David Cuddy For Senate in Alaska

Honestly, I don't know much about Mr. Cuddy, but I do know he is running against Ted "Bridge to Nowhere" Stevens in the GOP primary in Alaska. Stevens should have been out of the Senate a long time ago. Fiscally, the guy is a mess, and he is an earmarking and pork loving official who, in those regards, stands for everything I stand against. I know I make many mentions of this, but it was our favorite Senator here at To the Right of Wrong, Tom Coburn, who made Stevens throw a hissy fit on the Senate floor after calling out Stevens for earmarking money for his Bridge to Nowhere. Stevens is also being investigated for ethics and corruptions charges, and the time for change in Washington is more dire than ever, lest we be subject to the Liberal agenda of imposing Socialism on us. Mr. Cuddy has said some thing I think that bear repeating, and I hope that by encouraging people to talk more about him, we can get the word and help the people of Alaska get another politician as great as their Governor, Sarah Palin, elected to office. Here's some quotes form Mr. Cuddy:

Cuddy told CQ Politics that his drive to restore fiscal conservatism as well as combat widespread federal corruption prompted him to enter the race.

"There's a growing awareness that we can't keep spending ourselves to the extent we are," Cuddy said Wednesday, speaking by phone from Anchorage. "We can't continue doing business the way we've been doing business."

The two issues he mentions are the two driving forces behind the charge to get Stevens out of the Senate. We absolutely need to cut spending and corruption in Washington, and Stevens isn't part of the solution. It sounds cliche but he's part of the problem if you examine his record. Here's hoping Mr. Cuddy pulls off the upset.

Oh How the Left Loves Them Some Pork

Not that it's shocking, of course. However, you really owe it to yourself to go check out the Leftist Congress's achievements in the peddling of pork products and inflated, egregious government spending and kickbacks to their buddies. Note too, that the "Republicans" doing this, are RINOs at best, after all, Ted Stevens is a pork lover, and he too needs to go. Hell, Sen. Tom Coburn almost got him to go after Sen. Coburn attacked him over the outlandish Bridge to Nowhere before the public had even heard of the shameful project. However, after pledging to stop the earmarks, the left made them more secret, and increased them dramatically. Here's a sampling:

The pork vacation tour stops include the following:

• Fish for the catfish genome at Auburn (Ala.) University (cost of project: $878,000)
  
• Envy the 'Green' Natural History Museum in Minneapolis ($800,000)
  
• Walk across the Heart of America bridge in Kansas City ($750,000)
  
• Cheer on the human robot teams at Texas A&M ($750,000)
  
• Explore grape genetics in Geneva, N.Y. ($628,000)
  
• Lift weights at the YMCA in Stark County, Ohio ($500,000)
  
• Cruise on longer streets in Champaign, Ill. ($500,000)
  
• Shoot hoops with the locals in Richmond, Calif. ($450,000)
  
• Pedal on bike trails in Highland, Ind. ($400,000)
  
• Play golf at Buhl Farm in Sharon, Pa. ($300,000)
  
• Take the pulse of renovations at Transylvania Hospital, Brevard, N.C. ($275,000)
  
• Dine at a wine and culinary center in Prosser, Wash. ($250,000)
  
• Lob tennis balls at the Andre Agassi prep school in Las Vegas ($200,000)

That's not all folks. There's much, much more. In fact, my favorite Senator, Tom Coburn, helped get this website up and running:

USA Spending

Where you can research and view all earmarks and who has assigned them. It's great stuff, and something to utilize during the upcoming election season. I have added a direct link on the right hand site permanently. Have fun.
