Senator Schiff?

From LewRockwell.com:

Peter Schiff has set up an exploratory committee for a run against Sen. Chris “the Crook” Dodd. Writes Peter:

As you know, I have been seriously considering running for U.S. Senate against Chris Dodd.

Everywhere you turn there is evidence of just how bad our economy is getting. Growing unemployment, families that are struggling to put food on the table, and retirees that are having to make the choice between doing without or joining the millions of others that are looking for a job. Unfortunately, many of our economic woes have been created by government intervention and politicians who believe themselves to be economic “experts.”

I believe that my experience and qualifications would make me well-suited to serve Connecticut, especially during a time when Washington needs fewer career politicians and more people with real-world financial experience that can be a voice of reason and help prevent the continued intrusion of government into our lives, jobs, and pocketbooks.

See the handsome Schiff site here, and thanks to Michael Woods.

I’m a big fan of Peter Schiff.

Obama’s signing statement hypocrisy

“President Obama signed the $106 billion war-spending bill into law Friday, but not without taking a page from his predecessor and ignoring a few elements in the legislation.

Obama included a five-paragraph signing statement with the bill, including a final paragraph that outlined his objections to at least four areas of the bill.

President George W. Bush was heavily criticized for his use of signing statements, declaring he’d ignore some elements of legislation by invoking presidential prerogative.

The Obama administration announced in the statement it would disregard provisions of the legislation.” (Read more from the hill.com)

More change we can believe in?

We are no longer a republic. We are an elected dictatorship.
