Jeff Endorses Cherilyn Eagar for US Senate

I just wanted to quickly say that I have been studying up on the candidates for US Senate here in Utah. I have been very disappointed with Senator Bennet, and it is not just because I want to "throw out the bums" (although I do). Senator Bennet has voted for, and even written much of TARP, supports a revised version of President Obama's health care bill known as the Wyden-Bennett bill .... etc. This man is not a constitutional conservative by any stretch of the imagination. He is a staunch supporter of and has given entire speeches about Keynsian economics, which is an inherently socialist ideology which teaches that massive government spending and debt is the best way to save the free market from its inherent problems. Yuck! Cherilyn Eagar on the other hand appears to be well versed in and understands free market principles and the limited government that comes with them. I really think that she gets the Constitution. Anyways, I would encourage everyone here in Utah to have a look at her website and read up on her. If you are a member of the republican party here in Utah your precinct caucus will be held on Tuesday March 23rd. Even if you are not registered as a republican you can register at the caucus. Your precinct leadership as well as county and state delegates will be elected at this meeting. The state delegate will then have the opportunity to attend the state nominating convention and vote for who will get the party nomination for all statewide offices. This means that if you are a conservative your precinct caucus may be your ONLY chance to have your voice be heard. If Bennet gets at least 60% of the votes at the convention then he gets the nomination and the only choice you get is between socialist Bennet and a socialist democrat in November. So please, attend your precinct meeting and support a delegate (or run yourself) who supports a candidate you like. Anyways, now go ahead a look at the cute pictures of Mae.

A New Post!!!

That's right, I've finally gotten around to posting some updated pictures of Mae. She has gotten so big! She is very opinionated too. Here are some pictures of our little bumble bee:

Sick babies, school and politics

So we are slackers. We haven't written since Christmas, I know. School started again and things have gotten really crazy around here. Mae has been vomiting for the last four days, but is finally beginning to get better. She was sick for her first birthday party. What a bummer. I'm going to keep this post short, so I can play with Mae now that she is feeling better. I just wanted to say hello and post links to a couple of great articles that I have come across. I've been reading and hearing all sorts of commentary in the media comparing President Bush to President Hoover, and President Obama to FDR. Implicit in this comparison is a belief that both President Bush and Hoover were ardent supporters of laissez-fair capitalism, and that these are the policies that have lead to the current economic issues and the great depression. The fact of the matter is, that both of these presidents had very heavy handed ecomonic policies, which is where the root of both crises lies. The first article discusses the misconception about the free-market principles of Presidents Bush and Hoover (Click here to read it). The other one is from the CFO of a major bank who has watched the current crisis from the beginning. It outlines the true causes of the current economic crisis are (Click here to read it). Just a little bit for you to think about. That's all for now.
