Actually all Democrats running for Congress received an endorsement from John McCain today, as well as all Democrats running for Governor. Why? It’s simple if you think about it. He has chosen a person with less than 2 years experience in anything that counts to be the number two of this country. Now I know […]
Part of the McCain statement on Palin had me scratching my head: In Alaska, Governor Palin challenged a corrupt system and passed a landmark ethics reform bill. She has actually used her veto and cut budgetary spending. She put a stop to the “bridge to nowhere” that would have cost taxpayers $400 million dollars. (emphasis […]
That’s not what I am saying, but rather what Putin is saying: Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of orchestrating the conflict in Georgia to benefit one of its presidential election candidates. In an exclusive interview with CNN’s Matthew Chance in the Black Sea city of Sochi Thursday, Putin said the […]
The FTC has finally done something I can really appreciate: Specifically, the FTC changed its venerable Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) to prohibit, as of Sept. 2009, telemarketing calls that deliver prerecorded messages, unless a consumer has agreed to accept such calls from a given caller/seller.

The study by the Government Accountability Office, expected to be released Tuesday, said about 68 […]
It’s being reported that Lieberman is on the short list for McCain’s VP pick. If this is the case then Democrats need not wait until the next session of Congress to remove him from committee seats, do it now. It also isn’t shocking to hear this, considering Lieberman has all but admitted he will be […]
When I heard that Bush wasn’t backing the House GOP’s latest stunt to try to get Congress back in session, something didn’t seem right. Now it makes sense. House leaders are pissed at Bush, or so they want us to think. This provides a nice way for the GOP to distance itself from Bush just […]
John McCain is the most absent Senator, so does he have the right to tell Congress to get back to work?
What if Congress went ahead and allowed offshore drilling, but with some provisions. For example, the government now dictates where the oil goes that we drill up. Also the price on that oil is set by the government. In other words, we tell the oil companies they can drill in this land, but there are […]
Bush’s veto of the Medicare bill early has been overridden by Congress. Here are the numbers: House: 383-41 Senate:70-26 Not sure if McCain showed up for the vote, but I highly doubt it.
