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 [...]

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 [...]

Now, according to what I’m reading, Nancy Pelosi has agreed to consider an off-shore drilling proposal presented by Democrats. I’m sure she’ll tout this as a major new idea and an example of the failed economic policies of Bush.
However, it’s got thorns attached. From what I’m reading, and I’ve not read the actual proposals:
No Gulf [...]

Apparently smarting from polls that put his Senate leadership in the single digits, Harry Reid decided to fight back starting with this letter to The Hill Blog:
When our country is in crisis, Congress must be ready to take immediate action. Democrats in Congress have tried to take action again and again. We have proposed both [...]

Barack Obama’s having a rough week.
First, he did the very odd thing of stating very publicly he liked President Bush’s Faith Based Initiative so much he wanted to expand it. That drew the ire of the Reverend Jesse Jackson:
“See, Barack’s been talking down to black people on this faith-based—,” Jackson says during a break in [...]

The jam we’re in right now was put in place thirty years ago. In that time, we’ve gone from being an energy exporter to an energy junkie. It really doesn’t matter where we get our hit, so long as we don’t have to accept any responsibility for it. For instance:
Oil - The Democrats absolutely refuse [...]

A lot is being made of the momentum the Democrats are on. They’ve picked up quite a few seats in Congress over the last couple of years. They are starting to get their agenda, to some degree, passed. And, Nancy Pelosi has pretty much taken over as the queen of all things Congress. However, this [...]

I read this first thing this morning:
Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, asks in an upcoming article, “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?”
I have real issues with this for several reasons.
First of all, what does this have to do with being President of the United States of [...]

For the past few months, we’ve heard over and over how Republicans are not satisfied with their slate of candidates. That supposedly was the basis of the Fred Thompson push. Even today CBS is running such a story that predicts a Democrat win in nineteen months because Democrats like their candidates and Republicans don’t. So, [...]

The Democrats haven’t even officially taken over the government yet, but they are already tossing out anything Republican as fast as they can. Along with that, I guess we can totally dismiss Bush’s "conservative compassionism":
Its not just committees our influence within the House Democratic caucus will grow enormously, Mr. Rangel said in an interview.
