Virginia republican State Senator Walter Stosch has made the best case yet on why Virginian’s should consider electing Democrat Terry McAuliffe as Virginia’s next governor. (Note: I use a lower case “r” to denote RINO. Thus, Ted Cruz (R) and Bob McDonnell (r) are both correct. And Stosch deserves a veer small “r”.) Now no […]

The scandal involving IRS discrimination against conservative groups is growing. In one case LifeNews has profiled, a pro-life group was told it had to promote abortion. Now, the Thomas More Society is speaking out about blatant bias by the supposedly apolitical tax-collection agency. The pro-life legal group informed LifeNews today that cases it handled support […]

‘Raising taxes as our economy continues to struggle is not a solution, and the majority of Americans and businesses understand that.’ WASHINGTON, DC – In the Weekly Republican Address, U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) says that raising taxes on small businesses, as Senate Democrats voted to do this week, is the wrong solution in the […]

As Americans struggle to pump gas in their cars to go about their daily lives, Democrats have no problem with the price of gas. This is simply unbelievable. And unacceptable. Watch this video and see if you agree. These guys are talking about the Democrat’s gas plan. DEMS: ‘It Is Not A Question Of Gas […]

Over the weekend, liberal columnist Frank Rich wrote a long piece for New York Magazine, calling on President Obama to implement more policies that could make the economy worse: more taxes and ever more government spending. Unfortunately, Rich may not have to worry, since Democrats seem determined to push more of these failed policies on […]

As President Obama finally engaged in talks about addressing this country’s massive debt and deficits in connection with the White House’s request to raise the debt ceiling, Democrats seemed to double down on their insistence on tax hikes. As CNN Money put it in a headline this morning, “Debt ceiling talks turn to taxes – […]

As The Hill reports today, the Senate is scheduled to vote tonight on Democrats’ bill (S. 940) to raise taxes on American energy producers, which many Democrats admit will do nothing to lower the high gas prices Americans are struggling with each day. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), a member of Democrat Senate leadership, admitted […]

It’s been interesting that in the course of this week, the one year anniversary of Democrats’ unpopular and expensive health care bill becoming law, we’ve seen supporters of the bill acknowledge some of its serious flaws. According to Politico, “Rep. Anthony Weiner [D-NY] said Wednesday he was looking into how a health law waiver […]

In an editorial, The Wall Street Journal writes today, “Among Donald Berwick’s greatest rhetorical hits is this one: ‘any health-care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must—must—redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and less fortunate.’ Count that as one more reason that President Obama made Dr. Berwick a […]

Another day, another promise from Democrats about their unpopular health care bill is exposed as mere rhetoric as reality shows the opposite to be true. Throughout the health care debate last year, Americans were assured by President Obama and Democrats that their health care plans would lower health care costs and reduce government spending on […]

I join millions of Americans in expressing appreciation for the Senate Finance Committee’s decision to remove the provision in the pending health care bill that authorizes end-of-life consultations (Section 1233 of HR 3200). It’s gratifying that the voice of the people is getting through to Congress; however, that provision was not the only disturbing detail […]
