I (Sandy) have known Del. Chris Peace for sometime. In fact, even when I was not in his district, I was impressed with him very much. Delegate Peace has become a leader in the House of Delegates. He had a regular column in the Times-Dispatch. He is a movement conservative and generally votes right. He […]

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal’s Stephen Moore at the end of last week, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell reiterated that in order to get an agreement to avoid the fiscal cliff, there needs to be some leadership from President Obama. “The missing person, the guy who was AWOL in 2011, is still the president. I think a good starting […]

The Hill writes today, “Two-thirds of likely voters say the weak economy is Washington’s fault, and more blame President Obama than anybody else, according to a new poll for The Hill. It found that 66 percent believe paltry job growth and slow economic recovery is the result of bad policy. Thirty-four percent say Obama is the most […]

While ‘Democratic’ Senatorial Candidate Timmy Kaine pushes for more and more Obama change as the number one cheer-girl for the Neo-Marxist in the White House, America just ain’t into the change Obama has wreaked on brought to our shores. A new poll shows that most Americans believe Barack Obama has upheld his campaign promise to change America, 56% say that […]

As my readers know my Favorite Democrat was Rep. Heath Shuler of NC, the former Redskins and Saints QB, and conservative member of the House. I even nominated Rep. Shuler for President! But I began to sour on Shuler when he refused to vote to repeal Obamacare and he did not run for Governor of […]

The Super Committee has failed. The Democrats one and only goal here is to make Republicans go for a tax increase. Again. And they plan to use this “compromise” to win in 2012. Again. So what do you do when the answer to the question “Are you better off now than you were four years […]

After ignoring or avoiding the stimulus bill President Obama has been campaigning around the country for the last few weeks, Senate Democrats are finally holding a vote this afternoon on it. Of course, the vote is expected to fail, and despite Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) predictions on MSNBC this morning that the “overwhelming majority of […]

Politico reports today, “Liberals on Monday cheered President Barack Obama’s plan to hike taxes on the wealthy to cut the deficit. But the response from Democrats on the front lines of 2012 election battles? Silence. Or, at best, tepid enthusiasm. Centrist Democrats, a dwindling breed on Capitol Hill, were quickly faced with another rough choice […]

For all the left wing talk about green jobs and technology, and the billions and billions “invested” in the government sanctioned companies, how ironic it is that this will be the reason that President Obama is retired after one term. It has been easy for the greenie-weenies to scam Obama. He is willing, first and […]

Paul Simon’s “Slip Slidin’ Away” is replacing Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop (Thinkin’ about Tomorrow)” in the Appropriate Theme Song category.

First and foremost, the plan proposed by House Speaker John Boehner was a real stinker even before the CBO came out with their analysis showing Boehner’s numbers were wrong. Instead of the promised #1.2 Trillion (over 10 years) cuts, the CBO said just over $800 Billion (or $80 Billion a year). But either way, most […]
