Burning Fiscal Issue: "he's trying to pawn himself off as a fiscal conservative. And yet just in recent weeks, two weeks ago it has come out in news [...]

The Friday Political Circus

March 5, 2010

Welcome To The Machine – On the same day President Obama invited Rep. Jim Matheson (D-UT) to the White House to pressure him to switch his vote on health care reform, Obama appointed Matheson's brother, Scott Matheson, to a judgeship on the 10th Circuit Court Of Appeals. I'm sure that was an entirely random, coincidental [...]

Returning Your Health Care To You

March 3, 2010

"The status quo is not acceptable….What is really scary, what is really risky, is to do nothing." – President Obama, talking about health care reform.
President Obama and the Democrats are pretending America's choices on health care reform are either – A) Pass ObamaCare, or B) Stick With The Status Quo.
To us another [...]

The Arrogance Of Power

February 27, 2010

The following video is from 2005, when the Senate majority Republicans were contemplating the use of the "nuclear option" to stop the minority Democrats from blocking Bush's judicial nominees. The Republicans wanted the judicial nominees to be allowed an up or down vote. Adoption of the nuclear option would have changed longstanding Senate rules requiring [...]

The Historic Health Care Summit

February 26, 2010

I suppose I should write about yesterday's bipartisan health care summit, although I'm not sure exactly why. Nothing was accomplished. Nothing changed. Republicans believe the existing comprehensive health care reform bills should be scrapped and a more incremental approach should be taken. Democrats believe the whole health care shebang should be changed with one 2,400-2.700 [...]

Pay-Go, We Hardly Knew Ye

February 18, 2010

Six days ago, President Obama signed Pay-Go legislation into law. Pay-Go required that federal spending be paid for, in order to stop the spiraling federal budget deficits and debt. A worthy notion, but we should have suspected something was amiss when the Pay-Go legislation also included a provision to raise the debt ceiling to $14.2 [...]

Democrats Say The Darndest Things

February 13, 2010

I keep thinking I should write a post about my differences with the Republican party, but Democrats keep talking, thereby constantly reminding me why I detest Democrats, so I never quite get around to the Republicans. Here are a few of the latest examples of Demo-speak.
"I am very optimistic about, about Iraq. I mean, this [...]

Obamanations Of The Week

February 10, 2010

"We've got to be non-ideological about our approach to [economic policy]. We've gotta make sure that our party understands that, like it or not, we have to have a financial system that is healthy and functioning. So we can't be demonizing, uh, every bank out there. We've got to be the party of business, small [...]

The Politicization Of Jobs

February 6, 2010

Here's Speaker Of The House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), talking about job losses:
“…misguided economic policies have failed to create jobs. Since [the President] took office, the country has lost 3.2 million jobs, the worst record since President Hoover…Job losses are taking a real toll on the financial security of American families…According to today’s survey, while the [...]

It's All Bush's Fault ???

January 25, 2010

Every time I hear President Obama or any other Democrat blame George W. Bush for the recession, it makes my head want to explode. It is so dishonest that words can barely describe it. Yes, Bush was the President when it happened, but Bush didn't put the policies in place that made it happen. For [...]

The Massachusetts Message

January 20, 2010

Republican Scott Brown's improbable Senate victory in the bluest of all blue states, Massachusetts, has sent the Democrats reeling. Their reflective navel-gazing has begun. I look at this as a wakeup call for the Democratic party. Will they now "get" it, or will they remain in denial ? Will they continue pushing policies the American [...]

Hate-Filled Lying Morons

January 19, 2010

Here's the world-class left-wing dunderhead Hugo Chavez, the socialist President of Venezuela, describing America's relief efforts in earthquake-ravaged Haiti :
"I read that 3,000 soldiers are arriving, Marines armed as if they were going to war. There is not a shortage of guns there, my God. Doctors, medicine, fuel, field hospitals, that's what the United States [...]
