Ben Chandler hammers Andy Barr’s criminal record

October 18th, 2010 | 1 Comment

The Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee is hammering Andy Barr in Kentucky about as hard as you can: You can’t trust Andy Barr for anything because he’s a criminal.  Simple message.  According to Bluegrass Politics it’s true too: The ruling: True. The facts: In 1993, as a 19-year-old college student vacationing in Key West, Fla., Barr [...]

Passing on the most basic responsibility of governing

June 22nd, 2010 | No Comments

Steny Hoyer has decided Congress doesn’t need to pass a budget this year.  It’s just too darned complicated to pass a budget when there’s all that darned debt.  Rather than being faced with the possibility of increasing the debt even more, or making painful budget cuts during an election year, Hoyer is punting until later [...]

Take Clyburn to the river, drop him in the water

June 11th, 2010 | No Comments

First of all, start this video and turn the volume up kinda loud.  James Brown loud. Now start reading this out loud: “There were some real shenanigans going on in the South Carolina primary,” “I don’t know if he was a Republican plant. He was someone’s plant.” “I’ve been trying to figure out how somebody [...]

South Carolina is exactly what The Founding Fathers had in mind

June 10th, 2010 | No Comments

Remember Al Green? Man, I sure do: Right after Barry White and George Clinton, the dude could sing.  When he set the mood, the clothes fell off.  Didn’t even need a whole lot of tequila.  I’m sure every 40 to 50 something has a good memory or two of Al Green.  So, given the chance [...]

The Constitution, the Civil Rights Act, Obama, and Rand Paul

June 2nd, 2010 | 2 Comments

Immediately after the Kentucky US Senate primary, Rand Paul made what a lot of people consider a gaffe that got all kinds of media exposure: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy The entire country went bonkers over the fact that Rand Paul would dare do the unthinkable and dick [...]

Dick Blumenthal served courageously in South Carolina?

May 18th, 2010 | 1 Comment

Connecticut Attorney General Richard “Dick” Blumenthal has been in office since 1991.  He’s done a lot of things as attorney general.  He jumped on the first great American corporate lynching of the tobacco industry well after Hillary Clinton declared war.  Ignoring the issues with global warming, he’s trying to declare carbon dioxide a dangerous substance: [...]

The economy Obama inherited

January 26th, 2010 | 2 Comments

A full year into Obama‘s four year term, he’s still passing the buck: “Today’s report from C.B.O. confirms that the recession inherited from the Bush Administration continues to erode the budget’s bottom line,” said Representative John M. Spratt Jr., the Democrat of South Carolina who is chairman of the House Budget Committee. From the start [...]

Obama digging deeper

January 22nd, 2010 | No Comments

Fresh on the surprise pounding Obama’s candidate took in Massachusetts, Obama unleashed his fury on banks, again.  Apparently the message wasn’t received.  I thought it was funny when Robert Gibbs blamed Coakley’s loss on George W. Bush.  Now it just seems pathetic.  Here’s a clue, it’s a simple one, but apparently not one Obama and [...]

The Brown formula for success

January 22nd, 2010 | No Comments

I’m seeing a lot of stuff about how people are now expecting a lot of Republicans to follow in the footsteps of Scott Brown.  Seems like a rather simple plan to me: Pose naked for Cosmo. Smile a lot, sincerely. Crank out a couple of smoking hot daughters. Smile a lot, sincerely. Have at least [...]

Boston Tea Party

January 19th, 2010 | No Comments

Am thinking it’s kinda odd that the recent Tea Party movement became real in Boston tonight. Am also thinking Robert Gibbs sums up exactly why Coakley lost, and why more Dems will lose if something doesn’t change quick: That upset and anger, quite frankly, dates much farther back than simply the 2008 election.  That’s not [...]
