Newt's Proposal To Help The Haves

December 14, 2011

Heading into the final stretch, it looks like conservative primary voters are settling on Newton Gingrich as their GOP presidential candidate. Currently, even 47% of the TEAs are supportive of a Gingrich run for president. This is interesting to me because the TEA Party has always claimed that the deficit and the national debt are [...]

Obama's Pre-emptive Caving Problem

June 30, 2011

A good negotiator does not start negotiation talks by bending over backwards to please his opponents. That's called capitulation, not negotiation. In his press briefing yesterday, President Obama laid out his deficit reduction position, and it is a pre-emptive cave-in to the desires of his GOP opponents. A capitulation. Many highly paid celebrity pundits gave [...]

The Great Hoax Of 2011

June 25, 2011

For the last year or so Republicans and their stenographers in the media have been carrying out a hoax on the American people. In a time of perilously low employment when government spending is needed more than ever to fill the hole in demand, the Hoax crowd has successfully focused the American peoples' attention on [...]

Facts Stubbornly Maintain Liberal Bent

May 27, 2011

Washington D.C.'s "Beltway Media" has been obsessed with national deficits and debt ever since the black Democratic President Obama took office. Before Obama took office, while the previous administration was doubling the national debt and exploding the deficit, very little was said about debt and deficits. No one noticed, I guess. The moment the new [...]

Wasted Words of Wisdom

April 14, 2011

My liberal comrades will not like what I have to say today. Hell, I don't like it either…..but I must tell the truth as I see it…so here goes. President Obama gave his deficit speech (transcript) in the middle of the afternoon yesterday so that people like you and I, who are politically engaged, could [...]

Kyl's Gaffe

July 13, 2010

If a political gaffe today is when a politician accidentally speaks the truth…then this qualifies. Senator John Kyl (R-AZ) on Sunday… "You do need to offset the cost of increased spending, and that's what Republicans object to. But you should never have to offset cost of a deliberate decision to reduce tax rates on Americans." [...]

Obama & Imposter-News Reporters

November 19, 2009

Obama, while visiting China, talks to imposter-news "reporter" Major Garrett of FOX…. Obama warned the United States' climbing national debt could drag the country into a "double-dip recession," though he said he's still considering additional tax incentives for businesses to reverse the rising unemployment rate. "There may be some tax provisions that can encourage businesses [...]

Tea Party Babylon

April 15, 2009

When the Biblical Tower of Babel was under construction, as the legendary myth goes, God intervened, (still not sure why), by confusing the languages of the workers so they couldn't continue building. Hard to construct something if the construction workers can't communicate with one another. Out of that mythical story we learn the original meaning [...]

12 American Solutions For Jobs & Prosperity

March 2, 2009

I have always thought that Newt Gingrich was a bit odd. I thought his Contract With America plan in the 90's was pure corporate-friendly puffball showboating. The Gingrich-led 1994 takeover of Congress quickly went to Newt's head like a good bong hit….leading his self-pumped ego to threaten Bill Clinton, a popular president, with a shutdown [...]

Government Choices On The Economy

January 24, 2009

I see all the usual suspects, Republicans named Boehner and Cantor, Blue Dog Democrats who are actually Republicans in drag, and my favorite Knee Pad Media Pod People, are all clutching pearls and wringing hands over President Obama's plan to prop up the American economy with over $800 billion in spending. As I see the [...]
