Mike McGavick is running for Maria Cantwell's Senate seat here in Wash. McGavick seems to be a decent guy, but he's essentially running as a liberal. No reason to replace one liberal with another; and I'd much rather have an honestly labeled liberal like Cantwell. What's interesting about McGavick's campaign is that he is running on
McCain's coattails. Listening to his ads, you'd assume that McCain was the current president!
Here is his latest TV ad, which illustrates the approach perfectly.

this bit of idiocy from Kindler Gentler Georgie. In the middle of a war, when he should be using executive orders to work around bad "judges" and to open up territory for oil drilling, he instead uses an executive order to spend yet more money on yet one more Federal program that will accomplish exactly nothing except spending yet more money.
AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!-----
One piece of good news: The House (barely) approved Steve King's amendment to the Homeland Security omnibus bill, which forbids funding any city or state that offers sanctuary to illegal immigrants!
This will, of course, never make it through reconciliation. Nevertheless, as we die painfully of radiation burns after Persia's attack, it will be nice to remember that some small bit of our government was not 100% treasonous.
