Democrats, devoid of basic economic sense, continue to screw consumers with laws against business with very foreseeable consequences. Case in point: banks now are getting rid of free checking accounts. Why? Well, banks have been giving free checking accounts, but then charging irresponsible check holders overdraft fees for drawing more money out their accounts than is there. In other words, only the spendthrifts pay. But | Read More »
On Monday, much attention was paid to Rep. Janis Sontany (D-TN) and her comments regarding Republican women. To wit: At a Democratic gathering over the weekend, Sontany said of women Republican state lawmakers: “You have to lift their skirts to find out if they are women. You sure can’t find out by how they vote!” State GOP chairman Chris Devaney quickly issued a press release | Read More »
The Democrats are crying foul over a college student videotaping Congressman Etheridge’s assault. You see, it was a right-wing ambush and Bob Etheridge was justified in assaulting the college student. Caught on tape, Etheridge pulled the student’s hand toward him and the student asked to be released. Etheridge refused. This all happened after the student asked Etheridge if the Congressman supported the Obama agenda. Contrast | Read More »
So, let me set the stage: Jennifer Bendery and John McArdle write an article on Roll Call [subscription required] on the the political dynamics of President Clinton being a campaign proxy for President Obama throughout the 2010 cycle. The article does well in explaining were the public and Obama disagree on policy and how Clinton manages to somewhat close that gap. For example… Clinton is | Read More »
Tonight in Alabama the Democrats were crushed. Democrats crushed even Democrats. Popular congressman Artur Davis, running for Governor of Alabama, was crushed with an anti-Washington message. Parker Griffith, the Democrat turned Republican was likewise crushed by challenger Mo Brooks who pounded on Griffith for being a Washington opportunist. It’s easy for us to say this is a Democrat bloodbath, but the truth of the matter | Read More »
In the past week, the Obama administration and fellow Democrats have let their true feelings for America known more than ever before. Well, at least more blatantly. They aren’t even bothering to hide it now and have lost all shame. No longer content with merely worshipping at the altar of multiculturalism, they are now going out of their way to boast that they believe that | Read More »
We have returned to the days of slave trading and the Trail of Tears according to Patrick Kennedy, (D RI-1) and offspring number three of three from the late Edward M. (Teddy) Kennedy. Kennedy seems to be under the impression that America (the Arizona part of it at least) is violating the spirit of our Constitution by writing a law that enables local enforcement of | Read More »
When the FCC announced plans to declare that ISPs are no longer information services, but are instead phone companies, the FCC claimed the authority to regulate content and prices on Internet service nationwide. And no matter how many times the neo-Marxists at Free Press (and their front group Save the Internet) claim that Net Neutrality is all about “preserving an open Internet,” the FCC’s actions | Read More »
Capping off a week wherein Democrats in Congress cheered and gave standing ovations to a foreign leader denigrating our country from our own house floor and the head of ICE said he won’t do his job because Arizona is yucky, now comes denigration jewelry! From Hot Air (emphasis Allah’s): As part of his general boycott of Arizona — which includes his refusal to fly through | Read More »
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie wasted no time yesterday in vetoing two tax increases passed by the Democratic legislature. Christie signed his disapproval of the measures reinstating an expired surcharge on “millionaires” almost before the ink was even dry on their pages. Video here. State Senate President Steve Sweeney, who is also a private sector union boss, let his thuggish ways show just a bit | Read More »
Sorry for the goof up, folks. When I transferred this one into the browser I lost my links. The dangers of posting before bed. I’ve re-added them now. That’s a pretty good way to describe recent actions from George Soros-paid front groups like Free Press and their band of modern day Bolsheviks. The Obama Administration’s effort to expand federal “neutrality” regulation over the Internet really | Read More »
Steny Hoyer is causing a conversation he does not want to really have. In trying to turn up the political rhetoric on terrorism, Hoyer, the House Majority Leader, said, ““We’re tough on terrorists, that’s our policy, that’s our performance and in fact we’ve been more successful.” Really? Let’s look at the headlines.
Let’s cut right to the chase: Scott Brown’s resounding defeat of Martha Coakley demonstrates many things. Chief among these is the vulnerability of every Democrat in the current election year, the impotence of the Democrats’ current leader and sitting President to sway public opinion in any vital race (Corzine, Deeds, Coakley….), and the true unpopularity of the health care monstrosity the Democratic supermajority has been | Read More »
If Martha Coakley wins on Tuesday, it won’t matter, but should Scott Brown pull off the upset of the year, Democrats are going to have to defy long time historic precedent to keep Paul Kirk, the appointed Senator of Massachusetts, in the Senate. Fred Barnes cites Republican lawyers on this precedent, but there is actually quite a lot of substantive detail that you can read | Read More »
The Democrats have gone into ‘sheer panic’ mode over Martha Coakley‘s campaign in Massachusetts. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has purchased advertising made expenditures1 to help Martha Coakley. Read that again. NOT the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), but the campaign committee for the House of Representatives. Why would House Democrats be spending their precious resources on someone running for the United States Senate? | Read More »
