Yes, I was thrilled with the wonderful filibuster by Senator Rand Paul last week. I also was pleased with the news and commentary about it. Except for my least favorite senator: Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. He and Senator McCain were ridiculous in their criticism of the Paul effort. Here’s a report from CNN’s Political […]

The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper noticed Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) saying on the Senate floor that “I am not going to keep cutting the discretionary budget, which, by the way, is not out of control, despite what you hear on Fox News . . . .” It’s rather amazing that Democrats are so blind to our spending […]

‘His latest stimulus bill is so flawed that Senate Democrats have rejected it… It’s nothing but a rehash of the same failed ideas he’s already tried, combined with a huge tax increase. This is a cynical political ploy that’s designed not to create jobs for struggling Americans, but to save the President’s own job.’ […]

The announcement comes months after President Barack Obama called on Congress to deliver legislation to his desk by September […]

MSNBC has a fascinating article about how more and more airports are considering private companies to run security rather than the TSA: “The TSA has grown too big and we’re unhappy with the way it’s doing things,” said Larry Dale, president of Orlando Sanford International Airport. “My board is sold on the fact that the […]

Reuters reports, “Senate Democrats on Tuesday unveiled an earmark-laden spending bill that would fund the entire U.S. government, and Republicans who have renounced the pet spending projects quickly vowed to oppose it. The 2,000-page spending bill, months overdue, would enable President Barack Obama to tighten financial oversight, subsidize college tuition bills and move forward with […]

This morning, President Obama went to the podium in the Rose Garden to accuse Senate Republicans of blocking an extension of unemployment benefits. USA Today writes, “A Republican filibuster that has three times blocked the extension ‘reflects a lack of faith in the American people,’ Obama said. ‘They’re not looking for a handout. They desperately […]

Last Week, Virginia Right! spoke with Senator John Thune (R-SD) on a media conference call. That post may be viewed here.
While that conversation was specific to the Health Care Reconciliation Bill facing the Senate at the time, Senator Thune is also the Chairman of the US Senate Republican Policy Committee.

Virginia Right! had the opportunity to speak with Republican US Senator John Thune of South Dakota this afternoon on a conference call concerning the Health Care bill that just passed and the Senate Reconciliation votes taking place this evening.
On the bill itself, Senator Thune said:
“First off, this is a disaster. It’s passage is tragic for the future of America. Not only because it’s bad Health Care policy, but because of all of the debt we are going to pile on, the games that were played to understate the true cost of this and the tricks and gimmicks that were used betrays the future generations because it’s going to cost us trillions and trillions of dollars more than anybody anticipated.”

In one of the funniest scenes in years by Al Franken, the Minnesota blight on the US Senate, Franken attacks Republican Senator John Thune, who demonstrated that the massive taxes kick in years before any significant benefits from the Senate Health Reform bill actually materialize.
