Honoring Ronald Reagan

February 6th, 2013 | No Comments

Source: rightwingthinking.info via Robert on Pinterest   On Ronald Reagan’s birthday, let it be known 40 states choose to recognize his birthday.  It’s not a holiday or anything.  It’s just a note that someone very important to this country was born on this date.  Eight states choose to intentionally ignore his birthday.  It’s kind of [...]

Stomping on moveon.org

October 27th, 2010 | 1 Comment

A lot has been made of the video where a woman gets her head stomped on at a Rand Paul/Jack Conway debate. A lot.  Before rushing to judgment, and before making incendiary comments in my presence, take into consideration some facts first. Her original story was she was simply handing Rand Paul an employee of [...]

Tossing the Defense of Marriage Act

July 9th, 2010 | 2 Comments

A federal judge in Massachusetts tossed out the federal Defense of Marriage Act. His logic, get this, is it encroaches on states. Here’s Federal Judge Joseph Tauro’s Ruling On DOMA: Federal Judge Joseph Tauro’s Ruling On DOMA Now, this is where being conservative gets fun for me. I’m with Judge Tauro 100%. First, let’s clear [...]

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 [...]

Last thoughts on Massachusetts special election

January 17th, 2010 | No Comments

A lot of people are speculating why Martha Coakley is having so much trouble winning in Massachusetts.  A Democrat, woman, and running against a Kennedy.  Doesn’t get any easier than that huh?  Well, maybe it’s an image problem.  This is Martha Coakley: And this is the Republican: Remember, we ARE talking about Massachusetts.

Republicans aren’t quite dead yet.

January 14th, 2010 | No Comments

When Obama won in 2008, he brought a lot of Democrats in with him.  That was just the icing for what had been a slow erosion of the Republican pinnacle of the early 21st century.  Republicans have rarely wielded a whole lot of power in the Senate and Congress, so being outnumbered probably meant a [...]

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, [...]
