The Difference between Iraq and the Democrat Congress?

July 11th, 2007 | 4 Comments

Mark Levin over at The Corner on NRO had this comment: So, the Iraqi government reportedly hasn’t met any of its targets . Has the Democrat Congress met any of its targets? Now, being as this is the first time I’ve ever seen a need to actually quote National Review here, I thought it must [...]

Nancy Pelosi and the Black Caucus

June 5th, 2007 | 1 Comment

Here’s the scuttle making the rounds right now: Democratic leaders fear that Rep. William J. Jefferson’s indictment yesterday on racketeering and bribery charges, coming exactly one year after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi engineered his ouster from the powerful Ways and Means Committee, could rekindle a smoldering dispute between the speaker and black lawmakers who were [...]

The only thing less popular than the President is…….

May 16th, 2007 | 2 Comments

The new, kinder, gentler, Nancy Pelosi led Congress. When the new Democrat controlled Congress took over in January, they got a reprieve, with about a 15% jump in approval ratings just for being there. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid of the Senate came in with guns firing. They passed all kinds of major legislation including [...]

Here’s their message: Letter to House Committee on Agriculture Subcommittee on Specialty Crops, Rural Development, and Foreign Agriculture Dear Member, Tomorrow you will have a hearing on the nation€™s current rural broadband programs.

Bush vetoes the Iraqi pullout bill ( and restores the Constitution )

May 2nd, 2007 | 4 Comments

Yesterday Bush vetoed the Iraqi pullout bill. In that bill, it had emergency spending for the military as well. That was both expected politically, and I expected it for bigger reasons. Spending will be done one way or another until a proper funding bill is presented. The war won’t stop just because a few loonies [...]

Americans siding with Dems against Bush

April 26th, 2007 | No Comments

Apparently “the Dems” picked up the endorsement of MSNBC, who claims unequivocally that Americans are siding with Dems. The headline leaves no room for error. It’s not “most”, “a majority”, or “some”. It’s all. Every single American. Mexican, Canadien, Brazillian, it’s all of them. That’s a pretty powerful block of people to be supporting “Dem”. [...]

Out of Iraq Caucus isn’t Democrat?

February 15th, 2007 | 2 Comments

Sometimes something is so overt it just strikes me as being surreal how some people can claim it’s not what it seems.  Former Representative Tom Andrews had this to say regarding the Out of Iraq Caucus ( and others ): Andrews, who met with Murtha on Tuesday to discuss legislative strategy, acknowledged  "there is a [...]

A Real Election Fraud Situation

November 27th, 2006 | No Comments

Every single election, people all over the country whine that the election was fixed, rigged, or outright stolen.  Pretty much every time, it leads nowhere.  However, I have stumbled across a fairly local race that does show that sometimes mistakes ( or worse ) happens and the election is definitely in doubt.  Here’s a good [...]

Immediate expectations from the 2006 elections

November 9th, 2006 | No Comments

A lot of people are reading things into this week’s elections. Some people claimed these elections are nothing but a national referendum on Bush and/or the Republicans. As such, I posted my “anticipated results” from the elections a few days ago. I’m still sticking with those “predictions” post-election. Now, here’s what happens when “national” expectations [...]

Google officially gets political

October 25th, 2006 | No Comments

People have accused Google of allowing their political leanings to affect some of their content searches.  Google of course denied the allegations.  But, it was kind of obvious something was amiss.  The reason I yanked Googe AdSense was because no matter what I wrote about Bush, their "unbiased" searches would ALWAYS come up with something [...]
