Again – anyone that voted for these people under the assumption that they would “cut government waste” was suckered in big time: Members of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus may tout their commitment to cutting government spending now, but they used the 111th Congress to request hundreds of earmarks that, taken cumulatively, added more than […]
This one from Reuters really got my blood pressure boiling: US will “push” out BP if spill response falls short The U.S. government will move aside BP (BP.L) from the operation to try to halt the Gulf of Mexico oil spill if it decides the company is not performing as required in its response to […]
Al Franken has shown the most balls we have seen from Democrats in a long time, and today was no exception. Here is Al shutting up Joe Lieberman, which then enraged McCain:
