So we are the extreme left wing of this country and out of touch with the “pulse of Americans”. We dislike George Bush and his debacle of a war in Iraq. We dare to question the leadership in our country and make our opposition heard. Are we truly the minority? Republicans determined to win in […]
Remember the Medicare debacle that plagued seniors the first of the year? Well Bush is still wanting to mess with Medicare, and this time his target is the actual doctors and hospitals: The Bush administration says it plans sweeping changes in Medicare payments to hospitals that could cut payments by 20 percent to 30 percent […]
This really seems like the Bush/Gore debacle all over again: Mexico’s conservative presidential candidate Felipe Calderon declared victory on Monday in a bitterly contested election result as official returns showed him ahead of his left-wing rival. Calderon said his lead was now “irreversible” because he had an advantage of more than 400,000 votes over Andres […]
While Bush is out to try and control the damage he has done lately, he is still making mistakes. One that really has gotten to me (and something I have followed very closely) is the debacle called Medicare. His defense has me really ticked off: “Any time Washington passes a new law, sometimes the transition […]
This entire debacle that has started by a very legitimate resolution offered by Russ Feingold has just got me fuming. His motion to censure Bush is by far one of the most reasonable requests that have been made in the 109th Congress. Rather you are for or against the wiretapping program, one thing remains – […]
The Washington Post now has the story up regarding Dubai’s pull out: The United Arab Emirates company that was attempting to take over management operations at six U.S. ports announced today that it will divest itself of all American interests. The announcement appears to head off a major confrontation that was brewing between Congress and […]
Following the Medicare/Medicaid debacle that happened first of this year it seems like Republicans are scrambling to once again distance themselves from Bush and also try and save that some of the vital senior votes this fall. This from Reuters: President George W. Bush’s plan to cut $36 billion from Medicare ran into stiff opposition […]
Well I have been wondering where China would fit into the entire Iran debacle and now we might know: China is hastening to complete a deal worth as much as $100 billion that would allow a Chinese state-owned energy firm to take a leading role in developing a vast oil field in Iran, complicating the […]
Boehner beat out blunt for the job. It is kind of an interesting shake up to the Republican leadership in Congress but I don’t trust Boehner nor like him. This guy’s office very nastily refused to send someone to a meeting last week of seniors with questions regarding the new Medicare-D debacle. Shows how much […]
