I am on the email list for ConservativeHome blog (which I recommend heartily) and I was curious what the pro-Tory blog would say. But it did not come to me today! I thought maybe I got kicked off for aggravated touting for UKIP (which I plead guilty!) in the recent postings. But I went to […]

No debt ceiling plan of their own. No budget for well over 800 days. No leadership from their President. No jobs. No economic growth. It seems the only thing Democrats are capable of these days is doing nothing. And killing any and every idea that comes from Republicans. And whining. A lot! See, the Republicans […]

By Rep. Eric Cantor February 26, 2011 America is at a tipping point, and Republicans have begun to take action. Last week, the House passed unprecedented legislation reducing discretionary spending this fiscal year by more than $100 billion.

On Monday President Barack Obama released his latest budget, another financial mess that adds to the national debt while raising taxes as well. His $3.7 trillion budget fails to take government spending seriously, offering tentative cuts at best. In response, Congressman Eric Cantor offered the following statement: “President Obama says he wants to win the […]
