Following up on the notion of “fix it later” when it comes to the health care bill, I believe I have made a strong case for why that is less than likely too happen any time soon. So now I want to take a look at how “fix it later” will end up playing out […]
When news broke yesterday that Lieberman would back a Republican filibuster against health care my instant reaction was “so”. As I continued seeing the blogs go haywire over the news my reaction changed a bit, from “so” to “so what”. Did anyone really expect Joe Lieberman, the man who was side by side on the […]
The Democrats, who were sent to office with a clear mandate last year, seem to forget who they should be representing – the majority that voted for them. Listening to talk radio I am starting to hear a lot of disgruntled Democratic constituents call in and voice their concern over the turn the health care […]
I don’t condone the attacks on children of politicians. I really think it isn’t right, but that’s just me. I can see other people getting into it and even having some Photoshop fun. But just as attacking the children is wrong, so is using them for political cover. How often did we see the Obama […]
Ignore the stimulus for a minute, and look at some other legislation that took place this week. Nate Silver has highlighted it and shown how there is a major divide between Senate Republicans and House Republicans: It’s not just the goose egg that the House Republicans laid on the Democratic stimulus package yesterday: Boehner’s Boys […]

Now that Sarah Palin is done playing celebrity (hopefully), she gets to go back to work in Alaska and face some big problems: Palin’s state budget proposal is due in a month, with plummeting oil prices slashing Alaska’s revenues by billions of dollars. The 1,700-mile natural gas pipeline she bragged about on the campaign trail […]
And we missed him so. Zell Miller is hitting the campaign trail hard for Saxby Chambliss, and going on his old attacks of the “far liberal agenda”.
Treason comes with a price: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will likely meet later this week with Joe Lieberman to discuss whether the Democrat-turned-Independent will be stripped of his Senate committee chairmanship, a senior Democratic leadership aide tells CNN. Lieberman currently chairs the Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. This aide says that Reid, […]
Palin has now admitted she is looking for a run in 2012. This is suicide in the political world – talking about the next race when the current one is still going on: ELIZABETH VARGAS: If it doesn’t go your way on Tuesday … 2012? GOV SARAH PALIN: I’m just … thinkin’ that it’s gonna […]
