		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The solution to this one is loser pays. Therefore you have the right, but if you abuse it you pay for the other guys defense. I’d say the lawyer must post a bond to play to cover the expenses of litigation for the loser.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Excellent idea Steve -- hope you've submitted it to your Congressional Representatives too :) .

Not trying to toot my own kid's horn -- but I agree, she did do an excellent job and worked really hard to publish this information. Guess, what? She's on her way to Casper as we speak for the Central Committee meeting. I had to stay behind to work, but she hitched a ride with our state committeewoman (a hearty thank you to her, as this was really last minute). Tieki was hoping to leave in the morning, but anyone she could think of to ask a ride from was leaving this afternoon. Therefore, we made last minute arrangements with friends for her to stay with, and she will get to see the Central Committee in action throughout the day tomorrow. She's armed with a laptop, so, let's hope for updates throughout the day tomorrow ;) .</description>

		<description>tieki rae:

“Sansonetti - Received a lame free trade question (what Republican doesn’t like free trade?); then discussed tort reform and had what seemed like a pretty decent plan to make more use of the federal courts and their methodology to prevent frivolous cases”

I am beginning to wonder in view of what Paul commenter’s have to say and those Buchananites.

“Simpson - Everybody’s favorite defense lawyer (not) got a question about tort reform. “Well it depends on whether you believe the Bill of Rights or the Declaration of Independence mean anything when they declare the right to a fair trial.” Oh give me a freaking break. My bad, I didn’t realize that the right to bring unlimited frivolous lawsuits to flood the courts was a constitutional right. Oh wait, it’s not really, is it?”

The solution to this one is loser pays.  Therefore you have the right, but if you abuse it you pay for the other guys defense.  I’d say the lawyer must post a bond to play to cover the expenses of litigation for the loser.

“Moore - Received the official dumbest question of the night about reinstating the draft. “No I’m not interested in reinstating the draft. I think we have an outstanding military force… and not just Congress but the whole country needs to support the troops and support what they’re doing. We’ve got men and women that are signed up, an all volunteer army and it’s the best in the world.”

The draft is about quantity not quality.


tieki rae:  Maybe you should submit this evaluation to your local newspaper.  Great Job, thanks.  Hope you can sort out my comments from quotes from the article   ………. steve</description>

		<description>[...] Tieki Rae did a much better job than the Casper Star Tribune. I think it was a mistake for the WY GOP to allow the press such access to the process. Of course, if they don&#8217;t, then the press refers to them as secretive. CASPER, Wyo. - More than two dozen aspirants to Wyoming&#8217;s vacant U.S. Senate seat staked their ground as fiscal and social conservatives during a public debate Sunday, saying they would rein in federal spending, reform the Endangered Species Act and defend conservative values if chosen to succeed the late Sen. Craig Thomas. [...]</description>

		<description>Another thought, Re: Rep. Simpson:

He is quite smooth. At the Park County Forum in Cody when the abortion issue came up the first time he straight up said Pro life with the exception of rape, incest of life of the mother. I can go with the life of the mother exception if her life is truly the only life that can be saved. As Randy Alcorn puts it, "Save the life that can be saved." At any rate, I was stunned that he gave that answer, knowing he had really high scores from the WY NARAL. He was called out on it by one of the other attenders (by the way, she had talked to him about it before the forum) and he only made the attempt at justifying abortion's existence.</description>

		<description>I just read the CST article. Wow! That was almost as much of a jumbled mess as the forum! The Billings Gazette (owned by the same company that owns CST) ran an &lt;a href="http://billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/06/18/news/wyoming/25-hopefuls.txt" rel="nofollow"&gt;AP article on the forum&lt;/a&gt;. Not that the AP did a great article, but CST might have helped themselves out if they would have ran the AP article.</description>

		<description>Wow, mom, just starting that Trib article annoyed me.  What a lame, unprofessional way to write!  It's one think if that was on a blog or a column, but that's supposed to be an actual news article?  Incredible.

Scott - I thought Simpson's opening statement was also odd.  I had never seen / heard him before, and I definitely left with the impression that he's way too smooth to be honest.  I also wasn't impressed with his defense atty answer to tort reform.  Hopefully the central committee wasn't either.

Kevin - I wouldn't lie about something ridiculously long. ;) Micheli's first name is Ron.  All of the candidates (and their applications) are listed at the WYGOP website (http://www.wygop.org/FlexPage.aspx?area=SpecialElectionCandidates).

MZ - Thanks :) And I'm really glad too!  Now we just have to get through tomorrow and see if my hopes are fulfilled!</description>
