How did General Motors repay it’s bailout?

Nick Gillespie of Reason explains:

Dan Riehl recently posted a video throwback to the the 2008 presidential campaign which was featured on Instapundit and Reason.

It got me thinking about the 2008 election and I suddenly remembered the “Obamacans.” Remember these morons?

Susan Eisenhower is more than just another disappointed Republican. She is also Ike’s granddaughter and a dedicated member of the party who has urged her fellow Republicans in the past to stick with the GOP. But now Eisenhower, who runs an international consulting firm, is endorsing Barack Obama. She has no plans to officially leave the Republican Party. But in Eisenhower’s view, Obama is the only candidate who can build a national consensus on the issues most important to her—energy, global warming, an aging population and America’s standing in the world.

Former GOP congressman Joe Scarborough, who anchors MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” says many conservative friends—including Bush officials and evangelical Christians—sent him enthusiastic e-mails after seeing Obama’s post-election speeches in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. “He doesn’t attack Republicans, he doesn’t attack whites and he never seems to draw these dividing lines that Bill Clinton [does],” Scarborough told NEWSWEEK.

I wonder how the “Obamacans” will be voting in 2010 and 2012.

I bet I can guess…

Libertarian TV!!!

Don’t forget to check out the John Stossel show which premieres tonight at 8 pm on the FOX Business Channel. You can always watch Bill O’Reilly at 11.

The show is called “Stossel” and the first show will feature Nick Gillespie of Reason.com discussing the relevance of Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged, global warming and how to fix health care – from a free market perspective, no doubt.

Don’t miss it!

Be sure to stay with this to the end.

Nick Gillespie of Reason.com points out that government has a deep interest in the war between UPS and Federal Express.

Federal Express is a private enterprise. UPS has heavy union support. Guess which team the Obama Administration is rooting for…

Fun fact: John Mackey voted for Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr in 2008. Who knew?

Gillespie:

“If you’re a Libertarian, does your future depend on the health of the Republican Party?”

Reynolds:

“If you’re a Libertarian, neither party is all that great but the Republicans are clearly less bad.”

I disagree with Glenn Reynolds on only one point and that is his view of Sarah Palin. He says she wasn’t ready for national politics. I say the media had/has a crystal clear agenda to destroy her. Moreover, as a state governor she was/is more qualified for national office than Obama, Biden and McCain combined.
