Where public policy meets common sense
Posted in Election 2010, National Dems on Sep 3rd, 2010
Is the House gone? That is what Democrat strategists are privately conceding. The candidates don’t believe it, but the staffers are looking for work just in case. More than an 100 seats are in play and the DCCC just bought ads in 54 districts. There is a saying in battle that if your men think [...]

Radical Democrat Congressman Peter Stark-CA was asked a simple question by one of his constituents. What limits would remain on the federal government if Congress could get away with passing a bill as destructive of individual rights as Obamacare? Congressman Stark gave an answer which even shocked his constituency. “I think that there are very [...]

Read about it here. I am so glad that we got rid of the culture of corruption. I hasten to add that a man is innocent until proven guilty.

Democrats pushed through the latest gambit to extend unemployment benefits. I have no objections to the extension, but I do object to a 34 billion dollar bill costing around 83.4 billion and 50 billion in new taxes. Democrats use the unemployed like a human shield to push through spending and pork that would not make it [...]

Nothing is quite as funny as the way Democrats react when their apple cart gets upset. Such is the case of the winner of the South Carolina Democrat Primary for the U.S. Senate Seat, former Army and Air Force Veteran Alvin Greene. Mr. Greene has been vilified by Democrats throughout the nation. It seems no one [...]

Supreme Court nominee Kagan opposed a ban on partial birth abortion. She however signed on to a compromise which allowed a physical health exception after viability and urged President Clinton to sign on to it. It is considered worrisome by the abortion caucus of Democrat party. The fact the woman is not insanely for abortion [...]

I guess Hawaii costs less than D. C. and had better weather. The DNC spent 176K for their D. C. extravaganza. Both parties spent over an 100k for their retreats and strategy sessions. The Democrats in the very expensive city of Washington D. C. (so the President wouldn’t have to travel), and the Republicans at [...]
Posted in Christine O'Donnell, National Dems on Mar 24th, 2010
Pelosi’s husband received 100K from his wife’s PAC. His take increased 4 fold when he became treasurer. Ironically, Pelosi said she favored banning spouses from receiving money from candidate organizations, maybe she was trying to save herself money. Will Democrats criticize O’Donnell with a straight face for legal reimbursements? Yes, but the rest of us [...]

What type of ruling regime would call the police on people for trying to leave a message for their elected leaders? Rep. John Garamendi’s (CA-10) staff did just that rather than let someone finish a point. Read the account.

Nancy Pelosi and company are leading the lambs to the slaughter. They are defying the will of the people. They are in a dream world in which they think that people just misunderstand health care reform. They claim that people are for the bill when it is broken down into some parts and polled. That [...]

Republicans propose limiting the size of government to balance the budget. The difference between the party of government and the party of the people couldn’t be clearer.

Governor Markell and the Democrat Governors were pushing the bipartisan jobs bill and decrying the partisanship in Washington. Markell said to Foxnews, Republican lawmakers have effectively put Obama on his heels by blocking Democratic initiatives. “The challenge has been to get through the clutter of ‘No,”‘ he said. Interestingly, he ignored that Republicans did not block [...]

The best measure of a leading politician’s electoral strength is whether those in a weaken position attempt to attach themselves or distance themselves from the leader. If that is the case, Senate Democrats are showing signs of fleeing from their leader.

If one needed any further evidence that the luster is off the ruling regime, this CNN Poll settles the issue. 7 of 10 Americans are glad that the Democrats lost their supermajority and most would like to see them lose control of Congress. No wonder AG Biden didn’t run. Beau knows politics.

The Democrats are divided, whether their house will stand is not just based upon unity, but whether or not they unify based upon freedom or government power. The American people want their nation back. Washington is struggling against the grain. The blustery admonition from Rep. Anthony Weiner, one of the House’s leading liberal voices, underscores [...]

“It is a challenging time,” said Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association. “When you’ve got as many people unemployed in the country as you do, it’s understandable that folks will be looking to their leaders to do everything possible to create jobs. As Democrats, there’s a burden of proof here.” I [...]

I know that sex scandals are interesting, but does the Tiger Woods story affect your life? Here is a more intriguing one which may affect two cities and have led to a cover up which implicates the first lady and other members of the ruling regime. It involves the firing of the Americorp Inspector General. Follow [...]

The Democrat Party seems almost lockstep in socializing America at the national level. What may trip them up is an implosion over a radical cultural agenda. The reason I brought up cultural issues today is that they are what is being voted upon this week. Conservatives are not the ones trying to change the successful [...]
Posted in National Dems, National GOP, Polls, Tea Parties on Dec 7th, 2009
The tea party movement is more popular than the GOP. Tim, Frank, and I have been making a point for months that the GOP needs to get back to Constitutional, common sense conservatism or it may be in jeopardy. This poll proves the point. It should also be a warning to third party movement that [...]

“Hillary is a Rock Star”, this and other assessments graced Vogue. As the administration becomes less popular, Secretary of State Clinton carefully protects her own image with the help of friends in the media. What I would love to know is the reason for this push. Is it that she wants to insure that a [...]

UPDATE: Landrieu outraged at $100 million figure. She says it was $300 million and she is proud of it. The Lapdog Democrats have caved yet again. All 58 Democrats and 2 independents formed the bare 60 vote super majority need to bring Reid Health Deform to the floor. Senator Mary Landrieu accepted a 100 million dollar [...]

I am not saying anything except ….change-Ha.You suckers. Don’t make the same mistake twice. Want to dine with five U.S. senators? Then just drop by Wednesday night and, oh, by the way, bring $30,400. That’s what it costs to be a “co-chair” of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s Women’s Senate Network party, thrown by power [...]

Finish this sentence by Rep. Barney Frank. We are trying on every front to….increase the role of government in regulation. He and his cohorts are not trying to maximize freedom, prosperity, or individualism. He is trying to increase the role of government regulators on every front. You moderates were suckered when you voted Democrat. You [...]

Republicans side with terrorists. No wonder National Democrats are losing credibility and poll way behind the gracious President Obama. The DNC lost it. The DNC forgot people like Lech Walesa and many others. The President can’t even bring the new civility and peace to his own party. I hope he is more successful with rouge [...]

I am a strong supporter of FISA and the recent arrest in NY illustrates why we need it. This nation is at war by the choice of others, but it will only win it by our choice. There is a warped mentality in a segment of the Democrat Party which believes that liberty can only [...]

“Moderate” Democrat, Senator Bob Casey Jr, stood with ACORN as one of only 7 Senators voting to maintain funding. They were Illinois Sen. Roland Burris-D, Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey-D, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin-D, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand-D, Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy-D, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders-I, and Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse -D. Casey is [...]

Yeah, you heard me, the year was 1991: Rep. William Ford, then chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, ordered the General Accounting Office to investigate the cost and legality of Bush’s appearance. On October 17, 1991, Ford summoned then-Education Secretary Lamar Alexander and other top Bush administration officials to testify at a hearing [...]

There are dark clouds on the horizon if you are concerned about freedom of expression. We all know about the now defunct flag.whitehouse.gov. We have also heard about desires by some to reinstate the so called fairness doctrine in order to force out some of the loyal opposition and put them in limited air times. [...]

Blue Dog Democrats are brain dead according to California Firebrand and House Ways and Means subcommittee chair man Pete Stark (D) CA. This is the latest salvo against moderate Democrats who are on the receiving end of the President’s allies attacking them in ads. The Democratic Party seems to be coming apart at the seams. [...]

Senator Ted Kennedy represented a lot of bad ideas during his life, we don’t need to suffer because of his death. If Democrats want to honor a legend in American politics, build the man a museum, but don’t ruin our health care system. I sympathize with the supporters and family of Senator Kennedy. They have [...]
