As a Navy Veteran it is not hard to understand why my fellow Vets would back George Allen. Allen is the Veteran’s candidate of choice because he is right on so many issues facing Veterans today. But mostly, because the looming Defense cuts will decimate our military if they are allowed to go into effect. Veterans know […]

Welfare is supposed to be there to give recipients the basic needs support and enough to get by until they can get back on their feet. Unfortunately, that is no longer true. Liberals have been enriching welfare so much fo so long that if you fall on hard times and need a little help to […]

If you missed the big speech President Obama has been promising to deliver on jobs, let me give you the short version: Tax, tax tax. Spend, spend, spend. Tax the rich, hire more teachers, build roads and extend unemployment benefits. Oh, and if you have any ideas like smaller government or less government spending, he […]

Fox News reports today, “Every Senate Republican has signed onto a letter vowing to block all Democratic-backed legislation until the chamber extends the Bush tax cuts and approves a spending bill to keep the government running, Fox News has learned.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called members of the House of Representatives back to Washington from their districts today to pass what the Democrat leadership considers a priority—a $26 billion bailout for teachers unions and spendthrift state governments. This is, of course, on top of recent spending on bailouts, the massive, unpopular health care bill, unemployment […]

The Wall Street Journal has a must-read editorial today explaining the real meaning of the debate over paying for unemployment benefits and President Obama’s press conference yesterday. The WSJ writes, “President Obama introduced three Americans—an auto worker, a fitness center employee and a woman in real estate—who’ve been out of work so long they underscore […]

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 […]

The cynicism of Democrats and the Obama administration grows ever more audacious with each new proposal they take advantage of a crisis to push. It’s well known that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel subscribes to a philosophy of what he once described as, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” […]

A job is a job, right? Wrong. When it is a government job, it is paid for by taxpayers. When it is a temporary job like Census work, it is nothing more than a constitutionally unfunded mandated to count citizens we already know about, paid for with money we don’t have in order to allow […]

I posed these questions on wheresericcantor.com in response to a post dated today concerning the $125 million Unemployment Stimulus. After several comments between myself and Brad, I posed the following questions, which were promptly deleted. I believe they are fair questions that must be considered before we reconsider accepting the $125 million dollars from the […]

Virginia Democrats are simply wrong about the Commonwealth accepting the Obama unemployment stimulus money. Taking this money means Nancy Pelosi and President Obama get to rewrite Virginia Laws as part of the deal. The strings attached to the Obama and Pelosi money will require a massive increase in benefits, a major extension to the length […]

Democratic Candidate Creigh Deeds is at it again. He is unable to find any issues on which to trump Republican candidate Bob McDonnell, so he is going back to the failed $125 million unemployment offer from Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama. What Deeds does not want you to know is that this $125 million offer […]

Bob McDonnell and Virginia Republicans are now completely vindicated for turning down the $125 million in Federal stimulus money to expand unemployment benefits. Taking the Federal dollars required states to increase the unemployment benefits paid out weekly, extend the length of time one may draw benefits from 26 weeks to 59 weeks. It also added […]
