		<description>The Bin Cardin staffer story has been a major topic of discussion on Baltimore talk radio. Bin Cardin was a guest on the Chip Franklin show this afternoon. He was asked about the staff/blogger. He said &quot;She was only a JUNIOR staffer. In her blog however, she said she was a &quot;SENIOR&quot; staffer. Before her comments were removed from her blog, she talked about are power as a &quot;SENIOR&quot; staffer. Read the news story on Wizbang, then go to www.wbal.com and read Bin Cardin&#039;s comments. Something is very fishy in this situation. Did Bin Cardin know about her blog before others broke the story about what it contained?</description>

		<description>RedBeard #28:  I agree.  However, &quot;cure for cancer&quot; is a good prediction.  Psychics use that one all the time.  They prove that their prediction came true when they point out that this or that cancer was, indeed, cured. ;) 

&quot;Cancer&quot; is a generic term for numerous tumor-causing diseases, and cures are being found for this one and that one all the time.  I was cured of a cancer myself :).  

Because the various cancers are different diseases, each requiring a cure of its own and then broken down into cures that individuals can tolerate (would the &quot;cure&quot; kill this particular patient?) however, having &quot;&lt;i&gt;the&lt;/i&gt; cure for cancer&quot; is a statement of gross incompetence in the area.  It&#039;s completely bogus.  There can be no single cure for cancer.  

Steele&#039;s opponent should be slammed royally for spreading this kind of false hope.</description>

		<description>Steele should win simply because his opponent is shamelessly hinting that his election would result in a cure for cancer by 2015.  Please.  That falls into the &quot;give me a stinking break&quot; category.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been watching the Maryland race and all I can say is that I wish Steele was running for the Senate here in Ohio.  Guess we&#039;re stuck with DeWine because his opponent is a total dud and then some.  On the positive side, we have an extraordinary candidate in Ken Blackwell.  I have issues with him BUT he has spine and guts and that puts him light years ahead of his opponent who strikes me as a singularly unpleasant alternative for governor.</description>

		<description>DarkStar &quot;Since when has being Catholic worked against someone in the Black community?&quot;

My sincere apologies I was in a rush, let me expand with a re-type.  I really do hope that going to the black churches will help Steele get his message across.  His message should resonate very well in predominantly black churches when give the oppurtunity.  However, democratic leadership and some so called &quot;black&#039; leadership will rail against him in greater ways than the way some have against Rich Santorum for how his religion affects his  thinking on morality.  If he was a Mikulski &quot;Catholic&quot;, he would be praised for not letting his church infect his thought and would be praised again for upholding the sanctity of abortion on demand. 
I was referring to how a John Kerry gets a pass that a Michael Steele will not.  Hope that clarifies it.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;As far as Steele going to the â€œblackâ€ churches. I would hope that it would help, but I am afraid his being Catholic will count against him.&lt;/em&gt;

A Bin Cardin staffer was fired by Cardin for &quot;oreo&quot; hinged comments she made on her blog about Steele. She also made comments about a black Cardin staffer. Wizbang broke the story.

		<description>Steele appears to be Pro-life from what I have seen.    Even if a Democrat was Pro-life, their Party&#039;s culture of death would put a ton of pressure on them to vote for the &quot;choice&quot; position. That should always push a pro-life to any one that does not have a (D)eath in front of it.  I do not think we have to worry about that with Cardin since he has a 100% rating with NARAL.

I hope that I am surprised here in MD and that Steele does get the black vote.

		<description>Darkstar, ie: your list in post #14, I don&#039;t see much there that a Republican should object to... not enough to avoid voting for him.  A lot of Republican candidates lean liberal, but they&#039;re a long shot better than electing a Democrat.</description>

You would skip the race?</description>

		<description>NASA and other funding of private enterprise is not a function of the federal government.

The federal government should not help nor hinder business, internally. Tariffs are the exception because that&#039;s at a country level. 

Federal backed student loans and things like the FHA have put the government in competition with private business. Government should never be in competition with private businesses and by government I mean the national, state, and local level. 

It is not a function of government to empower individuals. It is up to individuals and private groups to empower themselves and others if they so desire.

&quot;Empowering people&quot; is why we have the welfare system.

Given your response, you just want welfare programs that you deem &quot;good&quot;. 

So, have you read The Federalist Papers?</description>

		<description>Trust me La Shawn, you got out of Maryland just in time. When I have enough money saved up, I&#039;m moving south. Steele does have a chance, if he sticks to the issues. The Baltimore Sun isn&#039;t a fan of Steele, thats for sure. It&#039;s not going to be easy.

Sorry Darkstar, I believe in cutting waste. To me all the things that I mentioned are WASTE. I have no problem at all defunding NASA, getting rid of HUD, defunding medical research paid with tax payer money. I would keep the SBA, at least they help individuals to start businesses. That&#039;s an empowerment program in my book Darkstar. Also, I have no problem with the government having a student loan program. As long as that student pays back the money borrowed, it really doesn&#039;t cost anything. Students benefit from being able to borrow money to pay for school, an educated person thus becomes a productive member of society. In other words, this is also another empowerment program worth keeping. I will give you an E for effort Darkstar as usual lol.</description>
