Being Pro-Business

May 1, 2011

When it comes to economic issues, Republicans and Democrats see things very differently. Liberal Democrats bill themselves are being pro-little guy.

Looking For A Leader

April 26, 2011

Even though I write about politics, I hate politics. More precisely, I hate most politicians. I have never seen a bigger bunch of lying thieves in my life than the people we elect to run our country. It would take a hearty dose of sodium pentathol to get most of them to tell the truth. [...]

The new Republican-led House voted to repeal ObamaCare yesterday by a vote of 236-181. It was a bipartisan effort, with four Democrats joining Republicans in the repeal effort….oh alright, it wasn't very bipartisan at all.
