I was just doing my nightly dose of eye bleeding browsing of the right wing dribble out there (hey everyone likes a good nightmare), when I noticed this at Red state: Update: For another entrant into the below-mentioned department of legislation, check out this oldie but goodie from 2006: a Democrat State Senator from Ohio […]
Just wait and see what happens if we have a President McCain. Right now a lot of the stonewalling comes from Republicans blocking Democratic legislation. That part may continue, but if John McCain becomes President then you will likely see a lot of legislation get blocked because the Republicans don’t want to give it to […]
Here is the big story of the day, a heated exchange between Romney and a reporter about lobbyists being on Mitt’s campaign. Mitt’s entire argument is that these people are not paid and are just “advisers”. Now let’s look at the definition of a lobbyist: A member of the lobby; a person who solicits members […]
It looks like Kristol was wrong on his second New York Times piece: Kristol in his column, which hailed the success of the “surge” in Iraq, concluded with this trump card: Now the Iraqi government has agreed on de-Baathification, a key gain that proves his point and pretty much destroys the Democrats’ stand.

That’s exactly what this is: A small group of Republicans facing election fights next year have rallied around war legislation they think could unite the GOP: call for an end to U.S. combat in Iraq, but wait until President Bush is out of office.

The citizens […]
No matter how much Tony Snow and the rest of the White House try to spin it, the fact remains – the news coming out of Iraq is not good. GOP Senators are also seeing this and not buying the typical spin: Sen. George Voinovich said Tuesday the U.S. should begin pulling troops out of […]
September is getting closer and closer, while our goal of “success” in Iraq is getting further and further: Sen. Richard Lugar, a senior Republican and a reliable vote for President Bush on the war, said Monday that Bush’s Iraq strategy was not working and that the U.S. should downsize the military’s role. The unusually blunt […]
Reuters is reporting: President George W., Bush plans on Tuesday to veto a war spending bill that imposes timelines for a U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq, and will then explain his action in a statement at the White House, an administration official said. Bush will carry out his long-standing threat to veto the legislation after […]
