Last week I posted about how minority leader John Boehner wasn’t holding any town halls. Well it appears he has now decided to change course. And just check out where: House Minority Leader John Boehner has agreed to answer questions in a town hall setting at the Voice of America Freedom Rally on Sept. 5 […]
So the Republicans want to “protect” Medicare now? I wonder if anyone will ask them about the debacle the Republicans caused with Medicare in 2006 with the new Medicare drug program. Remember that? The news was covered with stories of seniors not being able to receive their life supporting medications because of the mess created […]
The news of Eric Holder’s mandate on the special prosecutor to go after just those that actually engaged in the torture is being met with some strong criticism from the dems. Basically they are saying that it isn’t enough. I agree, but I am also going to be optimistic. A lot of these investigations start […]

Palin herself starts arguing for tort reform. I guess only pit bulls should be allowed to air their fights in our courts. What a hypocrite.
Mark Sanford was supposed to have a book come out next year – a typical move by anyone planning to run for President. Well we know what happened with old Marky boy, but there’s a problem. Viking, the would be publisher of Sanford’s book, already had their new catalog go to the printing press and […]
President Obama is getting more forceful in his fight for real health care reform, which is a much welcomed site. Yesterday he started invoking FDR and reminding people how the Republicans opposed social security. Then during the Johnson years they opposed Medicare. In both fights the GOP labeled the people pushing for change as “socialists”. […]
This is really a country of dumb asses.
