I don't know if that is the case in this situation, but what I can tell you is, George Allen is passionate about this foundation. I joined it myself and urge anyone that cares about the future of our country to consider doing the same. If you believe George strayed from his conservative roots during the Bush years, and I don't totally disagree, he was in a very large group, I would say after talking to him, welcome back.

And remember, he said "perhaps". Not yes, but not a no, either.

And Susan Allen is right in this with her husband, and she is going to email me some additional information.

Tyler, you are a highly intelligent man with a good memory and very deep knowledge of Virginia politics. Take a look around the American Energy Freedom Center website with an eye towards the information presented there. I would love your opinion on the ideas and thoughts there. And if you could look at it without a past political eye, and as a going forward policy think tank, I believe you will be impressed. I am.

George Allen is doing the right things here.

Does he mean like the years he supported "W" Bush while "W" trashed our Constitution and pissed away a trillion dollars on undeclared wars?

I will never forget that when he was asked about the Bush domestic spying programs, George Allen responded with, "…well, its for our own good…" He was roundly booed at a town hall in Midlothian for that comment and for his support of Bush's warrant-less domestic spying program.

During his early political years, Mr. Allen won our hearts with strong libertarian rhetoric. When he became a Bush lap-dog and supported Bush's trashing of the Constitution, he lost our hearts and, consequently, he lost the election to Jim Webb.

Even though Americans have very short memories for politics, the Press will beat Mr. Allen to a pulp with Macaque stories, should he have the chutzpah to run for anything again.

By the way, few ever learned that Macaque (often spelled Macaca by the Press) is actually a term of endearment used in some Asian countries. Just as a grandmother here, will sometimes say, "…come along, munchkins" in some countries they say, "…come along my little macaques…" The term is not commonly used as a slur, but is most often used in the context we would use to address children in an affectionate way.
