Think George Allen, think George Bush
Allen Votes Like Bush Clone

Editor, Times-Dispatch: Senator George Allen hasn't taken any positions against the Bush-Cheney administration, and hasn't even prudently distanced himself from its several mishaps and misfortunes -- at least to my knowledge. I find this astonishing, given that Allen apparently has some ambition not only to be re-elected Senator but to be the Republican presidential candidate.

What could he be thinking? When voters consider him for office -- either office -- they will associate him with a war of choice, with incommensurate and inappropriate tax reductions and huge deficits, with secretive and unconstitutional eavesdropping on American citizens -- in short, voters will connect George Allen with a multitude of blunders and misjudgments generated by an incredibly inept and duplicitous administration.

My own guess is, he will find it convenient to return to the proverbial private life to spend more time with his family. It is hard to believe that Virginians would want more of what we now have coming out of this administration. Think George Allen, think George Bush. Ramsey Martin. ivy.

2. What's Bushs approval rating right now
Maybe Webb or Miller whoever our nominee is can use that against him similiarly to how Bush campaigning for Jerry Kilgore hurt Kilgore last fall. I actually think Allen may be worse than Bush in some ways so I would love to see him run for president in 08 and get thrashed.

PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN'S 95TH BIRTHDAY
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/R?r109:FLD001:S50721
February 06, 2006
Today, because of Ronald Reagan, there are literally hundreds of millions of people who were once locked behind the Iron Curtain living in countries we now know as free countries--Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, former East Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and added countries such as Ukraine and Georgia, which are now tasting that sweet nectar of liberty as opposed to being behind the Iron Curtain.




HONORING THE 94TH ANNIVERSARY OF PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN'S BIRTH
http://www.washingtonwatchdog.org/environmental_justice/documents/cr/05/fe/03/cr03fe05-25.html
February 3, 2005

Today, thanks to Ronald Reagan, as I saw Ambassadors on
the House floor from Lithuania, from Romania, throughout Central
Europe--those were hundreds of millions of people who were behind the
Iron Curtain. But, thanks to Ronald Reagan's perseverance, for his
belief in the dignity of all human beings, that all people do yearn to
be free, to exercise their God-given rights, those people who were
behind that Iron Curtain, who were enemies, are now tasting that sweet
nectar of liberty.

Because of President Reagan's steadfast determination, hundreds of millions of people tasting that sweet nectar of liberty in central Europe are now friends and allies," said Senator Allen.

Ronald Reagan's election changed the dynamic of the Cold War from one of containment and co-existence to the advancement of freedom. As a result, hundreds of millions of people in Central Europe, once behind the Iron Curtain, now taste the sweet nectar of liberty, have joined NATO, and are true friends and allies.

Senator Allen's Tribute to President Reagan
June 8, 2004

But President Reagan believed the blessings of liberty must not be bestowed only on a few nations and only to those blessed to be born on free soil; Ronald Reagan, with the strength of his convictions, exported and advanced democracy to continents, countries, and people yearning to taste the sweet nectar of libert.

4. Let's not forget...
he was one of the primary bobble-headed Bushbots during the Terry Schiavo controversy as well. I think Allen basically has a hot line into Rove's office so that he can figure out what the hell he's doing on a day to day basis.

5. Allen represents the Bush Admin in the Senate, not Virginia.
He is Bush Lite and will become Bush clone if given the chance.

Don't forget the racist High School prank and his confederate flag waving while he was still living in California. Make sure this gets out in the open in the fall.
