Absolutely right on every point, Star. We don't GET freedom from our government, but we NEED freedom from our government.

I wish this could be made required reading for all Conservatives in Congress. Heck - for all of the Congresscritters! Great article.

The fact that "former Gov. Pete Wilson and Sen. John McCain of Arizona are backing Whitman" is reason enough not to consider them. Neither of them is a conservative - who wants a candidate that they'd push?? Poizner is a much better choice.

People still watch the news???? When they can get much better information online??? I guess that's proof of the dumbing-down of America

I'm building a list of "conservative" writers that I won't bother reading any more based on how they react to her resignation. You've just earned a spot on that list, Mr. Chapman. This was one of the stupidest articles I've read all week - and there have been some really stupid articles this week. Bye-bye Chappie - Townhall should dump you, too. It's highly insulting to TH's readers to say that we vote based on looks....that's like saying we'd vote for someone because he was black.....what? You did??? Well, that's not hard to belive...so long, sucka.

WHY oh why is Kathleen Parker still on Townhall??? She may be too pretty for the Dems, but she's too brain-dead for the Conservatives. Dump her.

Townhall needs a new button - Albert from CA's post isn't actually Offensive....misguided, ill-informed, condescending, but not offensive. What's needed here is an additional button: "Flag as idiotic"
