From The Edge Of Sequestration…We’re Walking, And We’re Walking, And We’re Stopping. [Updated]

March 6, 2013

In an effort to make sequestaria appear like a real crisis neither the White House nor the Vice Presidents residence will be conducting tours in the foreseeable future… because the evil Republicans voted for Obama’s bill and wouldn’t cave like the Democrats had planned. In response to this  Rep Louie Ghomert, Texas, has proposed an amendment to HR 933 that would force [ Read more ]

November 15, 2012

Barack Obama, Ben Ghazi, And Warren Women Walk Into a Bar….2.0

November 7, 2012

It occurs to me that the Obama Administration has a huge problem ahead of it. With Republicans retaining the US House, the various investigations will proceed unhindered.  New ones will begin.  And the idea of asking uncomfortable questions about the scope of Executive power should be brought to the fore. The US House has significant [ Read more ]

So WHY is our Second District Congressman, Charlie Bass, not signed up to defund Obamacare?

July 19, 2012

Charlie Bass promised to vote against Obamacare – did.  That should have signaled the intention to kill it anyway possible or needed – so why didn’t he sign the Letter?  Would he actually vote to defund Obamacare? 241 US Congressmen are Republicans.  127 of them have signed a Letter saying it was time to use [ Read more ]

Turner & Amodei Win – Referendum?

September 14, 2011

You know as well as I that it is only a referendum when a Democrat wins, so the special elections to fill two US House seats, the ones that resulted in two Republican Wins, not a referendum.

January 20, 2011

Democrats are up in arms about the US House vote to repeal Obamacare.

Reading The Constitution…

January 6, 2011

Reading the Constitution to progressives on the floor of the US House is like a priest reading from the bible at an exorcism. They scream out and writhe, swear, insult, spew hatred, and do everything in their power to intimidate you before you can get to the end. They started screaming days ago, actually.

Just Throwing This Out There…

December 10, 2010
