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 […]

House Republicans finally came up with a good idea. If Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats continue to avoid their duty and pass a budget, the House wants to dock their pay. In other words, if you don’t do your job, you don’t get paid. That’s pretty darn hard to defend to the American Public. […]

Four years ago the Republican Party entered a self imposed funk. Much like they are in now. So we didn’t knock off an incumbent president. That’s a shame. A crying shame. But the time for crying is over. Now it’s time to buck up and assess where we are. It seems pretty dark, but we are a […]

Early in the campaign season I sat down with Virginia’s former Governor and US Senator George Allen in a Richmond restaurant for a one on one discussion with him. We talked for a couple of hours about his past votes and his political philosophy currently and going forward. Like many of the readers of Virginia […]

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 […]

Politico reports today, “A liberal non-profit group linked to Harry Reid is launching what it says will be a long-term multimillion-dollar advertising campaign targeting the conservative Koch brothers. The campaign, which is funded by Patriot Majority, kicks off Tuesday with a $500,000 cable television ad buy accusing Charles and David Koch of trying ‘to buy this year’s […]

I finally decided that even though this is something of an old story, I must say it: The Senate should censure Majority Leader Harry Reid for saying/accusing Mitt Romney of not paying any income taxes. He uses anonymous source(s) and has no proof. It is an incendiary charge for a person of Reid’s statute to […]

Ok. I admit I had a lot of fun with this one. Remember when Tim Kaine was known in these parts as the Absentee Governor?

Woo Hoo! But I doubt Harry Reid will even consider being responsible with America’s money. From the Washington Times: In a move that serves as a capstone to Rep. Ron Paul’s colorful career, the House on Wednesday approved a bill that would let Congress’s chief investigators conduct a full audit of the Federal Reserve’s shrouded decision-making process.

Politico reported yesterday, “The DISCLOSE Act has died again. Senate Democrats’ second attempt in less than 24 hours to advance the campaign finance bill failed Tuesday — even after at least 16 senators held the floor for six hours Monday night in support of the measure. 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 […]

After inheriting a surplus of $1.5 Billion when he became Governor of Virginia and squandering that nest egg into a $4.5 Billion Dollar Shortfall, Tim Kaine has proved that Tim Kaine-sian economics simply do not work. Note to the Kaine Supporters: Tossing out a drive-by budget that massively raised taxes on Virginians to fix his budget […]
