Ried is a scoundrel.

All they are doing is giving more fodder for McCain.
If it would have passed then nobody cares.
Same thing on the drill hoax bill. McCain should have
plenty of money going into the stretch. Obama is
already sucking wind. Without the MSM cheering him on
he has nothing. I cannot wait for the debates.

Typical of Reid.

to fight his political wars?

The backroom BS going on here is disgusting, and needs to be brought to light.

Obama is again on the defensive. After McCain/Palin’s stump speech in Cedar Rapids, IA this morning, Obama is replying by using the same old lines of: “shake up/reform with who? The 7 powerful lobbyists running your campaign?”. He is urging his supporters to “argue and get in their face” (drudgereport) and that “he may be skinny but he’s tough” (b/c he was bred in Chicago machine politics). As it goes … but McCain/Palin’s strategy with less than fifty days out is very good as they are moving from a “post-convention Palin surge” wave riding, into a full out tag team on the economy and energy. Today’s speeches by both highlight specifics and action that needs to be taken (SEC chair firing, creation of new MFI Trust, eliminate naked short selling, reinstate uptick rule). Moreover, Palin noted that McCain has discussed with her an expanded role as VP to include spearheading energy independence initiatives (she oversees 20% of our nation’s domestic production as Alaska gov.) and also having a key role in reforming government (administrative branch).

And then there is accountability: Palin mentioned, “I’ll put the nation’s checkbook online like I did with Alaska’s checkbook”. People like to hear that. A perfect compliment to McCain’s “if I get a bill with pork / earmarks, I will veto it and make the author of that earmark famous.” Accountability and Visibility/Transparency is what raises comfort levels between an electorate that has little confidence with the federal government and the officials running the place. This is a good move by the McCain campaign. The independents will trust McCain/Palin much more than they would Obama who comes off as more self-interested, his ideas, rather than country first. People like to see and hear for themselves, and want a leader that will take care of the ENTIRE country, not simply move its pieces around to create social equality. Pushing an agenda while promoting transparency so the people can more easily hold their leaders accountable has been lacking and draws a stark contrast to the current administration without saying as much. So much for the “Bush’s thrid term” argument. Obama’s time is dwindling – I predict a “pull out all the stops” desperation atmosphere that will increase as the days go by – which will result in a loss of coordination and unity of messaging in the campaign – gaffe time, and a lost election for the left.

McCain / Palin.

   The only thing saving Senator Reid’s butt in this is the apparent lack of thinking voters in his state (or the presence of voters in his hip pocket outnumbering those who aren’t) which keeps him in this position.  The more I hear about the Pelosi-Reid Congress, the more I think about what happened in the later stages of republican Rome, when a handfull of self-appointed “leaders” took potshots at whomever they wanted to see destroyed and the intensity of the whole affair escalated until it was basically a shooting war (with swords and spears instead of guns).  Those who bother to read their history know what resulted from that.

   Sometimes I feel like turning the state of Nevada back into a desert over things like this…

[abstains from swearing]

If only most Americans could take the 30 seconds necessary to read these 7 short paragraphs, perhaps they would have a better understanding of what total rejects this blue senate is comprised of. While some political gaming is expected this is the equivalent of an NBA FLAGRANT FOUL.

The fact that all of this ridiculous maneuvering taxpayers’ expense is intended to generate positive press or talking points for Biden while explaining its disingenuousness is prohibitively laborious for a debate or commercial time allotment is infuriating.

We gotta keep this story in a “lock box” and make sure the people of Nevada are reminded of it next time Senate elections come around.

that Democrats are not honorable people who “simply have a different view” (thank you GWB).

Elected Democrats in this country are the enemy. What do we get in DC? Idiots like Hagel & Chafee. People who think bipartisanship is good.

We should be enticing Democrats to reach across the aisle. And then chop their arms off when they do. It’s war for the soul of the nation folks. I don’t know that our Party has the will to fight. They’ve never demonstrated that they do.

She’d help subsidize this if it would get her new hero elected.

And Harry Reid is an ^%$#@@#$%%%&^% and a $%&%&#^&$#%^.

Proper grammar saves lives.

Let’s eat Grandma.
Let’s eat, Grandma.

Investigating Internet crimes against children:Seeking a new law enforcement paradigm

Dr. Frank Kardasz

April 14, 2008, Revised: August 22, 2008

Abstract

For the first time in history, law enforcement officers in the 21st century possess proactive methods to
identify and bring to justice those who sexually abuse minors. In years past, law enforcement had to wait
for reports of child abuse before investigations could begin. But today, using innovative undercover
techniques and the Internet, investigators can proactively seek out and apprehend offenders. Although this
is one of the greatest advancements in the history of the enforcement of crimes against children,
investigators still cannot take full advantage of the innovations. This work explores some of the
stakeholders in the cyber-struggle and the troubling reasons that more resources are not devoted to the
growing problem. The work explores legal, systemic, societal and psychological hurdles related to Internet
crimes against children and suggests a new law enforcement paradigm that better recognizes such crimes.
