All who read our columns know that there is much to criticize when it comes to
Israel's media; too many infractions of ethical codes; to many laws regularly
ignored; ineffective regulatory bodies; inadequate financial oversight. Its
interference in politics, economics and societal issues can be deleterious to
the media consumer, who is all too often misinformed and misled.All
these and more have demonstrably harmed Israel's democratic fabric.But
none of these factors were the reason Reporters without Borders, in its ranking
of freedom of the press, dropped Israel this year to the 112th place, down from
92, out of 179 countries.No, the organization gave Israel bad marks
based on actions carried out during "Operation Pillar of Cloud" in the Gaza
Strip. The group claimed the IDF "launched a deliberate assault on journalists
and media buildings associated with Hamas, in addition to Israel's continuous
arrests of Palestinian reporters."Reporters without Borders has a rather
strange approach towards measuring freedom of speech when it comes to Israel. It
differentiates between "Israel within the Green Line," where Israel was ranked
40, and Judea and Samaria, where it was ranked 150. The final number is then
obtained by some adjusted measure of the two.The organization admitted
that Israel's journalists "have full freedom of expression; however military
censorship still poses a structural problem."This is not the first time
that this advocacy group has attacked Israel based not only on its own political
bias but on a seemingly naïve outlook on the unfolding of events between Israel
and its neighbors. Nor is this the only international media organ to demean
Israel's press standards.We wish to make it quite clear: Israel's media
is very free, perhaps even too free. This is documented in many
ways.Israel has a system of ombudsmen appointed to supervise the
broadcast media, whether the state-sponsored Israel Broadcasting Authority's
television channels and multiple radio stations, the IDF's Galatz radio, the
Second Radio and Television Authority's two commercial television stations
(Channel 2 and Channel 10), 16 regional radio outlets and Educational Television
Network.However, complaints are poorly handled; no fixed system of
punishment exists. Israel's press council, a voluntary oversight body, is also
rather powerless.Program hosts offer the public their personal opinions
unchecked. They can label one politician or social activist an "extremist,"
while ignoring the extremism of another. The ultra- Orthodox can be
discriminated against and termed "parasites."Sexist remarks can be
uttered with no more than a finger-wagging from a supervisory forum.
Foulmouthing is rampant. An Army Radio editor, Golan Yochpaz, is free to become
an editor, for two years, of Yair Lapid's Channel 2 show while continuing to
edit the army station's news.There is a lot of freedom in Israel's
media.Our printed press, which originated over 150 years ago (HaLevanon
was founded in 1863), is robust and hard-hitting. Haaretz has been so
consistently anti-government in its positions that Menachem Begin famously
quipped: "The last time a Haaretz editorial was published that was
pro-government was during the Mandate period, when the British
ruled."Indeed, complaints about anti- Semitic caricatures appearing in
newspapers abroad seem quite ludicrous when considering some of the cartoons
appearing in Haaretz.Consider the following: Yediot Aharonot, following
the announcement that Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer intended to
resign, headlined its report, "No confidence in Netanyahu." The reporter, Sever
Plocker, formerly of the Marxist Al-Hamishmar daily, wrote that Fischer's
departure was "a vote of no confidence... even if Fischer himself denies
it."Although reporters are supposed to have the inside track on their
beats, the liberties he – and his editors – took with the facts here is
problematic. After all, Fischer stated that all is mostly fine with Israel's
economy, and that he had full confidence in the policies of the prime minister
(indeed, other reporters even speculated that Fischer might become foreign
minister).But in Israel's too-free press fact and fantasy may
intermingle – as long as it serves the interests of editors and
journalists.Israel's media is much too free to browbeat and intimidate
parliamentarians.They do not hesitate to use threatening language in the
Knesset's committee sessions, with the aim of assuring continued public funding
and financial support for their failure.A failing television outlet
(Channel 10), whose owners have repeatedly, for nearly a decade, played the
scoundrel with respect to their legal commitments regarding fees and repayment
of debt are free to continue their flaunting of law and order, with hardly any
public outcry.ARGUABLY, HOWEVER, the best evidence of the exaggerated
freedom of our journalists is the phenomenon of journalists going into politics
– there will be nine in the 19th Knesset.Journalists have become used to
using their position to create political facts on the ground.Can one
forget that Shelly Yacimovich, together with Carmela Menashe, almost
single-handedly caused Israel's rout in South Lebanon by their subversion of the
public discourse? Or the fact that Yacimovich not only used her journalistic
freedom to support MK Amir Peretz in 2006, but a few weeks later joined his
party? Yair Lapid, whose main claim to professional fame is as a columnist and
interview show host, is another one of those who realized the power of politics.
Indeed, he may become one of the most senior cabinet members.When
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz first became a member of Knesset and sought to
pass legislation that would limit the ability of a media outlet to remain a
virtual monopoly, he had to face a boycott by the Yediot Aharonot news
association.Our media has little respect for the free speech of
others.Nor does Israel's media does not limit itself to attacking
politicians.The wealthy have also become targets.Sheldon and Dr.
Miriam Adelson are always knock-worthy – especially since they believe that
Israel should have true freedom of speech and plurality in its media.The
fact that the publisher of Israel's largest paid-circulation newspaper, Arnon
(Noni) Mozes of Yediot Aharonot, is very much a tycoon himself, with extensive
holdings in the media market and outside of it is not of great interest. Perhaps
because he also holds what the media conceive to be "politically correct"
attitudes toward Israel's relations with the Arab world.In contrast to
the media, Israel's public is far more open-minded. Last week's TGI readership
survey indicates that while Mozes' flagship paper (there are also local
weeklies) is read by 37.4 percent of the Israeli public , the free daily owned
by Sheldon Adelson, Israel HaYom, has overtaken it and has 39.9 percent of the
readership on weekdays.Mozes also maintains a premier online news site
and portal, Ynet, and a former editor of his paper, Rafi Ginat, has now been
selected to be the head of Channel 10.As we noted in our column of last
December 19 (and also of November 16, 2011), the continued outlandish financial
support for Channel 10 from state bodies, through various exemptions and
benefits, reported to be over $400 million, was obtained via blatant violation
of the democratic process.As Israel HaYom's Gonen Ginat phrased it, the
channel's directorate succeeded by "waving the flag of 'freedom of the press'
and making false accusations of 'stifling free speech.'" This past Monday
evening, Channel 10's Raviv Drucker broadcast a piece of investigative
journalism on Israel HaYom – which had been held back until Channel 10's
extension arrangement with the government had been finalized – which Israel
HaYom's editor, Amos Regev, dismissed as a hatchet job.Our politicians
are far from being as astute as the Israeli public.They do not
understand the importance of media pluralism, nor of their duty to refrain from
pouring public funds into failing media outlets.Israel's broadcast media
networks feel themselves quite free to circumvent the laws that obligate
pluralism. Too many elements within Israeli society are
marginalized.Political opinions, cultural views, religious outlooks,
ethnic uniqueness which do not fit in to the stereotype of our "liberal,"
"educated" and "open" media personnel are usually ignored.The Reporters
without Borders document was outrageous in its mendacious portrayal of what
happened in Gaza during the latest anti-terror campaign, ignoring international
law in its protection of Hamas and al-Qaida "media personnel."Reporters
without Borders could contribute positively to our media if it undertook a
politically unbiased and open look at it.In our opinion, our media
indeed does not deserve to be at the top of the list of countries in which
freedom of the speech is respected – because it is much too free to do as it
pleases.The authors are, respectively, vice chairman and chairman of
Israel's Media Watch, www.imw.org.il

Red Apple Lipstick – Audrey, Naughty, French Skirt
November 17, 2014 Leave a comment
About two months ago I was sent a couple of lipsticks to review from Red Apple Lipstick, a cruelty-free brand that makes paraben-free and gluten-free cosmetics. As I've been making the shift away from mass market makeup to "green" cosmetics (due to my dry skin issues), I've started paying more attention whenever bloggers and vloggers mention natural and green brands and Red Apple Lipstick happens to be one of the brands that I've noticed lots of people raving about lately. In fact, one of my favorite YouTubers, makeupTIA who reviews not only high end but drugstore makeup and everything in between, has raved about Red Apple lipsticks several times in her videos. So when Red Apple Lipstick offered to send me their lipsticks to try I was super excited.

Weeklong AoL for Police at Roing concludes
ROING, Nov 23: The week long Art of Living course conducted by the district police department as part of community policing as a campaign against alcohol and drug abuse, in association with Enjalu Menda Women's Empowerment Forum (EMWEF), Dibang Adi Women's Association (DAWA), Navyuga Engineering Company Limited and NHPC, concluded today.

The participants gave positive feedback on the programme pronouncing it extremely beneficial and even going to the extent of requesting the police department to conduct such programmes on a regular basis. SP Gupta said that he is extremely happy with the success of this programme and has already planned for its second phase to start from the 29th of this month.
DSP Hailyang said that such programmes help in connecting the police with the common people on a different level and such understanding between the two makes policing more comfortable for both parties.
A toilet for every house: Jambey Tashi
Tawang, Nov 23: Parliamentary secretary for RWD, Jambey Tashi joined the celebrations at the 4 day Palden LhamoTorgya festival at Marmang Gonpa in Dundunghar circle yesterday.
Speaking on the occasion, the parliamentary secretary and the local MLA exhorted the huge gathering of devotees on the vitality of preserving culture and tradition. He expressed his gratitude to the abbot of the monastery for initiating the festival and providing a platform to the far flung villages of the circle to come together and showcase their culture and tradition.
"With the youth of the district dazzled and blindfolded with the blaze of modernization, our most treasured asset is in the verge of extinction" he said.
"We must learn and absorb it from the elders and pass it to the younger generation as inheritance" he added.
Further, he stressed on cleanliness and hygiene while urging the villagers to focus on construction of toilets in every house.
Terming open defecation as the root cause of many health issues in Lumla circle, he laid emphasis on 'a toilet for every house'.
Former abbot of Tawang monastery, Reverend Gyalsey Rinpochey called on the devotees to follow the teachings of Lord Buddha and practice it in daily life. "Practice non violence and do not envy others achievements, rather rejoice their success and strive to emulate it" he preached.
Abbot of the monastery, Reverend Jampa Chonjor, who is believed to have founded the monastery in his first incarnation, spoke eloquently on the importance of art and culture while informing that the festival will be made an annual event.
Earlier, Reverend Gyaltse Rinpochey bestowed Tsewang (blessings for long and prosperous life) to the hundred of devotees from across the circle and the neighbouring country Bhutan.
Finally, the curtains on the 4 day Torgya revelry were drawn with colourful cultural programmes at the 374 year old monastery. (Contributed by Lham Tsering, Chief Editor, Mon Tawang Vigilance)

Once again, another great book. If you don't fall in love with Justin then there's something wrong with you. It was a little more slow going that the others, as in the sense of I feel there wasn't as much drama, but still great (and definitely hot at the end).Was this review helpful?

This extension is a must for everyone serious about selling online as it gives you plenty of different ways to keep in touch with your customers without having to do anything yourself.
There is a huge list of tags to play with and the email editor is a very welcome feature.
To say that the developer support is great is an understatement. The developer is quick to respond and solved my problem in no time. I was having an issue with the emails which was actually related to another component that was overriding the emails. Despite not being the fault of Interamind's component, they fixed it for me.
5 stars more than well deserved!
Thank you for this great review. We try hard to keep our customers happy :)
I had a few difficulties with getting the component working but that was due to not setting up the component properly (my mistake). The developers replied promptly to my emails and got everything up and running for me in no time. The level of service so far has been outstanding to say the least.
I would suggest this extension for every store (i installed it on my vM2 store)

Warm, encouraging and generous. Vain, power-hungry and stubborn. Bosses come in all moods and molds, and figuring out what makes your boss tick isn't always easy. However, tarot can come in handy as you draw on the archetypes of one of the 22 major arcana cards to help you determine the nature and personality of the person who signs your paycheck.
Learn more today by visiting our Tarot Center!
Share a free sample Sensual Synergy. The stars reveal the secrets of your relationship with the Sensual Synergy Reading.
For example, if the Empress is your boss, she'll have a few determining characteristics that make her easy to identify. Let's take a closer look ...
At her best -- the Empress boss is almost always female, though "she" can also be a deeply woman-identified man -- this nurturing boss oozes compassion and support. She acts as your mentor, encouraging your skills and gifts while looking for opportunities to help you shine.
Like a mother in the workplace, this employer wants only the best for you. One of the most positive of the tarot boss archetypes, the Empress is the essence of divine feminine energy. She symbolizes the abundance of nature, overflowing with gifts and treasures to share with others. Her creativity is seemingly endless, and she shines in fields that involve art, fashion, food and education. When your Empress boss is happy, the whole world seems happy, as the force of her personality can affect everyone around her.
On the flipside, imagine your mother when she becomes irritated. Like a raging tornado, the Empress in a bad mood is force of nature. Vengeful, jealous and destructive, she has no qualms about leveling anything that stands in her way. Usually, the Empress only gets out of whack when she feels like she's been taken for granted, or that her offerings aren't properly appreciated.
Like the earth itself, the Empress needs a little care, recognition and gentle tending in order to perform at her best. This boss may be particularly vulnerable to her monthly cycle or the effects of other female hormonal changes such as pregnancy and menopause, so learn how to batten down the hatches when you feel an estrogen storm coming on! Offers of comfort food and a shoulder to cry on will also go a long way in soothing the savage feminine beast that lurks in the heart of the Empress.
Don't know much more than the fact that your boss isn't an Empress? Take a look at the other 21 major arcana cards of the tarot and see if you can identify matching characteristics between your boss and one of these important cards. If yours is ambitious, structured and serious, you've likely got an Emperor boss on your hands. Immature and careless -- but fun? Your boss is probably a Fool!
Each of the major arcana cards holds within it qualities that can help you navigate your employer's moods and behavior. As you acquaint yourself with the meanings of these 22 cards, let the images speak to you and tell you more about the people you work with and for.
The tarot cards hold the keys to the mysteries of the world around you, and their uses are endless in possibility. Grab a deck and study up!

I wish they offered this design in a shorter hoodie, it's really cute.

I bought the black one! I couldn't decide between the grey and the black for a while...but I decided on black because it's a bold pattern - why not let it stand out as much as possible!
I like it longer because I like that I can wear it without any bottoms on my hot yoga gear. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
ALSO - this will be helpful to some. I live in NY, and i have been out for the last three nights in a row (very cold) and I have only worn this jacket out. It is wonderfully warm! :)

I am a volumizing/texturizing hair product hoarder. My hair is stick straight and holds a curl, and isn't exactly limp. It's just a little thinned out and tends to stick to the sides of my head weirdly. I love that beach babe vibe and use this when my hair is damp, to bring out a little texture and fluff. I also use this after curling my hair. To be honest, the fluff doesn't last that long on my hair and only looks good after my hair is wavy. However, it smells like lovely coconut...yum...
I really like it, but I don't love it. I like the spray packaging and how it can lock up for travel. It gives my hair a little more leave, if that makes sense. I use this with dry shampoo on my roots to prolong my in between shampoos time.
I've only used this a few times, and so far I really like it. It makes my hair wavy, but doesn't make it feel crusty like some other sprays I've tried. It barely feels like I have anything in my hair. So far, it hasn't dried my hair out. It comes out in a very fine mist, which makes it easy to use. It also smells like coconuts, which I like.
I use this by spraying it all over my damp hair, then dividing my hair into two sections and twisting it until its almost completely dry. When I shake my hair out, I have nice, beachy curls. My only complaint is that after about five hours or so, the curls start to fall a little. It still looks good, like loose waves, but I wish the curls it gives me would last longer. Overall, great product.

Only used this product once but so far I really like it. Definitely smells like the beach and gives me the beach waves I was looking for. Will be replacing my aussie scrunch spray which I always loved in some ways but it makes my hair super hard and smells kind of strange. Will be trying this out again soon.
More reviews by MakeupManiac5699
This was a "meh" product for me... Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. But when it did, it made my thin/dry hair even dryer.
You want effortles beachy waves? This stuff is the best! Smells so good and works great! Also it is cery cheap i think and the bottleing is so cute! It does give a lot of texture and leaves my hair feeling kind of dry during the day but thats because of the salt. Other than that Im in love with this its perfect for summer
I love this stuff. After I shower I wrap my hair in a towel and leave it for about 20 minutes while I get ready. Then I spray my hair with some conditioning spray and brush it out. I scrunch my hair and then spray with the sea salt and scrunch again and my hair looks super wavy and accentuates the natural wavyness I already have. If I feel like its not wavy enough ill wait til my hair is just about dry and give it a quick spray and gives me a little more wavy and volume.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This spray does what promised - gives you textured, beachy waves. Works on dry or damp hair, but not so much when hair is very wet. Very lights, so doesn't weigh hair down, and you can use other products along with. I use Not Your Mother's "She's A Tease" hairspray.
Also, it smells delicious, very tropical/coconutty!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this in a travel/sample size box from Influenster and fell in love with it. It smells like the beach (and tastes like it, when I've accidentally inhaled some of it - oops!). It helps separate my naturally wavy hair nicely. The reason I only gave it a 3/5 is because it isn't condition, which makes sense because of the sea salt, but I wish it conditioned it more. My hair always felt a little dry, even though it looked nice. I'm just a sticker for my hair looking AND feeling nice. I heard they've since come out with a cream one and I'll definitely have to try it out.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this spray and for the price it can't be beat! I have semi thick hair with a wave in it..so I need to put product in it after the shower so it doesn't get frizzy. I just towel dry my hair and spray this product throught my hair and crunch it a bit which helps make it a bit more wavy. I love that it doesn't make my hair scrunchy or wet looking...it just helps hold a nice wavy trexture and keeps it from being frizzy. It is a bit drying so a leave in conditioner would work well as others have mentioned. I like this spray and I guess it just depends on the type of hair you have.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm on my second bottle of this stuff, so I guess you could say I like it. I have naturally slightly wavy hair, and I like to wear it sort of carefree and looking like I didn't try too hard, like that "model off duty" hair plastered all over fashion magazines. This product is the only thing that gets me close to that. After I get out of the shower, I spritz my hair all over with leave-in conditioner, maybe spread a little Organix Penetrating Argan OIl if my hair is feeling really dry or I want it to really shine, and then comb with a wide tooth comb, part, and do my makeup while my hair air dries a little. Then, I roughly blow dry my hair, mostly focusing on the front face-framing pieces and getting any excess moisture out. I then spray the beach spray liberally and lightly scrunch. Then I scrunch in Organix Surf Paste and Tresseme Tres Two Ultra Fine Mist Hairspray and call it a day. My hair looks carefree, beachy, and gorgeous all day and even the next day (I don't like to shampoo everyday). Highly recommend!

Price . Location and free parking.
Mattress old and too soft . Shabby furnishings . Didn't feel upmarket . But not bad value for money.
staff polite and courteous. Evening meal and breakfast were good
Bathroom needs updating. Tiles were filled and did not match. Towel rail was rusty
Staff accommodated my choice of room
i loved how comfy the bed was and breaky was yum
the WiFi in our room was poor we had bought our wedding gift thinking we could set the laptop up that day due to poor internet connection we had to wait till we got home
This hotel was a great in a fab location, we went Christmas shopping in merry hill all day it was lovely to think we didn't have to drive miles home as we were staying in the quality hotel for one night, we arrived after a long day from shopping to a lovely welcome by the receptionist she was quick with getting us booked in told is everything we needed to know we got into our room which was lovely and clean lots of leaflets to read around the area I ran a bath while Hubbie order food from room service which was excellent and we didn't have to wait long the bed was very comfy great TV stations and excellent breakfast next morning and lots of choice which set is off for the jorney home. I would defenatlyuse this hotel again and recommend to frenids and family, thank you for making out stay lovely.
If I have to be really really picky I'm on crutches found it hard getting up and down the steps to and from reception and the restraunt there were no slopes or any other way of getting to these areas:(
Helpful staff. Lovely room. Bed very comfy. Breakfast was top notch. Quiet location. Very tidy.
My one and only comment is doors squeaking at night when being opened and closed. But not end of world.
the door out! Breakfast was cheap produce but ok for a fiver!
Dirty cups Dirty room Poor customer service No sound proofing of rooms - heard next door's conversation and noises! No hot water
The bed was comfortable
The shower in the bathroom was appalling at first there was no hot water coming out then when it eventually decided to work the next day it was like a tap l could barely use it . I tried to ring the reception on numerous occasions to report this but no one answered but yet they say its open 24hrs.
Staff were friendly Bed was comfortable.
Hotel is old and needs refurbishment. All tables at breakfast were not cleared and relaid after people had finished and leftI. had to to wander around looking for a clean tea cup and knife and fork. This hotel is in competition with the new premier inn practically opposite which is a similiar price and the rooms, cleanliness, and food at the premier inn are far superior.
The staff were very rude. I've never experienced such a poor standard of service - ever! The state of the bathroom was disgusting. The beds were hard. DO NOT STAY HERE.
I did not like it
uncomfi beds , poor restaurant,
The room was pleasant clean . Bed was springy but very comfy . Mugs for your drinks better than cups . Overall pleasant stay. Staff very friendly and a warm welcome.
We went to a concert at the lg arena got back 12.30ish the doors were locked had to call a night porter . Would have been better if the key let us in. It took over 20 mins to get hot water for a shower tried taps they were the same . Hairdryer cut out . No phone to contact reception. To report it and this made me late for work .
Course was great some great holes hotel was clean an rooms nice
Took 2 long to get served for a drink an st breakfast loadsfof empy tables but still made 2 stand an wait 15 mins for a table an yhen hardly sn food there
Location Good value for money Comfortable
Road noise , but appreciate you cannot do anything about this
I tend to believe you get what you pay for, and at £52.00 for a night, this was a good value for money hotel!
Bed and wifi
The receptionist and the bathroom
Room was very comfortable and clean.
Hearing people in room nxt door!
Very clean
staff were wonderful at all times: they were lovely, friendly and very helpful for £5 you can use the gym of the hotel next door which is a treat
the carpets and curtains were very dirty one of the rooms i stayed in was by the road and i could hardly sleep wifi wasn't always working
close of our interest. friendly and officient staff
room not clean, not dusted. not hooved proprely 1 staff for serving breakfast with a rush a 8am. not fair on staff need to do redocaration on room. old .

The wife is in Baltimore where there is much cooler stuff going on than we typically get in the suburbs here. Hopefully some of the coolness will rub off on her and then by extension on me.
The wife is in Baltimore where there is much cooler stuff going on than we typically get in the suburbs here. Hopefully some of the coolness will rub off on her and then by extension on me.
Looking through our referral logs last night I learned that approximately 33% of our traffic at NVTH Blog is because of people googling this photo I took of Michelle Malkin last year. (Here is a larger version for those of you with poor eyesight.) Now, is that really "googling" or should it be termed "g-ogling?"
Anyway, special thanks to Michelle for wearing that skirt and those boots at the NRI Summit. We'll take the traffic any way we can get it.
UPDATE: On second thought it looks like there's just something weird going on right now. That photo is a year and a half old and in the past 24 hours there has been a huge increase in the number of requests from images.google.com. Michelle's birthday maybe? I'm stumped.
[UPDATE: Whoops sorry for the typos, this was a LATE night post and I left off a critical piece of HTML code which negated a paragraph or two. All fixed now.]
Our government is out of control at every level, but by putting just a few competent people in office we can make a big difference.
I and some friends are waking up at an obscene hour this coming Saturday to drive down to the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV) Convention to vote for Bob Marshall as the nominee for U.S. Senate and Jeff Frederick as RPV Chairman. Here's why.
The Republican Party is seriously screwed because so many of its elected officials don't stand for much except slogans meant to keep them in power.
"Conservative Values." "Move Republicans Forward." "Ronald Reagan." Blah blah blah. Guys in suits saying the same old crap.
In 1994, Republicans swept into power because they presented policy ideas that resonated with the American people. Since then, and especially during the Fat Tuesday era which has been the Bush presidency, they tossed those policies, grabbed money and attempted to consolidate power.
Yes, that is what politicians always do. And that is why they are usually eventually swept out of power. For Republicans, the party has now become the sickness, because everyone sees that mere GOP identification means nothing more than an appeal to keep "our team" in control of the machinery of government and, by extension, the publicly funded spigot of cash.
The reason Republicans continue to go down in electoral flames is, in large part, because their marketing message is boilerplate of what brought them success in the 1990s (or maybe 1980s). Hey, it worked then, why shouldn't it work now? What many of them seem to miss is that reality – you know, that place where most people actually live – changes. So the message does not just need to change, it needs to be meaningful relative to the issues of the day.
On top of that, I would submit, the Republican "brand" has been so damaged that Republican candidates who wish to succeed should formulate their messages on the basis of policy alone without regard to the historical legacy. Maybe even poke a stick in the Party's eye. Today, the past don't sell.
Bob Marshall vs Jim Gilmore for U.S. Senate
Bob Marshall is my choice for GOP nominee for U.S. Senate because he is anything but a party line politician. He has been a longstanding proponent of enforcement of U.S. immigration laws at the state and local levels – when this has NOT been the Virginia GOP standard by any stretch of the imagination. (more here.)
He sent the Help Save Loudoun Honest Business Inititative to Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell's office for an official opinion (a story for another day). If these "Honest Business" policies, which are currently in place in various states and localities throughout the U.S., were implemented in Virginia, our illegal immigration problem here would inevitably disappear. All of you who are seeing this problem in your neighborhoods should be rising in support of Bob Marshall, because he is one of only a handful of elected officials working to solve it.
Most significantly, Tom Tancredo endorsed Bob Marshall, and reflected on what he saw of Jim Gilmore during the recent presidential primary campaign:
"Jim Gilmore says he's against amnesty, but he has a long record that suggests otherwise," Tancredo said. "Less than a year ago, while campaigning for the presidency in Iowa, I witnessed Gilmore give a speech supporting a policy that sounded like amnesty to me."
Gilmore has basically said illegals simply need to "register" and this will solve our problem. From my front porch, seeing the illegal boarding houses on my street, I don't see "registration" as anything like the solution.
On other issues, Bob Marshall is similarly impressive. He co-authored the "Marriage Amendment" which passed by a wide margin in 2006, assuring that legal marriage in Virginia would only be between one man and one woman. Following that huge ballot box success, Marshall was in the crosshairs of liberal activists – but against heavily funded opposition he won his legislative seat in 2007 by a wider margin than he had won in 2005.
Visit Bob Marshall's Web site to learn more about his positions.
I think Jim Gilmore would be toast against the Democratic nominee Mark Warner in the general election this fall. Whether justified or not, Gilmore left office with a bad public reputation and Warner left with a good reputation – despite the fact Warner lied about his pledge not to raise taxes. It's not fair, but it's Gilmore's problem. On top of that, Gilmore is the quintessential "vote for me because I am a good Republican" marketer. I think that message is death.
Bob Marshall is a quirky politician, in the sense that he actually thinks independently, who has successfully run against the popular grain, is not running on any cliche Republican mantras, and really represents what Virginians need from their public officials of any party. He is running on policies and principles, not slogans. He is a true citizen-legislator. More people like Bob Marshall in Washington, DC, could turn this country around.
I think an outsider like Bob Marshall, the regular guy with the ubiquitous camera around his neck, speaking frankly, might have a chance of winning in a "Democratic year."
Jeff Frederick vs John Hager for Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia
Let's start with the positive: Jeff Frederick is one of the best people we have in elected office in this country right now. It is tempting to make the case via what his idiot enemies are saying about him, but we won't take that route. Please just note the following from the Help Save Loudoun PAC review of Jeff Frederick:
"We are a nation of legal immigrants, and my mother is proud to be among that group. Like so many legal residents and naturalized citizens, she followed the rules, obeyed our laws, and did her best to assimilate into American culture."
The first and only Latino elected to Virginia state government, Jeff Frederick made national news in 2005 when he called on then-Governor Mark Warner to declare a state of emergency in Virginia because of illegal immigration.
In 2007, he proposed legislation to prohibit any form of state funding to Virginia "sanctuary" jurisdictions – counties, cities, or towns with policies in place that disregard a person's illegal status for the purposes of providing services or engaging in law enforcement activities.
In 2008, his sponsored bills included calling for officers of correctional facilities to inquire of the alien status of inmates, that individuals applying for vehicle registrations and certificates of title shall be required to prove legal residency, and that contractors shall not knowingly employ unauthorized aliens.
I have gotten a ton of John Hager's mail and it is all in the theme "I am a good Republican so vote for me."
One mailing, which seemed pretty expensive, had Hager in a big photo with Attorney General Bob McDonnell. I have talked with Bob McDonnell, and he seems like a nice guy, but his office has been absolutely abysmal on immigration enforcement in Virginia. McDonnell's office has said, essentially, that what Arizona, Oklahoma, Georgia, and the Town of Herndon have done is impossible for the state of Virginia to do.
I have serious reservations about Bob McDonnell's commitment to prosecuting immigration crimes in this state. Apart from Senator Ken Stolle, Bob McDonnell is probably the top Republican part-of-the-problem on the illegal alien crisis in this state. Thus I am not too impressed with Hager right off the bat.
Then, what else I have seen from John Hager has been ridiculous. The message in his direct mail has been "I took office 9 months ago and I have talked with many Virginia GOP leaders."
Hey, John, that's just peachy, but you are rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. I don't care who you have talked to, and I don't care about your goal of "moving Virginia Republicans forward." Since you took office, Virginia Republicans have gotten creamed in actual elections.
And I won't even get into John Hager's whiny complaints that Jeff Frederick has had the audacity to criticize a "fellow Republican."
"Fellow Republicans" are part of the problem, John. You guys who spout the same old bromides are killing the party.
So I want to see a guy like Jeff Frederick moved into a leadership role who is willing to oppose the tide and shake things up lead the RPV. It is the only hope. As a young, independent-minded and proven effective legislator, Jeff Frederick has made a real impact in the Virginia General Assembly. He has shown a willingness to buck the party line. We need the energy of a Jeff Frederick to remake the Virginia Republican Party.
Priceless commentary from Mark Krikorian:
When will the long national nightmare of mechanized harvesting come to an end?
From the guys over at Blogger of the Year Blog:
Creepiest blind date ever.
This Friday, candidates for Virginia's 10th District U.S. Congressional seat will debate on WAMU radio's Politics Hour.
Well, most of the candidates. GOP primary candidate Vern McKinley will be there. Democratic candidates Judy Feder and Mike Turner will be there. But Congressman Frank Wolf thus far is not planning to participate.
Here is last week's press release from the McKinley campaign:
Congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia's Tenth Congressional District has not faced a Republican primary challenge since he first won his seat as part of the "Reagan Wave" in 1980. Today, he faces strong criticism from many conservatives for turning from the "Reagan Values" that he once campaigned on. Vern McKinley, Republican challenger in the 10th district, is running a campaign on these issues. McKinley is an experienced policy expert who would bring vast federal government, international and private sector experience to Congress, along with a vision of limited government.
At least four independent efforts have been made over the past few weeks to organize a debate of the issues between Congressman Wolf and McKinley: the Politics Hour on WAMU with Kojo Nnamdi; the "Road to…" show on FCAC Channel 10; the Sterling Foundation; and the Loudoun County High School Young Republicans, all of which were turned down by the Congressman. The 10th Congressional District has a long-standing history of political debates. During Congressman Wolf's early campaigns in the 1970s then-Congressman Fisher made himself available for debates several times against then-challenger Frank Wolf. Next week McKinley will debate the two Democratic Candidates in the 10th Congressional district to get out his message. This week he also debated the Libertarian Party candidates for President, including Bob Barr and Mike Gravel.
The two Republican candidates appeared at this past weekend's 10th Congressional District Republican Convention, but were only given two minutes each to speak. "Two minutes is not enough to inform the Republican faithful on where we stand on the issues. I hereby challenge Congressman Wolf to have a debate on the direction of the Republican Party. There are stark contrasts between Congressman Wolf and the limited government base of the party, of which I am a member. Republican voters have sent Congressman Wolf back to Washington time and again over the past three decades. Yet he doesn't think they deserve to hear him explain his transformation into a big government Republican. We need to talk about his stance on spending and entitlements, on the proper role of government, the 2nd amendment, life and foreign policy matters," noted McKinley.
"The Congressman's supporters are spreading misinformation and distortions about my work in emerging market economies, such as Sudan and Libya, where I have advised on the transition to more open, free-market based, financial systems. What we need is an open debate about the issues and our years in public service. Otherwise conclusions will be based on rumor and innuendo," McKinley concluded.
To learn more about the McKinley for Congress campaign, please visit www.McKinleyforCongress.com.
I suppose Wolf feels he has nothing to gain from the debate – no reason to submit to attacks from three sides. But he has in the past articulated his positions well, so he should have no worries about being "out-debated." His refusal to participate conveys a sense of fear, as though he does not want to have to defend his record in the Congress.
UPDATE: Read the comments – some good discussion!
