Barack Obama and John Cornyn call for an investigation into the VA using our veterans as guinea pigs with respect to new drugs. Interesting enough, one of the drugs the VA has been testing on our veterans is Chantix, which is supposed to help you quit smoking. I tried Chantix last year, and it didn’t […]
In all honesty he would be more at home there then at the Democratic convention. None the less it would be nice to have a solid enough majority in the Senate next year to tell Lieberman to shove off to the other side of the aisle.
Funny how they were so against ethics reform a few months ago, but now they want earmark reform. Yes we do need it, but I can’t help think that this is an election year ploy, especially when they are issuing this statement from a lobbyist funded retreat. They also had no problems with earmarks a […]
Chris Dodd is standing up for the rule of law today and is going to filibuster the bill giving telecom companies immunity in illegal wiretapping. He is looking for questions to address during his time on the floor, and you can help by going here and submitting some. It’s pretty sad that the Republicans don’t […]

Since this whole Foley thing opened up, I have realized that the Republicans are right. They are right when they say the problem with Foley is his being gay. Of course the reason for me agreeing with the Republicans is probably not what they would expect. For years it has been “rumored” that Foley was […]
Remember how the right got all up in arms when Harry Reid proclaimed “we killed the Patriot Act” a couple months back? Well the L.A.
