The very savvy Lyn Nofziger (1924-2006), former Ronald Reagan aide, showed his political acumen by supporting Steve Forbes over George W. Bush in 2000. Good for Lyn. I also supported Forbes over Dole in 1996 and again over GWB in 2000.

California’s Proposition 187, which generally denies most government services to illegal aliens, passed by a 59 to 41 percent vote in November 1994. Despite the overwhelming support, wimpy Republican politicians in California are still scared to support it.

Bumper sticker of the day: Vote Yes On Preparation H.
