More House Republican Shame As They Again Refuse A Vote On Payroll Tax Cut

Politics

A little bit ago Steny Hoyer tried to get the House to vote for the payroll tax cut. In doing so he showed how the House Republicans are truly cowards on this issue. Here’s what Hoyer said: “Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask for unanimous consent that we bring up the bill to extend […]

Americans Think Congress Is Useless. The Democrats Are Determined To Prove Them Right

Politics

Yesterday I posted about our weak kneed leaders in Congress. Today they seem set on proving my point: With a potentially bruising election less than six weeks away, Democrats on Capitol Hill came to an impasse Thursday over what to do about the Bush tax cuts. The result was a decision to do nothing, at […]

Weak Knee Leaders

Politics

You can tell an election is just right around the corner by this summation Greg did: * Are Senate Dems going wobbly? It appears that Senate Dems may abandon the idea of holding a vote on extending the middle class tax cuts. Incredibly, the thinking is that a vote is unnecesesary because the lines on […]

Speaker Hoyer?

Politics

If the Republicans don’t win the House back in the fall, then they have a backup plan: Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) is trying to foment a long-shot Democratic rebellion against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that would install House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) in her place after the November elections.

Look At These Teabaggers

Misc

Bob pointed out this picture last night: To which he said: Without insulting the guy, here’s how I would describe him.

Misc

Not a real shocker here, but it turns out that a lot of the TARP recipients are lining the pockets of our leaders through political donations: In recent filings with the Federal Election Commission, the political action committee for Bank of America (which got $15 billion in bailout money) sent out $24,500 in the first […]
