Change you can believe in?

Posted by Moonage on 20 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics, Fed Policy

Well, after demanding change for two solid years, and getting a LOT of people to buy into his change, Obama’s “change” is starting to take shape.  This is what it is possibly looking like now that Obama’s had a couple of weeks to vet the changelings he wants spearheading his change.
 
Janet Napolitano.  You remember her [...]

Nancy Pelosi’s derivatives lie

Posted by Moonage on 29 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics

Nancy Pelosi famously denied Democrats had any responsibility for the financial crisis that we are dealing with right now.  She stills sticks with that fantasy.  However, I don’t think too many people believe her.  Today the Washingtonwatch blog listed the members of Congress who voted for the 2000 Consolidated Appropriations Act which allowed trading credit [...]

Nancy Pelosi’s Culture of Corruption - Dianne Wilkerson

Posted by Moonage on 29 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics

This one is precious.  First, we start with the evidence:
When it gets real fun is when you read her rap sheet.  She’s already in trouble for lying under oath to protect her nephew on manslaughter charges, tax evasion in the 90’s, and not reporting donations.  Apparently the people of her district tired of her shenanigans [...]

When Republicans go bad

Posted by Moonage on 21 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: 2006 US Senate Races, 2008 Congressional Races, 2008 Presidential Race, Ethics

Everyone remembers Mark Foley.  Mass media went nuts over his “issues” in 2006.  Some even say Foley single handedly cost Republicans the House.  So, what does the 21st century’s most “disgraced” Congressman do?  He endorses Obama.  Most political pundits are completely ignoring this endorsement.  The Obama campaign hasn’t released any statements on Foley either that [...]

Pelosi’s Culture of Corruption - Tim Mahoney

Posted by Moonage on 14 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Congressional Races, Ethics

Several years ago, Mark Foley was pretty well busted doing things that just weren’t terribly ethical.  Nancy Pelosi and a lot of Democrat bloggers went flying off the deep end.  Pelosi went so far as to demand an inquiry into how many Republicans new about Foley’s activities and did nothing about it.  Of course, no [...]

Defining Bipartisanship

Posted by Moonage on 01 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Ethics

In her speech to rally the troops to vote for the Rescue package, Nancy Pelosi accepted no responsibility for past actions by either herself or any member of her party.  She put the entire blame on a situation that has festered for thirty years solely on Republicans.  And, then, to top it off, gave a [...]

Words of wisdom from Mike Shelton

Posted by Moonage on 01 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Ethics

I rarely read something I just love any more.  It seems to me most media, and I’m not talking main stream media, I’m talking the whole enchilada, are hell bent on dumbing down their content for entertainment value.  There are a lot I’m sure that just can’t help it.  I mean does anyone really expect [...]

Nancy Pelosi delivers the worst, speech, ever

Posted by Moonage on 29 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Ethics, Fed Policy, Government, Idiot of the day, Legislative Process, National Debt, Politics

The gall and stupidity of Nancy Pelosi never ceases to amaze me.  Today, with arguably the economic welfare of the United States on the line, and for that matter, several other countries of the world, Nancy Pelosi assured the world an agreement to bail out the struggling spec market was at hand.  She’d have it [...]

Bailout bill stalls in Congress

Posted by Moonage on 29 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics

In a move that surprised me, the bailout bill was voted down in Congress.  It was fairly close, 228-205 I think it was.  In order to get it back on track, some media are saying Pelosi expects nine Republicans to change their votes for a re-consideration.  This is how she’s motivating the Republicans:

Now, slap me [...]

Connecticut Democrats attempt to censure and independent?

Posted by Moonage on 25 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Ethics

This is kinda nutty if you ask me:
Connecticut Dems Circulate Censure Resolution on Lieberman
Blondin said Lieberman’s speech at the Republican National Convention, in which he praised McCain and criticized Democrat Barack Obama, convinced her that state Democrats needed to take a stand.
“Our point is not that Joe should in some way be prohibited from supporting [...]
