It is just about time to reset The Real Sporer Presidential preference poll (at right). I’m told the blog is going to get some TV time in the near future. We will probably reset right after talk about the results on the broadcast. That will give everyone a fresh start before the next public discussion of the results..
My problem is what to do about Chuck Hagel (we are publishing in Cornhusker Red). Chuck is certainly talking about a run. After 3 resets and over 1000 total votes cast our sunset neighbor has failed to generate a single vote. Has the readership spoken? Should he stay or should he go?
On a related thought, should we include potential candidates like America’s D.A. Fred Thompson or the True Architect (of 94) Newt Gingrich?
Let me know your thoughts. After all, The Real Sporer is a populist at heart.

Two thumbs down on Chuck.
Two thumbs up on Fred.
One thumbs up on Newt.
I've been tempted to vote for Hagel every time I come to visit. But I figured I shouldn't be messing with you R poll.
Chuch is not a girlieman. It takes real balls to stand up against official party line and call things like you see them. We could use more people like him on both sides.
what you call balls, we call cowardice. Hagel is a coward and wants to run and hide. That's why he's more at home with the emocrats. They tend to be cowards. most of their public policy involves having the govt solve their problems because they are too weak to solve them on their own. They need big brother to wipe their butts. They need a govt program in their daily lives to even exist.
No, hagel is the ultimate definition of a girlie man. He's afraid. Thus, he's not a republican.
You are more than welcome to invite him with open arms into your party.
At least we can agree that we have different definitions for cowardice, balls, and girliemen. No wonder it’s difficult find common ground when our starting points are so different.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Employers ramped up hiring in March, driving the unemployment rate down to 4.4 percent, matching a five-year low.
The new snapshot, released by the Labor Department on Friday, also showed that employers boosted their payrolls by a strong 180,000 in March, the most since December.
Workers' also saw their paychecks get bigger. The fresh figures suggested that companies are not feeling a need to dramatically clamp down on hiring in the face of the slower overall economic activity and the deep housing slump.
"There's been worry that housing troubles would seep into the rest of the economy and hurt jobs but that is not happening now," said Bill Cheney, chief economist at John Hancock Financial Services.
"This says employers are finding that they need people and when they need people they hire them. These are good, healthy numbers," he said.
The report was stronger than economists were expecting. They were calling for the economy to add around 135,000 new jobs in March, and for the unemployment rate to actually edge up to 4.6 percent.
I guess we know the size of the "OTHER AMERICA" where Edwards doesn't live. The size is 4.4%.
So, the Unions are losing jobs, but everyone else is booming. Hmmm, maybe there's something very unnappealing to americans about working for thugs. they'd rather be FREE FREE from forced mafia style protection tactics.
and in Iowa, 96.7% if Iowans are working. Why is there all this sky is falling coming from the d's who feel the need to tax us to death to bring in employers? We are as fully employed as can reasonably be expected.
Maybe this book by Valerie Symes can tell us what is wrong with Europe.
Unemployment in Europe: Problems and Policies by Valerie Symes asks why European unemployment is so high and looks at the policies designed to curb it. The volume examines:
* Why European unemployment is so high in relation to the past and to other developed economies;
* the special factors at a local level that can affect the level of urban unemployment;
*European Union policy on unemployment and the allocation of funds;
* Case studies of five major European cities currently experiencing high levels of unemployment;
* an analysis of proposals for the future.
This work will be a valuable guide for all those interested in the wider aspects of urban unemployment in Europe.
Seems like the unemployment problem in Europe coincides with increased collective bargaining arrangments that began in the 1990's. Prior to this time, the unemployment rate in Europe was comparable or even better in Europe than the US.
Interestingly, the uemployment rate in the US was highest during the Union heydays of the 60's and 70's.

At the beginning of the 1990s, most countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) introduced new labour laws, which included the legal foundations for the creation of a new collective bargaining system.
After more than a decade of experience, many CEE countries have adjusted and expanded their legal framework for collective agreements in recent years.

Republicans don't behave this way. Just democrats do. This is how they behave towards super liberal "progressive" democrats. Only free speech, anti hate crime, anti bullying democrats behave this way.

A forum at the University of Iowa with Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, to discuss federal support of student financial aid was met with anti-war protesters saying Iraq war funding is hurting the education budget.
Members of the UI Anti-War Committee, criticized Loebsack's vote for supplemental funding for the war in Iraq.
Assuming that you are right about all anti-war protesters being liberals and D’s, one must give them credit for being principled and consistent with their stands. When they don’t agree with R’s, they protest. When they don’t agree with D’s, they protest.
I would say this is in stark contrast to many supposed conservatives. Clearly, they toss all of their principles aside to support this administration and all its actions. That’s partisan whoring. Nothing principled, conservative or patriotic about it.
Of course, on the R side, much of the bullying and intolerance is coming from W, Cheney & co. The grassroots won’t have to do much of it. See Dick’s dick-like comments in today’s news.
wow - the entire democrat party except for the black caucus is afraid of fox. They LOVE CBS though because it's an apparatus of the Democrat Party.
How weak and limp wristed, not to mention the heighth of hypocrisy coming from the free speech party.

DNC Shuts Out Fox
Fox News may have landed a Democratic debate, but the Democratic Party is refusing to give its formal stamp of approval to the September event, which will be co-sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Institute.
“The DNC sanctioned debates will not include Fox," says DNC Communications Director Karen Finney in an e-mail.
The Democratic National Committee announced today that it would sanction six debates, starting in July.
DNC Chairman Howard Dean called Fox "a propaganda outlet of the Republican Party
