Democrats have always been strangers to the truth and huge fans of revisionist history. And nothing states that more clearly than the intellectually deficient calls for a return to the “Clinton Tax Rates” to bring prosperity back to the country. And of course, the de facto leader of the intellectually deficient is Barack Obama who used this false [...]

I could hardly believe the headline in the Richmond Times-Dispatch today: “Rep. Scott Favors Letting All Tax Cuts Expire” (This is the online headline, for the record) This means Representative Scott, the representative from the Third Congressional District, favors raising taxes for many in his district. Tax brackets will go up, credits will go down. [...]

Rep. Rick Boucher is asking voters to believe he was acting in their best interest when he voted for the coal killing cap and trade bill. Boucher was chairman of the energy sub-committee of the previous Congress which first drafted the legislation, and was deemed to be instrumental in the bills development. Boucher opened his pre-vote remarks on the bill by saying that he was in “strong support of the bill.” [ The challenger Morgan Griffith, one of the most influential and efffective members of the Virginia General Assembly, opposes the Obama/Pelosi/Boucher “cap and trade” scheme.

The Obama Social Security Administration Trustees say there will be no Cost Of Living Adjustment next year, or the following year. This has not happened since 1975 when the COLA were made automatic.
Due to an increase in the cost of the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit, Senior Citizens will see their monthly check actually go down. In January, 2009, while George W.

Normally, the August recess is the time when our elected officials in D.C. come home for a good, productive chat with the voters. Town Hall meetings, open forums and just plain open dialog.
It seems the two of you are not planning any such meetings where you are going to listen to our input. Could that be because you know we have a lot to say about what you have been doing? Could it be that you already know how we feel on Cap and Tax, Nationalized Health Care and the pork you have been buying with our credit cards?
We have a lot to say, and you need to listen. Should you fail to listen to us and continue your arrogant and ruinous path that is taking ouo children’s and grandchildren’s future prosperity in exchange for your debt, we will all remember that when you are up for election next time.
