This is what it’s like to work with statist politicians like Barack Obama and Harry Reid, those who adhere to the Darth Vader approach to deal making. Did Republicans learn anything? I know Democrats didn’t, but they don’t care. So first we get this really bad tax deal (which will probably pass the House; even Paul Ryan says we have to “suck it up”), now | Read More »
…moron. Or, more accurately, morons. Cassy Fiano makes this very pertinent point: Let’s recap the current economic state of our country. Our deficit has been quadrupled in one year. The unemployment rate is in double digit territory, the highest its been since 1982. We’ve lost 16,000 jobs a day since the stimulus package was passed. The public debt is around $11 trillion. Teh Won has | Read More »
Attorney General Eric Holder testified before Congress yesterday regarding this whole trying Al Qaeda war criminals in a civilian court. There are plenty of posts blogging Holder’s tussle with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), so go to the link if you want to view them (or view them again if you’ve already seen them). Also go see Scott Johnson’s and Andy McCarthy’s smackdown of a document | Read More »
President Obama is scheduled to sign (or already has signed) Porkulus. Three Senate liberal Republicans, Collins, Snowe, and Specter, let it happen. But so did another key vote, Democrat Roland Burris, Obama’s tainted replacement to be the U.S. Senator from Illinois. As I had mentioned here, Burris voted for both versions that passed the Senate last week. You may ask, so what? A new twist | Read More »
A new twist has been added to the Roland Burris saga as our “illustrious” junior Illinois U.S. Senator conveeeeniently forgot to mention that he was hit up by Blago’s brother for a $10,000 campaign donation. Of course, Burris wouldn’t be a U.S. Senator if Democrats in Illinois, the U.S. Senate, and the White House hadn’t of caved on getting Burris installed by the corrupt and | Read More »
Not long after 9/11, President George W. Bush made famous his phrase “You’re either with us or against us in the fight against terror.” He was making those remarks towards foreign governments who were known to have had assisted Islamist terrorists, most notably Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Libya. Bush was helping to rally the country for the long fight ahead, trying to ratchet up the | Read More »
BOHICA – Bend over, here it comes again. As everyone knows, the Senate worked late last night to line up a "deal" on the Porkulus bill between three Republicans (Collins and Snowe of Maine, and Specter of Pennsylvania) and representatives of the remaining 56 Democrats and 2 Independents (Lieberman of Connecticut and Sanders of Vermont). Based on what I saw, the other 38 Republicans don’t | Read More »
Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN) is one of the 11 Democrats in the House to vote with every Republican against H.R. 1, the Multi-Generational Theft “Stimulus” American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Cooper and about 50+ other Blue Dog Democrats signed a letter critical of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) methods of ramming this bill through. He went so far as to admit on the radio Sunday: …the | Read More »
