The legislatively impotent Eric Cantor will approve the full funding of Obamacare before this final battle is done. Mark my words. While Ted Cruz plans to do what he can to defund Obamacare in the Senate, most give him little chance of success, since Mitch McConnell is solidly in favor of funding Obamacare and thwarting […]

The cat is out of the bag. ObamaCare wasn’t designed to fix health care costs, it was designed to “nudge” America into a Euro-Socialist government provided system. Harry Reid admitted what many of us already knew: In just about seven weeks, people will be able to start buying Obamacare-approved insurance plans through the new health […]

The Washington Times writes, “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday that he will try to push through a change to Senate rules that would limit the GOP’s ability to filibuster bills. . . . ‘I think that the rules have been abused and that we’re going to work to change them,’ he told reporters. . .

Reuters writes today, “Republican leaders in the U.S. Congress expressed surprise and doubt on Tuesday about President Barack Obama’s comment in debate with Republican challenger Mitt Romney that the automatic spending cuts set for the new year ‘will not happen.’” Obama said, “First of all, the sequester is not something I proposed, it’s something that […]

Politico reported yesterday, “The DISCLOSE Act has died again.

On a strictly partisan 53-45 vote, it fell short of […]

In yet another attempt to pass their partisan DISCLOSE Act last night, Democrats once more fell far short of the 60 votes that would be needed to advance the legislation. After Democrat senators spent until after midnight complaining about this result on the Senate floor, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has decided to… have […]

With Americans facing the largest tax hike in U.S. history and the Pentagon facing defense cuts the Secretary of Defense says would be “devastating,” with not a single appropriations bill passed in the Senate and with more than 3 years without a budget, Senate Democrats are of course ignoring all of these things today and instead […]

Democrat leaders claim they’re concerned about the high prices Americans are paying at the pump, but they continue to demonstrate that they’re not interested in changing some basic policies that could produce more and cheaper American energy.

Last week, Democrats and President Obama spent the week pushing a bill to raise taxes on American energy producers, even though not a single one could explain how this was supposed to help Americans feeling the pinch of high gas prices.

Today, Senate Democrats and President Obama showcased their misplaced priorities after they pushed for a long series of cloture votes on district court judges instead of moving forward on a bipartisan House-passed bill that would create jobs.

With the White House in the midst of a campaign to push Richard Cordray, the president’s nominee to head the unaccountable agency created by the Dodd-Frank bill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has filed cloture on his nomination, making a cloture vote likely Thursday or Friday.

Today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) forced a cloture vote on President Obama’s nominee to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, Caitlin Halligan. Senate Republicans opposed her confirmation, and the vote failed, 54-45. Unfortunately, Halligan has a controversial record with activist views on the 2nd Amendment and the War on Terror. As Senate […]

According to the AP, President Obama will travel to Texas today to push his $447 billion stimulus bill and Politico reports that Vice President Joe Biden will similarly be stumping for the bill in Florida.
