It finally looks like the White House is going to get out front and show America who the party of no really is: The White House is preparing late this week to aggressively go after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his GOP colleagues on financial reform. A Democratic party source said Thursday evening […]
Take a look at this story on CNN: Barely a month in office, Sen. Scott Brown, R-Massachusetts, is putting some muscle behind his independent image by twice voting against his own party and questioning the use of the filibuster. Brown took to the Senate floor Tuesday to announce he would vote for cloture, or to […]
This man shouldn’t be allowed to call himself American let alone Senator: Speaking Friday on the Senate floor about a procedural hold that is blocking passage of S. 1963, the Veterans’ Caregiver and Omnibus Health Benefits Act, Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, said “it would be truly disgraceful” if the bill didn’t clear the Senate by […]
John McCain is acting like he won the election. Check out the video of Mr. “The Fundamentals of our Economy are Strong” defining stimulus and bi-partisanship on the Senate floor yesterday, then ask yourself who America chose to lead us in a new future.

While I been busy reconfiguring all kinds of business stuff today, I have had MSNBC on. They have been running John McCain doing his cheerleading speech for the Iraq War, on the Senate Floor today. Why doesn’t anyone in the “mainstream media” ask the simple question – Why is McCain worried about big speeches when […]
Biden gave one hell of a speech on the Senate floor today: AMEN! Bob Geiger has the run down on this fantastic speech.
Yesterday I posted a video clip of Steny Hoyer on the House Floor. The clip was from C-Span. I posted it to YouTube, where it still remains. Luckily it looks like I might be ok in spite of the recent rash of YouTube bannings for copyright violations. This came to light by another apparent fight […]
They don’t even think our troops deserve a couple hours of their time on the Senate floor. Why? To protect the most hated President in the history of the United States.
