That Hopey Changey thing: Eliminating filibusters

January 24th, 2013 | No Comments

Within one day after President Obama was sworn in for his second term, Harry Reid was putting in motion the vote to eliminate most filibusters. Here is the list of the Senators that think this is such a good idea they chose to co-sponsor it: Sen Baldwin, Tammy [WI] – 1/22/2013 Sen Begich, Mark [AK] [...]

The price of gas when Obama took office

February 24th, 2012 | No Comments

Liberals are rather aghast that some people assert Obama’s policies have driven the price of gas in this country through the roof.  Now that gas is nearing $4.00 a gallon, it’s become an issue to be debated seriously.  And, it is: who is at fault for these gas prices?

(Name removed) blames President Obama for high gas prices, do you?

March 18th, 2011 | No Comments

Good question! QuestionsView Results What’s that you say? I left something out? Oh yeah. How many people would have answered differently if they had known it was Sarah Palin? Be honest. So many people are so hung up on the “Sarah Palin is stupid” liberal talking point that they more often than not will react [...]

That underwhelming sense of bipartisanship

July 8th, 2009 | 1 Comment

Barack Obama made a huge deal out of ending partisanship in DC. He then pretty much slammed the door shut once he was elected. Democrats got all the positions of power. When Nancy Pelosi moved to squelch any chance of open, public debate on any issue, Obama was dutifully silent. Yesterday we got a perfect [...]

Bipartisanship and Medicaid

February 23rd, 2009 | 1 Comment

Just got the numbers for the Medicaid add-on from the stimulus package.  I don’t deal with Medicaid directly, but it indirectly affects what I do in a large way.  As such, I was interested in the numbers.  However, the bigger picture bugged me more than the dollars I was assigned to look at.  In essence, [...]

Matt Damon endorses Sarah Palin

September 11th, 2008 | 3 Comments

Matt Damon had this to say about this year’s election: “It’s like a really bad Disney movie, “The Hockey Mom.’ Oh, I’m just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she’s president,” said Damon. “She’s facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It’s absurd.” Of course, Damon’s referring [...]

Obama Bushism of the day: Governor of a town?

September 2nd, 2008 | No Comments

“Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large [...]

Sarah Palin to be McCain’s VP?

August 29th, 2008 | 2 Comments

Due to not really being terribly glued to the tv over this election, I gotta admit I have been fairly clueless to guessing VP picks.  The media throws so many names out so fast, then criticizes the names they threw out themselves, and then writes off the names they threw out themselves.  So, the whole [...]

At what price is drilling in ANWR economically feasible

November 19th, 2007 | 1 Comment

My buds at Independent Sources so nailed this issue I just suggest going there and reading it.  A synopsis: …….but reading this story about Brazil’s recent discovery of a deep water oil field of 5,000,000,000 to 8,000,000,000 barrels of oil made me think of it……. ……but when the US has a known field of 25 [...]
