but also long overdue."
Political Wire: "Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R), 'who has acknowledged that he is considering a presidential run, said his wife's health is his main concern as he weighs his political future,' the AP reports."
Mt. Virtus: "Sorry - but that type of apology isn't good enough for my wife when I've done her wrong ("I'm sorry, dear, if I said anything that might have offended you"), and it sure isn't good enough for a United States Senator whose outlandish statement has become a propaganda tool for our enemy and have put our servicemen and women at greater risk."
Western Democrat: "More interesting to me than a lot of what is going in in New Mexico, Colorado and Montana is how the Democratic Party in Idaho is coming back from not even having fielded a candidate for the Senate seat last year. That's almost like giving up on a Governor's race. Not quite that bad, but its pretty bad."
Political Wire: "An EMILY's List report finds that Republican support among women 'has dropped significantly since November, creating an opening for Democratic and female candidates in next year's midterm elections,' Roll Call reports. 'Among women who supported President Bush six months ago, just 66 percent said they will definitely support Republican Congressional candidates next year while one-third said they will either vote Democratic or are undecided, with the bulk of them being undecided.'"
