There is no doubt that the Tea Party has become hell bent on destroying America. Proof of that can be seen in this video from Wisconsin, where members of the Tea Party Express cheered the downgrade of the United States credit rating: Yes, let’s cheer on something that can cost our nation an additional $100 […]
One of the long known goals of Osama bin Laden was to financially break the United States: A key facet of bin Laden’s anti-American warfare has always been economic. It’s a lesson he drew from the Afghan-Soviet war, in which he first served as a financier of mujahidin efforts and then as a fighter. He […]
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 […]

The bailout bill that passed the Senate last night included a bunch of pork and earmarks in it. McCain has said repeatedly that he would veto any such bill. So if he were President now, would the bailout receive the stroke of his veto pen?
Everyone got their drinks ready for the night? Wonkette has the rules up for tonight’s drinking game, so let’s get ready to debate! 9:03 Where do you stand on the financial recovery plan Obama: This is the final verdict on 8 years of Bush and McCain’s economic plan. Fundamentals of economy must be measured by […]
That would be the meth capital of Alaska. I guess she was too busy getting those earmarks to worry about things like that though. Oh and let’s not forget that meth labs are very much on the minds of Middle America. You hear about them being shut down daily in your local neighborhoods. This could […]
